Relaxation, memories and happiness awaits - welcome to Searenity Now BHI.

Recent Updates to the home include 3 entirely remodeled bathrooms, newly painted throughout, ocean facing outdoor bar seating, new outdoor completely wooded common areas (walkways and driveway to the beach side).

As renters of many homes over the years, some really striking and others less so, we have taken the best of those experiences and applied them here so you have an exceptional vacation from initial booking through your stay. Should you book our home, we hope you make as many memories, smiles, and laughs as we have. Now, about the home...

- Reverse floor plan, open concept kitchen and living spaces with elevated ceilings and most importantly, broad 180 degree ocean vistas.

- Located directly across from a beach access (if you have never been to BHI, many homes, even those near the ocean, require you to load a cart and drive to a beach access. Our home is located directly in front of beach access #17, no loading and driving necessary!).

- Centrally located on the island, making trips to any attraction simple (BHI Club, Shoals Club, East Beach, the Market, the Marina), no trekking across the full island for anything.

- New beds, pillows and linens: 1 king, 2 queens (one with a twin trundle underneath), 1 bunk bed (with a full bed, twin bunk above, and twin trundle below).

- Each bedroom has its own dedicated full bathroom (three baths modernized in 2023), with a 1/2 bath upstairs.

- Both club memberships (BHI and Shoals Club) are available to purchase for your stay. * While typically not an issue, some new rules we do not control, established by each club, are in place to limit guest memberships week to week. Please contact the respective clubs to inquire about availability for your desired stay.

- Newer carts (see pics): 4 passenger lifted and 6 passenger high speed limo (Old or bad carts can make for a less than ideal experience on the island. While any machine can have moments and issues, ours are clean, safe, and regularly professionally maintained reducing hassles for you as much as we can control).

- New intelligent TV's in all the bedrooms (youtube TV and Netflix are supplied, you can load your account for Hulu, Disney+, etc).

- High speed internet and access points to help with Zoom or Teams meetings, remote learning, and streaming entertainment. We have NetGear Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh Routers in place and the highest internet speeds available on the island.

- Elevator servicing all floors.

- Over 1,500 square feet of decking, with screened porch off the master bedroom.

- Renovated kitchen with quartz counters, wine refrigerator, gas stove top, high end cutlery, Keurig AND drip coffee maker.

- Beach towels, sand toys for kids, 8+ beach chairs (high and low), and a no fuss Shibumi Shade are included to lighten the travel load of our guests.

- Laundry on the main level (the bedroom level).

- Adirondacks on all decks for calming moments.

- Hi power hair dryers in bathrooms so you can pack a little lighter.

- Special secondary commercial grade HVAC filtration (in addition to the usual HVAC filtration) to help fight/kill more airborne contaminants.

- Useful links for your convenience (bhiclub.net, shoalsclub.com, baldheadislandferry.com)

Tricks and tips for getting the best Bald Head Island rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in Bald Head Island. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Southport area travel guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, 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 shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best rental in Bald Head Island:

• Start by having your group select trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Searenity Now BHI - Spectacular Ocean Front Luxury Home, Sleeps 10 has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
