Recently crowned the winner of HGTV's 2024 Battle on the Beach, this professionally remodeled 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom oceanfront vacation rental on Oak Island is a true coastal heaven! A Shore Place transcends the typical beach bungalow, offering a elegant getaway that handsomely fuses Hamptons-style elegance with coastal appeal and unmatched comfort. Located in the coveted Kings Lynn area of West Beach, you're only a half-mile to The Point and a leisurely walk away from the trendy Lonerider Brew Pub Restaurant.

As you step inside, you're instantly greeted by an broad wall of windows framing sweeping ocean vistas that fill the space with natural light. The open floor plan accentuates the striking exposed beam vaulted ceilings, while the real showstopper is the one-of-a-kind seashell fireplace crafted with shells collected from Oak Island's beach! After a day of coastal adventures, the two full-size couches invite you to relax and appreciate the view. For that additional touch of ambiance, switch on the electric fireplace with its captivating multicolored flames that add a comfortable glow to your evening. When it's time for a movie, the huge flat-screen TV provides 80+ channels on YouTube TV and complimentary Netflix — which is available on every TV throughout the home. The half bath is hidden off of the living space through a secret door, will you be able to find it?

The gourmet kitchen has completely transformed into a chef's paradise with opulent multicolored stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient pot filler above the brand-new electric stove. Gather around the cavernous Fantasy Brown quartzite kitchen island that seats four for morning coffee and evening drinks. A entirely equipped coffee station awaits with both a drip coffee maker and a Keurig to cater to everybody's preferences. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area comfortably seats six and features exceptional ocean vistas to elevate every meal.

Outside, the kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly onto the covered deck, where matching granite countertops, an outdoor sink, and a comfortable table for four make alfresco dining a delight. This covered space opens to an expansive oceanfront deck with five cozy rocking chairs, ideal for unwinding to the relaxing sound of the waves. Just beyond, a roomy constructed-in U-shaped seating area surrounds a gas fire pit, setting the scene for calming during the day and storytelling under the stars in the evening.

The primary king is a true getaway, complete with bespoke artwork, a serene blue-painted ceiling, and a wall-mounted TV. Its ensuite bath exudes spa-like luxury with a double vanity, elegant lozenge-shaped mirrors, a walk-in shower with a rain showerhead, and a soaking tub for ultimate relaxation. The second king suite features constructed-in cabinets, a wall-mounted TV, and an ensuite bath with a enormous tiled shower, toilet and double vanity, bringing both comfort and style.

A impressive queen bedroom offers a peaceful space with its own wall-mounted TV, ideal for winding down after a beach day. Young guests will adore the enchanting "Castle Bunkroom," with its two constructed-in double beds featuring a castle facade and playful color-changing nautical lights that create a whimsical hideaway. These rooms have simple access to a elegantly designed full hall bath with a tub/shower combination.

For post-beach refreshment, there's an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water and an open cold-water shower at beach level. Fire up the gas grille for family cookouts, and securely stow your beach essentials, fishing gear, and bicycles in the lockable storage area under the home. Here, you can savor more amenities than we can list, including wireless internet for staying connected and a laundry closet equipped with a washing machine and dryer.

How to book the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-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 information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the best vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your group select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. \"A SHORE PLACE\" HGTV Winner: Oceanfront Hamptons-Style Retreat in Kings Lynn has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your family.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your visit, note any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
