(3BR, 3 BA, 2Q, 2Tw, SLPs 6, 1 Golf Cart, Pet Friendly, Friday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK IN 3:30PM / CHECK OUT 9:30AM) If relaxing tableaus are what you seek, look no farther than Au Beau Marais! This very private, dog friendly Harbour Village charmer, located on a peaceful cul-de-sac, abuts Bald Head Creek, and astounds with spectacular marsh perspectives. As you step under the arbor, through the white picket-fenced yard, you’ll perceive gentle ocean breezes as you alight to the covered front porch and into the comfortable entryway of this reverse floor plan.

To the left you’ll find a sunny corner suite with two Twins and a full bath (with tub) which also opens onto the hall. Beyond, a light-filled bayed Queen bedroom, with a sliding door, grants access to a waterside covered porch and sun deck. This is the ideal spot for dipping toes or communing with the Island’s natural inhabitants.

At the end of the hall, the Queen Owner’s Suite’s two walls of glass doors delight with panoramas of sun shining off the water of the Island’s lavish marshes. Grab an Adirondack just outside on the semi-covered deck and while away the hours. This suite also homes a huge Master Bath with his and her vanities, a water closet, a shower, and a enormous walk-in.

A laundry completes this level. At the top of the stairs, a roomy kitchen overlooks the sun-drenched vaulted living and dining areas which are surrounded by windows. A infant sizable sits in a bright bay just across from the extravagant dining space. Nearby, the generous living area, anchored by a slated fireplace, is very inviting but what steals the show are the halcyon Island prospects everywhere you look. Savor these inside or on this level’s bowed, semi-covered porch. It’s an superb place to watch the morning sunrise or relax with an afternoon treat…and it even renders glimpses all the way to Sunny Point! So appealingly located and appreciating proximity to the marina, stores, and eateries-as well as providing a four-passenger cart for guest use and including WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, Au Beau Marais will assure you un Beau Moment (a good time) on your vacation!

The crofter is not part of the rental unit. An additional $300 nonrefundable pet fee is required for each guest dog.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Bald Head Island vacation property experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. Reserve your Southport rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book a perfectrental home:

• Start by having your family select dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Au Beau Marais: 3 BR, 3 BA House in Bald Head Island, Sleeps 6 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 counts & types is generally available online. If not, contact the host before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
