From the moment you board the passenger ferry on the mainland, you'll feel that a special experience awaits you when you arrive at Bald Head Island. This golfcart-only heaven provides a unique vacation experience for all ages. Feel it from our enchanting home – Ibis Perch is a three-bedroom home located alongside the Bald Head Island Creek, with one of the most impressive vistas of the sunrise over the marsh that you'll find on the island. We've newly purchased this pretty home, made a few upgrades, and now we are ready to share our Happy Place with you!

Sit back on the back porch and appreciate the lavish sunrise each morning while listening to the wildlife. This is a reverse floor plan home with the main living, dining, kitchen, and half bath on the 2nd floor. Take advantage of the enormous broad windows overlooking the pretty marsh view and savor the fresh breezes while appreciating morning coffee while watching the sunrise on the deck. On the first floor, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, along with a full laundry room. The king master suite is cavernous and comfortable, with a sitting area inside and a screened porch – fantastic vistas of the marsh can be seen from anywhere in the bedroom or screened porch (and there are blackout curtains in case you want to sleep in without the sunrise!). The second and third bedroom share a bath. One guest room has a queen while the other consists of two twins.

This family-friendly home is located on a peaceful cul-de-sac with only 3 other homes. We provide a infant gate to block the stairs so everybody can savor the upstairs open concept floorplan. We have games for all ages, puzzles and books available to enjoy. While we think you'll be watching sunrises and wildlife more than TV. Spectrum cable and Wifi are supplied, and all TVs are Intelligent TVs so you can log into your favorite streaming services with no problem. We have a Pack-N-Play and a booster seat available for our youngest guests.

2 4-passenger golf carts are supplied with your rental. Ibis Perch is located less than a mile from Old Baldy and the harbor area. It's a fast walk, bicycle ride or golf cart ride to the island boat ramp, where you can kayak or paddleboard in the marsh creek – and see Ibis Perch from a different view! Kayaks and paddleboards can be rented on BHI – just ask if you'd like more information.

Beaches are a short golf cart ride away, where you can enjoy a day in the sun and sea, as well as memorable sunsets. There are public access points all around the 13 miles of pristine beaches, so discover the island and the many different beach experiences. Our home does provide you with 3 bicycles, 6 beach chairs, and a variety of beach toys (including Bocce Ball). Bikes can be rented on BHI if you need more – just ask if you'd like more information.

Tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best vacation home for your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Carolina Beach attractions. 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? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking a perfect Carolina Beach rental:

• First, have your group commit to date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Perfect family home on the marsh with 2 golf carts! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
