The clean lines of modern architectural design meet the glorious natural beauty of the shoreline at Sandbox, a impressive luxury home that finished construction in early summer of 2024. Soak in unobstructed ocean vistas from the upper and lower decks or soak away your cares in the private pool and hot tub. Meticulously designed and thoughtfully laid out, you’ll find no detail overlooked at this spectacular property.

On the upper floor, the light neutral tones of the main living space soothe the senses and draw the eye to the striking horizon beyond. A curved sectional provides plenty of seating to gather and watch the big game on the wall-mounted Intelligent TV or savor the peaceful glow of the flames from the gas fireplace. The handsome but sturdy dining table waits for meals or family game nights and seats 10. There are seats for an additional three guests at the adjoining kitchen island. Featuring plenty of counter and storage space, the gourmet kitchen is furnished with high-end appliances and all the equipment you need to whip up your favorite recipes or local fresh seafood. A half bath is located down the hall for your convenience.

Each bedroom features its own private en-suite full bath and a flat screen TV for personal entertainment. Just off the kitchen, you’ll find the bunk room, with two twin-over-double bunk beds, and an attached bath with a standard tub/shower combo and double vanity. As you move down the hallway, the next bedroom is furnished with a king bed and the bathroom features a charming tile step-in shower. At the end of the hall, a modest office space is furnished with a wall-to-wall desk, keyboard, mouse and monitor for those who still have to keep up with work or school. Across the way, a spa-like master suite contains a king size bed and direct porch access. The attached bath is furnished with a double vanity and an broad step-in tile shower that also contains a separate soaking tub within the shower enclosure.

The exact same bedroom and bathroom arrangement is echoed on the lower floor, with another bunk room and two more king bedrooms available on that level. 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 included 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. Whether you’re getting away with family, friends or a little bit of both, you can build the vacation of your dreams at Sandbox!

How to get the best Brunswick area vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Brunswick area rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Sandbox: Modern Home with Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Direct Beach Access has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
