Gather your crew together for some well-deserved shore leave at Admiral’s Quarters! This classic oceanfront beach bungalow sits along the dune line of Oak Island’s west beach and offers you a nostalgic harbor from the chaos of everyday life.

The comfortable living room provides plenty of seating across three armchairs, two couches and a appreciate seat. Watch a favorite movie together on the wall-mounted flatscreen TV thanks to cable service and a Blu-ray player or watch the colors of the sunset reflect on the waves as it sinks below the countless horizon just out your window. The long wooden dining table seats eight for mealtimes, with an additional six barstools included at the adjacent breakfast counter. The sizable kitchen is completely equipped with everything you need to prepare during your stay including a glass top stove newly installed in 2025.

Tucked away beside the kitchen is a master bedroom with a king bed, ocean vistas and an attached private bath with a standard tub/shower combo. Down the hall from the living room, the second full bathroom offers a step-in shower stall and shared hall access for the final two bedrooms. One bedroom offers a queen bed and a twin, while the other has a queen and a double.

Downstairs, the enclosed garage creates a welcome additional space for kids to run off energy should your stay include a rainy day. You’ll find the charcoal grille stored here until you’re ready for it, along with beach chairs for your use. There is also a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer. Outside, the enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water accepts you to rinse off the sand while appreciating the calming ocean breezes before heading upstairs.

The partially covered oceanfront porch is where you’re sure to spend many of your vacation hours. Whether you choose to settle in at the extended wooden picnic table with plenty of space for everybody to dine al fresca or the classic rocking chairs grouped for peaceful conversation, time seems to slow as you soak in the sun, lift your face to the breeze and slow your breathing to the rhythm of the waves. And when you can no longer resist the urge to dip your toes in the water, you’ll find beach access is painless and fast thanks to a dedicated sand path. (For those with mobility concerns, you're just homes away from public beach access with handicap mat for easier access.) Claim your stay at Admiral’s Quarters today!

Strategies for getting the perfect Oak Island rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Brunswick area attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• To start, have your family decide on dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Admiral's Quarters: Cozy Oceanfront Home with Covered Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Advice for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
