Brunswick Beaches Vacation Guide

Travel Tips for Oak Island, Ocean Isle, Sunset Beach & Holden Beach

You have secured the perfect vacation home on Oak Island. You have your check-in date, and you are counting down the days. But have you thought about what happens when you actually hit the sand?


Many visitors arrive only to realize their rental house doesn't have bikes, the "provided" beach chairs are broken, and the grill is a rusty mess.


That is where Mr. Beach Rentals comes in.


A dream vacation requires more than just a place to sleep—it requires the right gear. We specialize in outfitting your trip with everything you need to play. Whether you need bikes to cruise the coast, kayaks for the canal, or chairs for the sand, we deliver the fun directly to your doorstep.


1. Beach Gear & Luxury Setup Services


Don't spend your first hour on the island shopping for cheap chairs at the grocery store. We deliver high-quality, professional-grade equipment directly to your door.



2. Bicycles & Electric Cruisers


Oak Island is famous for being bike-friendly. With miles of flat roads and designated paths along Beach Drive and the scenic West End, biking is the best way to get around.



3. Kayaks & Watersports


You can't come to Oak Island without getting on the water. Whether you want to surf the ocean waves or paddle the calm marshes, we have the fleet for you.



4. Home Essentials: Grills & Baby Gear


Sometimes the "fully stocked" kitchen in a vacation rental is anything but. Or maybe you find it frustrating to plan a family cookout only to find a rusted, dirty charcoal grill in the backyard


  • Grilling: We deliver clean, 4-Burner Gas Grills with a full propane tank included, so you can host the ultimate seafood boil or burger night. Add on grill tools for a complete grilling experience!

  • Baby Gear: Save trunk space by renting Pack-N-Plays and other essentials from us.


5. Accessible Beach Wheelchairs


We believe the beach should be accessible to everyone. If a member of your party has mobility challenges, standard thin-tired wheelchairs won't work on the sand.


  • The Solution: We rent specialized Beach Wheelchairs with large balloon tires that glide over soft or hard sand. We offer Free Delivery to Oak Island and Caswell Beach to ensure the whole family can sit by the water together.


Why Choose Mr. Beach Rentals on Oak Island?


We are locals. We know the tides, the winds, and the best hidden spots on the island. When you book with us, you aren't just renting an item; you are upgrading your entire vacation.

If you are looking for the most peaceful, beginner-friendly paddling experience on Oak Island, the Davis Canal (also known as Davis Creek) is the answer.


Stretching through the heart of the island, this protected waterway offers miles of glass-smooth water, shielded from the wind and ocean waves. It is a hidden world of salt marshes, quiet docks, and incredible wildlife.


But how do you get a kayak there if you don't have a truck?


The Easiest Way to Paddle: Our "Meet-Up" Service


We know that hauling gear is a hassle. That is why we offer our exclusive "Meet-Up" Rental Service specifically for the Davis Canal.


Instead of delivering to your house and leaving you to figure out transport, we meet you right at the water.

  • The Location: We meet customers at the Oak Island Recreation Center Dock (119 SE 31st St). There is easy parking and a dedicated kayak launch that makes getting in and out dry and simple.

  • The Schedule: We offer 2-hour rental blocks throughout the year.

  • The Gear: Your kayaks or SUPs will be waiting for you when you arrive. We give you directions for entering off the kayak launch dock, and off you go!


Why We Love the Davis Canal


While the ocean is fun, the Davis Canal offers a completely different side of Oak Island.

  • No Boat Wake: The canal is a "No Wake Zone" and is generally too shallow for large powerboats, meaning you don’t have to worry about waves rocking you.

  • Wildlife: It is a birdwatcher's paradise. Expect to see Great Blue Herons, Egrets, Kingfishers, and plenty of crabs sunning themselves on the banks.

  • Beginner Friendly: Because the water is so calm, this is the #1 spot we recommend for first-time kayakers.
