You may purchase a temporary membership under our Lifestyle membership at both the Shoals Club and Bald Head Island Club. We strongly recommend you look into the clubs as they have really excellent amenities. Shoals Club sets out beach chairs and umbrella for members, and offers pools and eateries. Bald Head Island Club has sports like croquet, tennis, golf, etc., great pools for kids and eateries. This is a separate purchase that you coordinate directly with the club.
Once you have booked the home with us, go to these respective links to request a temporary guest membership with the club of your choice. Do not wait as they process these in advance and will cap temporary memberships! We will need to authorize your temporary membership under our full Lifestyle membership. Accordingly, you are responsible for any damages or infractions at the Clubs. Be sure that you submit the form to the club in advance, as there may be a fee for requests with less than 5 days notice.
Bald Head Island Club- https://www.bhiclub.net/guest-memberships (this one is finished online)
Shoals Club- https://shoalsclub.com/documents/10180/1332699/2021+Temp+Member+Form (this one you will print, complete and send to us for signature before submitting to Shoals Club)
A few notes about Club changes for 2022. They have changed dates when renters can access the clubs. Some dates/times are for permanent members only. Also, they capped how many temporary rental memberships are available, so request this ASAP before they sell out! Payment is now based on per person instead of per bedroom. Lastly, they are now capping the number of individual temporary members per home, and our home's cap is 8. If you have more than 8 guests, not all can use the club. I strongly suggest contacting the club to ask your questions and get clarification. Unfortunately, we do not know all of the details, and calling or emailing the club is your best bet.

Visit the club websites and the BHI Conservancy to learn more about the island's various pools, golf, kids camps, kids dissection classes, nature walks and more! Our family has really adored their amenities. The historic Old Baldy light home also offers a chance for a birds eye view of the island, while water crafts are also an option for those who appreciate sailing, kayaking and more.

If you are looking to book numerous homes for a bigger group, we can help connect you with our two neighboring homes, essentially booking the private cul-de-sac for your group. (Several families in need of bigger space choose to rent out 2-3 of the homes for the week)

*Notes*
Book the tram early as prime times are taken quickly!! For reservations, your address is 7 Spikerush Court.
A modest starter kit with a roll of paper towels, toilet paper for each restroom, 1-2 dishwasher and laundry pods, is supplied.

This is a non-smoking property. The homeowner has serious allergies to tobacco products, and therefore we can not allow any smoking or vaping on the property (indoors or outdoors). Thank you for understanding how important this is for us.

We provide one 4 seater golf cart and one 6 seater golf cart.

We have two exterior audio/video cameras for added safety of guests and security while the home is vacant. One covers the garage entry and a second covers the front door.

We support our military, and as a modest token of appreciation, we will provide a 10% discount to the first 2 military families bookings per year (proof of ID required). Thank you for your service!

Unfortunately, family pets are not allowed. The owner's doodles do occasionally visit.

Items available at the home (note this inventory is taken at the beginning of the season.

Strategies to get the optimal vacation property experience:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to reserve a Bald Head Island rental home:

  • In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
  • Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to pick the perfect rental in Bald Head Island:

  • To start, have your family agree to a vacation week and a max budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Your Bald Head Island updated 3 bdrm, with tons of porch space, Shrimp ‘n Grits! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
  • Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
  • If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
  • Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Have a great stay:

  • Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few problems.
  • Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
  • To make sure that no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
  • Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean 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 feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
