Welcome to our family's home away from home: "Lighthouse Point." We lived in Lighthouse Point, Florida, when we were first married and appreciated our beach time there. Fifteen years, three kids, and one move to North Carolina later... we discovered Bald Head Island, our new beach favorite!

The beach access is just steps from the home, which means it's painless to traverse with your kids and beach gear in tow. We're adjacent to the Bald Head Island Club so you have a short walk or a one-min. golf cart ride to savor all the amenities there, which include multiple pools with splash pads and slides, a playground, golf, tennis, exercise facility, croquet, casual dining poolside at Horizons and fine dining inside the club. Our home is also just mins. to the Maritime Market, Shoals Club, as well as all of the fun activities on the island.

There is covered parking under the home for the two golf carts (one 4-passenger and one 6-passenger supplied with the rental) as well as an outdoor shower to clean off after a day at the beach.

The first floor features 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a laundry area, and a kid's lounge with a 65" SmartTV and comfortable couch (accepting the adults peaceful time upstairs!). Our home sleeps 10, but we have a home rule of a max of 6 adults. The kids' lounge has a sizable bay window and access to the porch. There are constructed-ins with toys and games for all ages. The first master has a king-size bed and ocean vistas. You can access the covered porch from the master and relax in the rocking chairs while listening to the waves! The opulent attached bath has a huge double vanity with quartz countertops and an upsized tiled shower. The second master also has a king bed and attached bath with quartz vanity and tiled shower. Both masters also include 55" SmartTVs. The third bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk room. The bunk room has one twin-over-twin and one twin-over-full bunk bed (sleeps 4-5 kiddos).

The second floor is a completely open concept that flows onto a enormous covered porch with pretty ocean vistas. This is the ideal place for appreciating calming dinners! The kitchen includes bespoke cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a huge center island, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, wine refrigerator, and walk-in pantry. The dining area has a sizable table with seating for 8 in addition to seating for 4 at the island. There is a cozy sitting room -- ideal for reading a book or watching the sunsets.

How to book the best Bald Head Island vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. Book your Carolina Beach rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the bestvacation home:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Ocean View - Family Friendly - Steps to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If not, contact the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for 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 property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
