Packed full of character, this beach bungalow feels like a home away from home as it sits tucked away amongst the trees.

The living room is furnished with a appreciate chair and two recliners. This area also has a wooden China cabinet, which may transport some guests back to grandmother’s home. The flat screen T.V. rests on the matching wooden TV stand in the living room, where your family and friends can gather for leisure and fun. Along the vaulted ceiling hangs a ceiling fan to offer a cool breeze on hot, summer days.

To the left of the living room is the hallway, where you'll find the laundry closet on the right. The first guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed, comfortable for calming after a long day at the beach or strolling around the island. This room is ideal for reading a book or just to get away from it all.

The second guest bedroom is located down this same hallway to the left. This room has two twin-sized beds. This room has a vintage yet inviting feeling that welcomes you as soon as you walk in. This is the ideal area to wind down and listen to the natural world outside.

Across from the hallway of the second guest bedroom is a delightfully decorated full bathroom with a shower.

The dining area sits adjacent to the living room, with seating for seven. Feast on your favorite island dish all while planning your next adventure on the island.

The kitchen is beside the dining area. Equipped with a stainless-steel refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave, this traditional kitchen is made for a family gathering. With its granite countertops and light wooden cabinetry, this area suits guests well.

Aside from the dining area is the master bedroom with a king-sized bed. This primary bedroom has a flat-screen TV that sits on a TV stand to watch your favorite shows. Inside the bedroom is the master bathroom that has a shower. This section of the home seeks seclusion and calmness.

The fenced backyard makes this handsome home one of a kind. Charming trees surround you as you savor your family and friends on the outside patio.

Tips to get the best vacation property experience:

Get the best rental value:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Brunswick area vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and choosing yourvacation home:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Ruff Life: Bungalow with Easy Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
