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 Totally-Stocked Kitchen includes Drip Coffee Maker/Slow Cooker/Griddle/Hand Mixer. For inspiration, flip through one of numerous cookbooks to determine which delicious meal you will prepare next. One of the standouts in the serviceware are the handsome 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 Sizable 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!

You will remember this delightfully coastal inspired bungalow, the “Whale” of a good time you had & how a Little Sunshine helped you make memories to last a lifetime.

Vacation rental booking tips:

How to get the best value:

• To find the best value, shift your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose and book a perfectrental home:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Dog Friendly w/ Spectacular Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. Otherwise, email or call the host before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.

Advice for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
