Mystical Marsh embraces nature’s majesty and provides discerning visitors the chance to really get away from it all. Located in the very private Middle Island community of Bald Head, this five-bedroom, 4.5 bath residence, hugged by live oaks and palms, spotlights awe-inspiring Bald Head Creek and Marsh vistas.

Outside, Mystical Marsh proffers a front rocking-chair porch and a screened porch, two ground-level decks, two back open porches and a rooftop/second floor deck-all ideal for estuary observation or peaceful moments appreciating whispering breezes, sea air and the Island's calming calm.

Inside, the home’s open floor plan and proliferation of windows take full advantage of light and nature's beautiful tableaus. The living area is surrounded by a humongous boxed bay set of windows. It is anchored by a decorative granite-faced fireplace and offers a comfortable setting for conversation as well as game-playing or movie-watching.

Adjacent, the dining space features a very enormous farm table which comfortably accommodates ten. Beyond, the breakfast bar offers another four seats. The kitchen features stainless Jenn-Air appliances, a wine cooler and plenty of granite counter space for prepping delicious snacks. The first floor also includes a powder room and the King Primary suite with its own sitting area, private porch and ensuite with a jetted tub.

The home’s second level is accessible by both a front and back stairs. Up the back stairs, you’ll find a bunk room with two Twin bunk beds and a day bed. Beyond, up three steps, is a King bedroom with vaulted ceilings and covetous vistas. These share a close by full bath featuring a walk-in shower. Down the hall are a day bed (offering additional sleeping space) and another vaulted bedroom. The latter is furnished with Twin beds and delivers more spectacular marsh vistas. Across the hall is still another full bath with a tub/shower. The balcony tenders an office alcove-a great spot to get a little business done, if needed, and at the end of the hall is the upstairs Queen Owner Suite. Its location affords additional privacy. This chamber provides another ensuite with walk-in shower, a walk-in closet, access to a private porch and, of course, extraordinary creekscapes.

This residence’s additional amenities include a convenient location for going to close by esteemed East Beach, the Shoals Club or the Conservancy, the use of two golf carts, internet, an outdoor shower and WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends. If you seek the magical quietude of Bald Head’s Marsh and Creek, you’ll find it when you vacation at BHI’s Mystical Marsh!

Our top Carolina Beach vacation rental booking tips:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Mystical Marsh-for discerning vacationers who long for natural serenity has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many issues.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out 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 you have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
