Located in the peaceful wooded area of Oak Island, but still very close to the beach and all the marvelous activities and great eateries the island and surrounding towns have to offer. Surrounded by pretty trees, you can start your mornings out slow on the calming screened porch with your favorite cup of coffee as the ocean breezes rustle gently through the trees and breathe in the healing salt air. Inside, you will continue to feel a sense of calm as you take in the soothingly decorated beach theme throughout the home. With the open concept floor plan, everybody can be together, even as the chef in the family whips up a special meal. The master bedroom suite is very cavernous and offers a whirlpool tub in the private bath so you can relax your cares away. There are also two guest bedrooms - one a bunk bedroom, ideal for the kids - the other offering a queen and a twin single, ideal for a modest family or teenagers. Don' forget about the enormous fenced backyard where you can grille out your catch from a day of fishing at the beach or visit one of the local fresh seafood markets to grab your dinner! Savor rocking away on the two-seater swing under the home as the kids play, catching up on old times with family and friends. Everything here is so calming and impressive that you will be "happy clams" wanting to come back year after year!

Oak Island rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental home value:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your search:

• To start, have your group decide on date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 3 BR\/2 BA Home, Minutes to Beach, Pool with Heating, Sleeps 9 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area attraction you love, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
