Among many other things, you'll also find an air fryer, kids dinnerware, mixing bowls with lids, tupperware, ninja blender, mixer, grilling silverware, wine openers, pots and pans, and yes, sharp knives. There is plenty of seating around the kitchen island and a dedicated workspace, great for setting up a laptop, if needed. Beside the island is also a kid's table, ideal for the little ones!

We think you will especially appreciate the outside of the home, with different options to savor such as upper and lower decks in the front of the home, which are ideal for gathering for your morning coffee, and watching the elegant sunsets in the evening. We appreciate listening to the sound of the ocean while appreciating the rocking chairs and gorgeous vistas!

Walking out on the back deck, you will see exceptional vistas of the waterway, overlooking a brand new saltwater pool added early in 2025, with a hot tub under the deck! Pool and hot tub are open year-round, although pool is not heated. Outdoor lighting around the pool make this awe-inspiring place to gather in the evening! The private dock is right on the water, ideal for fishing or catching fresh blue crab. You may see the occasional kayaker passing by, and the beautiful native birds doing a little fishing of their own!

There is also a picnic table under the front of the home, which is a great spot for lunches after returning from the beach, or playing cards in the evening. Cornhole boards, beach chairs, cooler, wagon, and kids toys are supplied for use during your stay! A 3-burner propane gas Weber grille is located in the pool area.

Much of Oak Island is accessible by golf cart, with local regulations accepting travel on roads that are posted 35mph or less. We appreciate taking it to local eateries and ice cream stores, or simply to use as a super easy way to get to and from the beach.

Strategies for getting the best rental home experience:

Find your best deal:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Brunswick area area. To book the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Hot Tub & Saltwater Pool! 3min Walk to Beach with Private Dock. Pet Friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your family.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the host immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix 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 feedback.
