We are a family of six (two boys and two girls), who relocated to NC from Florida just over 15 years ago. We took multiple family beach trips when we first moved here, and never felt like the beaches compared to what we left in FL. That is, until we discovered BHI just a few years ago. We fell in appreciate with the beauty and diversity of the island, and made it a goal to have a home here. Now we are excited to share this home with you...

Our home is ideal for families, couples, or even a get-away for just the guys/girls! It's conveniently located in the Maritime Forest, just mins. from Cape Fear Commons, the Conservancy, and the coveted East Beach. There is a calming outdoor spot to grille (one gas and one charcoal grille included) right in front of the home. There are two screened-in porches, one in the front and another in the back, where you can sit and relax, appreciating the sounds of the birds and the ocean breeze. The main living area has an refreshed kitchen , bar area, dining room, and a gorgeous living room. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom. One bedroom has 1 queen bed and the other has 2 twins and 2 trundles. The community has a wooden boardwalk, which can be accessed from the back porch.

Also supplied are bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, basic toiletries, beach chairs/umbrella, and a new pack and play and high chair. Your rental also comes with two golf carts, both 4 seaters. A Lifestyle Bald Head Island Club membership is attached to this home, and guest passes can be purchased directly from the club. If you choose to purchase, your guest passes will include access to the golf course, resort pool, croquet & tennis courts, and eateries.

We personally manage the units for our home, and appreciate developing a relationship with each renter. We are always available by text, phone, or e-mail and have on-island support staff to handle any issues that may arise during your stay. We are confident that you will be more than pleased with our home, and we're sure you will fall in adore with Bald Head Island, just as we have. We look forward to sharing our home with you!

Our top Rental home booking tips:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in Bald Head Island. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve 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 manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking the bestrental:

• First, have your group decide on vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Cozy & Coastal Cottage near East Beach *BHI Club available* has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you long to visit, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
