Stunning sunset vistas, white sand stretching out before your eyes, and even your furry co-pilot along for the ride – your next adventure begins at A New Hope! Float weightlessly in the private pool, gather on the wrap-around porches to lounge and appreciate the island breeze or settle around the front yard firepit during chilly weather as the soundtrack of the waves plays in the distance. Located just across the street from the shore and close to the Oak Island Pier, beach access is a breeze, and you can effortlessly walk to numerous local bars and eateries in the evenings.

On the first floor, you’ll enter into the smaller of two living rooms. A comfortable sectional and matching armchair still provide plenty of seating for your crew to savor a movie or stream a favorite show on the flatscreen TV. The sectional converts to a queen sleeper couch if additional sleeping space is needed. Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, share a connecting full bath. Both feature direct deck access. The bunk room is also located on this floor with a double-over-double bunk bed along with a twin trundle. This room includes a private full bath, and there is an additional full bathroom with hall access just off the living room to ensure everybody has enough space to get ready.

Upstairs, you’ll find an open concept main living space flooded with natural light. Thanks to the reverse floorplan and broad windows, you’ll take in pretty vistas of the Atlantic from the high ground whether you sink into the couches or venture out to the covered porch beyond. The sturdy dining table just beyond the living room can seat up to ten for both family meals and friendly game nights. The adjacent kitchen has plenty of counter space and all the appliances and cookware you’ll need to prepare freshly caught fish or seasonal produce from local markets. Plus, a dedicated pantry means there’s actually enough room to put your supplies away! A half bath is located just off the kitchen for your convenience.

The master bedroom is also located on this floor, complete with a king bed and direct deck access. Wake up to the sights and sounds of the waves each morning! As in all of the downstairs bedrooms, there is a flatscreen TV for personal entertainment. The attached private bath features a walk-in tiled shower with a rainfall showerhead as well as a detachable handheld wand.

In the backyard, the fenced pool area features tropical landscaping and plenty of furnishings for catching a tan or dining al fresco. The pool itself is enormous enough for everybody to splash or float comfortably, and even includes a tanning ledge. The enclosed outdoor shower makes cleaning the sand off of kids or canines (this home accepts up to one dog per stay) painless and convenient. In the front yard, Adirondack chairs are arranged around the firepit. Tell stories to the little ones as you’re dramatically lit by firelight and teach the time-honored tradition of roasting the ideal marshmallow to the crashing music of the waves. Set your course, gather your crew and have a blast on a classic beach adventure at A New Hope!

Tips and Tricks to get the best rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best vacation rental:

• First and foremost, have your group choose dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. A New Hope: Ocean View with Private Pool and Easy Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets 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.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
