It also features a sizable island with seating for four that's ideal for breakfast and casual bites.

Nearby, the handsome dining area comfortably accommodates eight and delights with serene vistas of Mother Nature. Its sliding doors open to let in gentle coastal breezes and provide access to the generous screened porch, just the place for a sunset drink or to spot an occasional deer.

Down a peaceful hallway, this level also homes two pampering suites. The first is a comfortable, peaceful Queen with its own full bath with a tub/shower. The other is the cavernous, sunshine-filled Primary King suite with a California closet and spa-like full bath with a tiled walk-in shower. The main floor also offers a powder room for guests and a dedicated laundry.

Upstairs, a bright, balconied hall overlooks the living area. Its shelves are supplied with local guides, kids's books, and puzzles—ideal for peaceful moments between beach outings or rainy-day fun.

This fun space includes four constructed-in bunk beds, playful ship's lights, and hatch-style windows. Bean bag seating adds a laid-back hangout vibe, making it an painless flop zone for the younger crew. Across the balcony, the second Primary suite, a Queen, provides a roomy closet, full ensuite bath, and direct access to its own sunny deck—ideal for morning stretches or a peaceful read in the afternoon light.

Centrally located within walking distance to the Market and appealing local stores and just mins. to the beach, this property includes the use of: a six-passenger and a four-passenger golf cart, a gas grille, an outdoor shower, high-speed internet and access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends.

Booking the best vacation property experience:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to book:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking yourrental:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. The Corsair-a pet-friendly, five-bedroom, 4.5-bath Maritime Forest retreat! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
