This is your sign that it’s time to Paws Awhile and relax at the beach! Completed in 2025, this ocean view home offers a reverse floor plan that takes full advantage of the vistas of the Atlantic just across the street and welcomes up to two dogs per stay.

Settle into the comfortable curved sectional or loveseat to watch the big game with family, or gaze out the window to watch shorebirds swoop for their dinner instead. The open concept living space flows into the kitchen, where three seats at the center island provide ideal perches for your flock to keep the family prepare company as they put away groceries or prepare meals. Stainless steel appliances and a gleaming white backsplash anchor this space, which is completely outfitted with everything you’ll need to prepare and dine. The adjacent dining table seats six, and a half bath is located just off this space for convenience.

The master suite is furnished with a king bed and faces the water – wake each morning to the sound of the waves.

All other sleeping spaces are located on the lower level, with each bedroom featuring its own TV.

At the foot of the staircase, you’ll find an open room furnished with a wall-mounted TV and a modest desk complete with a computer monitor. A twin daybed gives this space flexibility to act as an additional sleeping area or a second living room. To the east, a bedroom with a double-over-double bunk bed connects to a second bedroom with a twin-over-double bunk bed through a Jack and Jill bathroom with a double vanity and standard tub/shower combo. The final bedroom has a queen bed and direct access to a full bathroom with a step-in shower and constructed-in shower bench. This bathroom also provides hall access, and a laundry closet just beside offers a full-sized washer and dryer.

Upper and lower covered porches on both the front and back of the home mean that there are plenty of spots where guests can savor the sea air. The upper ocean-facing porch provides splendid vistas of the Atlantic and a variety of seating from which to appreciate them, including Adirondack chairs and a classic rocker. Other porches provide an outdoor couch or even a porch swing for calming! Below the home, an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is appreciated when hauling sand-covered babies or fur-babies back from the beach, and a classic wooden picnic table provides a shady area to dine outside.

How to book the best Brunswick area rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in the Brunswick area area. To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas 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 owner or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the stay 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 hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in the Brunswick area area:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Paws Awhile: Dog-Friendly Home with Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or may be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
