Offering an painless 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 savor your Oak Island hideaway.

This modern home offers a enormous 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 simple 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 sizable 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 huge refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, and blender. The cavernous 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 appreciate 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.

Tricks and tips to get the best rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Wrightsville Beach vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property 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.

Planning and picking the perfectrental:

• To start, have your family commit to the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Xanadu Oak Island - New Dog-Friendly Home in the Middle of it All has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
