From the moment you board the passenger ferry on the mainland, you'll feel that a special experience awaits you when you arrive at Bald Head Island. This golfcart-only heaven provides a unique vacation experience for all ages. Feel it from our delightful home – Ibis Perch is a three-bedroom home located alongside the Bald Head Island Creek, with one of the most gorgeous vistas of the sunrise over the marsh that you'll find on the island. We've newly purchased this striking home, made a few upgrades, and now we are ready to share our Happy Place with you!

Sit back on the back porch and savor the grand sunrise each morning while listening to the wildlife. This is a reverse floor plan home with the main living, dining, kitchen, and half bath on the 2nd floor. Take advantage of the huge broad windows overlooking the handsome marsh view and savor the fresh breezes while appreciating morning coffee while watching the sunrise on the deck. On the first floor, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, along with a full laundry room. The king master suite is cavernous and comfortable, with a sitting area inside and a screened porch – marvelous vistas of the marsh can be seen from anywhere in the bedroom or screened porch (and there are blackout curtains in case you want to sleep in without the sunrise!). The second and third bedroom share a bath. One guest room has a queen while the other consists of two twins.

This family-friendly home is located on a peaceful cul-de-sac with only 3 other homes. We provide a infant gate to block the stairs so everybody can appreciate the upstairs open concept floorplan. We have games for all ages, puzzles and books available to enjoy. While we think you'll be watching sunrises and wildlife more than TV. Spectrum cable and Wifi are included, and all TVs are Intelligent TVs so you can log into your favorite streaming services with no problem. We have a Pack-N-Play and a booster seat available for our youngest guests.

2 4-passenger golf carts are supplied with your rental. Ibis Perch is located less than a mile from Old Baldy and the harbor area. It's a fast walk, bicycle ride or golf cart ride to the island boat ramp, where you can kayak or paddleboard in the marsh creek – and see Ibis Perch from a different view! Kayaks and paddleboards can be rented on BHI – just ask if you'd like more information.

Beaches are a short golf cart ride away, where you can enjoy a day in the sun and sea, as well as memorable sunsets. There are public access points all around the 13 miles of pristine beaches, so discover the island and the many different beach experiences. Our home does provide you with 3 bicycles, 6 beach chairs, and a variety of beach toys (including Bocce Ball). Bikes can be rented on BHI if you need more – just ask if you'd like more information. You can also bring your own bicycles on the ferry over with you!

We have a well-equipped kitchen outfitted with your essentials. We also have a gas grille, and a sizable stockpot if a crab boil is your thing! The basics – paper goods, soap and dish detergent – will also be supplied to you. You'll have access to blender, tea kettle, coffee maker (makes single cup or full pot), hand mixer and food processor, as well as all silverware, pots, pans and cooking supplies needed. Linens and towels are included with the rental, and we have a supply of beach towels in the laundry room as well (you're welcome to use them, but your rental agreement will indicate you are responsible for laundering and returning to the laundry cabinet).

Tricks and tips to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and pick the bestrental:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Large windows taking in the marsh views on BHI; reverse floor plan and large deck for views! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is best for your family.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? 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 could be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
