Kick back and relax in our little slice of heaven, just moments away from East Beach. Tucked inside the shade of the enchanting Maritime Forest, our bungalow is the ideal hideaway for families and beach lovers needing to let loose, breath deep and have fun! Catch a cool ocean breeze from one of our two comfortable screened in porches -- ideal for a relaxing cup of coffee, great conversation or family board game. Get anywhere on the island quickly in one of our 4-person golf carts. Two come with your stay.

Because quality time is the best part of BHI, we equipped our bungalow with tons of extras. Two 4-person golf carts, streaming services on a 55” intelligent TV, TVs in most bedrooms, gas grille, highchair, cribs, games, kid toys and sand toys, beach chairs, fishings rods, body boards, sun shades, and more. Use our bicycles too! We have two adult bicycles (one with a kid seat on the back) and one kid bicycle (ideal for a 7-10 year old).

There are two bedrooms in the main home and one over the detached garage. All bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. A ideal set up for a group of friends, two modest families or one big family.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more - Burkee water filter, toaster oven, air fryer, Instapot pressure cooker and slow cooker, Cuisinart ice cream maker, and quality kitchen knives.

All bedrooms come with Dom sound machines. Both guest rooms have a TV with streaming services or DVD player and tons of DVDs.

Guests have the option to purchase a guest pass to the BHI Club or Shoals Club, which has many amazing amenities, including golf, pools, playgrounds, and eateries. It's a must for a family beach vacation!

From June to Labor Day, our typical check-In/check-out days are on Friday. If you have questions, feel complimentary to message us.

Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your Carolina Beach vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. 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 guide magazines have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Bald Head Island:

• To start, have your family decide on trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Cozy Family Retreat Near East Beach has 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you love, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. 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 excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
