As renters of many homes over the years, some really spectacular and others less so, we have taken the best of those experiences and applied them here so you have an exceptional vacation from initial booking through your stay. Should you book our home, we hope you make as many memories, smiles, and laughs as we have. Now, about the home...

- Reverse floor plan, open concept kitchen and living spaces with elevated ceilings and most importantly, broad 180 degree ocean vistas.

- Located directly across from a beach access (if you have never been to BHI, many homes, even those near the ocean, require you to load a cart and drive to a beach access. Our home is located directly in front of beach access #17, no loading and driving necessary!).

- Centrally located on the island, making trips to any attraction painless (BHI Club, Shoals Club, East Beach, the Market, the Marina), no trekking across the full island for anything.

- Newer beds, pillows and linens: 1 king, 2 queens (one with a twin trundle underneath), 1 bunk bed (with a full bed, twin bunk above, and twin trundle below).

- Each bedroom has its own dedicated full bathroom (three baths refreshed in 2023), with a 1/2 bath upstairs.

- Both club memberships (BHI and Shoals Club) are available to purchase for your stay. * While typically not an issue, some new rules we do not control, established by each club, are in place to limit guest memberships week to week. Please contact the respective clubs to inquire about availability for your desired stay.

- Newer carts (see pics): 4 passenger lifted and 6 passenger high speed limo (Old or bad carts can make for a less than ideal experience on the island. While any machine can have moments and issues, ours are clean, safe, and regularly professionally maintained reducing hassles for you as much as we can control).

- New intelligent TV's in all the bedrooms (youtube TV and Netflix are supplied, you can load your account for Hulu, Disney+, etc).

- High speed internet and access points to help with Zoom or Teams meetings, remote learning, and streaming entertainment. We have NetGear Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh Routers in place and the highest internet speeds available on the island.

- Elevator servicing all floors.

- Over 1,500 square feet of decking (NEW IPE for 2025).

- Renovated kitchen with quartz counters, wine refrigerator, gas stove top, high end cutlery, pods AND drip coffee maker.

- Beach towels, sand toys for kids, 8+ beach chairs (high and low), and a no fuss Shibumi Shade are supplied to lighten the travel load of our guests.

- Laundry on the main level (the bedroom level).

- Adirondacks on all decks for calming moments.

- Hi power hair dryers in bathrooms so you can pack a little lighter.

- Special secondary commercial grade HVAC filtration (in addition to the usual HVAC filtration) to help fight/kill more airborne contaminants.

- Useful links for your convenience (bhiclub.net, shoalsclub.com, baldheadislandferry.com)

Tips for getting the best rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Book your rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Searenity Now BHI - Spectacular Ocean Front Luxury Home, Sleeps 10 has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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 your group have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
