Located between two unspoiled beaches in the Cape Fear Station of Bald Head Island, NC--Our home offers a peaceful and modern hideaway from everyday life. It is located in the enchanting maritime forest with painless access to two pristine beaches and the Bald Head Island conservancy.

This location offers guests the opportunity to experience nature and still savor refreshed amenities. You will have simple access to miles of hiking, cycling and running trails. If you wish, the option to purchase temporary membership at the close by opulent Shoals Club is also available.

When you arrive, swing open the white-picket fence and walk down the cozy boardwalk toward the Nantucket-inspired bungalow. On the way, there is an outdoor shower and access to a "tree home" style guest bungalow with a queen-size bed and ensuite. At the main home, the screened in porch offers a place to play cards, appreciate thoughtful conversation, breathe in the salty, fresh air, and listen to the symphony of nature--tree frogs, relaxing surf, and cicadas guaranteed. Al fresco dining an option. Gas-grille available.

Enter a welcoming kitchen with stainless steel appliances connected to an intimate dining area which comfortably seats 6 (including a comfortable constructed-in window seat).

Pass by the constructed-in bookcase to a cavernous family room with sizable windows, light wood floors, and flat screen TV. Oak furnishings, a cozy sectional couch, and a whimsical wicker coffee table invite you to relax after a hard day of play.

Upstairs offers, two bedrooms (each with private bathrooms) and washing machine & dryer. One king-size bed and one queen-size bed.

The front porch has access to a calming boardwalk to enjoy nature among palmettos, a community gazebo, ancient oaks, and Spanish moss. Follow the sounds of the surf and experience a spectacular sunrise on East Beach. Or check-out the educational programs available at the Nature Conservancy. The sea turtles are their specialty!

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday 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 be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Welcome to High Tides and Good Vibes has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper 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:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
