Only 200 steps down your private boardwalk, the warm sands of Bald Head Island's South Beach await when you stay at Dune Eden, an executive oceanfront getaway providing five bedrooms/5.5 baths and spectacular seascapes inside and out.

The main home and crofter are cloistered around an entrance courtyard. The main home's first level homes the garages and egress to the beach access. Up the stairs, the next level proffers a deep, covered TREX wraparound porch, bayed on the oceanside and furnished with a dining set as well as seating for conversation or serene contemplation of the unobstructed Atlantic vistas.

From here, you can take the spiral staircase to the upper sundeck or enter inside. Within, this floor reveals crafted, bespoke details around every corner-from the handsome Cypress wainscoting to the plank floor and original art. The three bedrooms on this level start with a roomy twin which utilizes the convenient hall full bath. The first cavernous King suite renders handsome water tableaus, direct porch access and includes a comfortable private sitting area as well as a spa-like bath with a sunken jetted tub, separate tile shower, water closet and his/her vanities. The second King suite also delights with its own en suite. A centrally-located family room completes this floor and tenders a wet bar, loads of constructed-ins, a decorative fireplace and porch access.

The home's top level's open floor plan is accentuated by soaring shiplapped ceilings, walls of windows showcasing dazzling Atlantic panoramas and loads of warm sunlight. The roomy, cozy living area is anchored by another decorative sizable fireplace with a massive Pecky Cypress distressed wood mantel. The hub of the indoor dining space, located in an oversize bay that provides shimmering vistas from every angle, is a bespoke compass table seating eight under a fresh shell chandelier. Dine here or al fresco, through the door to the sun deck, where yet another dining set and conversation area offer Atlantic breezes as well as seascapes. Back inside, beyond the dining area, a mammoth quartz island provides breakfast bar seating at each end, a professional Viking gas prepare top in the middle and plenty of prep space in-between. From the wet bar and wine cooler to the professional Viking stainless appliances-this kitchen is a gourmet's delight!

The upper oceanfront King Owner's suite on this level affords a refuge with its private sitting area, porch access and extravagant spa-like ensuite. The home's crofter provides another separate sanctuary in the form of a Queen suite with not only a full bath but also a wet bar and mini refrigerator.The property includes use of two golf carts and WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends. For a little piece of heaven on Bald Head, book your stay at Dune Eden.

Tips to get the best rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. 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 strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select your vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Dune Eden-Executive oceanfront retreat steps from the sand! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before booking the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
