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.

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 impressive 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 Enormous Screen Intelligent TV in the Living Area. With tons of comfortable seating, you can even watch the waves roll in across the street. The sizable 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 (numerous of local stories), a cup of coffee or a glass of wine & head downstairs to appreciate 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 Vacation rental booking tips:

When to visit & When to book:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting and booking your prefectrental:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 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 descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, 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 haven't forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
