Come stay at our peaceful guest suite where you can walk to the beach in mins.! Our suite is only half a mile from the beach access on our street, as well as Publix, eateries, parks, and cafes. After a day calming at the beach or taking in local sites, you’ll appreciate appreciating our outdoor shower with hot and cold water. You’ll also appreciate sitting outside in our guest sitting area with your fav evening drink and taking in the peaceful.

Island Sense’s guest suite is a thoughtfully designed studio above our garage. We have a kitchenette with mini refrigerator & separate freezer… microwave… kuerig coffee maker… electric tea pot… plates & silverware etc are all included. We have a dining table and two chairs, adore seat, bags rack, queen sized bed (we include bed linens and hand & bath towels for all guests), 40” intelligent TV (Netflix supplied), 2 beach chairs, coolers for the beach, beach cart, charcoal grille, outdoor seating area and outdoor shower (with hot and cold water!).

Parking is simple and complimentary here (note from April 1st thru Sept 30 one needs to pay to park at the beach… but from our place you can effortlessly walk and save that $$!)

All guests have a separate guest entrance and side yard nearly completely to themselves. Please note that we live in the main home on the property but rarely use the outdoor shower in the side yard.

We have a friendly outdoor cat named Tippy who might come to visit you. She believes anyone on our property has (obviously, lol) come here to see her. Feel complimentary to ignore her or appreciate on her.

We do not allow guests to bring family pets/service animals here because of Tippy and our elderly dog, Ellie, who is very scared of other dogs.

The owners have freshly installed a pool but due to insurance and liability issues, pool access for all guests is NOT supplied. We apologize, but please when booking a stay here, do so with the understanding that all guests are prohibited from using the pool. Thank you for understanding.

Please no smoking of any kind indoors. If you smoke, please let us know so we can put an ashtray outside for you. Thank you.

If you would like to rent bicycles, a golf cart, shibumi shade etc, please message me and I can send you info on local businesses who rent these items.

We live in a peaceful neighborhood so we do not allow events and ask that guests peaceful down at 10pm.

We ask that all adult guests are 21+. If you’d like to bring an older kid or a third guest, please message us to see if it’s possible.

Thank you for considering our little slice of heaven for your next vacation! We hope to host you soon!

Brunswick area rental home booking tips:

Finding the best rental value:

Booking your Brunswick area vacation rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitors guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best rental home in Oak Island:

Start by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Adorable guest suite ~ only half a mile straight down the street to BEACH has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rental home search.
Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs applied to your invoice.

More considerations:

Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local spots.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
