On a manicured lot located into Keepers Landing-just across from the community’s common area gazebo-you can hang loose at Surf Shack…a three-bedroom, 3.5 bath Bald Head Island gem. This Craftsman bungalow greets you with a covered rocking chair porch-ideal for lingering while appreciating briny breezes and birdsong. Inside, the open floor plan starts with a window-surrounded sitting area boasting plenty of natural light and multiple vistas of the Island’s resplendent Maritime Forest. You can snuggle here (watching a movie or playing one of the many games included) or step outside onto the home-length side screen porch and while away your time rocking while breathing in BHI’s serenity. Just steps down from the screened porch is a shrub-cloistered oversize deck with benches and chairs around a fire pit-just the spot for family s’mores! Back inside, the long, distressed-wood dining table affords places for six and is adjacent to the breakfast bar which offers even more seating. Chefs will delight in the kitchen’s handsome granite counters, stainless appliances and convenient close by pantry/laundry. This floor also homes a half bath. Upstairs, two bright bedrooms await. The first, with two twins, provides two closets, a desk and utilizes the ample full bath just across the hall. The substantial King Master also proffers a desk area as well as a sizable Master Bath with a granite his-and-her vanity, an oversize walk-in closet, a very enormous shower and a separate water closet. The third bedroom, located in the home’s crofter, not only grants plenty of privacy but presents a impressive Queen suite with a mini-refrigerator and full bath. This well-appointed property displays decorator touches everywhere-including hardwoods throughout, wainscoting, plantation shutters, tasteful art and fresh lighting fixtures. Located just mins. from Bald Head’s esteemed East Beach as well as the Shoals Club and the Conservancy, guests at Surf Shack may use the home’s two golf carts-a four- and a six-passenger. For an amped Island vacation (surfing lingo for “inciting excitement”), vacation at Surf Shack! This home does have a boat slip. If you would like to also rent the boat slip please contact reservations directly.

Strategies to get the perfect Bald Head Island rental home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your Wilmington, NC rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking the bestrental home:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Newly renovated Keeper's Landing Cottage! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If not, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
