Walk through the front door and you're greeted with the comfortable and homey feel of a farmhouse-style beach home! Soothing cool colors and decor make this place calming, so you can relax. It has a well-equipped kitchen. Charming gray granite counters and a captivating chandelier above the kitchen island with more seating steal the show.

There is a stacked washer and dryer off to the side, so you won't worry about wet towels and sandy swimsuits.

All bedrooms besides the master have additional seating so you can bury your nose in a book before bed, but don't worry - wireless internet access is supplied.

The fenced-in outdoor getaway is highlighted with an inground saltwater pool and a jetted seating area. Heating is even available upon request for those chillier evenings. Plenty of space for sunbathing in the loungers by the pool. Savor dining and socializing under the sunshade by day and carnival lights by nighttime.

On the front of the home, there's a screened-in porch with comfortable seating and a cafe table to savor your morning coffee, listen to the ocean and smell the salt air.

Getting the best Wrightsville Beach rental home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.

• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
