Recently crowned the winner of HGTV's 2024 Battle on the Beach, this professionally modernized 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom oceanfront vacation rental on Oak Island is a true coastal heaven! A Shore Place transcends the typical beach bungalow, offering a striking getaway that delightfully fuses Hamptons-style elegance with coastal appeal and unmatched comfort. Located in the coveted Kings Lynn area of West Beach, you're only a half-mile to The Point and a leisurely walk away from the fashionable Lonerider Brew Pub Restaurant.

As you step inside, you're instantly greeted by an broad wall of windows framing sweeping ocean vistas that fill the space with natural light. The open floor plan accentuates the striking exposed beam vaulted ceilings, while the real showstopper is the one-of-a-kind seashell fireplace crafted with shells collected from Oak Island's beach! After a day of coastal adventures, the two full-size couches invite you to relax and savor the view. For that additional touch of ambiance, switch on the electric fireplace with its captivating multicolored flames that add a comfortable glow to your evening. When it's time for a movie, the huge flat-screen TV provides 80+ channels on YouTube TV and complimentary Netflix — which is available on every TV throughout the home. The half bath is hidden off of the living space through a secret door, will you be able to find it?

The gourmet kitchen has completely transformed into a chef's paradise with extravagant multicolored stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient pot filler above the brand-new electric stove. Gather around the cavernous Fantasy Brown quartzite kitchen island that seats four for morning coffee and evening beverages. A completely equipped coffee station awaits with both a drip coffee maker and a Keurig to cater to everybody's preferences. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area comfortably seats six and features marvelous ocean vistas to elevate every meal.

Outside, the kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly onto the covered deck, where matching granite countertops, an outdoor sink, and a comfortable table for four make alfresco dining a delight. This covered space opens to an expansive oceanfront deck with five cozy rocking chairs, ideal for unwinding to the relaxing sound of the waves. Just beyond, a roomy constructed-in U-shaped seating area surrounds a gas fire pit, setting the scene for calming during the day and storytelling under the stars in the evening.

The primary king is a true getaway, complete with bespoke artwork, a serene blue-painted ceiling, and a wall-mounted TV. Its ensuite bath exudes spa-like luxury with a double vanity, delightful lozenge-shaped mirrors, a walk-in shower with a rain showerhead, and a soaking tub for ultimate relaxation. The second king suite features constructed-in cabinets, a wall-mounted TV, and an ensuite bath with a enormous tiled shower, toilet and double vanity, bringing both comfort and style.

A striking queen bedroom offers a calming space with its own wall-mounted TV, ideal for winding down after a beach day. Young guests will adore the enchanting "Castle Bunkroom," with its two constructed-in double beds featuring a castle facade and playful color-changing nautical lights that create a whimsical hideaway. These rooms have simple access to a handsomely designed full hall bath with a tub/shower combination.

For post-beach refreshment, there's an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water and an open cold-water shower at beach level. Fire up the gas grille for family cookouts, and securely stow your beach essentials, fishing gear, and bicycles in the lockable storage area under the home.

Strategies for getting the perfect Brunswick area rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Brunswick area area. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the Brunswick area area:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. HGTV Winner: Oceanfront Hamptons-Style Retreat in Kings Lynn has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. message the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
