Looking for gasp-worthy panoramas of the shimmering Atlantic on BHI’s High Dunes? This reverse-plan, four-bedroom, 4.5 bath Dudley Parker constructed home is perched up on a wooded, winding drive-emerging above treetops to reveal spectacular seascapes. The home is conveniently located near the center of the Island and close to the Market, island shopping, dining and all clubs and amenities. And most importantly, direct beach access to South Beach is only a 2-min. walk.

This home's first level offers private front and side porches and, inside, its entryway warmly welcomes you to beach living. The first floor offers three, freshly painted and remodeled suites-each include new wood floors, their own private full-bath with granite counters and tiled showers. The first two suites-a King and a Queen-are light-filled rooms with generous closets and storage. The third bedroom is furnished with two twin beds and offers direct access to the front porch.

Upstairs, a vaulted-ceiling open floor plan makes the most of its walls of windows by highlighting ocean panoramas extending from Frying Pan Shoals all the way down South Beach. The bright living space extends to a enormous, covered wraparound sitting porch to savor the big ocean vistas, an afternoon gathering or an outdoor lunch or dinner. You’ll spend contented hours with family and friends while relishing shimmering seascapes and savoring drinks and snacks as well as salty breezes. The gourmet kitchen, equipped with a window-surrounded dining table for 8, is equipped with modern stainless appliances, gas stove, coffee bar and generous counter space with both ocean and forested dune vistas. Nearby, a granite breakfast bar offers even more seating. The upstairs Primary suite has a king bed and features breath taking vistas of the ocean and horizon where you will awake to spectacular sunlit vistas. It includes its own access to the sitting porch, a private office and an oversize ensuite bath with double vanity, a water closet, and a huge glass enclosed shower. Conveniently located near the Island's center-close to both the beach and stores and providing access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, this gem is an ideal BHI haven.

Bald Head Island rental property booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• To get the best value, shift your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Captain Tank's is a Grand 4BR\/4.5BA Dunes Ridge Getaway with Ocean Views! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your trip.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
