This five to six-person hot tub has 23 adjustable jets that target shoulders, back muscles and feet for a massaging hydrotherapy experience.

Unwind on the front porch as you sip your morning coffee and savor the island breeze or take your dog for a leisurely walk on the shaded streets. Just inside the front door, the nautical-themed living room is a cozy place to recoup after a long day on the beach. Two armchairs and a chaise couch provide plenty of seating space to gather around the sizable flat screen TV to cheer on your favorite team or watch a movie together.

The backyard provides ample outdoor living space and amenities. Totally fenced, kids and dogs can play worry-complimentary while your group gathers around the fire pit for conversation. Cool off in the above-ground pool, effortlessly accessible from the raised decking just outside your back door. A canopy ensures shaded deck space at any time of day, complete with optional screen walls and a ceiling fan to reinforce the sea breeze. There are lounge chairs for sunbathing and additional dining seating for six if you prefer eating al fresco.

When it’s time to hit the sand, you’re only a short three-min. drive from the nearest public beach access, which can also be reached in less than 15 mins. by foot. And once you’ve returned from the beach, an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes cleaning up to discover island dining options or close by Southport painless and convenient.

Soak in the slower pace of island life and appreciate time with friends and family. Float beneath Carolina blue skies as you listen to the music of rustling oak leaves. Make memories that last a lifetime during an idyllic vacation at A Great Place to Stay!

Our top Rental property booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Booking your Brunswick area vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain deals for local tours and attractions.

• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually 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 fine dining?
