The next time you visit Oak Island, ensure your time spent off the beach is a true After Dune Delight with a stay at this dog-friendly property featuring a 12' x 24' above-ground saltwater pool with decking and a wooden ledge inviting you to dangle your feet in the cool water. Walk to the Oak Island Nature Center, local ice cream stores and eateries or even to the beach - a public beach access point complete with bathrooms and rinse-off stations is less than a mile from your doorstep! Or rent the available golf cart for an additional fee of $600 per stay.

The welcoming front porch offers a variety of outdoor furnishings and a shaded respite for peaceful conversation as you watch the world go by. A wooden gate at the top of the steps means babies and fur-babies alike can join you safely as you savor the island breeze. Or relax on the screened back porch instead as you watch the sunlight filter through Oak Island's famed tress and listen to the kids splash happily in the pool below.

Gather together on the couch and loveseat to stream a favorite movie on the wall-mounted Roku TV, or curl up in one of the arm chairs with a good book instead. The dining table seats up to six, when you add additional chairs from the bedrooms, and an adjacent side bar table offers three barstools as well. The kitchen offers plenty of counter space for preparing meals or storing snacks for painless access. Everything you need to prepare meals is included, from appliances to cookware.

The master suite is furnished with a king bed and a TV for personal entertainment. The modest desk offers a spot to getaway with your laptop if work can't be entirely avoided during your stay. The attached private bathroom is equipped with a double vanity and a step-in shower stall with a constructed-in seat. The remaining two sleeping spaces on this level share access to a hall bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo. The second bedroom contains another king bed and TV, while the third bedroom offers a classic twin-over-twin bunk bed and an additional twin bed, along with another workstation and desk chair.

Downstairs, a separate suite is reached via a dedicated ground floor entrance (note there is no internal staircase connecting the upper and lower floor). Parlor on the sleeper couch as the game plays on the sizable TV, which pulls out to a queen bed if needed. A modest kitchen table for two offers space to eat breakfast quietly before venturing upstairs, and the open sleeping alcove just beyond provides a twin-over-twin bunk bed. The attached half bathroom also provides external access to the pool area and a convenient enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water.

Catch some rays from the pool deck on the supplied lounge chairs, or dine al fresco in the shade of the home at one of two tables seating a total of eight guests. Entering the above-ground pool is a breeze thanks to the wide wooden steps and a constructed-in ledge surrounding two sides. On the other side of the pool gate, you'll find plenty of driveaway parking and some covered parking space. You can even pull into the grass to the left of the driveway if you need more space!

When you're ready to hit the sand, grab the supplied beach chairs and travel less than a mile by foot, car, golf cart or even bicycle (two of the latter are available for your use so you can discover the island at your own pace). And when you've finally tired of the sand and surf, head back for some After Dune Delight and memories that will last a lifetime!

Please note that the pictured attached garage is not available for guest use.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Wrightsville Beach vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Book your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking a perfect Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. After Dune Delight: Dog-Friendly, Private Pool, Optional Golf Cart has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
