CreekFront! Dock! Views! 5.5 Bedroom - Vacation rental home in Bald Head Island, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 12
• 5 Bedrooms
• 5 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Please note that we spend family time on BHI each summer and typically cannot commit to certain summer weeks being available until we finalize our extended family summer availability schedule, usually by March at which time we will show all available and unavailable weeks.

Our 5.5 bedroom home & crofter is great for two or three families (fits three families of 2+2 very comfortably). The bed configuration is:
Main 4BR House: 1. K, 2. Q, 3. T + T-Trundle, 4. T x 2,
Crofter: Q plus loft w/T x 2
If you are a multi-family group, the crofter (with a Queen plus a loft with two Twins) is great for a family with two kids that wants to both be with the group but also some privacy - it has a full bath, dorm refrigerator, microwave & coffee pot (ladder access loft in crofter, so loft is not for the very little ones).

For those who appreciate a meal at home, there is plenty of seating for all and our galley-style kitchen is entirely appointed with everything you'll need to make a memorable meal, complete with an unforgetable view.

Hop on one of our two LSV (Low Speed Car) street legal golf carts and you are at the beach in only mins.. (They will go 25+ MPH so please do not exceed the 18MPH BHI speed limit!) We spend time on the beach Every Single Day on BHI, and savor the open air golf cart ride there and back immensely BUT we also have the best of both worlds because we come home to the gorgeous and ever changing tapestry - that impressive Creek View. We think of it as an exceptional live painting that changes every day.

We enjoy watching Egrets, Ibis and Osprey from inside the home or while sitting in the broad screened porch. We watch our kids fish, crab, cast net, kayak and swim right out front daily. And what a treat to watch our 10 year old son dash straight out to the dock every morning for an hour or more barely remembering the existence of TV or video games.

We can walk left on the boardwalk out front and we are at the boat launch in about 2 mins.. Alternately we go the other way on the boardwalk with our first cup of coffee in hand every morning for an extraordinary and inspiring 10 min. creek view board-'walk'.

And, with simple access to the floating dock you can bring or rent your boat! Or, enjoy a paddle on the creek by canoe or kayak (an absolute favorite activity for our whole family). We have a canoe and kayaks that are available to use.

Come enjoy our family home on the creek, we think you will adore it as much as we do!

Please note that we spend family time there each summer and typically cannot commit to certain weeks being available until we finalize our summer schedule, usually by March at which time we will show all available and unavailable weeks.

Booking the best Bald Head Island vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the most suitable rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your family select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. CreekFront! Dock! Views! 5.5 Bedroom has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you are crazy about, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
