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 handsome 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 modernized 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 gorgeously in the new bespoke cabinet. The following amenities are yours with a Timbercreek 6A rental:

• A huge 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 included
• Two updated full bathrooms with charmingly tiled showers
• A completely equipped, newly remodeled 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 supplied 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 relaxing 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.

Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Choosing and booking the right Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 'The View' - Rent the Most Spectacular View on Bald Head has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your family.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

Advice for your stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
