Summer Sea offers guests a private pool, elevator and keyless entry near Saint James by the Sea. The aqua exterior echoes the broad vistas of the Atlantic Ocean off the wraparound, first floor covered porch and second floor deck. Ample outdoor furnishings encourages guests to maximize their time outside, whether catching rays in a lounge chair by the pool or greeting the morning in a brightly colored Adirondack rocker while sipping your morning coffee.

With an inverted floor plan, multiple sliding glass doors and sizable picture windows, guests won’t miss the view when they step into the open concept living area. Here, guests can gather on the sectional couch, around the dining table (which seats 10) or in the u-shaped kitchen (with seating for three more at the counter). Stainless appliances, cherry cabinets, solid surface countertops and a tile backsplash set the stage for preparing memorable family meals. There is a second living area located on the first floor with a wet bar.

Notable tech offerings include TV's in all rooms, wireless internet and convenient lamps with constructed-in charging stations (the latter is in two of the bedrooms). Other amenities include an enclosed outside shower and covered parking on the ground level.

The seasonal pool is typically open May 31st through October 15th each year.

Rental booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Oak Island. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• 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 price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach destination you long to visit, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
