About this Property

• Sleeps 10
• 3 Bedrooms

• Private vacation home

Welcome to your BHI beach front escape! Starrush Sanctuary is 3 BR 3.5 bath beach front home that is ideal for your calming family hideaway to BHI. Don't want to lug kids and supplies in golf carts to the beach? You've found your place. This home is directly across from a public beach access. You can hear the waves crash from the front porch where you can appreciate your morning coffee.

This property underwent a full-scale remodel in summer of 2024. As you can see from the photos, the renovation was comprehensive and resulted in a clean, inviting, environment.

This home is the ideal size for two families. Note that while the home sleeps 10 people, she's best suited for two families with 4 adults and 4-6 kids.

The first-floor bedroom is sizable and holds full beds and a twin trundle. The bathroom is enormous and completely refreshed. The top floor contains two rooms. One holds a queen and is very peaceful. The second room is the "master" room with a queen bed that faces the ocean, and this room can see the ocean over the dune. If your dream is to wake up to see the ocean, you are in the right place. Both upstairs rooms contain "en suite" bathrooms.

The front porch is a dream that has seating that faces the ocean for your ideal sunset drink or meal while hearing the ocean waves crash. There is also a screened in porch in the family room that is ideal for morning coffee or relaxing.

This property does have access to the BHI club for an additional cost. You sign up through the BHI club website and the property will appear. The property does come with 2 four seater golf carts. Both are in great working condition.

Other than the property being close to the beach, it is in very close proximity to the BHI Club clubhouse and the port where the ferry arrives. The location could not be better for your late evening drives to the clubhouse for dinner or arriving on the tram after a long travel day. The location of this property on the island is second to none and is probably one of the most handsome features of the property.
There are four bicycles that are there for your use and pack and plays for young kids(and a high chair).
You have found your beach getaway for your summer trip!

Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC 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 the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. 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 articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 1 MINUTUE WALK TO BEACH FROM BHI BEACH FRONT HOME has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your family.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your agreement.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
