Welcome to our family's home away from home: "Lighthouse Point." We lived in Lighthouse Point, Florida, when we were first married and adored our beach time there. Fifteen years, three kids, and one move to North Carolina later... we discovered Bald Head Island, our new beach favorite!

The beach access is just steps from the home, which means it's simple to traverse with your kids and beach gear in tow. We're adjacent to the Bald Head Island Club so you have a short walk or a one-min. golf cart ride to savor all the amenities there, which include multiple pools with splash pads and slides, a playground, golf, tennis, exercise facility, croquet, casual dining poolside at Horizons and fine dining inside the club. Our home is also just mins. to the Maritime Market, Shoals Club, as well as all of the fun activities on the island.

"Lighthouse Point BHI" is 2500 sq. ft. with over 800 sq. ft. of covered porches so you can take advantage of the spectacular ocean vistas and beautiful sunsets. There is covered parking under the home for the two golf carts (one 4-passenger and one 6-passenger supplied with the rental) as well as an outdoor shower to clean off after a day at the beach.

The first floor features 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a laundry area, and a kid's lounge with a 65" SmartTV and comfortable couch (accepting the adults peaceful time upstairs!). Our home sleeps 10, but we have a home rule of a max of 6 adults. The kids' lounge has a sizable bay window and access to the porch. There are constructed-ins with toys and games for all ages. The first master has a king-size bed and ocean vistas. You can access the covered porch from the master and relax in the rocking chairs while listening to the waves! The extravagant attached bath has a huge double vanity with quartz countertops and an upsized tiled shower. The second master also has a king bed and attached bath with quartz vanity and tiled shower. Both masters also include 55" SmartTVs. The third bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk room. The bunk room has one twin-over-twin and one twin-over-full bunk bed (sleeps 4-5 kiddos).

The second floor is a completely open concept that flows onto a huge covered porch with beautiful ocean vistas. This is the ideal place for appreciating calming dinners! The kitchen includes bespoke cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a enormous center island, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, wine refrigerator, and walk-in pantry. The dining area has a sizable table with seating for 8 in addition to seating for 4 at the island. There is a cozy sitting room -- ideal for reading a book or watching the sunsets. The family room has a large sectional, a wall of bespoke constructed-ins, and a 65" SmartTV.

Finding the best Wilmington, NC rental home experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Ocean View - Family Friendly - Steps to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or applied to your invoice.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
