Only 200 steps down your private boardwalk, the warm sands of Bald Head Island's South Beach await when you stay at Dune Eden, an executive oceanfront getaway providing five bedrooms/5.5 baths and spectacular seascapes inside and out.

The main home and crofter are cloistered around an entrance courtyard. The main home's first level homes the garages and egress to the beach access. Up the stairs, the next level proffers a deep, covered TREX wraparound porch, bayed on the oceanside and furnished with a dining set as well as seating for conversation or serene contemplation of the unobstructed Atlantic vistas.

From here, you can take the spiral staircase to the upper sundeck or enter inside. Within, this floor reveals crafted, bespoke details around every corner-from the handsome Cypress wainscoting to the plank floor and original art. The three bedrooms on this level start with a roomy twin which utilizes the convenient hall full bath. The first roomy King suite renders pretty water tableaus, direct porch access and includes a comfortable private sitting area as well as a spa-like bath with a sunken jetted tub, separate tile shower, water closet and his/her vanities. The second King suite also delights with its own en suite. A centrally-located family room completes this floor and tenders a wet bar, loads of constructed-ins, a decorative fireplace and porch access.

The home's top level's open floor plan is accentuated by soaring shiplapped ceilings, walls of windows showcasing dazzling Atlantic panoramas and loads of warm sunlight. The cavernous, cozy living area is anchored by another decorative huge fireplace with a massive Pecky Cypress distressed wood mantel. The hub of the indoor dining space, located in an oversize bay that provides shimmering vistas from every angle, is a bespoke compass table seating eight under a chic shell chandelier. Dine here or al fresco, through the door to the sun deck, where yet another dining set and conversation area offer Atlantic breezes as well as seascapes. Back inside, beyond the dining area, a mammoth quartz island provides breakfast bar seating at each end, a professional Viking gas prepare top in the middle and plenty of prep space in-between. From the wet bar and wine cooler to the professional Viking stainless appliances-this kitchen is a gourmet's delight!

The upper oceanfront King Owner's suite on this level affords a refuge with its private sitting area, porch access and extravagant spa-like
ensuite. The home's crofter provides another separate sanctuary in the form of a Queen suite with not only a full bath but also a wet bar and mini refrigerator. There is no WiFi in the crofter of this home. The property includes use of two golf carts. For a little piece of heaven on Bald Head, book your stay at Dune Eden.

How to book the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• To get the best rental within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
