Be among the first to appreciate this pretty eight-bedroom oceanfront home, freshly finished in 2023. Kings Kraken is the ideal hideaway for your family and up to two dogs! Located between the Eastern Channel of the Intracoastal Waterway and the beach, the vistas will have you flitting from room to room to catch a glimpse from each window.

Walking in, you'll first notice the calming blue wall color contrasts generously with bamboo floors. Wander down the hall to find five total bedrooms on this floor. To the right, you'll come across two rooms with a separate bathroom between them: there is a twin-over-king bunk bed with a trundle in one and a king bed in the other.

A bedroom containing two twin-over-twin bunk beds, one with a trundle, is the only bedroom without balcony access. This bedroom shares a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with another bedroom that features a queen bed. Another bedroom with a king-sized bed features an en-suite bathroom on this floor.

Open the outside door and find a partially covered deck with a private pool. You can watch the ocean waves while swimming laps! This home also has an outdoor shower to rinse your sandy feet before walking onto the deck and a picnic table is available for family meals appreciated with a sea breeze. You'll also savor the game room, complete with a pool table, dart board and corn hole.

Up the stairs, you'll find the open-concept living space, a great place to enjoy time together as a family. Kings Kraken's well-equipped kitchen provides two fridges in case you came equally well-prepared with ingredients! It also has elegant lighting fixtures and a charming tile backsplash. The enormous dining table seats ten, with four additional chairs at the kitchen island.

The living room has plenty of comfortable seating where guests can mingle and play board games, with a big TV to stream your favorite shows. Walk out the door to the oceanfront balcony, where you can sit in the rockers and watch the waves lap against the shore or eat at the patio table with the sound of ocean waves in the background.

The primary bedroom adjacent to the living room has a king bed, windows up to the ceiling and a sliding farm door to the en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Down the hall, the other two bedrooms also have king beds, with balcony access overlooking the Eastern Channel. There is a separate bathroom between these rooms.

A very kid-friendly property, Kings Kraken's amenities include a high chair, infant gate and Pack 'n' Play travel crib. There are also kid-proof alarms near the pool to provide added safety for your little ones. The rental comes with an elevator and step-complimentary access bathrooms for those with limited mobility. There is keyless entry and wireless internet access, plus a TV in every bedroom. There is also a washer and dryer, so you're not bringing those sandy towels home! A level 2 EV charger with a dual adaptor is even included and is compatible with all electric cars.

Walk closer to the sand with ease using a personal pathway that leads over the dunes in front of the home. From there, it's a short jaunt across the public beach access area to the pristine beach of The Point. This property is located under half a mile from the Point, a trendy spectacular spot on the island, which is only an eight-min. walk. A mile away is Lonerider Brewpub, a local favorite and a great spot to sip a craft beer while watching boats drift by on the waterway.

Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Brunswick area rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the perfect rental in the Brunswick area area:

• To start, have your family decide on a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Kings Kraken: Beautiful Home with Direct Beach Access and Views of Waterway has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Tips to have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean 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 good reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
