Welcome to the Timbercreek 6A, also known as “THE VIEW”. TC 6A is a newly modernized condominium, three-bedrooms plus a sleeping loft, on Bald Head Island. Many years ago, a long time Bald Head Islander told us that we had the most spectacular marsh view on the Island. We’ve now owned our place at Timbercreek for over twenty five years and have never seen a better view. From our top floor screen porch, looking west, you see the BHI Marina, Cape Fear River and Southport. Looking east, down the tidal marsh, you see the homes on East Beach that face the Atlantic. Ahead of you, looking north, is a striking panorama …… 10,000 acres of tidal marsh, the meandering Bald Head Creek, Middle Island and other modest pine islands. When we first came to Bald Head Island in 1989, we rented at Timbercreek. Sitting on the screen porch that first evening, we witnessed a charming full moon rising over the marsh. This is magical, we thought. The next day, we learned that Timbercreek 6A was for sale. The rest is history. It’s still magical.

Timbercreek 6A was remodeled in 2010 – 2011. The new kitchen with granite counters is a thing of beauty. The two bathrooms were completely redone with granite-topped vanities and tiled showers. There are new interior doors, new lighting, new rugs, a new dining table and a new 50-inch T.V. that fits generously in the new bespoke cabinet. The following amenities are yours with a Timbercreek 6A rental:

• A sizable screen porch with rockers and a expansive view
• A separate sun deck for morning coffee and sunbathing
• Three bedrooms with 1 king, 1 queen and 2 twin beds
• A loft with 2 twin beds and a second TV (great for the kids)
• All linens and bath towels are supplied
• Two refreshed full bathrooms with elegantly tiled showers
• A completely equipped, newly updated kitchen
• A crib and high chair for little ones
• A 50-inch TV with digital cable and wireless Internet
• A four person golf cart and six-person golf cart with a cover for cool or rainy days
• Four kayaks, four bicycles, and body boards, beach chairs and an umbrella
• An optional temporary membership in the Bald Head Island Club and/or the Shoals Club. Each Club has an additional weekly fee for a temporary membership, which varies depending on the time of year.
• A full cleaning on departure is supplied in the rental price
• An on-Island manager for your convenience
• Pet friendly for an additional pet fee

Your vacation on Bald Head Island has so many possibilities. A few examples: cycling, hiking, kayaking, birding, sun bathing, ocean swimming, pool swimming, shelling & beach combing, body boarding, body surfing, fishing, crabbing, walking the nature trails, walking the Point at low tide, turtle walks led by the BHI Conservancy. Or just put your feet up and relax.

There are no cars on Bald Head Island. You park your car at the ferry lot on the mainland and use a golf cart while on the Island. Our screen porch is one of the most relaxing places on the Island. We regularly see egrets, ibis, osprey, herons and other shore birds as well as the occasional painted bunting or dolphins in the creek. Leave your cares on the mainland and come to a magical island.

Telephone or e-mail us for more details. We do use an on-Island agent/manager to manage your check-in, the security deposit or damage insurance (at your option) and cleaning to make sure your vacation goes off without a hitch.

Strategies to get the perfect Southport vacation home experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• To start, have your family commit to dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 'The View' - Rent the Most Spectacular View on Bald Head has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you love, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
