Appreciate expansive vistas of the marsh, dunes and Atlantic from the comfort of your living room at The Loggerhead. Soak in the relaxing and secluded vibes afforded by this pretty location as you walk along your private boardwalk to Oak Island’s white sand beach.

With common spaces decorated in citrus hues and with warm wooden accents throughout, you’ll feel you’ve escaped to the tropics as soon as you step inside. Gather in the comfortable and inviting living room to watch a favorite show as a family, or shut the TV cabinet doors and watch the flames dance in the fireplace or the sunset reflect on the waves instead. Take a closer look with the supplied telescope to check out dolphins at play or study the stars at nighttime.

The adjacent kitchen is entirely equipped with everything you need to prepare favorite family recipes or the fresh catch of the day. The breakfast bar provides mealtime seating for four, while the close by dining table seats six. A half bathroom is located down the hall for convenience. Ceiling fans are located throughout the home to help keep you cozy.

Off the living room you’ll find the master suite, which features ocean vistas, a king bed and a T.V. for personal entertainment. A recliner provides the ideal spot to curl up in the sun with a good beach read. The attached bathroom offers his and her pedestal sinks, a step-in tile shower and a claw-foot tub. All other sleeping spaces are located on the lower level, along with the laundry room.

The secondary suite is also furnished with a king bed, and offers an en suite bathroom with a step-in tile shower. Savor direct access to the oceanfront screened porch from this bedroom. Next door, the twin bedroom features direct access to the covered porch, which includes a wooden porch swing and classic rocking chair. Just beyond the twin bedroom, you’ll find a full bathroom with hall access and a step-in shower. Directly opposite, the queen bedroom overlooks the front covered porch. The final bedroom, equipped with a king bed, offers direct access to both the ocean front covered porch and the streetside covered porch, a shady respite that also offers beautiful vistas of the marsh.

When you are ready to hit the sand, kids and kids-at-heart will appreciate the excitement of heading down your own private boardwalk over the marsh on your way to the beach. Stop at the deck with constructed-in seating to watch for shorebirds, turtles, deer and more. Once you’re to the shared sand access path, only a few more steps take you to one of the least busy stretches of sand on Oak Island’s East Beach.

Once you return from a day spent in the sun and surf, an enclosed outdoor shower on the ground level with hot and cold water comes in handy when rinsing the sand! You'll also find a half bath located beside the outdoor shower. In the evening, walk less than half a mile to savor a round of mini-golf or some arcade games at Oak Island Jungle Golf, treat yourself to some of the best ice cream on the island at Lil and John’s Sweetreat or indulge in a mouthwatering dining experience at Salt 64. Build vacation memories to last a lifetime at The Loggerhead!

Oak Island vacation rental home tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking yourrental:

• Select your dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. The Loggerhead: Oceanfront, Beautiful Walkway Over Marsh has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
