Welcome to our family's home away from home: "Lighthouse Point." We lived in Lighthouse Point, Florida, when we were first married and appreciated our beach time there. Fifteen years, three kids, and one move to North Carolina later... we discovered Bald Head Island, our new beach favorite!

The beach access is just steps from the home, which means it's painless to traverse with your kids and beach gear in tow. We're adjacent to the Bald Head Island Club so you have a short walk or a one-min. golf cart ride to savor all the amenities there, which include multiple pools with splash pads and slides, a playground, golf, tennis, exercise facility, croquet, casual dining poolside at Horizons and fine dining inside the club. Our home is also just mins. to the Maritime Market, Shoals Club, as well as all of the fun activities on the island.

There is covered parking under the home for the two golf carts (one 4-passenger and one 6-passenger included with the rental) as well as an outdoor shower to clean off after a day at the beach.

The first floor features 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a laundry area, and a kid's lounge with a 65" SmartTV and comfortable couch (accepting the adults peaceful time upstairs!). Our home sleeps 10, but we have a home rule of a max of 6 adults. The kids' lounge has a huge bay window and access to the porch. There are constructed-ins with toys and games for all ages. The first master has a king-size bed and ocean vistas. You can access the covered porch from the master and relax in the rocking chairs while listening to the waves! The extravagant attached bath has a huge double vanity with quartz countertops and an upsized tiled shower. The second master also has a king bed and attached bath with quartz vanity and tiled shower. Both masters also include 55" SmartTVs. The third bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk room. The bunk room has one twin-over-twin and one twin-over-full bunk bed (sleeps 4-5 kiddos).

The second floor is a completely open concept that flows onto a sizable covered porch with handsome ocean vistas. This is the ideal place for appreciating calming dinners! The kitchen includes bespoke cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a enormous center island, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, wine refrigerator, and walk-in pantry. The dining area has a sizable table with seating for 8 in addition to seating for 4 at the island. There is a comfortable sitting room -- ideal for reading a book or watching the sunsets. The family room has a large sectional, a wall of bespoke constructed-ins, and a 65" SmartTV.

Brunswick area vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Brunswick area vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Ocean View - Family Friendly - Steps to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area beach you love, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
