“Windansea" is an architectural beauty that greets you with coastal elegance at every turn. Life outside is where the true BHI memories are made, and this home provides it in abundance. You will be greeted by a southern lower level covered front porch where you can appreciate calming while listening to the ocean. Have coffee or drinks or take refuge from the sun or rain on the gorgeous second level porch. Outdoor living continues with the unique 3rd-story covered deck high above the tree-tops (affectionately called “the nest”) which is really an extended outdoor second “family room” where you will likely spend a significant amount of your time relaxing and socializing. It is equipped with an outside kitchen, cushy seating and ocean breezes and vistas. You will appreciate to use this hard-to-leave location for morning coffee, afternoon napping, meal grilling, evening drinks, and of course sunset watching. And if you want still more outdoor space, savor the two lower screened-in porches (one relaxing, one dining), multiple kid hangout places, and a private fenced-in yard.

Windansea is located on a private, sizable lot, surrounded by trees and natural vegetation just steps to the Ocean and Shoals Club. Between 212 and 214 Portsmouth Way you will find a wooden plank pathway that goes over the “hill" where you cross Station House Way to #41 Beach Access.

The home is laid out in a reverse floor plan with the primary living space on the second floor, which is at the tree-top level accepting for sunlight to cascade in from the sunrise to sunset. There are dual Master Bedrooms both with King-size Beds and ensuite Bathrooms giving you the choice to sleep downstairs (closer to younger kids) or upstairs (further from older ones). There are two Queen Guest rooms - one with a trundle bed and they share a Jack and Jill bathroom. And, if you need an escape or have a bigger group, there is a separate Crofter over the double Garage area that is the 5th Bedroom with a King Bed and an ensuite Bathroom, mini-refrigerator and counter. “Close but still away” is how we like to describe this private space. The Crofter Deck is a ideal spot for stargazing after a relaxing day at the beach.

The main living area is open, grandiose and can hold tons of people at any one time, making family gatherings super simple and all inclusive. The entirely supplied Gourmet Kitchen will allow the chef in your group to make memorable meals for all to enjoy while dining at the XL dining table.

In true BHI fashion, comfortable spaces mesh effortlessly with high end finishes - 10’+ ceilings, enormous Bedrooms, constructed-ins, this high-end bespoke home construction has it all to make your BHI vacation a great one. Additional amenities include beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, beach toys and a gas grille. There are two carts - a six passenger, and a four passenger for your use.

Windansea's namesake is from another well-known beach from the owner's original hometown of La Jolla, California and is definitely a home that will enhance your family vacation and help you create lasting memories for years to come..

Bald Head Island rental home tips:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Bald Head Island. To get the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose and book your prefect Southport vacation home:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Stunning 5BR 4.5 BA Home Steps to E Beach BHI and Shoals Clubs Pet Friendly has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Southport destination you simply love, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
