Situated 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 Fully-Stocked Kitchen includes Drip Coffee Maker/Slow Cooker/Griddle/Hand Mixer. For inspiration, flip through one of several cookbooks to determine which delicious meal you will prepare next. One of the standouts in the service ware are the beautiful 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 small propane grill is also on the back deck. A Full-Sized Propane Grill awaits your seafood caught or bought downstairs. You can serve your meals in the open air underneath the cottage 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 Large Screen Smart TV in the Living Area. With lots of comfortable seating, you can even watch the waves roll in across the street. The large Coffee Table is perfect 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 (several of local stories), a cup of coffee or a glass of wine & head downstairs to enjoy 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 cottage!
You will remember this beautifully coastal inspired cottage, the “Whale” of a good time you had & how a Little Sunshine helped you make memories to last a lifetime.

Relaxing and Fun!
I cannot overstate how lovely it is to sit on the deck, drink coffee and look at the ocean in this house! The house was clean, exactly as described and exactly what we needed. The thoughtful welcome bag with toiletries and helpful area guides was a huge plus. Lovely property, lovely management. Thank you!

House was great!! Well stocked, clean, and two steps from the beach! Loved that it had games to play inside and outside. In case you might of forgot It also had beach chairs, beach umbrella, and beach toys to bring over to the beach!! The only thing I was disappointed in was that it said there would be two bikes to ride, but I only saw one bike in there. No big deal though! I would definitely stay here again!

Great location!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this home. Everything was clean. Great location to near beach accesses. Enjoyed a lot of time on the front porch with a view of the ocean. Caution that the steps at the back of the house coming from the driveway side are SLIPPERY when wet! No gripped padding on them at all. A great vacation.

Terrible beds
Nice property but cleaning crew not up to par. Some steps need some tending to. Bad tv in the bedroom, needs replaced. Terribly uncomfortable beds in king rooms!
Basically nice place with a few little things to tweak as mentioned. Fabulous location

Holiday weekend stay
The house was super clean and well stocked, particularly the kitchen. Kid-friendly/simple to baby proof and appreciated the gates on the stairs for young children and dogs.
