Searching for the ideal beach rental to serve as your homebase while you hop from adventure to adventure during your next hideaway? Then look no further than Lily’s Pad! Located on Caswell Beach, this ocean view home with a private pool and hot tub offers convenient public beach access and welcomes up to two dogs per stay.

Step into the comfortable living room and settle on the curved sectional to watch a movie on the enormous intelligent TV or relax in front of the fireplace. Warm wood tones, shades of aqua and pops of tropical orange give off coastal vibes that harmonize with the pretty marsh vistas beyond. Pluck a novel from the mantle and settle in the recliner with your next beach read as you listen to shorebirds call.

The wooden dining table is set for six but can seat up to eight for meals or a friendly game of UNO or Monopoly. Five additional seats are available at the adjacent breakfast bar. The kitchen provides everything you need to prepare, whether you’re whipping up a fast afternoon snack or starting off the day with a full breakfast spread, along with plenty of serving and dinnerware.

Each bedroom in the home features a TV for personal entertainment, ceiling fans for comfort and the privacy of an en suite bath. The queen bedroom offers a pair of dressers and a wardrobe to ensure there’s plenty of room for your belongings. The attached bath is furnished with a pedestal sink and a step-in tile shower stall with a constructed-in shower bench. The twin bedroom also provides a dresser for storage, and the shower stall for this bath features a wide door and walk in entry that make it easier to aid younger kids. A laundry closet is conveniently located between these bedrooms with a full-sized washer and dryer.

The master suite is located on the upper level with a door at the bottom of the stairs to offer additional privacy. The loft-style room with vaulted ceilings is broad and furnished with a king bed, where you can wake up to vistas of the Atlantic via the sliding glass doors that lead to a modest balcony. A dressing area provides plenty of space to get ready each day, with a settee, wardrobe, vanity and full-length mirror available. A dining table against the wall means you can sneak a private meal upstairs away from the bustle of the group, and a private seating area accepts you to take in impressive vistas across to Southport from that sunbathed interior or the private deck beyond. The attached master bathroom offers a vanity with his and hers sinks and a huge step in shower stall with an antique-style rain showerhead.

The rest of the family has access to exceptional outdoor spaces as well! Savor your coffee on the covered front porch as you watch the sunlight reflect on the waves or look for porpoises playing in the surf. Dine al fresco on the partially covered back deck as the kids play in the pool below, or just relax and appreciate the sweeping vistas of the horizon beyond.

The pool area is completely fenced for safety and features both a pool and a hot tub, as well as classic pool loungers where you can relax and soak in the sun. Pool heating is available upon advance request with an additional fee. A park grille is supplied for your family’s bar-b-que master, and you’ll also find a fish-cleaning station that your star angler can put to use. Tucked beneath the stairs is a sheltered outdoor shower with hot and cold water. While not entirely enclosed, this convenient rinse off is still private and a welcome aid for washing sand off of babies and fur-babies alike.

When you’re ready to head to the beach, the closest access point is just four homes to the left and across the street. If you need a break from the sun and sand, a variety of adventures await, from exploring the Oak Island Lighthouse that’s practically next door to venturing over the bridge into Southport to discover the oceanside town that you can see from your back deck! Or stay on the island and venture into the Oak Island city limits instead, where you’ll find a variety of stores, eateries, arcades and other activities that you can reach in a short drive of five to ten mins.. We know that however you like to fill the hours of your beach vacation, Lily’s Pad is the jumping off point you’ve been waiting for!

Guests should note that an additional pool heating fee is required for each day a guest requests pool heating. Guest must request the pool heating and pay the fee by calling the OIA office during normal business hours at least 48 hours prior to arrival. Pool heating is only available when temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit and warmer.

Strategies to get the best Brunswick area rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in the Brunswick area area. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose yourrental home:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Lily's Pad: Coastal Cottage with Pool, Two Hot Tubs has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear 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 it a point as part of your feedback.
