Relaxation, memories and happiness awaits - welcome to Searenity Now BHI.

Recent Updates to the home include 3 entirely remodeled bathrooms, freshly painted throughout, ocean facing outdoor bar seating, new outdoor completely wooded common areas (walkways and driveway to the beach side).

As renters of many homes over the years, some really striking and others less so, we have taken the best of those experiences and applied them here so you have an exceptional vacation from initial booking through your stay. Should you book our home, we hope you make as many memories, smiles, and laughs as we have. Now, about the home...

- Reverse floor plan, open concept kitchen and living spaces with elevated ceilings and most importantly, broad 180 degree ocean vistas.

- Located directly across from a beach access (if you have never been to BHI, many homes, even those near the ocean, require you to load a cart and drive to a beach access. Our home is located directly in front of beach access #17, no loading and driving necessary!).

- Centrally located on the island, making trips to any attraction painless (BHI Club, Shoals Club, East Beach, the Market, the Marina), no trekking across the full island for anything.

- New beds, pillows and linens: 1 king, 2 queens (one with a twin trundle underneath), 1 bunk bed (with a full bed, twin bunk above, and twin trundle below).

- Each bedroom has its own dedicated full bathroom (three baths modernized in 2023), with a 1/2 bath upstairs.

- Both club memberships (BHI and Shoals Club) are available to purchase for your stay. * While typically not an issue, some new rules we do not control, established by each club, are in place to limit guest memberships week to week. Please contact the respective clubs to inquire about availability for your desired stay.

- Newer carts (see pics): 4 passenger lifted and 6 passenger high speed limo (Old or bad carts can make for a less than ideal experience on the island. While any machine can have moments and issues, ours are clean, safe, and regularly professionally maintained reducing hassles for you as much as we can control).

- New intelligent TV's in all the bedrooms (youtube TV and Netflix are supplied, you can load your account for Hulu, Disney+, etc).

- High speed internet and access points to help with Zoom or Teams meetings, remote learning, and streaming entertainment. We have NetGear Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh Routers in place and the highest internet speeds available on the island.

- Elevator servicing all floors.

- Over 1,500 square feet of decking, with screened porch off the master bedroom.

- Renovated kitchen with quartz counters, wine refrigerator, gas stove top, high end cutlery, Keurig AND drip coffee maker.

- Beach towels, sand toys for kids, 8+ beach chairs (high and low), and a no fuss Shibumi Shade are included to lighten the travel load of our guests.

- Laundry on the main level (the bedroom level).

- Adirondacks on all decks for calming moments.

- Hi power hair dryers in bathrooms so you can pack a little lighter.

- Special secondary commercial grade HVAC filtration (in addition to the usual HVAC filtration) to help fight/kill more airborne contaminants.

- Useful links for your convenience (bhiclub.net, shoalsclub.com, baldheadislandferry.com)

We hope you find happiness in our home, we're committed to making it a place you'd want to revisit or refer your friends and family.

How to find the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the perfect vacation home:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Searenity Now BHI - Spectacular Ocean Front Luxury Home, Sleeps 10 has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
