Harmony Cottage is a four bedroom, 4.5 bath oceanside sanctuary centrally located on Bald Head Island. From its shaded rocking-chair porch, you enter this handsome getaway and are immediately drawn to its back wall of glass showcasing unobstructed panoramas of the Atlantic (sweeping all the way to Frying Pan Shoals). Inside, the open floor plan takes advantage of not only the scenery, but also the warm, natural light. The comfortable living area is anchored by a decorative fireplace and offers games, books and a huge flat screen TV. Savor the vistas from here or step through to the covered beachfront back porch and linger while you relish the sunshine and watch the dolphins play.

Back inside, the well-appointed dining space's unique chandeliers and oyster candlesticks are but two of the tasteful decorator touches you'll appreciate. You can have your meals at the dining area's table for ten or munch alfresco on the adjacent waterfront screened porch. The cheerful kitchen features a breakfast bar, stainless appliances, granite counters, a pantry and is convenient to the laundry room and a half bath.

Upstairs, you're greeted by another bright gathering space with a cove ceiling. It's ideal for cozy conversations, late-nighttime movie watching, peaceful reading or even a nap! This level is also home to three more suites. The first is a bunk room with twin bunk beds and a separate twin with a twin trundle.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Booking in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• To start, have your group choose dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Harmony Cottage is a 4 BR\/ 4.5 BA Oceanfront Retreat! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions 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 launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to propel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
