Confucius said, “Keep it simple & focus on what matters. Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed.” If Confucius was from Oak Island, he likely would have said, “Keep it Shrimple. Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by the busyness of everyday life. Instead, relax on the oceanfront deck. Breathe in the fresh salt air. Listen to the songs of the gulls as the waves break against the shore in accompaniment. Allow yourself to focus on what matters, calming & having fun with family & friends at this West Beach bungalow.” This isn’t just an Ocean View, it’s Oceanfront! Take charming walks watching the sunrise & set. You could also sit on the deck looking out at the vast Atlantic with your cup of coffee watching it rise & watch it set with a glass of wine. Not often seen on the East Coast, OKI faces South. That means that you get both the sun rise & set over the water. Bring your camera.

In simplicity lies beauty & sophistication. As you enter this well-appointed home, you enter an open concept kitchen/living/dining area. Freshly refreshed in 2022, you can savor the new floor, paint, kitchen countertops, living area furnishings & decking. The kitchen has all the essentials to make memorable meals. Modest appliances include a drip/k-cup coffee maker, tea kettle, 4 slice toaster & for those frozen vacay drinks, a blender. Serve your cheese on the granite board & prepare your Low Country Boil in the stockpot. The sizable kitchen island does double duty. On the kitchen side it provides plenty of prep space & an area for creating a buffet. On the dining side, you’ll find 8 bar stools. Next to it is a dining table that seats 4. There is a huge pantry for keeping your ingredients close at hand. The living area has a picture window that accepts in streams of natural light & a beautiful view of the ocean. Settle into the comfortable new couch, adore seat or chair & watch your favorite shows on the intelligent TV. There are a variety of games, puzzles & beach reads to also entertain your group.

This bungalow sleeps up to 10 in 4 coastal inspired bedrooms. The ocean view Primary has a Queen; Bedroom 2, also a Queen; Bedrooms 1 & 2 share a Jack & Jill Bath with a glass door step-in shower. You will appreciate the gorgeous way the owners chose to create privacy, a stained glass window of a boat cruiser on the water. Bedroom #3 has a King with a modest desk ideal for mobile working; Bedroom 4 has 2 Full beds. Bedrooms #2 & 3 share the Hall Bath with a tub/shower combination. All bedrooms feature a intelligent TV, dresser & closet. Pack lighter & leave room in your suitcase for souvenirs because there is a full-sized Washer & Dryer in the laundry closet. Other amenities include a hair dryer, curling iron & Iron/Ironing Board. This bungalow is kid-friendly offering a Pack n’ Play & a kid gate. There is also a desk and desk chair if needed.

Please note: Linens are included with your reservation and your beds will be made prior to your arrival. Also a Welcome Bag will be waiting for you upon your arrival with starter supplies which includes 2 trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher powder, washing machine powder, dish sponge, modest shampoo and conditioner with bar of soap, make up remover, and 2 bottles of water.

The focal point of this bungalow is of course, that it is oceanfront. A enormous, covered deck spans the width of the home & holds comfortable Adirondack chairs & a table with benches, ideal for alfresco dining. As you head down the walkway, you may choose the Adirondack chairs on the sun deck to take in those uplifting, radiant rays of sunshine. Gaze over the sweeping vistas of our unspoiled beach. Keep a keen eye out & you may see dolphins playing in the water before you. Just to the left of the dune in front of you is an access to the fun in the sand. In the storage ahead of your parking area, you will find beach chairs, including a tiny Adirondack chair for the smallest guest. Look in the storage locker on the back deck & you will find an assortment of beach toys. As you return from the beach, you can use the open air rinsing shower with foot wash or the enclosed outdoor shower beneath the bungalow.

So, remember, as the Oak Island Confucius say, “Keep it Shrimple”.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. 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 vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and choose the rightrental home:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Gorgeous Ocean Front Home, Steps to the Water, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 10 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Traveling with pets? 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
