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 huge 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 sizable pantry for keeping your ingredients close at hand. The living area has a picture window that accepts in streams of natural light & a gorgeous view of the ocean. Settle into the comfortable new couch, appreciate 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 striking 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”.

How to get the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Finding the best value:

• To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in the Carolina Beach area:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. 20% Off October Stays - Gorgeous Ocean Front Home, Steps to the Water, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 1 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Contact the property manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• 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 rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
