7 Happy Clams - This gorgeous home is the answer to all your cravings for tranquility, peaceful, serenity and happiness. Located in the peaceful wooded area of Oak Island, but still very close to the beach and all the incredible activities and great eateries the island and surrounding towns have to offer. Surrounded by handsome trees, you can start your mornings out slow on the calming screened porch with your favorite cup of coffee as the ocean breezes rustle gently through the trees and breathe in the healing salt air. Inside, you will continue to feel a sense of calm as you take in the soothingly decorated beach theme throughout the home. With the open concept floor plan, everybody can be together, even as the chef in the family whips up a special meal. The master bedroom suite is very cavernous and offers a whirlpool tub in the private bath so you can relax your cares away. There are also two guest bedrooms - one a bunk bedroom, ideal for the kids - the other offering a queen and a twin single, ideal for a modest family or teenagers. Don' forget about the huge fenced backyard where you can grille out your catch from a day of fishing at the beach or visit one of the local fresh seafood markets to grab your dinner! Appreciate rocking away on the two-seater swing under the home as the kids play, catching up on old times with family and friends. Everything here is so peaceful and impressive that you will be "happy clams" wanting to come back year after year!

Strategies to get the perfect Oak Island rental home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• To get the largest vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Wrightsville Beach attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which 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 medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local 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 local information, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing your prefectrental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 3 BR\/2 BA Home, Minutes to Beach, Pool with Heating, Sleeps 9 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach beach you long to visit, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
