The Adore Shack is a quintessential beach bungalow oozing with appeal, character and knotty pine. During your stay, you can soak up the ocean vistas from the comfortable living room and kitchen or take less than 30 steps to walk across the street to the beach access!

This retro-style kitchen will make you feel like you're in your very own diner. Put on some disco and dance as you make something to snack on, and appreciate it at the bar overlooking the water through the enormous open window. The living room provides plenty of cozy seating so you can sit back, relax and watch a movie on the flat-screen T.V., or watch the film of nature by looking at the waves outside.

The Adore Shack is ideal for the whole family with a king, a queen, two twin beds and a pack-and-play (all refreshed in 2024). Two fur babies (dogs only) are welcome to stay and will be met with their own collapsible food/water bowls that you can bring with you to the beach (or Deer Island - only one block away) to play!

The Appreciate Shack holds a piece of Oak Island history as one of the only Hurricane Hazel (1954) homes left on the island. The Appreciate Shack is waiting for you to add your memories - book today to have a chance to stay at this funky piece of heaven!

Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the perfect rental home:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Love Shack: Charming Oceanview Cottage on East Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area attraction you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. text the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
