Three FSTV's with streaming capabilities, phone, DVD player, cd player and wireless internet access. Centrally located and close to both island bridges, this bright and cheerful bungalow only four rows back from the water is waiting to welcome you and up to two dogs per stay for a calming oceanside holiday. With a split floor plan featuring two bedrooms and a shared hall bath on either side of the open concept living area, this is an ideal beach home for two families to share and appreciate together.

The modernized kitchen includes multiple new major kitchen appliances, Quartz countertops and backsplash and freshly painted cabinets with plenty of storage for your items. The rest of the home has also been newly refreshed throughout with new floor, washer/dryer, couches and comforters.

The inviting features continue outside, where you’ll find an broad covered back porch with plenty of seating (including lounge chairs and a rocker), a gate to help keep little ones corralled and a view that includes glimpses of the water. There is also an open front deck with additional furnishings. Dine al Fresca at the picnic table underneath the home and then savor the breeze with a drink in hand while lazily swaying on the porch swing. The driveway provides ample parking for your entire group.

A short walk of fewer than 900 feet takes you from the driveway to the sand where you’ll lay your blanket, and a sizable outdoor cooler with wheels is included and stored in an outdoor closet to help get your things to the beach. A cavernous enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water as well as a changing area make cleaning up after returning from the beach a breeze.

As an added additional, the spectacular walkway over the Davis Canal at 29th St is even closer than the beach and provides a magnificent opportunity to view the island’s wildlife, including foxes, herons and other shorebirds, deer and more. This walkway also provides painless access to the Oak Island Rec Center, where kayaks can be rented to discover the island's waterways. You're also only a two-min. drive from Heron Lookout Park on 40th Street.

How to book the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking in Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.

• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback.
