Savor expansive vistas of the marsh, dunes and Atlantic from the comfort of your living room at The Loggerhead. Soak in the calming and secluded vibes afforded by this gorgeous location as you walk along your private boardwalk to Oak Island’s white sand beach.

With common spaces decorated in citrus hues and with warm wooden accents throughout, you’ll feel you’ve escaped to the tropics as soon as you step inside. Gather in the comfortable and inviting living room to watch a favorite show as a family, or shut the TV cabinet doors and watch the flames dance in the fireplace or the sunset reflect on the waves instead. Take a closer look with the supplied telescope to check out dolphins at play or study the stars at nighttime.

The adjacent kitchen is completely equipped with everything you need to prepare favorite family recipes or the fresh catch of the day. The breakfast bar provides mealtime seating for four, while the close by dining table seats six. A half bathroom is located down the hall for convenience. Ceiling fans are located throughout the home to help keep you cozy.

Off the living room you’ll find the master suite, which features ocean vistas, a king bed and a T.V. for personal entertainment. A recliner provides the ideal spot to curl up in the sun with a good beach read. The attached bathroom offers his and her pedestal sinks, a step-in tile shower and a claw-foot tub. All other sleeping spaces are located on the lower level, along with the laundry room.

The secondary suite is also furnished with a king bed, and offers an en suite bathroom with a step-in tile shower. Appreciate direct access to the oceanfront screened porch from this bedroom. Next door, an airy office space features two sets of French doors that allow light to stream in from the covered porch and hall. This space also has a twin bed and gives direct access to the covered porch, which includes a wooden porch swing and classic rocking chair. Just beyond the office, you’ll find a full bathroom with hall access and a step-in shower. Directly opposite, the queen bedroom overlooks the front covered porch. The final bedroom, equipped with a king bed, offers direct access to both the ocean front covered porch and the streetside covered porch, a shady respite that also offers enchanting vistas of the marsh.

When you are ready to hit the sand, kids and kids-at-heart will adore the excitement of heading down your own private boardwalk over the marsh on your way to the beach. Stop at the deck with constructed-in seating to watch for shorebirds, turtles, deer and more. Once you’re to the shared sand access path, only a few more steps take you to one of the least busy stretches of sand on Oak Island’s East Beach.

Once you return from a day spent in the sun and surf, an enclosed outdoor shower on the ground level with hot and cold water comes in handy when rinsing the sand! You'll also find a half bath located beside the outdoor shower. In the evening, walk less than half a mile to savor a round of mini-golf or some arcade games at Oak Island Jungle Golf, treat yourself to some of the best ice cream on the island at Lil and John’s Sweetreat or indulge in a mouthwatering dining experience at Salt 64. Build vacation memories to last a lifetime at The Loggerhead!

Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

When to book a Wrightsville Beach rental & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To find the best rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. The Loggerhead: Oceanfront, Beautiful Walkway Over Marsh has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your family.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach beach you simply love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
