A personal note from the owners:

Welcome to our little piece of Heaven, Palm Paradise! We live in Apex, North Carolina just outside of Raleigh and we have six kids ages 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 and 5, three boys and three girls. We have been coming to Bald Head Island for the past 8 years. We are so grateful that we found Bald Head Island when our kids were modest. They have had the chance to grow up coming here, there is no other place like Bald Head Island. It is a very special place for us.

When we step onto the Ferry we leave behind the chaos of our daily lives and Bald Head Island is a place we can be fully present. There is something special about having no cars and being fully immersed in nature that accepts you to breath and just be. As soon as we arrive our kids are off on their own exploring on their bicycles and appreciating freedom to be kids in nature. We spend our days at the beaches playing games, surfing and making sand castles, then we head over to the club and spend late afternoons playing in the pool, playground and sunbathing while grabbing some pre dinner snacks. We usually have something in the crockpot or eat dinner at one of the eateries at the club or marina. We round out our evenings with family games around the dining room table or we all sit on the humongous sectional and watch a movie together.

There's always a trip or two to the market and shopping is a regular stop for the girls at the four clothing stores, of which thier favorite is Island Passage. The ice cream stops are a daily bicycle ride for us all! My kids favorite is the loco pops at the marina while we watch the yachts roll in and out. The kids usually pair off and go on their own for these adventures. We often go watch the sunsets together and the teenagers appreciate these Instagram photos!

There is the weekly Turtle Trot 5k, which is open to everybody and benefits the Conservancy (plus you get a great t-shirt for participating). You can follow all of the turtle nest hatchings and excavations, which is an amazing opportunity for all ages to experience nature firsthand. There are bird outings, kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding, fishing and even nighttime rides to monitor the sea turtle nests with the interns. There are countless activities through the BHI Club as well, from kids' camps, to family games and holiday special events. After all of this activity, don't forget there is a full-service spa to pamper you, too!

Over the years we have created our rhythms of activities we do on the island, as well as peaceful time too. We spent time on the porch listening to the waves and watching the sunsets. Our little ones appreciate to climb the ancient oaks surrounding the home. This time with our family is priceless. When we are on the island time goes slower and is more intentional. We are so grateful to have this modest part of the island as our own and are excited to share it with you.

This is our vacation home, and we have prepared it to make it yours as well. We have rented many homes on the island, and have learned what we believe a great vacation home should have. We have worked hard to ensure our home has all the luxuries that we would want in an exceptional beach vacation home. As a parent of 6 I know what its like to haul all the stuff this sized family would need for a successful beach vacation and I have tried to minimize this for our guests.

Getting the best Southport rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, shift your family's Southport trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, 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 additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. NEW TO RENTAL MARKET Renovated and newly Furnished Welcome to Palm Paradise has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
