There is a king-sized bed in the main bedroom, which is equipped with its own Roku TV and full bathroom. The second bedroom features a comfortable queen-sized bed, while the third bedroom is ideal for kids and teens with a single-over-double bunk bed and a trundle bed that pulls out from underneath.

The home is pet-friendly (with a two-dog limit) and pets are given simple access to the entirely-fenced backyard. The driveway offers ample parking, and doubles as a pickleball/badminton court (net, rackets etc are supplied). The side yard offers additional parking and a close by hose, convenient for boaters. The backyard also has a charcoal grille available for your use, and a second hose near the side entrance, helpful for rinsing off sand after a day at the beach.

Your stay also includes complimentary use of beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, a Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker, and a beach umbrella. The living room features a Roku TV with local TV channels and sign-in access to your Netflix, Prime, Disney, and Hulu accounts.

Our top Wilmington, NC rental property booking tips:

Find your perfect rental:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the perfect vacation home:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Relax and Refresh at Oak Island Brightside has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Document any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct 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.
