Harmony Cottage is a four bedroom, 4.5 bath oceanside sanctuary centrally located on Bald Head Island. From its shaded rocking-chair porch, you enter this impressive getaway and are immediately drawn to its back wall of glass showcasing unobstructed panoramas of the Atlantic (sweeping all the way to Frying Pan Shoals). Inside, the open floor plan takes advantage of not only the scenery, but also the warm, natural light. The comfortable living area is anchored by a decorative fireplace and offers games, books and a huge flat screen TV. Savor the vistas from here or step through to the covered beachfront back porch and linger while you relish the sunshine and watch the dolphins play. Step down to your private boardwalk and take the very short journey to the sand.
Back inside, the well-appointed dining space's unique chandeliers and oyster candlesticks are but two of the tasteful decorator touches you'll appreciate. You can have your meals at the dining area's table for ten or munch alfresco on the adjacent waterfront screened porch. The cheerful kitchen features a breakfast bar, stainless appliances, granite counters, a pantry and is convenient to the laundry room and a half bath.
This floor also homes the generous King Master with its own beach perspectives, private access to the ocean porch, two closets and a pampering bath with a enormous tiled shower, dual vanities, a water closet and a sunken tub.
Upstairs, you're greeted by another bright gathering space with a cove ceiling. It's ideal for cozy conversations, late-nighttime movie watching, peaceful reading or even a nap! This level is also home to three more suites. The first is a bunk room with twin bunk beds and a separate twin with a twin trundle. It affords water scenes, tons of constructed-ins and its own private bath. The second is a sunny Queen suite delighting with shining seascapes through its Palladian window and provides a full bath which also has hall access. The third suite is very cavernous and also proffers a Queen with calming ocean tableaus and a private full bath. All bedrooms are equipped with cooling ceiling fans.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Bald Head Island rental experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, try changing your family's Carolina Beach vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Harmony Cottage is a 4 BR\/ 4.5 BA Oceanfront Retreat! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is right for your family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you crave, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
