A Shore Place transcends the typical beach bungalow, offering a striking getaway that delightfully fuses Hamptons-style elegance with coastal appeal and unmatched comfort. Located in the coveted Kings Lynn area of West Beach, you're only a half-mile to The Point and a leisurely walk away from the fashionable Lonerider Brew Pub Restaurant.

As you step inside, you're instantly greeted by an broad wall of windows framing sweeping ocean vistas that fill the space with natural light. The open floor plan accentuates the striking exposed beam vaulted ceilings, while the real showstopper is the one-of-a-kind seashell fireplace crafted with shells collected from Oak Island's beach! After a day of coastal adventures, the two full-size couches invite you to relax and savor the view.

The half bath is hidden off of the living space through a secret door, will you be able to find it?

The gourmet kitchen has completely transformed into a chef's paradise with extravagant multicolored stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient pot filler above the brand-new electric stove. Gather around the cavernous Fantasy Brown quartzite kitchen island that seats four for morning coffee and evening beverages. A completely equipped coffee station awaits with both a drip coffee maker and a Keurig to cater to everybody's preferences. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area comfortably seats six and features marvelous ocean vistas to elevate every meal.

Outside, the kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly onto the covered deck, where matching granite countertops, an outdoor sink, and a comfortable table for four make alfresco dining a delight. This covered space opens to an expansive oceanfront deck with five cozy rocking chairs, ideal for unwinding to the relaxing sound of the waves. Just beyond, a roomy constructed-in U-shaped seating area surrounds a gas fire pit, setting the scene for calming during the day and storytelling under the stars in the evening.

The primary king is a true getaway, complete with bespoke artwork, a serene blue-painted ceiling, and a wall-mounted TV. Its ensuite bath exudes spa-like luxury with a double vanity, delightful lozenge-shaped mirrors, a walk-in shower with a rain showerhead, and a soaking tub for ultimate relaxation. The second king suite features constructed-in cabinets, a wall-mounted TV, and an ensuite bath with a enormous tiled shower, toilet and double vanity, bringing both comfort and style.

A striking queen bedroom offers a calming space with its own wall-mounted TV, ideal for winding down after a beach day. Young guests will adore the enchanting "Castle Bunkroom," with its two constructed-in double beds featuring a castle facade and playful color-changing nautical lights that create a whimsical hideaway. These rooms have simple access to a handsomely designed full hall bath with a tub/shower combination.

For post-beach refreshment, there's an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water and an open cold-water shower at beach level. Fire up the gas grille for family cookouts, and securely stow your beach essentials, fishing gear, and bicycles in the lockable storage area under the home.

Wrightsville Beach rental booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your Wrightsville Beach vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. HGTV Winner: Oceanfront Hamptons-Style Retreat in Kings Lynn has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach attraction you long to visit, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share 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 had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
