(5BR, 4BA,SL12,2K/2TW/2Q/1D, 2 Golf Carts, Sunday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 11:00AM/CHECK IN 5:30PM) Located beside Bald Head's serene marsh, you'll find this five-bedroom, four-bath getaway down a peaceful, shaded boardwalk amongst loblollies and palms. When you reach the covered front rocking chair porch, take a second to stop and listen to the gentle breezes rustling leaves, punctuated by relaxing bird call.

As you step inside the two-story entry, you are greeted by warm hardwoods and drawn across the living area to the home's back wall of windows displaying the calming perspectives of the Island's estuary. These windows side this getaway's serene living space which features a fireplace, constructed-ins and egress to an oversize, water-facing wrap-around back screened porch. On the porch, you can relax on the hammock or in one of the three seating areas or appreciate a bite alfresco at one of the two dining tables-all while watching Nature's show of tides, egrets, and other wildlife. Steps down from here lead to this modest community's private dock-making it simple to fish, crab, kayak or paddleboard. Back inside, this open floor plan's close by dining space, cornered by windows, furnishes seating for nine with spots available for three more at the adjacent breakfast bar and offers another access to the screened porch. The generous kitchen provides a sizable prep island, plenty of storage and has the laundry conveniently close by. On the other side of this floor are two bedrooms. The first is a bright corner room with two Twins that uses the full bath, with tub, just outside its door. The sunlit corner Primary King suite charms with its wall of windows overlooking Bald Head Creek and has its own screened porch entree. It also features a enormous, spa-like ensuite with a garden tub, shower and dual vanity and an oversize closet.

Upstairs, a cheery corner suite is outfitted with two Queens and enjoys its own ensuite with a tub/shower. There is also a second bedroom set up with two Doubles and a second Primary King suite with its own huge full bath ensuite. All three of these upper bedrooms not only grant inspiring marsh tableaus through their windows but also deliver access to this floor's treetop deck-the ideal place to savor coffee while watching the sun rise or savor a peaceful read or peaceful nap.

This BHI haven, located mid-island, close to stores, the Conservancy and just mins. to the beach, supplies guests with two six-passenger golf carts for their use and includes WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends.

Strategies to get the best rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach 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 your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to select the best rental home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Marsh Onward!: 5 BR, 4 BA House in Bald Head Island, Sleeps 12 has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
