Leave your car parked for the the whole vacation! Want an painless walk to the beach? Want to be steps away from a great grocery store? Want walkability to stores? Would you like to be able to walk to a restaurant and bar? This home has it all! Recently remodeled and ready to help make lasting memories. 75 yards to direct beach access next to Publix grocery and beach stores. Walkability score 10! Shady back yard with a picnic table ideal for grilling. My wife and I bought this handsome ranch style home with the thoughts of what and where we wanted our retirement place to be. We were inspired by the towns we visited in Northern Europe, where the citizens could walk to work, shop, and play. We didn't expect to find a place that we could have all that and still be steps away from the handsome and uncrowded beaches that North Carolina offers, but we did. My wife and I welcome you into our home. From the centuries year old oak trees that offer shade from the summer sun in the back of our home, you can plan your next adventure while grilling out with our new gas grille. Play a game of corn hole, or just relax. Forget that special brand of coffee that would make it a ideal morning? No worries, head over to Publix and grab whatever you need. Don't worry about finding parking to get to the beach. Multiple great eateries are an simple walk as well. You might just lose that brother-in-law for a few hours when he finds that sports bar a couple blocks away.

A possible day itinerary could be as follows. Wake up in the morning and walk over to scoops ice cream and donuts and pick up a dozen made to order gourmet donuts (eat one there before you go, the fresher, the better). grab a cup of coffee and walk over to the beach to see what the surf looks like. If there's some waves you and your family might want to go body boarding (body boards included). around noon come on back to the home grille up some hamburgers. after lunch head back to the beach to soak up some sun or maybe go to one of the many stores close by. For supper you can either have supper there at the home or go out to eat to one of the many great eateries in the area. Don't forget to go to one of the many ice cream stores for evening dessert! My wife and I are here on the island to help you with anything that you might need.

Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Brunswick area rental home & When to go:

• Booking your Brunswick area vacation home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides that include money-saving offers, 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 gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best rental home in the Brunswick area area:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Beach house close to the ocean direct beach access has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your family.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
