This classic Carolina beach home enjoys the best of the Maritime Forest, but is within a short walk to having your toes in the sand. It is the ideal place to savor the tranquility and serenity of the live oaks after a day at the beach, pools or on the golf course. In the morning, your coffee will be accompanied by a chorus of the island bird residents as they delight in the cool Atlantic breeze coming across the island.

The home is also well located at the end of the cul-de-sac to appreciate a gathering around the BBQ with a enormous open area in front, ideal for the kids to play.

A very short cart ride in the newer 4 seat carts gets you to the new BHI Club Aquatic Center which features 4 new tennis courts, a playground, short-grass recreational area, workout facility, multiple swimming pools and water slide, croquet course, casual and fine dining and, of course, the George Cobb designed, award winning 18-hole golf course.

Vacation rental home tips:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Brunswick area area. Booking in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Classic Coastal Carolina Beach House 4 BR 3 Baths Walk to Beach Pet Friendly has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If not, reach out to the host before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
