Or rent the available golf cart for an additional fee of $600 per stay.

The welcoming front porch offers a variety of outdoor furnishings and a shaded respite for peaceful conversation as you watch the world go by. A wooden gate at the top of the steps means babies and fur-babies alike can join you safely as you savor the island breeze. Or relax on the screened back porch instead as you watch the sunlight filter through Oak Island's famed tress and listen to the kids splash happily in the pool below.

Gather together on the couch and loveseat to stream a favorite movie on the wall-mounted Roku TV, or curl up in one of the arm chairs with a good book instead. The dining table seats four, and an adjacent side bar table offers three barstools as well. The kitchen offers plenty of counter space for preparing meals or storing snacks for simple access. Everything you need to prepare meals is supplied, from appliances to cookware.

The master suite is furnished with a king bed and a TV for personal entertainment. The modest desk offers a spot to getaway with your laptop if work can't be entirely avoided during your stay. The attached private bathroom is equipped with a double vanity and a step-in shower stall with a constructed-in seat. The remaining two sleeping spaces on this level share access to a hall bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo. The second bedroom contains another king bed and TV, while the third bedroom offers a classic twin-over-twin bunk bed and an additional twin bed, along with another workstation and desk chair.

Downstairs, a separate suite is reached via a dedicated ground floor entrance (note there is no internal staircase connecting the upper and lower floor). Parlor on the sleeper couch as the game plays on the huge TV, which pulls out to a queen bed if needed. A modest kitchen table for two offers space to eat breakfast quietly before venturing upstairs, and the open sleeping alcove just beyond provides a twin bed. The attached half bathroom also provides external access to the pool area and a convenient enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water.

Catch some rays from the pool deck on the supplied lounge chairs, or dine al fresco in the shade of the home at one of two tables seating a total of eight guests. Entering the above-ground pool is a breeze thanks to the wide wooden steps and a constructed-in ledge surrounding two sides. On the other side of the pool gate, you'll find plenty of driveaway parking and some covered parking space. You can even pull into the grass to the left of the driveway if you need more space!

When you're ready to hit the sand, grab the included beach chairs and travel less than a mile by foot, car, golf cart or even bicycle (two of the latter are available for your use so you can discover the island at your own pace). And when you've finally tired of the sand and surf, head back for some After Dune Delight and memories that will last a lifetime!

Please note that the pictured attached garage is not available for guest use.

Tricks and tips to get the very best Wrightsville Beach vacation rental experience:

Get the best value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserve your Wrightsville Beach vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

• First, have your group commit to dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. After Dune Delight: Dog-Friendly, Private Pool, Optional Golf Cart has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
