We want you to stay with us. :)

Kick back and relax in our little slice of heaven, just moments away from East Beach. Tucked inside the shade of the enchanting Maritime Forest, our bungalow is the ideal hideaway for families and beach lovers needing to let loose, breath deep and have fun! Catch a cool ocean breeze from one of our two comfortable screened in porches -- ideal for a peaceful cup of coffee, great conversation or family board game. Get anywhere on the island quickly in one of our 4-person golf carts. Two come with your stay.

Because quality time is the best part of BHI, we equipped our bungalow with tons of extras. Two 4-person golf carts, streaming services on a 55” intelligent TV, TVs in most bedrooms, gas grille, highchair, cribs, games, kid toys and sand toys, beach chairs, fishings rods, body boards, sun shades, and more. Use our bicycles too! We have two adult bicycles (one with a kid seat on the back) and one kid bicycle (ideal for a 7-10 year old).

There are two bedrooms in the main home and one over the detached garage. All bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. A ideal set up for a group of friends, two modest families or one big family.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more - Burkee water filter, toaster oven, air fryer, Instapot pressure cooker and slow cooker, Cuisinart ice cream maker, and quality kitchen knives.

All bedrooms come with Dom sound machines. Both guest rooms have a TV with streaming services or DVD player and tons of DVDs.

Guests have the option to purchase a guest pass to the BHI Club or Shoals Club, which has many fabulous amenities, including golf, pools, playgrounds, and eateries. It's a must for a family beach vacation!

From June to Labor Day, our typical check-In/check-out days are on Friday. If you have questions, feel complimentary to message us.

Strategies for getting the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summertime is high season in Bald Head Island. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the best vacation home:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Cozy Family Retreat Near East Beach has 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
