Sunshine is awaiting your arrival-head for the hammock or the beach

Sunshine is an updated Carolina beach cottage designed for small families and couples who love an easy going beach experience with decks that follow the sun, hammocks for naps, games and puzzles, and a lower level getaway with Foosball, electronic games, card table, and a big screen for movies or special ball games. There are three bedrooms on upper main level-two queens including master bedroom and one with adult size twin beds. The front den has a sleeper sofa. There is an en-suite bath in master bedroom and a second full bath in the hall. On the lower level there are two day beds in the game room plus a full bath with shower. The main level has a fully equipped kitchen plus a kitchenette in lower level. Besides the two hammocks, guests will enjoy a swing on the back porch or a swing out front on your way back from the beach.
Our street is a quiet street between the Beach Rd and the Rt. 158. It is ideal for jogs, walks, biking, and late evening strolls. Beach access is a short distance to your left out of the driveway to the Lillian Street access. It has a wonderful platform deck where you can enjoy beautiful sunrises with your coffee and or late evening moonlight ocean view. The second beach access is to your right at driveway with access over the dune at Starfish. Time to the beach is a four minute walk, that is once you get the gang organized to go!
Sunshine is our family beach home which has been shared with a few friends and family over the years. It has not been a rental program. I am placing it on VRBO because, as much as I would like, I can’t run away and live there, so I am making a limited number of weeks available for rental. There are not reviews available because there is not a rental history. If you would like to ask me questions to feel more comfortable with the rental, call me anytime.
We strive to maintain it well. It is not a “rental machine” so our goal is that our guests will find it in good order and clean upon arrival. I have my own housekeeper. Your linens, including beach towels, are included and will be there shrink wrapped in a rubber tub upon your arrival.
The laundry is located on the lower level adjacent to the outside shower. There is a full size washer and dryer with folding table. I keep some beach chairs , boogie boards, etc in the laundry but the inventory varies as the summer progresses.
There is a large outdoor shower. There is a charcoal grill and picnic table in the backyard for your use. The yard is naturalized which means going barefoot is not an option in the yard. We are close enough to the Atlantic that at times of serious weather, the ocean will breech the dune line and make it to our yard!
Ocean views are available from the second and third level decks and I have included pictures of the view. There is one home behind Sunshine between us and the Beach Rd and ocean. All of the homes on the ocean in our block were lost to hurricanes and nor’easters years ago!
It is located approximately 3.5miles south after you cross the bridge to OBX. You are located close to the north beaches including Duck, Corolla, and the wild horses. To the south, you will find the south beaches, Hatteras and Ocracoke. Those islands can be a great day trip. Fishing piers, groceries, and great restaurants and bars are near buy. Grocery supplies are readily available so need to pack in groceries- just your special ingredients. Choose from Food Lion, Publix, Harris Teeter or Super Walmart. I have a board in the hall with some notes and menus of local restaurants. Feel free to add a comment.
My goal is to provide my home to families and friends who want an easy week of relaxing beach time in a clean and comfortable environment. I am happy to answer your questions about Sunshine or the Outer Banks.
My biggest update this year is the finished lower level providing my guests with game room, two twin day beds, kitchenette, and a den area. It’s the perfect get away area to play games, watch the big game on tv, or just hide out!
