The home features a NEW 40 foot dock, which provides power outlet and filtered freshwater supply for boating convenience. We even provide crabpots for those inclined to catch Carolina blue crab and the occasional stone crab. Very good site for casting right off our dock. After the devastating hurricane of September 2018, we rebuilt the dock entirely with 316-grade stainless steel fasteners,fittings and cleats, all new pilings and decking, a 4-ft width aluminum ramp, and a 40x10 foot floating dock.

The master suite has its own deck, and en suite private bathroom with a giant shower and coupled showerheads.

Each bedroom is customized but harmonious with the cheerful color scheme.

On the lower level, the full-width patio features Adirondack chairs and a hammock for appreciating the waterfront vista, as well as an outdoor grille to broil your fresh catch to perfection.

Strategies to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• In the Brunswick area area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guides which will include money-saving offers, 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 visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

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

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Private dock on the Waterfront “Maison Blanc\": ICW\/Figure 8: sleeps 10 has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during 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 helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• 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 excellent reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
