Mystical Marsh embraces nature’s majesty and provides discerning visitors the chance to really get away from it all. Located in the very private Middle Island community of Bald Head, this five-bedroom, 4.5 bath residence, hugged by live oaks and palms, spotlights awe-inspiring Bald Head Creek and Marsh vistas.

Outside, Mystical Marsh proffers a front rocking-chair porch and a screened porch, two ground-level decks, two back open porches and a rooftop/second floor deck-all ideal for estuary observation or relaxing moments appreciating whispering breezes, sea air and the Island's peaceful calm.

Inside, the home’s open floor plan and proliferation of windows take full advantage of light and nature's elegant tableaus. The living area is surrounded by a giant boxed bay set of windows. It is anchored by a decorative granite-faced fireplace and offers a comfortable setting for conversation as well as game-playing or movie-watching.

Adjacent, the dining space features a very sizable farm table which effortlessly accommodates ten. Beyond, the breakfast bar offers another four seats. The kitchen features stainless Jenn-Air appliances, a wine cooler and plenty of granite counter space for prepping delicious snacks. The first floor also includes a powder room and the King Primary suite with its own sitting area, private porch and ensuite with a jetted tub.

The home’s second level is accessible by both a front and back stairs. Up the back stairs, you’ll find a bunk room with two Twin bunk beds and a day bed. Beyond, up three steps, is a King bedroom with vaulted ceilings and covetous vistas. These share a close by full bath featuring a walk-in shower. Down the hall are a day bed (offering additional sleeping space) and another vaulted bedroom. The latter is furnished with Twin beds and delivers more spectacular marsh vistas. Across the hall is still another full bath with a tub/shower. The balcony tenders an office alcove-a great spot to get a little business done, if needed, and at the end of the hall is the upstairs Queen Owner Suite. Its location affords additional privacy. This chamber provides another ensuite with walk-in shower, a walk-in closet, access to a private porch and, of course, gorgeous creekscapes.

This residence’s additional amenities include a convenient location for going to close by esteemed East Beach, the Shoals Club or the Conservancy, the use of two golf carts, internet, an outdoor shower and WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends. If you seek the magical quietude of Bald Head’s Marsh and Creek, you’ll find it when you vacation at BHI’s Mystical Marsh!

Strategies to get the perfect rental home experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• June, July, and August are high season in Bald Head Island. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing the bestvacation home:

• Select your dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Mystical Marsh-for discerning vacationers who long for natural serenity has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your group.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
