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 appreciate to prepare you will find everything is included 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 primary 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 primary bedroom is the ensuite 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 second bathroom is simple and clean with a tiled floor. All linens are supplied for your stay including two sets of bath towels for each guest. Cleaning supplies are also supplied 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 to get the perfect Oak Island rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your vacation in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. 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 vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have coupons for local shops and restaurants.

Choosing and booking a perfect Wrightsville Beach rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 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.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
