LLN when you moved from Oak Island where did you go? Why did you leave? Work, people, job,etc? I have been strongly considering moving there or Southport. I was raised in the area, Bolivia, and want to move back home (after 11 years away). I can assure I am not a bum nor am I uneducated. I always wanted to live on Long Beach aka Oak Island.

Extremely high cost of living and extremely low wages comparatively. I vote not worth it.

I got offered a job paying seven times more than I was making teaching. But even without the job, we would not have made it much longer. So many folks down there supposedly work, but have a retirement attitude. It just seems EVERYTHING took longer and was much more trouble. You don't notice that on a one week vacation, but living amongst un dependable folks is very trying.

You don't interact with the well todo, but I found I could not rely on hardly anyone to show up on time or do anything as expected, or paid for.

Good luck.
