(5BR, 4BA,SL12,2K/2TW/2Q/1D, 2 Golf Carts, Sunday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 11:00AM/CHECK IN 5:30PM) Located beside Bald Head's serene marsh, you'll find this five-bedroom, four-bath getaway down a peaceful, shaded boardwalk amongst loblollies and palms. When you reach the covered front rocking chair porch, take a second to stop and listen to the gentle breezes rustling leaves, punctuated by calming bird call.

As you step inside the two-story entry, you are greeted by warm hardwoods and drawn across the living area to the home's back wall of windows displaying the calming perspectives of the Island's estuary. These windows side this getaway's serene living space which features a fireplace, constructed-ins and egress to an oversize, water-facing wrap-around back screened porch. On the porch, you can relax on the hammock or in one of the three seating areas or savor a bite alfresco at one of the two dining tables-all while watching Nature's show of tides, egrets, and other wildlife. Steps down from here lead to this modest community's private dock-making it painless to fish, crab, kayak or paddleboard. Back inside, this open floor plan's close by dining space, cornered by windows, furnishes seating for nine with spots available for three more at the adjacent breakfast bar and offers another access to the screened porch. The generous kitchen provides a sizable prep island, plenty of storage and has the laundry conveniently close by. On the other side of this floor are two bedrooms. The first is a bright corner room with two Twins that uses the full bath, with tub, just outside its door. The sunlit corner Primary King suite charms with its wall of windows overlooking Bald Head Creek and has its own screened porch entree. It also features a huge, spa-like ensuite with a garden tub, shower and dual vanity and an oversize closet.

Upstairs, a cheery corner suite is outfitted with two Queens and enjoys its own ensuite with a tub/shower. There is also a second bedroom set up with two Doubles and a second Primary King suite with its own enormous full bath ensuite. All three of these upper bedrooms not only grant inspiring marsh tableaus through their windows but also deliver access to this floor's treetop deck-the ideal place to appreciate coffee while watching the sun rise or savor a peaceful read or peaceful nap.

​​​​​​​This BHI haven, located mid-island, close to stores, the Conservancy and just mins. to the beach, supplies guests with two six-passenger golf carts for their use and includes WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have discounts for local tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the best Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Nestled beside Bald Head's serene marsh, you'll find this wonderful oasis. has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, contact the host before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
