Welcome to the Timbercreek 6A, also known as “THE VIEW”. TC 6A is a newly refreshed condominium, three-bedrooms plus a sleeping loft, on Bald Head Island. Many years ago, a long time Bald Head Islander told us that we had the most spectacular marsh view on the Island. We’ve now owned our place at Timbercreek for over twenty five years and have never seen a better view. From our top floor screen porch, looking west, you see the BHI Marina, Cape Fear River and Southport. Looking east, down the tidal marsh, you see the homes on East Beach that face the Atlantic. Ahead of you, looking north, is a impressive panorama …… 10,000 acres of tidal marsh, the meandering Bald Head Creek, Middle Island and other modest pine islands. When we first came to Bald Head Island in 1989, we rented at Timbercreek. Sitting on the screen porch that first evening, we witnessed a striking full moon rising over the marsh. This is magical, we thought. The next day, we learned that Timbercreek 6A was for sale. The rest is history. It’s still magical.

Timbercreek 6A was remodeled in 2010 – 2011. The new kitchen with granite counters is a thing of beauty. The two bathrooms were completely redone with granite-topped vanities and tiled showers. There are new interior doors, new lighting, new rugs, a new dining table and a new 50-inch TV that fits generously in the new bespoke cabinet. The following amenities are yours with a Timbercreek 6A rental:

• A sizable screen porch with rockers and a expansive view
• A separate sun deck for morning coffee and sunbathing
• Three bedrooms with 1 king, 1 queen and 2 twin beds
• A loft with 2 twin beds and a second TV (great for the kids)
• All linens and bath towels are supplied
• Two updated full bathrooms with attractively tiled showers
• A completely equipped, freshly modernized kitchen
• A crib and high chair for little ones
• A 50-inch TV with digital cable and wireless Internet
• A four person golf cart and six-person golf cart with a cover for cool or rainy days
• Four kayaks, four bicycles, and body boards, beach chairs and an umbrella
• An optional temporary membership in the Bald Head Island Club and/or the Shoals Club. Each Club has an additional weekly fee for a temporary membership, which varies depending on the time of year.
• A full cleaning on departure is included in the rental price
• An on-Island manager for your convenience
• Pet friendly for an additional pet fee

Your vacation on Bald Head Island has so many possibilities. A few examples: cycling, hiking, kayaking, birding, sun bathing, ocean swimming, pool swimming, shelling & beach combing, body boarding, body surfing, fishing, crabbing, walking the nature trails, walking the Point at low tide, turtle walks led by the BHI Conservancy. Or just put your feet up and relax.

There are no cars on Bald Head Island. You park your car at the ferry lot on the mainland and use a golf cart while on the Island. Our screen porch is one of the most peaceful places on the Island. We regularly see egrets, ibis, osprey, herons and other shore birds as well as the occasional painted bunting or dolphins in the creek. Leave your cares on the mainland and come to a magical island.

Telephone or e-mail us for more details. We do use an on-Island agent/manager to manage your check-in, the security deposit or damage insurance (at your option) and cleaning to make sure your vacation goes off without a hitch.

Tricks and tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. 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? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. 'The View' - Rent the Most Spectacular View on Bald Head has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you crave, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or applied to your agreement.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
