About this Property

  • 3 Bedrooms
  • 4 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home

Stroll to Shoals is ideally located near the beach but tucked away in the forest at Sumner's Crescent in Cape Fear Station near the Conservancy, Captain Charlie’s, and the Shoals. Savor listening to the ocean waves and taking relaxing strolls to East Beach for sunrise and South Beach for sunset.

Located among 300-year-old grand live oak trees, the home sits off the street and is very private yet close to the main community and park. Upon arrival, cross an inviting bridge-like boardwalk with a huge deck area to access this home. Then settle in to relax on one of multiple decks or the screened porch and take in the natural beauty of the island.

An open living space, kitchen, dining area and half bath are located upstairs with lofted ceilings and broad window vistas of the treetops. Appreciate coffee, beverages or a good book on the upstairs deck while watching birds and listening to the sounds of the ocean.

A reverse floor plan with bedrooms on the first floor of the main home includes a primary bedroom suite with queen bed and full bath. The kid-friendly guest room offers two twin beds, a daybed with trundle and full bathroom with bathtub. Both bedrooms open onto a enormous screened porch and private outdoor seating area.

Adjacent to the main home is a comfortable crofter with a queen bed, full bath, mini-refrigerator, coffee or tea station, and a balcony located in the trees.

The home has two 4-passenger golf carts. An outdoor shower and gas grille are located off of the sizable deck area between the main home and the crofter.

Temporary memberships for guests of this property are available for additional costs at Bald Head Island Club (with golf option) and/or Shoals Club. Both clubs require advance registration forms and costs for temporary membership. Inquire at time of booking for details about the club options, amenities, etc.

Two outdoor video cameras monitor the exterior of the home. Footage remains private and in no way infringes upon the expectation of privacy in these public areas.

A $300 non-returnable pet fee is required if a dog is supplied Quotes from some of our guests:

"What a magnificent beach home! Our family appreciated the secluded spot tucked into the trees yet so close to the Shoals Club and Mike’s Bites.

"We have never been to Bald Head Island, but were intrigued by what it had to offer. His home had everything we didn’t know we needed.

We look forward to returning in the future!" The M family April 2022

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

  • Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
  • The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
  • Property managers often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
  • Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

  • Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Quiet, Wooded Sanctuary - Near Sunrise and Sunset Beaches - Dog Friendly has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
  • Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
  • Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
  • Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Tips for a smooth stay:

  • Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
  • Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
  • Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
  • At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
  • After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to drive future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.

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.

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.
