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 elegant 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 Substantial Screen Intelligent TV in the Living Area. With tons of comfortable seating, you can even watch the waves roll in across the street. The huge 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.

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!

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

Strategies to get the perfect rental home experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To find the best rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Wrightsville Beach restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your family agree to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Dog Friendly w\/ Spectacular Ocean Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• 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. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
