Summer Kayak & SUP Tours

School is almost out and summer is just around the corner...that means its time for the beach for many of you!

Since day one, our goal at paddleOKI and now as the same great team at Mr. Beach Rentals has been to make outdoor recreation accessible for everyone on Oak Island. We started by delivering kayaks and standup paddle boards right to the water's edge at the lowest possible price making it easy and affordable to experience the island the way so many locals love to. We only did rentals back then but we learned over the years that many people just do not want to go by themselves. So we started offering kayak and SUP tours a few years ago to make sure that everyone had an opportunity to enjoy an Oak Island sunset from the peaceful viewpoint on the waters near Sheep Island.

The feedback from our tours was outstanding so we are happy to announce today the expansion of our tour schedule with new launch sites and more awesome guides with a variety of unique skill sets.

Guided standup paddle board and kayak tours will now start from 39th Place West and paddle into Montgomery Slough. Starting at 10:30AM with beautiful views of the marsh, this tour is one of the best places to kayak or paddle board on Oak Island! Other mid-morning tour locations include Sheep Island, 9th Place East on Little Davis Creek and SE 9th St. on Davis Creek, all with a unique experience to enjoy. Mr. Beach Rentals will continue our famous sunset tour on the west end at the point, paddling around Sheep Island as well as our Davis Creek tour which takes precise planning to experience in its entirety!

Mr. Beach Rentals is also excited to offer private tours and lessons for the first time! Our goal is to leave you with wonderful memories and the knowledge and confidence for you to make outdoor adventures part of your regular routine. Whether learning how to kayak or how to standup paddle board, we are more than excited to teach you everything you need to know.

With our revamped tour schedule and highly rated rental service, we hope to serve you when near Oak Island, Southport, Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach, NC. Call (910) 250-9960 to schedule a tour or book online by viewing our schedule on this site.

Delivering the Fun: Your Premier Beach Rental Service in Southeast NC

Mr. Beach Rentals didn't start in a boardroom; it started with a problem on a sunny day in Oak Island.

In 2013, our founder, Nathan Reich, was visiting his grandfather on OKI. He wanted to try standup paddleboarding but couldn't find anywhere on the island to rent one. Realizing he wasn't the only one looking for fun ways to explore the water, he decided to be the answer to that problem.

Founded in 2014 under the original name paddleOKI, we started with a simple mission: renting kayaks and paddle boards to the Oak Island community.

Growth and the "Mr. Beach" Rebrand

What started as delivering a few boats quickly evolved. Focused on making the rental process easier and more efficient, paddleOKI grew rapidly. We expanded from just watersports to renting bicycles, beach umbrellas, chairs, grills, and baby gear.

Our customers loved the transparent low pricing and the easy online booking system. Through word of mouth, demand grew beyond Oak Island.

In 2017, realizing we were serving the entire region, we officially changed our name to Mr. Beach Rentals. This change reflected our expanded delivery area, which now includes Holden Beach, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Southport, and Caswell Beach, in addition to our home base of Oak Island.

Meet Nathan Reich: The "Bike Man"

Nathan grew up in Burlington, NC, but his heart was always at the coast, spending summers in Oak Island working with his grandfather.

A 2009 graduate of NC State University with a degree in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management, Nathan brought professional industry experience to the local beach scene. Having worked for some of the largest travel and entertainment companies in the world, he knew how to build a service that put the customer first.

In the early days, locals often referred to him simply as the "kayak guy" or the "bike man" as he ran deliveries personally. He embraced those nicknames, building the company on a foundation of hard work and personal connection.

Our Commitment to You

Since day one, Mr. Beach Rentals has been dedicated to "Delivering the Fun." Whether you are a long-time customer who remembers the paddleOKI days or a new visitor to Brunswick County, our promise remains the same: Outstanding service, high-quality equipment, and competitive pricing.

We look forward to showcasing the best that Brunswick County, North Carolina has to offer for many summers to come!
