7 HAPPY CLAMS - This handsome home is the answer to all your cravings for tranquility, peaceful, serenity and happiness. Located in the peaceful wooded area of Oak Island, but still very close to the beach and all the marvelous activities and great eateries the island and surrounding towns have to offer. Surrounded by pretty trees, you can start your mornings out slow on the calming screened porch with your favorite cup of coffee as the ocean breezes rustle gently through the trees and breathe in the healing salt air. Inside, you will continue to feel a sense of calm as you take in the soothingly decorated beach theme throughout the home. With the open concept floor plan, everybody can be together, even as the chef in the family whips up a special meal. The master bedroom suite is very roomy and offers a whirlpool tub in the private bath so you can relax your cares away. There are also two guest bedrooms - one a bunk bedroom, ideal for the kids - the other offering a queen and a twin single, ideal for a modest family or teenagers. Don' forget about the huge fenced backyard where you can grille out your catch from a day of fishing at the beach or visit one of the local fresh seafood markets to grab your dinner! Appreciate rocking away on the two-seater swing under the home as the kids play, catching up on old times with family and friends. Everything here is so calming and beautiful that you will be "happy clams" wanting to come back year after year!

Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best value:

• Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in Oak Island:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 3 BR\/2 BA Home, Minutes to Beach, Pool with Heating, Sleeps 9 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is best for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Traveling with pets? 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 rental agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Speak to the property manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out 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.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
