Harmony Cottage is a four bedroom, 4.5 bath oceanside sanctuary centrally located on Bald Head Island. From its shaded rocking-chair porch, you enter this handsome getaway and are immediately drawn to its back wall of glass showcasing unobstructed panoramas of the Atlantic (sweeping all the way to Frying Pan Shoals). Inside, the open floor plan takes advantage of not only the scenery, but also the warm, natural light. The comfortable living area is anchored by a decorative fireplace and offers games, books and a enormous flat screen TV. Appreciate the vistas from here or step through to the covered beachfront back porch and linger while you relish the sunshine and watch the dolphins play. Step down to your private boardwalk and take the very short journey to the sand.
Back inside, the well-appointed dining space's unique chandeliers and oyster candlesticks are but two of the tasteful decorator touches you'll appreciate. You can have your meals at the dining area's table for ten or munch alfresco on the adjacent waterfront screened porch. The cheerful kitchen features a breakfast bar, stainless appliances, granite counters, a pantry and is convenient to the laundry room and a half bath.
This floor also homes the generous King Master with its own beach perspectives, private access to the ocean porch, two closets and a pampering bath with a sizable tiled shower, dual vanities, a water closet and a sunken tub.
Upstairs, you're greeted by another bright gathering space with a cove ceiling. It's ideal for cozy conversations, late-nighttime movie watching, peaceful reading or even a nap! This level is also home to three more suites. The first is a bunk room with twin bunk beds and a separate twin with a twin trundle. It affords water scenes, tons of constructed-ins and its own private bath. The second is a sunny Queen suite delighting with shining seascapes through its Palladian window and provides a full bath which also has hall access. The third suite is very cavernous and also proffers a Queen with calming ocean tableaus and a private full bath. All bedrooms are equipped with cooling ceiling fans.
Featuring brand-new raw pecan hardwoods throughout and located just mins. from stores, clubs and the Conservancy, a stay at Harmony Cottage includes the use of two golf carts, a hammock, a gas grille, beach towels and includes WWP's our 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends. Savor the best of the sweet life-including its breezy balm and ocean pleasures-with a vacation at Harmony Cottage.

How to get the best Bald Head Island rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best value, try changing your family's Cape Fear area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose and book the right Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Harmony Cottage is a 4 BR/ 4.5 BA Oceanfront Retreat! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you crave, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Call the property manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
