Meaning an idyllic, exotic, or opulent place, your island getaway awaits! Welcome to Xanadu.

Offering an simple walk to the beach and Middleton Park, this newly constructed, 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is **Dog-friendly and offers the amenities of home in a comfortable layout for you and your family to appreciate your Oak Island hideaway.

This modern home offers a huge open space for playing games, watching movies, or planning your beach day. You can savor your morning coffee or an afternoon siesta on the screened-in porch while the kids and pups play in the private fenced-in back yard.
This home is in the beautiful Tranquil Harbor area of Oak Island, located in a peaceful spot where you can often hear the soft sounds of the surf off in the distance at high tide.

This charming location offers an painless walk (0.4 mile / 8-10 mins.) from the Oak Island Cabanas with the only public bathroom on Island and of course the beach. The home is just 0.2 mile to Middleton Park. There is a splash park for the kids, a enormous playground area, ice cream and doughnut stores, pizza and sandwiches, eateries, and Publix grocery store.

At the other end of the street, an 8 - 10 min. walk takes you to a boat launch and the Long Beach Paddle Company, where you can rent kayaks and paddle boards or book a tour. Oak Island Fishing Pier is a short drive away, and you are only a ten min. drive from the public Oak Island Par 3 Golf course in Southport.

The kitchen is well-equipped (just like home) with a sizable refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, and blender. The roomy center island is great for food preparation, a nice breakfast, buffet space, or a gathering spot for planning your adventures. The living area’s open layout accepts everybody to have room to spread out while still being together.

The wrap-around screened porch is steps away from the outdoor shower and is located just off the kitchen. All bedrooms will have freshly laundered linens in high season (May15 - September 15th) in bundles on your beds. Bathroom and kitchen towels will also be supplied during high season. Note that bath towels cannot be used at the beach, so please bring your own beach towels, or if you prefer, they can be rented separately and delivered to you. Since we are Dog friendly, we would ask that you bring dog blankets for your pups to use if they savor snuggling with you on the furnishings. There is also a raised dog bed so your dog has its own spot to relax and cool off. Each guest gets a welcome bag including starter supplies for your stay: hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, coffee and tea supplies, shampoo/conditioner, and body wash. The home also includes reliable fiber internet, a washer and dryer, self-check-in keypad, a beach wagon, and two adult bicycles
All the bedrooms have memory foam beds and intelligent TVs with fast internet (fiber). The primary suite has a king bed and bath with a walk-in shower and convenient double sinks. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a full bath in the hallway separating it from the third bedroom with two twin beds.

There are parking spots in the driveway with enough space to accommodate three cars.
Rented beach items and bicycles should be stored in the fenced backyard or garage.
***Dog Fees are $140.00 for up to 2 family pets. No upsized dogs like Bullmastiffs. No guard dogs like Belgian Malinois, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, or Doberman.

Tips to get the perfect Wrightsville Beach rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Xanadu Oak Island - New Dog-Friendly Home in the Middle of it All has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is right for your family.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
