The clean lines of modern architectural design meet the glorious natural beauty of the shoreline at Sandbox, a gorgeous luxury home that finished construction in early summer of 2024. Soak in unobstructed ocean vistas from the upper and lower decks or soak away your cares in the private pool and hot tub. Meticulously designed and thoughtfully laid out, you’ll find no detail overlooked at this spectacular property.

On the upper floor, the light neutral tones of the main living space soothe the senses and draw the eye to the alluring horizon beyond. A curved sectional provides plenty of seating to gather and watch the big game on the wall-mounted Intelligent TV or appreciate the peaceful glow of the flames from the gas fireplace. The elegant but sturdy dining table waits for meals or family game nights and seats 10. There are seats for an additional three guests at the adjoining kitchen island. Featuring plenty of counter and storage space, the gourmet kitchen is furnished with high-end appliances and all the equipment you need to whip up your favorite recipes or local fresh seafood. A half bath is located down the hall for your convenience.

Each bedroom features its own private en-suite full bath and a flat screen TV for personal entertainment. Just off the kitchen, you’ll find the bunk room, with two twin-over-double bunk beds, and an attached bath with a standard tub/shower combo and double vanity. As you move down the hallway, the next bedroom is furnished with a king bed and the bathroom features a charming tile step-in shower. At the end of the hall, a modest office space is furnished with a wall-to-wall desk, keyboard, mouse and monitor for those who still have to keep up with work or school. Across the way, a spa-like master suite contains a king size bed and direct porch access. The attached bath is furnished with a double vanity and an broad step-in tile shower that also contains a separate soaking tub within the shower enclosure.

The exact same bedroom and bathroom arrangement is echoed on the lower floor, with another bunk room and two more king bedrooms available on that level. As you exit the stairs, a second living area complete with a kitchenette is located to the left and provides access to the lower deck and pool area beyond. A modest exercise room is supplied off this space, complete with a Peloton bicycle, hand weights and yoga mats, a barre and a full-length mirror, along with your choice of the supplied TV or the ocean vistas beyond for motivation. The laundry room is just down the hall, featuring a full-sized stackable washer and dryer.

Venturing outside, you’ll find a gas grille available for outdoor entertaining, and you can’t beat the view from the pool and hot tub. Mostly shaded, there are two poolside lounge chairs and additional seating along with a sturdy wooden picnic table here. Your private wooden boardwalk stretches over the wetlands to the sand beyond, ensuring beach access is a breeze. The porches on both levels are furnished with ceiling fans for days when the sea breeze is a bit less enthusiastic. On the upper-level covered porch, you’ll find a comfortable outdoor couch facing the outdoor gas fireplace, along with additional seating facing the waves beyond.

The peaceful, private lot is centrally located on Oak Island, and is only a fast walk to Food Lion, eateries, mini golf and shopping. Located on a side street with extremely limited public beach access parking spaces, you’ll find this is one of the most uncrowded sections of Oak Island’s white sand beach even during the peak of the summer season. Whether you’re getting away with family, friends or a little bit of both, you can build the vacation of your dreams at Sandbox!

How to get the best Wrightsville Beach vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing and booking the best Wrightsville Beach vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Sandbox: Modern Home with Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Direct Beach Access has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
