Located on a picket-fenced, private corner lot in esteemed Cape Fear Station, this bespoke-constructed fivebedroom, five-bath Charleston-style getaway, is an simple walk to Bald Head’s fashionable East Beach and offers Maritime Forest serenity just steps from Access 42. The deep front porch welcomes you to linger and listen to the sound of breaking waves.

Inside, the entry of this reverse-floorplan reveals some of its bespoke details-including hardwoods and wainscoting. To the right, a light-filled corner Queen suite with desk proffers a sizable ensuite bath with a walk-in closet, water closet, jetted tub, tiled shower and double granite vanity. Next door, a sunny suite with two Twins grants forest vistas and its own full bath with a tub/shower. Across the hall, another bright corner Queen suite also provides a walk-in closet and ensuite full bath with a tub/shower. Upstairs, the Queen Primary suite features not only a walk-in California closet and ensuite with a tub/shower but also accesses one of the home’s top-level screened porches…the ideal spot for a peaceful read appreciating briny breezes.

Beyond, this level’s living space’s open floor plan is crowned by a high, vaulted, beamed ceiling and soaked in natural light from its surrounding windows. The comfortable conversation area is anchored by a gas fireplace and tenders naturescapes on all sides plus egress to both second-story screened porches. Nearby the generous dining space is furnished with a chic dining set. Savor meals and outdoor vistas from here or by dining alfresco on the home’s dining deck-located between the main home and the crofter. The chefs’ kitchen delights with stainless appliances, granite counters, a double sink, breakfast bar, a designer backsplash and impressive bespoke cabinets. This floor also homes the laundry.

For those preferring more privacy, the home’s crofter-just down the boardwalk and adjacent to the deck-extends a vaulted Queen suite with serene treetop vistas, a full bath with a pedestal tub and its own private balcony. Conveniently located, close to the beach, the Shoals Club and the Conservancy, equipped with handsome bicycles for tooling around the Island, and providing access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, The Hermitage is ideal for your Island vacation hideaway!

Finding the best vacation property experience:

Find your best deal:

Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Summertime is high season in Bald Head Island. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates 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 group.
Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Find a copy of 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 information, travel guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Maritime Forest retreat close to East Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
Is your family looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
Suitable accessibility can make or ruin 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.

Tips for a smooth stay:

Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Go through the property one 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 host is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
Did you have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
