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.

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

When to book & When to go:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Wrightsville Beach attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the best rental in Oak Island:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Fully Fenced For Our Furry Friends! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach beach you simply love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
