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 savor 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 beverage 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 golf carts. One is a four-seater and one is a two-seater; however, the two seater will likely be upgraded to a four-seater.

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 beautiful 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!

Strategies to get the best vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC 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.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best rental home in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Start by having your group agree to vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. 1 MINUTUE WALK TO BEACH FROM BHI BEACH FRONT HOME has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your family.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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 rental agreement! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your contract.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
