From the moment you board the passenger ferry on the mainland, you'll feel that a special experience awaits you when you arrive at Bald Head Island. This golfcart-only heaven provides a unique vacation experience for all ages. Feel it from our delightful home – Ibis Perch is a three-bedroom home located alongside the Bald Head Island Creek, with one of the most grand vistas of the sunrise over the marsh that you'll find on the island. We've freshly purchased this gorgeous home, made a few upgrades, and now we are ready to share our Happy Place with you!

Sit back on the back porch and savor the lavish sunrise each morning while listening to the wildlife. This is a reverse floor plan home with the main living, dining, kitchen, and half bath on the 2nd floor. Take advantage of the enormous broad windows overlooking the pretty marsh view and appreciate the fresh breezes while appreciating morning coffee while watching the sunrise on the deck. On the first floor, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, along with a full laundry room. The king master suite is roomy and comfortable, with a sitting area inside and a screened porch – fantastic vistas of the marsh can be seen from anywhere in the bedroom or screened porch (and there are blackout curtains in case you want to sleep in without the sunrise!). The second and third bedroom share a bath. One guest room has a queen while the other consists of two twins.

This family-friendly home is located on a peaceful cul-de-sac with only 3 other homes. We provide a infant gate to block the stairs so everybody can savor the upstairs open concept floorplan. We have games for all ages, puzzles and books available to enjoy. While we think you'll be watching sunrises and wildlife more than TV. Spectrum cable and Wifi are supplied, and all TVs are Intelligent TVs so you can log into your favorite streaming services with no problem. We have a Pack-N-Play and a booster seat available for our youngest guests.

2 4-passenger golf carts are supplied with your rental. Ibis Perch is located less than a mile from Old Baldy and the harbor area. It's a fast walk, bicycle ride or golf cart ride to the island boat ramp, where you can kayak or paddleboard in the marsh creek – and see Ibis Perch from a different view! Kayaks and paddleboards can be rented on BHI – just ask if you'd like more information.

Beaches are a short golf cart ride away, where you can enjoy a day in the sun and sea, as well as memorable sunsets. There are public access points all around the 13 miles of pristine beaches, so discover the island and the many different beach experiences. Our home does provide you with 3 bicycles, 6 beach chairs, and a variety of beach toys (including Bocce Ball). Bikes can be rented on BHI if you need more – just ask if you'd like more information. You can also bring your own bicycles on the ferry over with you!

We have a well-equipped kitchen outfitted with your essentials. We also have a gas grille, and a sizable stockpot if a crab boil is your thing! The basics – paper goods, soap and dish detergent – will also be included to you. You'll have access to blender, tea kettle, coffee maker (makes single cup or full pot), hand mixer and food processor, as well as all silverware, pots, pans and cooking supplies needed. Linens and towels are supplied with the rental, and we have a supply of beach towels in the laundry room as well (you're welcome to use them, but your rental agreement will indicate you are responsible for laundering and returning to the laundry cabinet).

A BHI Club lifestyle membership is available for a separate purchase. You can contact BHI Club for more information on cost.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Bald Head Island. To book the largest rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Wilmington, NC attractions.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine 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 information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Large windows taking in the marsh views on BHI; reverse floor plan and large deck for views! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of issues.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
