IF YOU WANT TO SPEND YOUR VACATION AT THE BEACH, SHOULDN’T YOU SPEND IT AT THE BEACH?


Blue Moon on Bald Head Island is the ideal beach home to feel at one with nature


The expansive vistas are nearly impossible to beat:
Look to the left and see the legendary Frying Pan Shoals of Cape Fear.

Look to the right and witness lavish sunsets and humongous ships sailing in and out of port.

Look straight ahead and watch dolphins frolicking and pelicans diving for dinner.

Look up and be captivated by an unbelievable nighttime sky, frequented by shooting stars and sightings of the Milky Way.
Feel the cool ocean breeze. Smell the salt air. Let the sound of the waves lull you to a peaceful nighttime's sleep.


The beach access is directly in front of the home, not down a winding boardwalk or road as is often found with other oceanfront homes. This handsome stretch of beach is usually only spotted with a few other people and it is common to have it all to yourself.


If you forgot your sunscreen or need a cold drink, it just takes a min. to run back to the home and get whatever you need. There are also plenty of beach chairs, sand toys and body boards stored on the porch for your simple access and enjoyment

Why load up a cart to haul everything to the beach? If you are thirsty, it is just a few steps back to the home. If one member of your group needs a break from the sun, he can relax in the swing on the lower porch. Infant needs a nap, but you don’t want to leave the beach, hang out on the upper deck and see the ocean while still in earshot. Rather than having to work your way around others at the fashionable public accesses, you will often find the handsome stretch of beach in front of the home all but empty.


From the balcony, you can watch the sun rise with your first cup of coffee and watch it set with a cool evening drink. As one guest wrote, 'Your home is impressive... you have to be here to believe the memorable view!'


With vaulted ceilings and a bright cheery interior, the living and dining area is a great place to hang out with the family at the end of the day. The cabinets are outfitted with books for both adults and kids, games and plenty of movies. The kitchen has all the equipment to prepare your meals, right down to cookbooks and a spice rack. You can even watch the waves crash on the beach as you make dinner. Prepare breakfast and walk right out to the upper deck to savor it along with the spectacular ocean view.


Downstairs, both the Master bedroom and Queen guest room lead out to a screened-in porch with a swing, rockers, and a picnic table and they offer beautiful vistas of the dunes and beach. The Master bedroom has a King bed, sizable closet, sitting area, T.V. and private bathroom. The 3rd bedroom with twin beds is a favorite with the kids and also comes with a closet filled with toys. A 2nd full bathroom is on this floor.


The home is ideally designed for a family, couples or a group of adults just looking to get away from it all. We have great pride of ownership and follow a rigorous maintenance routine to keep Blue Moon in a condition that consistently exceeds our guests' expectations. It is our goal to offer an extraordinary vacation experience. We provide a thorough information packet to help you prepare for and appreciate your trip and welcome any and all questions about Blue Moon and Bald Head Island.

Strategies to get the optimal rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To get the best value, change your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. OCEANFRONT w\/DIRECT BEACH ACCESS. Complete renovation ‘24 - BHIC and Shoals has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to propel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
