Healing Waters. When you book a hideaway, that is what you are looking for. Somewhere to relax & have fun. In this oceanfront bungalow one of your favorite spots may be sitting on the deck, overlooking the ocean & feeling the effect of those Healing Waters. Smell that fresh salt air. Feel those salubrious breezes. Put your toes in the warm sand. Take a dip into the ocean, the Healing Waters. In the heat of the day, relax on the covered deck & take in all the beauty that being oceanfront affords. Oak Island is unusual on the East Coast in that we have a South facing beach. Bring your camera & coffee to watch the sun rise over the water & in the evening pour a glass of wine to watch the sun set, also over the water. As the sun disappears, the Edison lights on the deck create a calming mood.

There is a private walkway leading you over the 1st set of dunes to a path through the 2nd set of dunes to the shoreline. As you head down the walkway you may want to bring the binoculars from inside & sit on the bench to watch for dolphins playing in the water ahead of you. Zoom in to see the pelicans fly in formation & the gulls as they “laugh” at you. Grab the supplied 6 chairs & beach toys as you head to savor the warmth of the sun & fun in the sand & water.

Unload your vacation supplies under the covered parking & head right up the stairs leading to the memories about to be made. Staying oceanfront also saves you from searching for parking at the beach accesses & during the season, having to pay to park once you find that space.

Enter to find an open concept kitchen, dining & living areas. The bright white, vaulted ceilings reflect the light from the windows flanking the back of the living area with vistas of the ocean. What an airy, relaxing vibe you feel already. In the comfortable living area, you can watch TV, play games, or relive the fun of the day by the ambiance of electric fireplace any time of year. Dividing the kitchen & living areas is an island with plenty of storage & seating for 6. You may choose alfresco dining at the picnic table on the deck. Preparing meals in this open concept kitchen accepts for everybody to be together but appreciating their own activities. Modest appliances include a drip/k-cup coffee maker, tea kettle, blender, toaster & stock pot to make those low county seafood boils.

To the left of the dining island is the stacked washer/dryer laundry center. Save room for souvenirs by packing lighter because you can wash your vacation clothes, swimsuits & towels as you use them. An iron & board are supplied to look sharp & crisp for those dinners out. The Primary Bedroom, with ensuite, entry is directly off the dining area. This Primary with queen includes an ensuite with shower & hair dryer. Bedroom #2 has 2 twin beds, TV & a desk for mobile work or school. Bedroom #3 sleeps 3 in a full & twin bed; TV. The hall bath has a tub/shower combination with hair dryer & is shared by bedrooms 2 & 3.

Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Book your rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Amazing Dog Friendly Oceanfront 3 Bedroom Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
