Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area comfortably seats six and features amazing 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.

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.

Tricks and tips for getting the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To get the largest rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Wrightsville Beach attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to select the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 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 Wrightsville Beach rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
