Recently crowned the winner of HGTV's 2024 Battle on the Beach, this professionally refreshed 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 gorgeous getaway that elegantly 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 savor 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 sizable 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 extravagant multicolored stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient pot filler above the brand-new electric stove. Gather around the roomy Fantasy Brown quartzite kitchen island that seats four for morning coffee and evening beverages. A completely 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 impressive 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 cavernous 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, charming 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 handsomely 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 appreciate more amenities than we can list, including wireless internet for staying connected and a laundry closet equipped with a washing machine and dryer.

Getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• To book the best vacation home for your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Carolina Beach attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the best rental home in Oak Island:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. \"A SHORE PLACE\" HGTV Winner: Oceanfront Hamptons-Style Retreat in Kings Lynn has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 may be applied to your agreement.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
