If your ideal beach rental looks like it jumped right off of the page of a Southern Living magazine, then we have just the place for you to Let The Fin Begin! Located on the canal with broad vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway with a private boat dock, this intimate home is bright and flooded with natural light.

The living room provides plenty of comfortable seating to watch a favorite movie together on the enormous flatscreen TV, or savor a game of cards around the coffee table while soaking in the exceptional view instead! You’ll find a roomy dining table that comfortably seats eight located between the living room and kitchen, with bar stools available at the kitchen counter for additional seating. The modern kitchen is completely equipped for preparing your favorite meals or fresh catch of the day.

Just off the living room you’ll find the master bedroom with attached bath and direct deck access with a view. Off of the kitchen are two more bedrooms that share a full bathroom with hall access. All bedrooms on the upper floor have queen beds.

On the ground level, you’ll find the garage. This area has its own private entrance and is not directly accessible from the upper floor.

The front and back porches provide plenty of outdoor seating. Kids and adults alike can appreciate the grassy backyard. While the boat dock is available for guest use, the attached boat lift is not an available luxury. As an added additional, the public boat ramp is less than a block away, as is the Lonerider Restaurant and Bar.

Guests with allergies should note that dogs are occasionally present during an owner or owner guest stay.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Let The Fin Begin: Cozy Waterway Cottage with Breathtaking Views and Boat Dock has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach beach you are crazy about, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• 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 websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
