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 gorgeous 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 handsome 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 huge 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 roomy and comfortable, with a sitting area inside and a screened porch – amazing 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 included 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. You can also bring your own bicycles on the ferry over with you!

We have a well-equipped kitchen outfitted with your essentials. We also have a gas grille, and a sizable stockpot if a crab boil is your thing! The basics – paper goods, soap and dish detergent – will also be supplied to you. You'll have access to blender, tea kettle, coffee maker (makes single cup or full pot), hand mixer and food processor, as well as all silverware, pots, pans and cooking supplies needed. Linens and towels are supplied with the rental, and we have a supply of beach towels in the laundry room as well (you're welcome to use them, but your rental agreement will indicate you are responsible for laundering and returning to the laundry cabinet).

A BHI Club lifestyle membership is available for a separate purchase. You can contact BHI Club for more information on cost.

Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To book the best rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Perfect family home on the marsh with 2 golf carts! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
