Accessible only by passenger ferry boat, 20 mins. from the mainland USA, our home 'Shoes Off' on charming Bald Head Island is the ideal getaway for your family hideaway. Over 180 degree vistas of South Beach and the Atlantic Ocean from two stories of giant decks, golf course vistas to the rear and just 38 steps to the boardwalk beach access. Walk to the Bald Head Island Club, offering gourmet and casual dining, championship golf, tennis, kid friendly pool with a waterslide, championship Croquet Greensward and Adult Only Pool. Also within walking distance from Shoes Off is a sizable kids's playground, sand volleyball court and day camp facilities at the Bald Head Island Club. . Shoes Off is a family home with the focus on just that…..Family. Bald Head Island is the most family friendly place we've ever been. Units also have the option of temporary memberships to BOTH the Bald Head Island Club and the Shoals Club that can be purchased separately directly through the clubs. The Shoals Club is located on the southeast tip of the island, where the convergence of South and East Beaches form the “Point” of Cape Fear, one of the most handsome ocean vistas on the USA's Atlantic coast. You can literally stand on a two-foot wide point of sand, with waves coming from both the southwest and northeast, on the very tip of the Cape. Supplied to all Shoes Off guests with our compliments are linens, bath and beach towels, bath tissue, paper towels and trash bags. We have a well-equipped kitchen with service for 10 people and seating for even more. We maintain an open guest cabinet in the kitchen with an array of cooking spices, oil, coffee filters and more. We've rented beach homes in the past that were completely void of most everything………Not a paper towel, salt-shaker or roll of TP in sight. We are pleased to offer you the opposite of that. Just bring your bathing suit, your flip-flops, your favorite refreshment, your iPad/Pod and a good book. Our home is designed on a reverse floor plan with living, cooking dining, screened porch areas and magnificant ocean vistas on the 3rd floor. The home features two master suites, and two other bedrooms on the 2nd level, all with direct deck access and ocean vistas from each bedroom. One bedroom is specifically arranged for kids, featuring TWO sets of bunk beds, sleeper couch, some toys, Spectrum Cable and Apple TV for streaming. We also provide one high-chair and two Pack & Plays. On the deck, just outside of the 3rd floor kitchen/living area door is a 48” stainless steel gas grille than can handle outdoor cooking for the biggest of families or groups. We offer huge flat screen monitors and Spectrum cable TV in all of the bedrooms. The 3rd floor living area features a 55" LED TV, Spectrum cable, Apple TV and a Bose Lifestyle System audio home theater with Bluetooth audio connectivity. Wireless internet access is supplied throughout the home, with a signal that can reach the beach if that's of interest. The fishing from the beach is sometimes superb to impressive. We recommend that you unplug instead and take a fishing rod!

We provide BIKES (tons of bicycles) for kids and adults, a infant jogger, kids bicycle trailer, TWO bicycle tandem attachments, beach chairs, some beach toys, a few kites, sand spikes for your fishing rods and a full size beach umbrella or two. Plus, a handy aluminum, fat tire cart to haul your beach event across the beach access and over the delightful dune. The loop road behind Shoes Off (Snowy Egret and Black Skimmer) is a marvelous place for kids to bicycle and skate safely in an area with virtually no traffic. Two of our kids learned to ride bicycles there. Two of our kids's bicycles have training wheels available. The entire Island is also a fantastic place to walk, jog, bicycle and skate. Some contractor cars are allowed on the roads during the weekdays but you'll mostly just see and hear the peaceful hum of the occasional electric golf cart passing by. We can provide you with information for kids's day camps at the Bald Head Island Club and the Bald Head Island Conservancy. Both offer terrific kids's programs and can provide Mom and Dad with a few hours of tranquility and peaceful, one of the real beauties of a vacation on Bald Head Island. Vehicular transportation on the island is limited to golf carts. We offer one 6-seat cart and one 4-seat convertible golf cart The photographs of Shoes Off hardly do the place justice. It's simply an fantastic home for your family and friends to relax, relax, getaway and recharge. Bald Head Island is unto itself. Come and feel for yourself. You've never seen the sunset like you will see it from our 3rd floor deck. We hope to have you as our guest soon. Steve, Madeline, Maxwell and Eleanor.

Strategies to get the best rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. 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 articles, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and pick your prefectrental:

• First and foremost, have your family select trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Beautiful Ocean views Family Friendly 4Bd/4Ba has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation group.
• 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Know before you go:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
