Feel true Oceanview Bliss with a stay at this bright and cheerful condo located in the oceanfront Southern Shores Villas complex, located in the heart of Oak Island's East Beach. Drink in charming vistas of the sea from your living room, private covered porch and master bedroom.

Fun tropical details are scattered throughout the open concept living space. Gather in front of the TV to stream a favorite movie as you relax on the couch or an upsized armchair. The sturdy dining table seats six and provides plenty of space for meals or a family boardgame. The kitchen features everything you need to prepare during your stay. Lay out the ultimate sandwich buffet on the breakfast bar or prepare the catch of the day on the broad counters. A laundry closet opposite the kitchen is supplied with a full-sized washer and dryer for your convenience.

The master bedroom is furnished with a king bed and features direct covered porch access as well as a private en suite bathroom. Listen to the waves as you drift off each evening and open the sliding doors to greet each day with a breath of fresh ocean air. Both bathrooms in the unit are equipped with a standard tub/shower combo. The second bathroom offers hall access as well as direct access to the second bedroom, which also has a king bed. The final bedroom provides a double bed, and all sleeping spaces have ceiling fans for your personal comfort.

The covered balcony looks out over the pool area to the sea and the countless horizon beyond. While the two sections of the porch are connected, a partial wall affords some privacy between the portion off the living room and the portion off the master bedroom. Each of these areas is furnished with a pair of captain's chairs and a bistro table. Appreciate your morning coffee as you watch seabirds swoop and soar, or gaze at the sun as it dips below the horizon and paints the sea and sky with a rainbow of color as you sip on a invigorating drink.

When you're ready to hit the sand, beach access is fast and painless due to dedicated complex access points. Settle in at the covered gazebo and sway on one of the porch swings for a moment before you crest the dune and lay out your blanket. If you need a break from the surf, cool off in the oceanfront pool instead. Additional community amenities include a grilling and picnic area as well as an outdoor shower for rinsing off before heading inside.

Located in simple walking distance from a number of local eateries, beach stores, ice cream stores, nightlife and even an arcade, you can walk along the main drag in the evening to appreciate nostalgic activities as a family. Or embark on any number of coastal adventures, from exploring close by historic Southport to venturing via ferry to the Fort Fisher Aquarium or other Wilmington-area attractions. However you like to spend your beach vacation, Oceanview Bliss is ready to serve as your happy place while your family builds memories that will last a lifetime.

Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Wrightsville Beach trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the best vacation home:

• Start by having your group select date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Oceanview Bliss: Walk to Everything from this Cheerful Beachfront Condo has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix 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 comments.
