Coming Fall 2024: Brand New 5.5 Bedroom (plus optional 2nd crofter to add a 6th bedroom + sauna!).


Please note that we spend family time on BHI each summer and may not be able to commit to certain summer weeks being available until we finalize our extended family summer availability schedule, usually by March at which time we will show all available and unavailable weeks.

Our 5.5 bedroom home & crofter is great for two or three families (fits three families of 2+2 very comfortably). The bed configuration is:
Main 4BR House: 1. K, 2. Q, 3. T + T-Trundle, 4. T x 2,
Crofter: Q plus loft w/T x 2
If you are a multi-family group, the crofter (with a Queen plus a loft with two Twins) is great for a family with two kids that wants to both be with the group but also some privacy - it has a full bath, dorm refrigerator, microwave & coffee pot (ladder access loft in crofter, so loft is not for the very little ones).

We have a 2nd Crofter with a separate lock out as an optional add-on for bigger groups. With this add-on it is 6.5 bedrooms, sleeps 14 in beds. Ask for details!

For those who savor a meal at home, there is plenty of seating for all and our galley-style kitchen is entirely appointed with everything you'll need to make a memorable meal, complete with an unforgetable view.

Hop on one of our two new Onward Club Car golf carts, both with high speed motors. (They will go 25+ MPH so please do not exceed the 18MPH BHI speed limit!) We spend time on the beach Every Single Day on BHI, and appreciate the open air golf cart ride there and back immensely BUT we also have the best of both worlds because we come home to the amazing and ever changing tapestry - that awe-inspiring Creek View. We think of it as an amazing live painting that changes every day.

We enjoy watching Egrets, Ibis and Osprey from inside the home or while sitting in the broad screened porch. We watch our kids fish, crab, cast net, kayak and swim right out front daily. And what a treat to watch our 10 year old son dash straight out to the dock every morning for an hour or more barely remembering the existence of TV or video games.

We can walk left on the boardwalk out front and we are at the boat launch in about 2 mins.. Alternately we go the other way on the boardwalk with our first cup of coffee in hand every morning for an striking and inspiring 10 min. creek view board-'walk'.

And, with simple access to the floating dock you can bring or rent your boat! Or, enjoy a paddle on the creek by canoe, SUP or kayak, all rentable on island (an absolute favorite activity for our whole family).

Come enjoy our family home on the creek, we think you will appreciate it as much as we do!

Please note that we spend family time on BHI each summer and typically cannot commit to certain weeks being available until we finalize our summer schedule, usually by March at which time we will show all available and unavailable weeks.

Tips to get the very best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To book the best rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing the perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. All New In 2024 CreekFront! Dock! Views! 5.5 Bedroom + 2nd crofter\/sauna option has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If not, contact the property owner before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family 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 about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
