We are a family of six (two boys and two girls), who relocated to NC from Florida just over 15 years ago. We took multiple family beach trips when we first moved here, and never felt like the beaches compared to what we left in FL. That is, until we discovered BHI just a few years ago. We fell in adore with the beauty and diversity of the island, and made it a goal to have a home here. Now we are excited to share this home with you...

Our home is ideal for families, couples, or even a get-away for just the guys/girls! It's conveniently located in the Maritime Forest, just mins. from Cape Fear Commons, the Conservancy, and the coveted East Beach. There is a calming outdoor spot to grille (one gas and one charcoal grille supplied) right in front of the home. There are two screened-in porches, one in the front and another in the back, where you can sit and relax, appreciating the sounds of the birds and the ocean breeze. The main living area has an refreshed kitchen , bar area, dining room, and a handsome living room. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom. One bedroom has 1 queen bed and the other has 2 twins and 2 trundles. The community has a wooden boardwalk, which can be accessed from the back porch.

Also supplied are bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, basic toiletries, beach chairs/umbrella, and a new pack and play and high chair. Your rental also comes with two golf carts, both 4 seaters. A Lifestyle Bald Head Island Club membership is attached to this home, and guest passes can be purchased directly from the club. If you choose to purchase, your guest passes will include access to the golf course, resort pool, croquet & tennis courts, and eateries.

We personally manage the units for our home, and appreciate developing a relationship with each renter. We are always available by text, phone, or e-mail and have on-island support staff to handle any issues that may arise during your stay. We are confident that you will be more than pleased with our home, and we're sure you will fall in appreciate with Bald Head Island, just as we have. We look forward to sharing our home with you!

How to find the best Southport vacation property experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. Reserve your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Bald Head Island:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cozy & Coastal Cottage near East Beach *BHI Club available* has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
