Oh, my seashells! After a brief hiatus from the heaven that is Bald Head Island, we've realized our blunder and are thrilled to be back at our beloved getaway. Located in the tranquility of the maritime forest, we are serenaded by the symphony of crashing ocean waves just a stone's throw away from all the island luxuries - from shopping to ferry rides, and the impressive activities at the Bald Head Island Club. Our abode, the whimsically named "13 Dowitcher," offers a bird's eye view of the 6th fairway, surrounded by the enchanting wildlife of the lagoon and the melodious chirping of our feathered friends. With a completely-equipped kitchen, a pair of bicycles, and two kayaks tucked away at the creek, this comfortable bungalow features three bedrooms, including a private crofter ideal for older kids or a second couple. The unique reverse floor plan sets the living, dining, and kitchen spaces upstairs. Downstairs, you'll find a opulent master king suite and a guest bedroom equipped with a queen bed, twin bed, and bath. But wait, there's more! A separate crofter above the garage features an additional queen bed and bath. And for golf enthusiasts? Access to the BHI club with golf privileges is available for an additional fee.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Southport area. To get the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• First, have your family choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Lagoon view with private crofter centered on island close to amenities! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
