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. Recently refreshed in 2022, you can appreciate 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 enormous 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, 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 impressive 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 supplied 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 sizable, 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 very best Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Booking your Brunswick area vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Brunswick area area, The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the best rental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 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 rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If not, call the host before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you looking for unique 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 ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean 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 group have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
