Healing Waters. When you book a hideaway, that is what you are looking for. Somewhere to relax & have fun. In this oceanfront bungalow one of your favorite spots may be sitting on the deck, overlooking the ocean & feeling the effect of those Healing Waters. Smell that fresh salt air. Feel those salubrious breezes. Put your toes in the warm sand. Take a dip into the ocean, the Healing Waters. In the heat of the day, relax on the covered deck & take in all the beauty that being oceanfront affords. Oak Island is unusual on the East Coast in that we have a South facing beach. Bring your camera & coffee to watch the sun rise over the water & in the evening pour a glass of wine to watch the sun set, also over the water. As the sun disappears, the Edison lights on the deck create a calming mood.

There is a private walkway leading you over the 1st set of dunes to a path through the 2nd set of dunes to the shoreline. As you head down the walkway you may want to bring the binoculars from inside & sit on the bench to watch for dolphins playing in the water ahead of you. Zoom in to see the pelicans fly in formation & the gulls as they “laugh” at you. Grab the supplied 6 chairs & beach toys as you head to savor the warmth of the sun & fun in the sand & water.

Unload your vacation supplies under the covered parking & head right up the stairs leading to the memories about to be made. Staying oceanfront also saves you from searching for parking at the beach accesses & during the season, having to pay to park once you find that space.

Enter to find an open concept kitchen, dining & living areas. The bright white, vaulted ceilings reflect the light from the windows flanking the back of the living area with vistas of the ocean. What an airy, relaxing vibe you feel already. In the comfortable living area, you can watch TV, play games, or relive the fun of the day by the ambiance of electric fireplace any time of year. Dividing the kitchen & living areas is an island with plenty of storage & seating for 6. You may choose alfresco dining at the picnic table on the deck. Preparing meals in this open concept kitchen accepts for everybody to be together but appreciating their own activities. Modest appliances include a drip/k-cup coffee maker, tea kettle, blender, toaster & stock pot to make those low county seafood boils.

To the left of the dining island is the stacked washer/dryer laundry center. Save room for souvenirs by packing lighter because you can wash your vacation clothes, swimsuits & towels as you use them. An iron & board are supplied to look sharp & crisp for those dinners out. The Primary Bedroom, with ensuite, entry is directly off the dining area. This Primary with queen includes an ensuite with shower & hair dryer. Bedroom #2 has 2 twin beds, TV & a desk for mobile work or school. Bedroom #3 sleeps 3 in a full & twin bed; TV. The hall bath has a tub/shower combination with hair dryer & is shared by bedrooms 2 & 3.

Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to book:

• To book the most suitable rental within budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Brunswick area attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Amazing Dog Friendly Oceanfront 3 Bedroom Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property owner before booking the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area attraction you are enamored with, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges applied to your agreement.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct 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 comments.
