Mystical Marsh embraces nature’s majesty and provides discerning visitors the chance to really get away from it all. Located in the very private Middle Island community of Bald Head, this five-bedroom, 4.5 bath residence, hugged by live oaks and palms, spotlights awe-inspiring Bald Head Creek and Marsh vistas.

Outside, Mystical Marsh proffers a front rocking-chair porch and a screened porch, two ground-level decks, two back open porches and a rooftop/second floor deck-all ideal for estuary observation or relaxing moments appreciating whispering breezes, sea air and the Island's peaceful calm.

Inside, the home’s open floor plan and proliferation of windows take full advantage of light and nature's charming tableaus. The living area is surrounded by a humongous boxed bay set of windows. It is anchored by a decorative granite-faced fireplace and offers a comfortable setting for conversation as well as game-playing or movie-watching.

Adjacent, the dining space features a very huge farm table which comfortably accommodates ten. Beyond, the breakfast bar offers another four seats. The kitchen features stainless Jenn-Air appliances, a wine cooler and plenty of granite counter space for prepping delicious snacks. The first floor also includes a powder room and the King Primary suite with its own sitting area, private porch and ensuite with a jetted tub.

The home’s second level is accessible by both a front and back stairs. Up the back stairs, you’ll find a bunk room with two Twin bunk beds and a day bed. Beyond, up three steps, is a King bedroom with vaulted ceilings and covetous vistas. These share a close by full bath featuring a walk-in shower. Down the hall are a day bed (offering additional sleeping space) and another vaulted bedroom. The latter is furnished with Twin beds and delivers more spectacular marsh vistas. Across the hall is still another full bath with a tub/shower. The balcony tenders an office alcove-a great spot to get a little business done, if needed, and at the end of the hall is the upstairs Queen Owner Suite. Its location affords additional privacy. This chamber provides another ensuite with walk-in shower, a walk-in closet, access to a private porch and, of course, striking creekscapes.

This residence’s additional amenities include a convenient location for going to close by esteemed East Beach, the Shoals Club or the Conservancy, the use of two golf carts, internet, an outdoor shower and WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends. If you seek the magical quietude of Bald Head’s Marsh and Creek, you’ll find it when you vacation at BHI’s Mystical Marsh!

How to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. Booking in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to pick the perfect rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Start by having your group decide on dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Mystical Marsh-for discerning vacationers who long for natural serenity has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. 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 you have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
