Ensure a magically Sunkissed vacation with a stay at this classic and comfortable bungalow located less than 700 feet from the sand. Dine al fresco on the screened in porch or the shaded area underneath the home and take in vistas of the ocean from the upper deck.

The open concept living area features a wall-mounted HD flat screen TV so that your family can gather to savor the big game or a favorite movie. The dining table seats six, with seating for four more available at the adjoining breakfast bar. The kitchen is entirely outfitted with everything you need to prepare and serve favorite family recipes or fresh local seafood to your crew.

Just off the living area is a standard full bathroom, which also homes a stackable washer and dryer. The first bedroom is also located on this level, featuring a double bed and two twin beds. There is a wall-mounted flat screen TV available for personal entertainment. Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms, each with its own TV, ocean vistas and direct access to the upper level deck. One room is furnished with a queen bed and the other contains two twins. An additional full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo is located upstairs.

Off the kitchen, the screened-in porch contains a table for dining and a ceiling fan for those days when the sea breeze isn’t rather enough to keep you cool. The wooden ramp provides direct access to the screened porch from the driveway. There’s an enclosed shower with hot and cold water located under the home as well, ideal for rinsing off the sand when you return home from the beach, as well as a hose for cleaning off toys and equipment. A picnic table on this level provides a cool and shady additional dining spot.

When you’re ready to hit the sand, simply turn left and a fast two-min. walk down the road takes you to the closest public beach access. And if you’d rather dine out in the evenings rather than cooking in, turn right instead, where you’ll find multiple trendy eateries, including Shagger Jacks and Solar Brewing Company, within a 10-min. walk. No matter what your ideal beach vacation entails, you’ll find it here. Book your Sunkissed stay today!

Tips to get the perfect Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Wilmington, NC attractions.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Oak Island:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to date ranges and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Sunkissed: Comfy Cottage with Ocean Views and Close Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Note 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 are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct 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 comments.
