Pet friendly with a fenced back yard, you are just steps away from the beach, Intracoastal waterway for kayak launches and the NEW Lonerider Brewery & Restaurant.

Before we talk about the home, let’s first discuss the location. There is a reason that this home is ideal for guests who want luxury vacation living. Located at the ideal point between the ocean and the sound, you’ll have ocean or sound vistas from every room. As Oak Island faces south, you’ll experience striking sunrises over the ocean, and sunsets over the sound. This is the area you’ll want to visit to get the most out of your vacation. Leave your car in the driveway and walk or bicycle to the ocean where fishing, swimming, shelling and basking in the warm sun will have you casual in no time. Or leave from the back of the home and visit the sound, where smaller waves and currents provide the ideal spot for exploring tidal pools, looking for sand dollars and starfish, crabbing or kayaking. The Lonerider, Oak Island’s 5-star rated brewery and restaurant, is just steps away from the home.

Now on to the charming home. Sawyer’s Sandcastle as mentioned is located between the ocean and the sound. It features 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, with impressive vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and huge heated (additional charge), private pool that is ideal for sizable families or groups. You will appreciate the cavernous, peaceful and uncrowded beach directly in front of the home and the spectacular vistas from the two elevated balconies.

The top floor of the home features a master bedroom complete with tray ceilings, king sized bath. The master shower also features a relaxing “rain shower” shower head. The master bedroom windows provide a stunning view of the sounds and just outside the door is the balcony overlooking both the pool and the sound.

Also on this floor is a huge gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, recessed as well as chandelier lighting, a enormous dining table and a center island with additional seating. The open floor plan accepts meals to be prepared while conversing with the family and friends gathered in the living room.

Downstairs, you’ll find four more bedrooms and two additional baths. 3 bedrooms include queen sized beds, while the fourth is ideal for the kids. This room has a bunk bed (full on bottom, twin on top), and a single bed. All bedrooms have Roku TV's. Log into your own apps or savor basic cable as well.

Outside, you’ll be sure to enjoy the large pool (which can be heated upon request at an additional charge in the cooler months), putting green to practice those putt-putt skills, fenced back yard ideal for keeping the family pet at home, and a bigger outdoor shower. We also have a charcoal grille. For time on the beach, we have beach chairs, games and the fashionable Shibumi Shade available for your convenience. With plenty of outdoor seating all around, the entire family can enjoy being outdoors, talking, laughing, swimming and making memories that will last for a lifetime.

Feel complimentary to ride the opulent golf cart around the island and take in the handsome sunrise and sunset vistas from the Point. Oak Island accepts for the golf cart to be utilized where the speed limit is 35 MPH.

Tips for getting the best Brunswick area rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Golf Cart has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
