We're adjacent to the Bald Head Island Club so you have a short walk or a one-min. golf cart ride to appreciate all the amenities there, which include multiple pools with splash pads and slides, a playground, golf, tennis, exercise facility, croquet, casual dining poolside at Horizons and fine dining inside the club. Our home is also just mins. to the Maritime Market, Shoals Club, as well as all of the fun activities on the island.

The first floor features 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a laundry area, and a kid's lounge with a 65" SmartTV and comfortable couch (accepting the adults peaceful time upstairs!). Our home sleeps 10, but we have a home rule of a max of 6 adults. The kids' lounge has a enormous bay window and access to the porch. There are constructed-ins with toys and games for all ages. The first master has a king-size bed and ocean vistas. You can access the covered porch from the master and relax in the rocking chairs while listening to the waves! The opulent attached bath has a sizable double vanity with quartz countertops and an upsized tiled shower. The second master also has a king bed and attached bath with quartz vanity and tiled shower. Both masters also include 55" SmartTVs. The third bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk room. The bunk room has one twin-over-twin and one twin-over-full bunk bed (sleeps 4-5 kiddos).

The second floor is a completely open concept that flows onto a huge covered porch with impressive ocean vistas. This is the ideal place for appreciating calming dinners! The kitchen includes bespoke cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a huge center island, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, wine refrigerator, and walk-in pantry. The dining area has a sizable table with seating for 8 in addition to seating for 4 at the island. There is a comfortable sitting room -- ideal for reading a book or watching the sunsets.

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Bald Head Island. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself.

More tips for your stay:

• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share 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 property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
