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 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 Giant 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.

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 (multiple 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 Rental home tips:

Getting the most from your budget:

• To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Carolina Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Dog Friendly w/ Spectacular Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your group.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually 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 crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
