This very private, dog friendly Harbour Village charmer, located on a peaceful cul-de-sac, abuts Bald Head Creek, and astounds with spectacular marsh perspectives. As you step under the arbor, through the white picket-fenced yard, you'll perceive gentle ocean breezes as you alight to the covered front porch and into the comfortable entry of this reverse floor plan. To the left you'll find a sunny corner suite with two Twins and a full bath (with tub) which also opens onto the hall. Beyond, a light-filled bayed Queen bedroom, with a sliding door, grants access to a waterside covered porch and sun deck. This is the ideal spot for dipping toes or communing with the Island's natural inhabitants. At the end of the hall, the Queen Owner's Suite's two walls of glass doors delight with panoramas of sun shining off the water of the Island's lavish marshes. Grab an Adirondack just outside on the semi-covered deck and while away the hours. This suite also homes a huge Master Bath with his and her vanities, a water closet, a shower, and a sizable walk-in. A laundry completes this level.

At the top of the stairs, a roomy kitchen overlooks the sun-drenched vaulted living and dining areas which are surrounded by windows. A infant enormous sits in a bright bay just across from the chic dining space. Nearby, the generous living area, anchored by a slated fireplace, is very inviting but what steals the show are the halcyon Island prospects everywhere you look. Savor these inside or on this level's bowed, semi-covered porch. It's an charming place to watch the morning sunrise or relax with an afternoon treat and it even renders glimpses all the way to Sunny Point! So attractively located and appreciating proximity to the marina, stores, and eateries-as well as providing a four-passenger cart for guest use and including WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends-Au Beau Marais will assure you un Beau Moment (a good time) on your vacation! (The crofter is not part of the rental unit.) An additional $300 nonrefundable pet fee is required for each guest dog.

Tricks and tips for getting the best Bald Head Island vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Reserve your Carolina Beach vacation in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Waterfront Harbor Home! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach beach you crave, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
