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 completely supplied 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 fashionable 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!

Finding the best vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Book your vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group 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 Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Tips for a great stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
