Coming to the Beach you can’t wait for a Little Sunshine to kiss your face & give you that “I’m on vacation” glow. Located on the 2nd row, you can sit in the Rockers on the Front Deck & watch the waves tumble in & hear them crash onto the sandy shore. Because OKI is a South-Facing Beach, you can watch both the Sunrise & Sunset over the water. Sit back, relax & you may spy Fishing & Shrimp Boats headed in, ladened down with their hulls full & in the distance, possibly even a Container Ship as it begins to make its way from the vast Atlantic to the Port of Wilmington. The Front & Back Decks have a gate to keep curious kids from discovering the downstairs without assistance.

This Open Concept Cottage has been refreshed with new furnishings, fresh paint, new appliances & bathroom upgrades. The Entirely-Stocked Kitchen includes Drip Coffee Maker/Slow Cooker/Griddle/Hand Mixer. For inspiration, flip through one of multiple cookbooks to determine which delicious meal you will prepare next. One of the standouts in the serviceware are the charming dishes on which to serve your oysters on the ½ shell. Just outside the Kitchen door is a table to serve your dinner Al Fresco. A modest propane grille is also on the back deck. A Full-Sized Propane Grille awaits your seafood caught or bought downstairs. You can serve your meals in the open air underneath the bungalow at the picnic table. While you are waiting for dinner to be prepared, play a game of Corn Hole on the regulation-sized boards.

Inside, with convenient proximity to the kitchen, is the dining area. Additional seating for 4 at the kitchen bar. Watch your favorite shows on the Generous Screen Intelligent TV in the Living Area. With tons of comfortable seating, you can even watch the waves roll in across the street. The enormous Coffee Table is ideal for playing one of the various games or assembling a puzzle.

This bungalow sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms. Bedroom #1 has an Ocean View, King, Intelligent TV & Closet for unpacking. Imagine what the heavens would look like if you were able to see them through the decorative telescope. Bedroom #2 has a Queen, a library of Beach Reads, Intelligent TV & an Armoire. Bedroom #3 has a King, an Ocean View, a Intelligent TV & a closet. Bedroom #4 is fitted with 2 Twin Beds, a Intelligent TV & Closet. Pack lighter to leave room for the collection of shells & souvenirs you gathered because there is a Full-Sized Washer & Dryer to keep your bathing suits & towels fresh for the next day. If you wish to hang your towels to dry in the sunshine & smell of the fresh ocean breeze, there is an extendable laundry line downstairs.

Grab a beach read (numerous of local stories), a cup of coffee or a glass of wine & head downstairs to savor the comfortable & roomy Adirondack Chairs, Rocker or curl up on the Bench. Imagine yourself as a character in your book as you smell the salt air & feel the gentle winds off the sea. Have a friendly competition for the best chess or checkers player at the picnic table. After a delicious dinner, gather on the bottom level to watch your favorite movie using the Roku projector on the screened wall. This is definitely a unique feature of this bungalow!

Our top Oak Island vacation rental home tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Reserve your Southport rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Dog Friendly w\/ Spectacular Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Additional considerations:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. text the property manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
