IDEALLY SITUATED ON WEST SIDE OF NATURAL CANAL WITH DIRECT ICW ACCESS
La Brisa is appealingly located on the west side of one of the very few natural canals on OIB. So, the canal side of the home is shaded from the hot afternoon summer sun. Our canal directly accesses the Intra Coastal Waterway, which is only 500 yards to the north.

SHORT WALK/BIKE RIDE TO EVERYTHING
La Brisa is short 500 yds to the pristine, wide beaches of Ocean Isle. The closest beach access is Monroe Street, which has parking for cars, golf carts and bicycles. It's a 6-min walk or 2-min bicycle ride. Public bathrooms and showers are also located there.

It's also a short walk (or even shorter bicycle ride) to OIB's eateries, the fishing pier, ice cream stores, mini golf, and arcades, the Carolina Coastal Museum and the new Town Park. The Town Park is also the site of the Friday Nighttime Concert Series that runs all summer. Families like the close proximity to the stores, pier, etc. because younger kids can conveniently walk or bicycle to the attractions.

MASSIVE REAR DECK AND TIKI BAR!
Massive rear deck with a 24' x 8' covered portion, a 14' x 12' uncovered portion, and a 12' by 10' pergola covered portion. The covered portion has three comfortable rocking chairs, and is directly accessed by the canal left side bedroom and the master bedroom. A seating area in the uncovered portion includes a Breezesta 4-top bistro table overlooking the lush yard and the canal. Two Breezesta chaise lounges are partially shaded by pergola covered portion.

We also have a bespoke constructed Tiki bar. The huge 8'x14' Tiki bar is under the home and is constructed from reclaimed wood from the original rear deck. A bespoke constructed cypress bar top is charming but should be rugged enough. Behind the bar is a constructed-in 65 qt. cooler for ice and drinks. On the canal side of the Tiki bar is a huge 12'x14' Trex deck with a teak seating area and a hammock.

MASTER BEDROOM SUITE
We have an expanded master bedroom suite by enclosing 96 sq ft of the original, covered deck, which created room for a king bed and a private, master bathroom. Two double sliders provide extraordinary water vistas and access the covered and pergola covered portions of the rear deck. We also installed a remote controlled, Mitsubishi "mini-split" wall unit that individually heats and cools the master suite. Also found in the master suite is a 39" intelligent HDTV with YouTube TV.

The private, master bath is accessed via a sliding door and features a enormous, granite vanity. The master bath accesses a buddy shower room with a bespoke tiled shower.

A private bath for the front right bedroom also has a granite vanity and accesses the shower room.

The master suite and new bathrooms are finished with shiplap walls and engineered plank floor.

HUGE FRONT PORCH!
A giant (24'x10') porch is on the street side of the home, with separate seating and dining areas. The dining area has a bistro table with two bar-height swiveling Adirondack chairs and two bar stools, and the seating area includes a double Adirondack glider and two Adirondack rockers.

The front porch is partially covered, and is a great spot for a morning cup of java or appreciating one of OIB's epic sunsets. The front porch also features Trex decking and constructed-in architectural lighting. The porch is accessed by lighted stairs that are covered so you can stay dry in the unfortunate event of rain when you arrive or leave.

COMPLIMENTARY KAYAKS, BIKES, BED LINENS, BATH TOWELS, BEACH CHAIRS AND BEACH TOWELS
The local rental companies say, "Don't pack it, rent it." We say, "Don't pack it or rent it, just show up!"

Use of our 3 kayaks (one 13.5' Perception Tribe tandem and two 9.5' Perception Tribe singles) is supplied in the rental fee! We also provide paddles and personal floatation devices. (If you rented these three kayaks locally, you would pay $400/week.*)

We also provide 4 adult bicycles, at no additional charge, so you can take advantage of our amazing location and bicycle to the beaches, stores and eateries. This saves you $160/week* or the hassle of schlepping your bicycles all the way to the beach.

Unlike many OIB vacation units, we also provide bath towels, bed linens, pillows and blankets for all beds, at no additional charge We also provide 4 beach chairs, and beach towels, also at no additional charge. This saves you more than $200/week* if rented locally and frees up all that space in your suitcases and car.

DOCK, PIER AND RAMP
We have a rebuilt 8'x14' floating dock that is a ideal place to park your boat or jet skis, crab or fish, swim in the canal, or just relax.

We also have a sizable (10'x12'), rebuilt fixed pier with constructed-in seating around three sides. The pier is connected to the dock by a bespoke constructed, wide (4'x12') aluminum ramp. An aluminum, ladder on the floating dock makes for painless access to the water for swimming in the canal, launching kayaks, etc.

TONS OF OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE/PROFESSIONALLY LANDSCAPED YARD
La Brisa features tons of outdoor living space to appreciate the water vistas and ocean breezes. The front and rear decks, and the tiki bar total 1000 sq. ft. of finished, outdoor space.

In addition, there is another covered area under the home and behind the Tiki bar, which includes a sizable picnic table and a back bar, where you can enjoying a rousing game of ring toss.

Completing the outdoor living spaces is the huge (10'x12') pier extending into the canal, with constructed-in seating on three sides, and a floating dock with a constructed-in bench. We also have four (4) light weight Adirondack chairs that can be comfortably moved down to the dock or pier or to wherever they are needed.

You can savor our professionally landscaped and maintained yard from any of the outdoor spaces. We have planted multiple varieties of palm trees, native grasses, annuals, perennials, and an herb garden. Our handsome Zoysia lawn is great for any outdoor activity!

VINTAGE CHARM, BUT UPDATED
The home has been modernized and updated. The center portion of the interior features a light filled, open living/dining/kitchen area. The remodel preserved the bungalow's vintage charm by keeping the original vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, tongue and groove paneling and architectural windows on the front and rear gables. There are tile floors in the main living areas and engineered plank floor in all bedrooms and bathrooms.

The kitchen has granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and maple cabinets. We added a shiplap accent wall and subway tile backsplash in the kitchen. The kitchen is very well equipped with all the expected cooking and dining silverware, pots and pans and appliances.

Two remote controlled ceiling fans in the main living area help keep things cool and comfortable, if you like the windows open. If not, the brand new HVAC system will definitely keep you cool.

AWESOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS
The living area has a 55", flat panel, intelligent 4K HDTV with, YouTube TV streaming service, DVR and a DVD player. There is also a state-of-the-art SONOS sound system for watching movies in surround sound and streaming your favorite tunes. Free and robust Wi-Fi is supplied.

UPDATED OUTDOOR BATHROOM; LAUNDRY ROOM
Also on the ground level is an updated full, outdoor bathroom with Trex floor. The shower has hot and cold water, a large sink and a separate water closet with a toilet.

Next to the outdoor bathroom is a laundry/storage area with a full size washer and dryer and a second refrigerator/freezer. The bicycles, beach chairs, corn hole game, paddles, PFD's, and other toys are stored in the laundry room.

LEGENDARY GOLF: PERFECT FOR A FOURSOME
Golfers welcome! The golf in this region is legendary, particularly, in the spring and fall. And, our four (4) bedroom home sets up ideally for a foursome. Savor the great golf and then relax and enjoy the canal or the beach, which is a short six (6) min. walk.

There are over 100 golf courses, from Myrtle Beach to Wilmington, within a 1 hour drive, and at least a dozen within a 15 min. drive. Some notables near by include the Thistle, Crow's Creek, River's Edge, Sea Trail (Jones, Maples or Byrd courses) the Pearl , Oyster Bay Sandpiper Bay, etc., etc., etc.

OIB is also between Wilmington NC and Myrtle Beach SC, and all of the eateries, entertainment, shopping and cultural amenities they provide.

Vacation rental tips:

Finding your best deal:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the perfect rental in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Free linens,towels,kayaks,bikes! Week of 8-3 now available! Walk to everything! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach attraction you crave, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Advice for a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
