Located on the peaceful west end, Oak Island Brightside offers a cavernous living room and eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms, two baths, and laundry facilities.

Recent updates include a new HVAC system, washer/dryer, and kitchen appliances.

There is a king-sized bed in the main bedroom, which is equipped with its own Roku TV and full bathroom. The second bedroom features a comfortable queen-sized bed, while the third bedroom is ideal for kids and teens with a single-over-double bunk bed and a trundle bed that pulls out from underneath.

The home is pet-friendly (with a two-dog limit) and pets are given simple access to the entirely-fenced backyard. The driveway offers ample parking, and doubles as a pickleball/badminton court (net, rackets etc are included). The side yard offers additional parking and a close by hose, convenient for boaters. The backyard also has a charcoal grille available for your use, and a second hose near the side entrance, helpful for rinsing off sand after a day at the beach.

Your stay also includes complimentary use of beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, a Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker, and a beach umbrella. The living room features a Roku TV with local TV channels and sign-in access to your Netflix, Prime, Disney, and Hulu accounts. Music fans will adore the Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker, with AM/FM radio and the ability to sync with both iPhone and Android. The home also offers splendid WIFI. You'll access the home by entering your unique door code into the intelligent lock, while a single external security camera provides additional security.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Wrightsville Beach vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Wrightsville Beach rental home & When to go:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To find the best value, try changing your family's Wrightsville Beach vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the best vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Fully Fenced For Our Furry Friends! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or applied to your invoice.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach beach you crave, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, 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 rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
