Welcome to the Timbercreek 6A, also known as “THE VIEW”. TC 6A is a newly modernized condominium, three-bedrooms plus a sleeping loft, on Bald Head Island. Many years ago, a long time Bald Head Islander told us that we had the most spectacular marsh view on the Island. We’ve now owned our place at Timbercreek for over twenty five years and have never seen a better view. From our top floor screen porch, looking west, you see the BHI Marina, Cape Fear River and Southport. Looking east, down the tidal marsh, you see the homes on East Beach that face the Atlantic. Ahead of you, looking north, is a gorgeous panorama …… 10,000 acres of tidal marsh, the meandering Bald Head Creek, Middle Island and other modest pine islands. When we first came to Bald Head Island in 1989, we rented at Timbercreek. Sitting on the screen porch that first evening, we witnessed a pretty full moon rising over the marsh. This is magical, we thought. The next day, we learned that Timbercreek 6A was for sale. The rest is history. It’s still magical.

Timbercreek 6A was refreshed in 2010 – 2011. The new kitchen with granite counters is a thing of beauty. The two bathrooms were completely redone with granite-topped vanities and tiled showers. There are new interior doors, new lighting, new rugs, a new dining table and a new 50-inch TV that fits gorgeously in the new bespoke cabinet. The following amenities are yours with a Timbercreek 6A rental:

• A sizable screen porch with rockers and a expansive view
• A separate sun deck for morning coffee and sunbathing
• Three bedrooms with 1 king, 1 queen and 2 twin beds
• A loft with 2 twin beds and a second TV (great for the kids)
• All linens and bath towels are supplied
• Two updated full bathrooms with charmingly tiled showers
• A completely equipped, freshly remodeled kitchen
• A crib and high chair for little ones
• A 50-inch T.V. with digital cable and wireless Internet
• A four person golf cart and six-person golf cart with a cover for cool or rainy days
• Four kayaks, four bicycles, and body boards, beach chairs and an umbrella
• An optional temporary membership in the Bald Head Island Club and/or the Shoals Club. Each Club has an additional weekly fee for a temporary membership, which varies depending on the time of year.
• A full cleaning on departure is supplied in the rental price
• An on-Island manager for your convenience
• Pet friendly for an additional pet fee

Your vacation on Bald Head Island has so many possibilities. A few examples: cycling, hiking, kayaking, birding, sun bathing, ocean swimming, pool swimming, shelling & beach combing, body boarding, body surfing, fishing, crabbing, walking the nature trails, walking the Point at low tide, turtle walks led by the BHI Conservancy. Or just put your feet up and relax.

There are no cars on Bald Head Island. You park your car at the ferry lot on the mainland and use a golf cart while on the Island. Our screen porch is one of the most calming places on the Island. We regularly see egrets, ibis, osprey, herons and other shore birds as well as the occasional painted bunting or dolphins in the creek. Leave your cares on the mainland and come to a magical island.

Telephone or e-mail us for more details. We do use an on-Island agent/manager to manage your check-in, the security deposit or damage insurance (at your option) and cleaning to make sure your vacation goes off without a hitch.

Tips to get the optimal Southport vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. 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.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• First, have your group commit to dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 'The View' - Rent the Most Spectacular View on Bald Head has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your contract.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
