(3BR, 3 BA, 2Q, 2Tw, SLPs 6, 1 Golf Cart, Pet Friendly, Friday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK IN 3:30PM / CHECK OUT 9:30AM) If relaxing tableaus are what you seek, look no farther than Au Beau Marais! This very private, dog friendly Harbour Village charmer, located on a peaceful cul-de-sac, abuts Bald Head Creek, and astounds with spectacular marsh perspectives. As you step under the arbor, through the white picket-fenced yard, you’ll perceive gentle ocean breezes as you alight to the covered front porch and into the comfortable entryway of this reverse floor plan.

To the left you’ll find a sunny corner suite with two Twins and a full bath (with tub) which also opens onto the hall. Beyond, a light-filled bayed Queen bedroom, with a sliding door, grants access to a waterside covered porch and sun deck. This is the ideal spot for dipping toes or communing with the Island’s natural inhabitants.

At the end of the hall, the Queen Owner’s Suite’s two walls of glass doors delight with panoramas of sun shining off the water of the Island’s lavish marshes. Grab an Adirondack just outside on the semi-covered deck and while away the hours. This suite also homes a huge Master Bath with his and her vanities, a water closet, a shower, and a enormous walk-in.

A laundry completes this level. At the top of the stairs, a roomy kitchen overlooks the sun-drenched vaulted living and dining areas which are surrounded by windows. A infant sizable sits in a bright bay just across from the extravagant dining space. Nearby, the generous living area, anchored by a slated fireplace, is very inviting but what steals the show are the halcyon Island prospects everywhere you look. Savor these inside or on this level’s bowed, semi-covered porch. It’s an superb place to watch the morning sunrise or relax with an afternoon treat…and it even renders glimpses all the way to Sunny Point! So appealingly located and appreciating proximity to the marina, stores, and eateries-as well as providing a four-passenger cart for guest use and including WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, Au Beau Marais will assure you un Beau Moment (a good time) on your vacation!

The crofter is not part of the rental unit. An additional $300 nonrefundable pet fee is required for each guest dog.

How to find the best rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Book your Wilmington, NC vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick the bestvacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Au Beau Marais: 3 BR, 3 BA House in Bald Head Island, Sleeps 6 has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to propel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
