Wake up to the charming sights the Intracoastal Waterway has to offer each morning by making your way to the dock with a warm cup of coffee to appreciate, or even a complete breakfast al fresco thanks to the outdoor dining set arranged there. Drink in the natural beauty as you watch shore birds, deer, fox, and even bald eagles from the privacy of your own backyard. Dockside Heaven offers a calming coastal getaway in a prime location just around the corner from local stores and eateries and a straight shot down the road to the beach, while also providing the opportunity to chill in the backyard or lazily sway in the hammock as you watch sailboats pass by throughout the day. Finest of all, this dog-friendly home accepts you to bring your furry best friend along for the adventure. And if you are looking to bring your boat on vacation the public boat ramp at NE 55th street is just three blocks away making it simple and convenient to hit the water.

The living area features wood beam ceilings and plenty of space to stretch out and spend time with the ones you appreciate. Richly colored rooms paired with the unique artwork scattered throughout the home make this a really a one-of-a-kind getaway. The gleaming deep wood and broad counterspace of the kitchen invite you to prepare favorite dishes or lay out the ultimate charcuterie board for lazy snacking. Gather around the huge flat screened T.V. to bond over a favorite movie in the living room, or retire to the lounge for intimate conversation or an engaging game nighttime.

Three bedrooms allow space for your entire group including one king bed, one queen and a queen futon. After a long day full of island adventures, relax with a relaxing soak in the sizable tub in the shared bath, or ease weary muscles in the calming steam shower located in the en-suite master bathroom.

Combining the peaceful pace of life on the waterway with the convenient location close to East Beach eateries and stores, this home really is a Dockside Paradise. See you soon at the dock!

Rental home tips:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. 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 high season.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Dockside Paradise: Artsy and Eclectic with Views of Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches 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. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
