As this home is only an estimated two-min. walk to the beach, it's a Shore Thing that you'll appreciate how convenient this rental is to the shores of the Atlantic. Located on Dolphin Drive, this third-row home's location is a happy mix of a coastal hideaway and a welcoming neighborhood. Appreciate riding bicycles on the peaceful street during a sunny afternoon or listening to the sound of birds and ocean waves as you sip your morning coffee on the covered porch.

This home has a fenced-in yard, so your kids can play with the safety and privacy of a border. Take the whole family and appreciate a meal cooked on the grille on the outdoor picnic table or take a dip in the private pool on those hot summer days. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach before you hop on the elevator and go up to your room!

The living room contains plenty of comfortable seating for the whole crew. Plenty of natural light ensures a bright and airy feel. The dining room table seats eight and overlooks the water, so you can watch the pelicans soar across the shoreline during mealtimes. There are four additional seats at the bar in the kitchen, which includes all the cooking basics you need for your stay.

There is one king bed and en-suite bath on the upstairs. Downstairs guests will find three bedrooms, including two king beds, one twin over double bunk bed and a twin with a twin trundle. Each bedroom has a T.V. so guests can split up to watch their favorite shows or movies.

This rental is close to many local stores and eateries. It is a four-min. walk to the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier and Island Way, a impressive oceanfront restaurant just beside the pier. Take a short walk to the Sea Biscuit Wildlife Center to watch their spectacular volunteers rehabilitate our beach birds. There's tons to appreciate at Shore Thing!

How to get the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Wrightsville Beach attractions. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
