Kick off your shoes, relax, breathe in the ocean air, you're on beach time now. You have arrived at your Ideal Little Beach Cottage located in the woodland area of Oak Island, where the sound of the ocean and birds compete for your attention.

You're welcomed at the front door with a pair of North Carolina rocking chairs and the sound of the wind chimes blowing in the breeze. Step inside to your new home away from home. You will find an open floor plan and plenty of light. The simple but comfortable living room couches invite you to sit down for a while. Unwind under the cooling breezes of the palm-bladed ceiling fan. Pick up and read one of the books on the North Carolina coast.

In the spotless kitchen, you will find refreshed lighting and a ceramic tiled floor. The cupboards are packed full of dishes, cookware, modest appliances, and glasses. As we adore to prepare you will find everything is supplied for you to prepare delicious vacation meals. Alternatively, a list of my favorite eateries and menus are supplied if you decide to not prepare during your stay.

Open the sliding glass doors and walk into the pleasing screened porch. It's the ideal place to sip your morning coffee, appreciate an evening drink or read a book curled up on a chair on a rainy day, listening to the storm outside. The porch offers vistas of the sand garden and planted flowering beds with handmade ceramic sculptures. On the concrete patio, you will find a dining table to savor meals al fresco. An outdoor shower fed from the garden hose is available for a fast rinse of the ocean water.

Back inside walk down the hallway where the laundry room sits behind folding doors. The master bedroom is light and airy with modern design furnishings. The queen-size bed is cozy and ensures a restful nighttime's sleep, dreaming of waves and sand. Off the bedroom is the master bath; it is well lit, clean, and fresh. Two simple twin beds are in the second bedroom with wall-mounted reading lights overhead. A modern maple dresser and mirror complete the room. The main bathroom is simple and clean with seashells as the motif. All linens are included for your stay including two sets of bath towels for each guest. Cleaning supplies are also included for your use.

Now it's time to head to the real star of the island, the beach. It's a short distance by bicycle or car with over 60 public beach access points. No matter the time of the year your time spent at the beach will be memorable.

Tips for getting the best Wrightsville Beach rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Perfect Little Beach Cottage for your stay on Oak Island has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out 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 fantastic vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
