Located between two unspoiled beaches in the Cape Fear Station of Bald Head Island, NC--Our home offers a peaceful and modern hideaway from everyday life. It is located in the enchanting maritime forest with painless access to two pristine beaches and the Bald Head Island conservancy.

This location offers guests the opportunity to experience nature and still appreciate refreshed amenities. You will have simple access to miles of hiking, cycling and running trails. If you wish, the option to purchase temporary membership at the close by fashonable Shoals Club is also available.

When you arrive, swing open the white-picket fence and walk down the cozy boardwalk toward the Nantucket-inspired bungalow. On the way, there is an outdoor shower and access to a "tree home" style guest bungalow with a queen-size bed and ensuite. At the main home, the screened in porch offers a place to play cards, savor thoughtful conversation, breathe in the salty, fresh air, and listen to the symphony of nature--tree frogs, calming surf, and cicadas guaranteed. Al fresco dining an option. Gas-grille available.

Enter a welcoming kitchen with stainless steel appliances connected to an intimate dining area which comfortably seats 6 (including a comfortable constructed-in window seat).

Pass by the constructed-in bookcase to a cavernous family room with sizable windows, light wood floors, and flat screen TV. Oak furnishings, a cozy sectional couch, and a whimsical wicker coffee table invite you to relax after a hard day of play.

Upstairs offers, two bedrooms (each with private bathrooms) and washing machine & dryer. One king-size bed and one queen-size bed.

The front porch has access to a relaxing boardwalk to enjoy nature among palmettos, a community gazebo, ancient oaks, and Spanish moss. Follow the sounds of the surf and experience a spectacular sunrise on East Beach. Or check-out the educational programs available at the Nature Conservancy. The sea turtles are their specialty!

Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• To book the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting and booking a perfectrental:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Welcome to High Tides and Good Vibes has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your family.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of issues.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
