Hazel- 3 Bedroom 2.5 Bath House, 2nd Row with Ocean Vistas, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 6

****Pool heating available October - April for an additional fee - see details below!****

This cozy and comfortable 2nd row beach bungalow is not only ideally located for your beach vacation with the public beach access just 3 homes down and Ocean Crest Pier right close by, but also comes with a lot of striking history! The home was named Hazel for her exceptional strength and might during Hurricane Hazel which devastated Oak Island in 1954. This home was one of only five homes on the entire island that survived the storm. The original solid cinder blocks with which the home was constructed in 1953 are still intact. Hazel was completely & lovingly restored in 2020, offering you all the modern amenities you are used to in a nice and cozy space to call home while you relax at the beach. You will want for nothing here! An broad screened porch, in-ground pool (with pool heating available for an additional fee), and enclosed outdoor shower were also added during the 2020 renovations. You are sure to appreciate the privacy fence surrounding the pool where you can lounge to your heart's content without all the sand. From the pool area you can access the lower level of the home where you will find a half bathroom and ping-pong table. After gathering your fresh catch from a calming day of fishing out on the beach or at the Ocean Crest Pier, you can come back and grille out the best seafood you've ever tasted! Sit back on the comfortable screened porch and savor your morning coffee or an evening glass of good old southern sweet tea to witness the most spectacular Oak Island sunrises and sunsets paint the sky. Plenty of seating for everybody! If you feel like getting out, there’s tons to do and see on and around Oak Island. Don’t forget the Summer Concerts at Middleton Park, just a few mins.’ drive away. As you experience Hazel, you are sure to find yourself being strengthened and renewed from the storms of everyday life, just as this mighty home, aptly named, encourages us all to be strong and keep living life to the fullest.

Strategies for getting the perfect rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Summertime is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. 3BR\/2.5BA House - 2nd Row, Ocean Views, POOL, DOG FRIENDLY, Sleeps 6 has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up 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 haven't leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
