IDEALLY SITUATED ON WEST SIDE OF NATURAL CANAL WITH DIRECT ICW ACCESS
La Brisa is charmingly 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 elegant 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 striking 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 huge, 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 awe-inspiring 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 bags 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 savor 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 enormous (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 appreciate our professionally landscaped and maintained yard from any of the outdoor spaces. We have planted numerous varieties of palm trees, native grasses, annuals, perennials, and an herb garden. Our striking Zoysia lawn is great for any outdoor activity!

VINTAGE CHARM, BUT UPDATED
The home has been remodeled 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 included.

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. Appreciate 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.

No smoking. No family pets.

NOTE: We have two outdoor cameras, one in the front that is directed to the front stairs, and one in the rear that is directed towards the rear stairs.

Tips to get the very best Wrightsville Beach vacation property experience:

Finding your best deal:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summer time is high season in Ocean Isle Beach. To find the best value, try changing your family's Wrightsville Beach trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select vacation week and budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Free linens, towels, kayaks, bikes! Walk to Town Park! Deep water dock! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach attraction you crave, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Have a great stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
