This is your sign that it’s time to Paws Awhile and relax at the beach! Completed in 2025, this ocean view home offers a reverse floor plan that takes full advantage of the vistas of the Atlantic just across the street and welcomes up to two dogs per stay.

Settle into the comfortable curved sectional or loveseat to watch the big game with family, or gaze out the window to watch shorebirds swoop for their dinner instead. The open concept living space flows into the kitchen, where three seats at the center island provide ideal perches for your flock to keep the family prepare company as they put away groceries or prepare meals. Stainless steel appliances and a gleaming white backsplash anchor this space, which is completely supplied with everything you’ll need to prepare and dine. The adjacent dining table seats six, and a half bath is located just off this space for convenience.

The master suite is furnished with a king bed and faces the water – wake each morning to the sound of the waves. A TV is included for personal entertainment, and the en suite bath features a double vanity and a step-in shower stall. All other sleeping spaces are located on the lower level, with each bedroom featuring its own TV.

At the foot of the staircase, you’ll find an open room furnished with a wall-mounted TV and a modest desk complete with a computer monitor. A twin daybed gives this space flexibility to act as an additional sleeping area or a second living room. To the east, a bedroom with a double-over-double bunk bed connects to a second bedroom with a twin-over-double bunk bed through a Jack and Jill bathroom with a double vanity and standard tub/shower combo. The final bedroom has a queen bed and direct access to a full bathroom with a step-in shower and constructed-in shower bench. This bathroom also provides hall access, and a laundry closet just beside offers a full-sized washer and dryer.

Upper and lower covered porches on both the front and back of the home mean that there are plenty of spots where guests can appreciate the sea air. The upper ocean-facing porch provides handsome vistas of the Atlantic and a variety of seating from which to savor them, including Adirondack chairs and a classic rocker. Other porches provide an outdoor couch or even a porch swing for calming! Below the home, an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is appreciated when hauling sand-covered babies or fur-babies back from the beach, and a classic wooden picnic table provides a shady area to dine outside.

Strategies to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To find the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Brunswick area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose the best rental home in the Brunswick area area:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Paws Awhile: Dog-Friendly Home with Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your family.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area destination you crave, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
