Unwind and relax this summer at Marsh Mellow! This 4-bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home is available for rent for the first time. Located at the end of Leeward Court, this home features some of the best vistas on Bald Head Island.

The main home features three second-floor bedrooms, including a master suite with a king bed, soaking tub and separate shower, and a terrace overlooking the marsh and creek. The guest room with a queen bed shares a bathroom off the hallway with the kids' bedroom, which has two twin beds (or a pullout queen couch bed if your guests prefer to sleep on that). The second floor also has a separate office, with a great view of Old Baldy. On the first floor, savor an open floor plan with two sitting areas, a dining area, seating at the kitchen bar, and sliding glass doors that open onto the deck. The living area is filled with books and a wide assortment of games and puzzles for your family and friends to appreciate. The kitchen is completely supplied with everything you will need for your week at Marsh Mellow. The first floor also has a full laundry room and a half bath.

In addition to the main home, the crofter over the garage is freshly finished, with a queen bed, shower, separate toilet, modest kitchenette, and vistas that make you feel like you're floating above the creek. If you prefer an outdoor shower, that's available too, located underneath the crofter in the yard. In the garage, you'll find two 4-passenger golf carts, along with beach chairs, sand toys, body boards, and three bicycles, accepting you to enjoy outdoor life on the island. You can effortlessly rent additional bicycles or equipment for water sports on the creek at the close by Riverside Adventure Company.

Speaking of the outdoors, Marsh Mellow has a gorgeous front porch that is typically shaded and features a bench, two chairs and a hammock (our kids adore the hammock). The yard is fenced in, and the enormous deck off the side of the home is what makes the outdoor area really special. With separate sitting and dining areas (including a new dining table and chairs not featured in the photos), along with an outdoor grille, it is the ideal spot to enjoy time with family and friends, taking in the beauty all around you. If you sit on Marsh Mellow's deck during the day, you'll see ibis, herons, pelicans and sometimes even dolphins frolic in the marsh. At nighttime enjoy the view of Old Baldy lit up as well as a spectacular view of the nighttime sky.

A few additional notes:
*There is no smoking anywhere in or around the property. Please help us maintain a smoke-complimentary environment.

*Unfortunately, we cannot allow family pets. We sometimes travel to Bald Head Island with our three cats, and we do not want any other pets in the home. (For people with cat allergies, we clean the home thoroughly, but be aware that there are sometimes feline visitors at the home when we're there ourselves.)

*High speed internet and Wifi are supplied. The home has a Sonos One music speaker (kitchen) and three T.V.s (1st floor living room, 2nd floor kids' bedroom, Crofter), each with a streaming device (Roku or Amazon Fire Stick). Subscriptions to streaming services not supplied.

*Membership to the Bald Head Island Club is not supplied in the base rental rate. Guest temporary membership may be available for separate purchase. Contact the Bald Head Island Club directly at (910) 457-7300. Guest memberships are limited this summer, so we can't guarantee that a guest membership will be available for your rental week.

*A guest Shoals membership is not available at Marsh Mellow.

*Reservations for the tram from the ferry book up early each summer. The good news is that we often avoid using the tram, choosing instead to walk to Marsh Mellow, then taking one of the golf carts back to the ferry to pick up our bags. Feel complimentary to reserve a tram if that's better for you and your guests.

*By booking the property, you accept the terms of the included rental agreement.

If you have any questions about amenities, appliances and supplies in the home, or anything else related to your trip, please contact us before you travel to Bald Head Island. We want to make sure you have a great time and feel at home at Marsh Mellow.

Getting the best vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

  • Summertime is the most expensive season in Bald Head Island. To get the best rental within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
  • Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
  • Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
  • Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

  • Choose vacation week and budget.
  • Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Gorgeous Marsh Views! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
  • Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
  • Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
  • If your group is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

  • Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
  • At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of difficulties.
  • Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
  • Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
  • Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
  • Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
