If your ideal beach rental looks like it jumped right off of the page of a Southern Living magazine, then we have just the place for you to Let The Fin Begin! Located on the canal with broad vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway with a private boat dock, this intimate home is bright and flooded with natural light.

The living room provides plenty of comfortable seating to watch a favorite movie together on the enormous flatscreen TV, or savor a game of cards around the coffee table while soaking in the striking view instead! You’ll find a roomy dining table that comfortably seats eight located between the living room and kitchen, with bar stools available at the kitchen counter for additional seating. The modern kitchen is completely equipped for preparing your favorite meals or fresh catch of the day.

Just off the living room you’ll find the master bedroom with attached bath and direct deck access with a view. Off of the kitchen are two more bedrooms that share a full bathroom with hall access. All bedrooms on the upper floor have queen beds.

On the ground level, you’ll find the garage. This area has its own private entrance and is not directly accessible from the upper floor.

The front and back porches provide plenty of outdoor seating. Kids and adults alike can appreciate the grassy backyard. While the boat dock is available for guest use, the attached boat lift is not an available luxury. As an added additional, the public boat ramp is less than a block away, as is the Lonerider Restaurant and Bar.

Guests with allergies should note that dogs are occasionally present during an owner or owner guest stay.

Booking the best Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Book your vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfect Brunswick area rental:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Let The Fin Begin: Cozy Waterway Cottage with Breathtaking Views and Boat Dock has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before booking the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area attraction you love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review 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 quickly to fix it.
