As you exit the stairs, a second living area complete with a kitchenette is located to the left and provides access to the lower deck and pool area beyond. A modest exercise room is supplied off this space, complete with a Peloton bicycle, hand weights and yoga mats, a barre and a full-length mirror, along with your choice of the supplied TV or the ocean vistas beyond for motivation. The laundry room is just down the hall, featuring a full-sized stackable washer and dryer.

Venturing outside, you’ll find a gas grille available for outdoor entertaining, and you can’t beat the view from the pool and hot tub. Mostly shaded, there are two poolside lounge chairs and additional seating along with a sturdy wooden picnic table here. Your private wooden boardwalk stretches over the wetlands to the sand beyond, ensuring beach access is a breeze. The porches on both levels are furnished with ceiling fans for days when the sea breeze is a bit less enthusiastic. On the upper-level covered porch, you’ll find a comfortable outdoor couch facing the outdoor gas fireplace, along with additional seating facing the waves beyond.

The peaceful, private lot is centrally located on Oak Island, and is only a fast walk to Food Lion, eateries, mini golf and shopping. Located on a side street with extremely limited public beach access parking spaces, you’ll find this is one of the most uncrowded sections of Oak Island’s white sand beach even during the peak of the summer season.

Strategies for getting the perfect rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation.

Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. 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.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
