The deep front porch welcomes you to linger and listen to the sound of breaking waves.

Inside, the entryway of this reverse-floorplan reveals some of its bespoke details-including hardwoods and wainscoting. To the right, a light-filled corner Queen suite with desk proffers a huge ensuite bath with a walk-in closet, water closet, jetted tub, tiled shower and double granite vanity.

The comfortable conversation area is anchored by a gas fireplace and tenders naturescapes on all sides plus egress to both second-story screened porches. Nearby the generous dining space is furnished with a chic dining set. Savor meals and outdoor vistas from here or by dining alfresco on the home’s dining deck-located between the main home and the crofter. The chefs’ kitchen delights with stainless appliances, granite counters, a double sink, breakfast bar, a designer backsplash and beautiful bespoke cabinets. This floor also homes the laundry.

For those preferring more privacy, the home’s crofter-just down the boardwalk and adjacent to the deck-extends a vaulted Queen suite with serene treetop vistas, a full bath with a pedestal tub and its own private balcony. Conveniently located, close to the beach, the Shoals Club and the Conservancy, equipped with handsome bicycles for tooling around the Island, and providing access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, The Hermitage is ideal for your Island vacation hideaway!

How to find the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. 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 the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Maritime Forest retreat close to East Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If not, email the property manager before booking your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
