Welcome to a Shore Foundation. This vacation home is the Foundation of fun times with adored ones by the Shore. Positioned on the 2nd row, grab the beach cart & chairs & head to the shellabration across the street. Since you have such a short walk, you don’t have to search or pay for parking. On the ground level are highlights of the property. The saltwater pool, hot tub, sectional wicker seating & bar with TV will make you want to call the cabana boy for your pina colada. From the 2 Front Decks you have an ocean view. Go ahead, check the surf. With the Ocean Crest Pier just a short drive away, you can pull up it’s web cam. Since OKI is a South facing beach, the sun rises & sets over the water. From the decks, you get photo worthy vistas. Back decks are also on 2 levels & overlook the pool activities. Drive under the covered parking & unload your suitcases & provisions straight into the elevator. No lugging heavy bags up the steps.

The Upper Level has the modern design of a reverse floorplan to maximize ocean vistas. It is a light & airy open plan living/dining/kitchen. The glass door & multiple huge windows give a variety of delightful daytime & sunset vistas. Indoors you may choose to sit at the 8 seat dining table or at one of the 4 seats at the kitchen island. On those handsome blue sky days OKI is known for, savor the outdoor table on the deck & dine alfresco. This vacation home is definitely kid friendly: Pack ’n Play, highchair, kid-sized plates/silverware & even a kid-sized table with benches next to the dining table. The living area has plenty of comfortable seating, sectional couch & upholstered chair, with a huge screen TV to watch your favorite shows. The well-outfitted kitchen includes: a Duo Keurig k-cup & drip coffee maker, griddle, Ninja blender (perhaps those pina coladas are possible after all!), Cuisinart stand mixer with all the attachments, 4 slice toaster & in an adjoining closet is a drink cooler.

On the Lower Level there are 4 bedrooms & 3 full baths. The Lower Level front deck is covered & has a daybed swing just calling out for a snooze. Let the sound of the waves kissing the shore lull you to sleep. Also on that deck is an open air area with a glider for those who appreciate to sway & feel the warm sunshine on their face. The lower covered back deck has a view of the pool with 2 Southern rockers & a bar height table. Bring out your coffee in the mornings & listen to the call of the gulls. With sliding glass door access to the back deck is an additional bedroom with a queen pull out couch that also serves as an entertainment room with a sizable screen TV, a dry bar, and a beverage cooler.

Upstairs in addition to the 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths, is a half bath right off the dining/kitchen areas. The upper front deck has a 6 seat table with a view of the ocean. The upper level back deck has a view of the pool & 2 rockers with a bar height table. This deck is not covered so you can sit here in the evenings to see the wonders of the nighttime sky above you. As a modest family beach, we don’t have the bright lights of the city which hide the stars.

This vacation home does not feel like a rental but more of a resort. After a day at the beach (just across the street) in the sand & sun, the fun doesn’t end. Whether it’s the pool, hot tub or swaying in the daybed swing with that book you’ve been wanting to read, there are so many amenities that you may not be able to pick your favorite.

Rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to book:

• Summertime is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To find the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking the rightvacation home:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Amazing Ocean Views, Dog Friendly, Heated Salt Water Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Beach Chairs w/ Cart has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach attraction you are crazy about, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
