Surrounded by tons of trees and greenery, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom property is a real getaway just two blocks from the ocean and with painless access to Oak Island attractions.

A short walk inland on the Scenic Trail leads over the canal and directly to the kayak and canoe launch. Among the other inland entertainments are the splash park, skate park, squash and tennis courts and playground equipment. The king bedroom and one of the queen bedrooms open onto waterway vistas. Two sets of twin-over-twin bunk beds and one bedroom with a double bed complete the sleeping accommodations for up to 10 people. Every piece of furnishings and decorative accent is top-quality. Each room is a delight, from the vibrant blue rocking chairs and side table on the front porch to the gorgeously colored duvets on sleigh beds in two of the rooms and both sets of white bunk beds covered in fanciful ocean-themed linens in a sea-blue room. The bedrooms are carpeted and gleaming wood floors cover all other areas, with the exception of tile floor in the baths and separate laundry room.

A patterned blue and sand colored rug in the living room seating area compliments the like-colored couch and chairs. Flat screen TVs are in all bedrooms and there is wireless internet access throughout. The kitchen is not just state-of-the-art functional, but an eye-pleaser as well. Granite countertops on every work surface pick up the color and theme of the bathroom vanities. A mini-tile splash guard behind the stove adds the ideal accent to this exceptional kitchen. The dining area seats six, with an additional outdoor table and four chairs on the sizable screened back porch.

Stroll out to savor the marsh vistas on the dock added in 2020. A convenient enclosed hot and cold shower is located under the back deck. Generous windows throughout the home offer vistas of gently swaying trees from virtually every vantage point.

Though family pets are not allowed, please note that occasionally a dog may be present during an owner stay for those guests who are allergic to pets.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking your Wrightsville Beach vacation home in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book the rightvacation home:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Ale Of A Good Time: Modern Home Overlooking Canal has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach attraction you are enamored with, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Advice for your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
