You’ll see it on the way in and out, whether you travel by car, golf cart, bicycle, or scooter! The road is narrow and curvy, and relaxing and peaceful. You’ll wish all roads were this handsome!

We are within a mile of local eateries and grocery stores, and other attractions, but it feels like you are miles away from civilization.

GUEST ACCESS:
You'll have enough parking for up to 3 cars to fit comfortably in the natural driveway. The road coming into the property is recognized as being one of the most beautiful roads in North Carolina, with a canopy of live oak trees dripping with Spanish Moss. Gause Landing is the site of the famed "George Washington Tree," where our nation's first president visited and vacationed in the 1790s, and you'll drive by it on the way in and out. The road is narrow and curvy, and you'll wish all roads were that beautiful.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Yes, we advertise that this home "Sleeps 8," and it definitely can and does. 2 queen beds, 1 full bed, and a sleeper couch. However, please keep in mind that the home has one bathroom, and it's only about 1179 square feet total. This home is a "bungalow," and if 8 fully grown adults showed up for a week with 8 fully grown suitcases, then it will definitely be a little cramped. The ideal amount of humans for this size space is probably 6, but it will fit 8, especially if some of those people are not fully grown adults. Pet costs are $75 per dog, and if your OTA does not support multiple pet costs, we will collect it separately before check-in. NO PUPPIES, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Malamutes, and more breeds- PLEASE REVIEW THE FULL LIST OF RESTRICTED BREEDS BEFORE BOOKING.

After booking, we will send you a Red Carpet Rental Agreement to sign to complete your reservation. It's a no-nonsense Agreement that protects the guest, host, and the property, and is allowed within the policies and guidelines of all travel booking platforms. The Agreement will come to you as a link, and we require all guests to sign it to rent any of our properties, no matter where the reservation came from. You will have to upload a copy of your government-issued ID to complete your reservation. This property requires a $300.00 SECURITY DEPOSIT. It will be collected as a credit card hold separately by the property prior to your arrival or at check-in.

"Pack 'n Play" (Travel Crib) available by request, and must be requested at least 48 hours prior to check-in.

**SECURITY CAMERAS DISCLOSURE: For your safety and security, this property—and all properties offered by Red Carpet Furnished Homes—use exterior cameras to monitor outdoor areas, including yards, parking, and entrances. These cameras must remain on at all times and should not be adjusted or deactivated.**

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

Finding your perfect rental home:

  • Summer is the most expensive season in Ocean Isle Beach. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
  • Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
  • Property management companies often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
  • Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

  • Choose your vacation dates and budget.
  • Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Dolphin Cove - Dazzling Waterfront Cottage w\/ Dock has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
  • Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
  • Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
  • Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or applied to your agreement.

Tips for a great stay:

  • Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
  • Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
  • Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
  • Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
  • Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
