As renters of many homes over the years, some really exceptional and others less so, we have taken the best of those experiences and applied them here so you have an exceptional vacation from initial booking through your stay. Should you book our home, we hope you make as many memories, smiles, and laughs as we have. Now, about the home...

- Reverse floor plan, open concept kitchen and living spaces with elevated ceilings and most importantly, broad 180 degree ocean vistas.

- Located directly across from a beach access (if you have never been to BHI, many homes, even those near the ocean, require you to load a cart and drive to a beach access. Our home is located directly in front of beach access #17, no loading and driving necessary!).

- Centrally located on the island, making trips to any attraction simple (BHI Club, Shoals Club, East Beach, the Market, the Marina), no trekking across the full island for anything.

- Newer beds, pillows and linens: 1 king, 2 queens (one with a twin trundle underneath), 1 bunk bed (with a full bed, twin bunk above, and twin trundle below).

- Each bedroom has its own dedicated full bathroom (three baths refreshed in 2023), with a 1/2 bath upstairs.

- Both club memberships (BHI and Shoals Club) are available to purchase for your stay. * While typically not an issue, some new rules we do not control, established by each club, are in place to limit guest memberships week to week. Please contact the respective clubs to inquire about availability for your desired stay.

- Newer carts (see pics): 4 passenger lifted and 6 passenger high speed limo (Old or bad carts can make for a less than ideal experience on the island. While any machine can have moments and issues, ours are clean, safe, and regularly professionally maintained reducing hassles for you as much as we can control).

- New intelligent TV's in all the bedrooms (youtube TV and Netflix are included, you can load your account for Hulu, Disney+, etc).

- High speed internet and access points to help with Zoom or Teams meetings, remote learning, and streaming entertainment. We have NetGear Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh Routers in place and the highest internet speeds available on the island.

- Elevator servicing all floors.

- Over 1,500 square feet of decking (NEW IPE for 2025).

- Renovated kitchen with quartz counters, wine refrigerator, gas stove top, high end cutlery, pods AND drip coffee maker.

- Beach towels, sand toys for kids, 8+ beach chairs (high and low), and a no fuss Shibumi Shade are supplied to lighten the travel load of our guests.

- Laundry on the main level (the bedroom level).

- Adirondacks on all decks for calming moments.

- Hi power hair dryers in bathrooms so you can pack a little lighter.

- Special secondary commercial grade HVAC filtration (in addition to the usual HVAC filtration) to help fight/kill more airborne contaminants.

- Useful links for your convenience (bhiclub.net, shoalsclub.com, baldheadislandferry.com)

How to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and picking the best Wilmington, NC rental:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Searenity Now BHI - Spectacular Ocean Front Luxury Home, Sleeps 10 has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
