About this Property

  • 4 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home

10 Sumner’s Crescent, aka O’ACES, was remodeled in 2021, and features a new open kitchen and living area. The kitchen has granite counters, a full height granite backsplash, and waterfall edge. The counter has seating for 5. It has a high-end commercial, vintage style, iLve 5 burner gas range with a convection gas/electric oven and warming drawer. It also has a GE cafe French door, freezer bottom refrigerator, with an ice maker. The kitchen has a enormous stainless under-mount sink, a Quiet Bosch dishwasher with silverware shelf, and a garbage disposal.

The main home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry room on the first floor. There is also a long screened-in porch running the length of the back of the home with a door to it from each of those bedrooms.
The second floor is open concept, with the kitchen, dining area (comfortably seating up to 8), family room, gas (remote operated) fireplace, and game area. There is also a half bath & a deck with lounge chairs on the upper level.
The home has a separate crofter above the golf cart garage with an additional bedroom, bathroom & closet/mini-kitchenette. The crofter has its own deck with a seating area, shaded under an ancient oak tree.

The main home has a tankless hot water heater so that you, and everybody in your family, can take a long warm/hot shower on vacation without fighting over the hot water. A rare treat!

O’ACES is located adjacent to the BHI Conservancy, right by Mike’s Bites & Captain Charlie’s. It is just under 2 blocks to the Beach, between Beach Access 35 & Beach Access 36.
You can Walk to the Shoal’s Club, Beach Access 39, East Beach, Cape Fear Station, and much more!

2 of the bedrooms have King beds.
1 bedroom has a queen bed and 3 twin beds, bunked. There are also 2 blowup twin beds, and a portable crib.

The home has a separate garage, with 2 golf carts. One golf cart is included in the rental rate. There is an additional golf cart available for rent on a daily or weekly basis.
Both golf carts are 4 seaters. One is a 2012 Club Car & the other is a 2023 Bentelli with a back up camera & a cell phone charger.
There is an additional washer & dryer in the closet in the garage. We find it’s Great for sandy towels & bathing suits or Crofter laundry.

There is a private/enclosed outdoor shower behind the garage with plenty of hooks for all of your bathing suits, waders and towels.
There are other goodies in the garage and storage area behind it that you can borrow. (Bikes, a bicycle tire pump, golf cart blankets, beach chairs, beach toys, body boards, casting nets, crabbing nets, etc.)

We are members of the Shoal’s Club, so you can buy a temporary membership to it for your stat. Please note, that both clubs have added an administrative fee of $100 if your temporary membership is not processed 7-10 days before your arrival. Starting in 2022, the Clubs are now charging per person, per week for anyone 6 years and older using the Club (instead of the per bedroom charge covering the home). In high season & many holidays, the Shoal’s Club is closed to temporary members on Mondays & the BHI Club is closed to temporary members on Saturdays & Sundays. Shoal’s Club paperwork can be done directly on their website, and you can pay the club directly with your credit card at the time you sign up or by phone at least 7 days before you arrive. The Club’s website has information about the services, activities, and the dining options they offer. It is refreshed fairly regularly & changes frequently.

We were hoping to do Friday to Friday or Sunday to Sunday units in order to avoid Saturday to Saturday units which are so (maybe too) fashionable. We thought many guests might want to avoid the most trendy turnover day, for ease of ferry and tram reservations/booking, etc. The lines for the ferries are much more busy on Saturday. However, we are flexible if you prefer Saturday. We encourage you to consider Friday to Friday, another weekday, or Sunday.

Starting with the first week of June 2023, the ferry ticketing system has become electronic, with the ability to make reservations for each ferry. Here is a link to their website and frequently asked questions:
https://www.baldheadislandferry.com/faq-new/

You can also purchase electronic tickets by downloading their app, found by searching “bald head island” in the App Store. The tickets can be stored in your Apple wallet.


If you are flying into RDU or Wilmington ILM, and don’t want to rent a car just to leave it at the ferry parking lot (and pay for that daily parking), we have a list of drivers that can take you and your friends/family to and from ILM or RDU and the ferry. If you forget anything, or want to pick up some items that are not convenient to fly with, we have drivers that will stop on the way.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our home.
We welcome any questions you may have.

And now, “Things we thought we’d never need to write in the home instructions”
for $1,000, Alex:
1. Do not sit on the roof of the home or the crofter.
2. GOLF CARTS: Do not drive the golf carts on the beach or off road. Please be very mindful of the tires. Golf cart tires are not meant to be driven on streets in general, and there has been a lot of construction on the island lately, so there are nails and other sharp debris; drive carefully. You are responsible for any popped tires, and any unusual wear and tear to the tires. You must have a valid drivers’ license, and be 16 or older to operate a golf cart. Do not drive golf carts or bicycles under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Please hose off the golf carts when you are finished with them and remove any trash.
3. There is a hose by the garage, and another one by the front door, for your feet, your kids’s feet, your dog’s feet, and anything else that went to the beach that is not going to stay in the garage or outside.
4. Beach toys & Garage items: please feel complimentary to use any beach toys, beach chairs, beach towels, casting nets, etc. that you find, but please return them hosed off and where you found them. We are happy to share these items with you, but we can’t continue, if you don’t respect them. In the cooler months, there is a bin full of golf cart blankets to the left of the carts in the garage.
5. Please respect our games, books, china, crystal, and nice linens. We want to share these items with you, but we can only continue to do so if you return them how you found them in generally the same place. It’s painless if you take a photo.
6. If you choose to rearrange the furnishings, please put it back how you found it.
7. Please do not put food on the walls or under furnishings or beds.
8. All recycling should be taken to the recycling center by the dump and Public Safety, near the Market. Recycling is not picked up by the trash people on Bald Head Island. If you fill the outside trash bins, please go to the dump, which is located by Public Safety. The trash people will not pick up any excess trash.
Thanks!

Tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

Get the best rental value:

  • To get the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
  • The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
  • Property managers often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to pick the best rental in Bald Head Island:

  • First and foremost, have your family choose dates and a maximum budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Renovated Luxury home Sumner’s Crescent Walk to Mikes Bites, E. Beach & Shoal’s has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
  • Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
  • Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
  • Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
  • Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Advice for a terrific stay:

  • Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
  • Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
  • Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
  • Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
  • Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
