If calming tableaus are what you seek, look no farther than Au Beau Marais!

This very private, dog friendly Harbour Village charmer, located on a peaceful cul-de-sac, abuts Bald Head Creek, and astounds with spectacular marsh perspectives. As you step under the arbor, through the white picket-fenced yard, you'll perceive gentle ocean breezes as you alight to the covered front porch and into the comfortable entryway of this reverse floor plan. To the left you'll find a sunny corner suite with two Twins and a full bath (with tub) which also opens onto the hall. Beyond, a light-filled bayed Queen bedroom, with a sliding door, grants access to a waterside covered porch and sun deck. This is the ideal spot for dipping toes or communing with the Island's natural inhabitants. At the end of the hall, the Queen Owner's Suite's two walls of glass doors delight with panoramas of sun shining off the water of the Island's impressive marshes. Grab an Adirondack just outside on the semi-covered deck and while away the hours. This suite also homes a enormous Master Bath with his and her vanities, a water closet, a shower, and a sizable walk-in. A laundry completes this level.

At the top of the stairs, a roomy kitchen overlooks the sun-drenched vaulted living and dining areas which are surrounded by windows. A infant huge sits in a bright bay just across from the extravagant dining space. Nearby, the generous living area, anchored by a slated fireplace, is very inviting but what steals the show are the halcyon Island prospects everywhere you look. Savor these inside or on this level's bowed, semi-covered porch. It's an impressive place to watch the morning sunrise or relax with an afternoon treat and it even renders glimpses all the way to Sunny Point! So appealingly located and appreciating proximity to the marina, stores, and eateries-as well as providing a four-passenger cart for guest use and including WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends-Au Beau Marais will assure you un Beau Moment (a good time) on your vacation! (The crofter is not part of the rental unit.) An additional $300 nonrefundable pet fee is required for each guest dog.

Strategies to get the perfect Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in Bald Head Island. To get the most suitable rental within your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Cape Fear area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home 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 money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Waterfront Harbor Home! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• 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 vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective 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.
