Savor bites at one of these locations indoors or dine alfresco at the set on the oceanfront porch! The sunlit, family-friendly kitchen features stainless appliances, granite counters, plenty of storage and a separate wet bar. Three bedrooms are also located on this level. The oceanfront King Owners Suite offers a private dressing area, a spa-like en suite, TV, and private access to the huge deck. A second King suite also grants amazing ocean prospects and private porch access as well as its own TV and full en suite. An additional King bedroom proffers charming ocean aspects and porch access, too, and uses the full bath located just across the hall.

Upstairs, the second oceanfront King Owners' Suite is vaulted and pampers with an en suite and its own private balcony. Another bedroom is furnished with two Twins, utilizes the next-door full hall bath and also delights with shining azure vistas. The laundry completes this floor. Centrally located-just mins. to the BHI Club, eateries and stores; including the use of two golf carts-a four-passenger and a six-passenger as well as a gas grille, beach chairs, umbrellas, body boards and beach toys and access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, following your heart to Following Seas will be the best ocean-side beach vacation decision you have ever made!

How to get the best Bald Head Island vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. 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 information, travel guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Following Seas is a Oceanfront 5BR\/5BA retreat for families of all sizes! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong 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 comments.
