Gather up the kids and the dog and head to The Island Sandpiper for your next beach vacation! Walk to everything from this trendy complex located in the heart of Oak Island – you’ll find eateries, arcades, stores, ice cream stores (and, of course, the beach!) all just a few moments’ walk from your doorstep. Add striking vistas of the sunset from the west-facing balcony and windows along with awe-inspiring community amenities like a seasonal pool for a really fantastic stay.

The open concept living area is warmly decorated in beachy tones. Sink into the couch, which pulls out to a queen bed if needed, or settle into one of the mid-century modern armchairs instead. Stream cartoons for the kids as you get ready for a day filled with adventure. The square kitchen table seats four, and an additional four seats are available at the adjacent breakfast bar. The kitchen is entirely supplied with everything you need to prepare and dine during your stay, and there’s plenty of counterspace to lay out groceries and supplies. A laundry closet is conveniently located beside the kitchen and provides a stackable washer and dryer for use during your stay. A dog crate is even included for your use if Fido needs it.

When it’s time to retire for the evening, each of the two bedrooms is furnished with a TV so you can let the little ones drift off to a favorite movie or Mom and Dad can stay up late even if someone is sleeping in the living room. The master bedroom has a king bed, and the second bedroom has two twins. Each bedroom also offers an attached private bathroom with a step-in shower stall, and the bathroom attached to the twin room provides plenty of floor space in case you have to help younger members of your event.

Step through the sliding French doors in the living room to greet the day on the modest open balcony. Cradle a cup of coffee as the sun warms your skin and reflects off the sea as it stretches across the horizon. When it’s time to hit the beach, you’ll find access is just a short walk away. Watch the condo’s namesake sandpipers flit across the shore as the kids play in the surf or build sandcastles. If you’re ready to cool off but need a break from the sand, take a dip in the complex’s pool instead.

Ready to discover all Oak Island has to offer? You can’t beat this location. Some of the island’s most fashionable dining spots are right around the corner, including Thai and Vine and The Pirate’s Deck. Have a friendly family competition at the close by arcade and follow up with a sweet treat at one of the many ice cream and candy stores within just a few blocks, or pop into one of the beach stores for a souvenir. Lean into the nostalgia of a classic beach vacation without compromising on modern amenities at The Island Sandpiper!

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Wrightsville Beach rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• To find the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

How to select the perfect vacation home:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Island Sandpiper: Walk to Everything from this Dog-friendly Condo has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If not, call the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
