(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 entry 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 striking 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 grandiose sits in a bright bay just across from the handsome 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 striking place to watch the morning sunrise or relax with an afternoon treat…and it even renders glimpses all the way to Sunny Point! So charmingly 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.

Strategies for getting the perfect Bald Head Island vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members 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 or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing the perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Waterfront Harbor Home! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your family.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
