As renters of many homes over the years, some really extraordinary 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.

- Newer 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 remodeled 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 (NEW IPE for 2025).

- Beach towels, sand toys for kids, 8+ beach chairs (high and low), and a no fuss Shibumi Shade are supplied 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.

Tips to get the very best vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, try changing your family's Cape Fear area trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect rental:

• First and foremost, have your group choose the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Searenity Now BHI - Spectacular Ocean Front Luxury Home, Sleeps 10 has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you book the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean 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 vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
