CreekFront! Dock! Views! 5.5 Bedroom - Vacation rental home in Bald Head Island, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 12
• 5 Bedrooms
• 5 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Please note that we spend family time on BHI each summer and typically cannot commit to certain summer weeks being available until we finalize our extended family summer availability schedule, usually by March at which time we will show all available and unavailable weeks.

Our 5.5 bedroom home & crofter is great for two or three families (fits three families of 2+2 very comfortably). The bed configuration is:
Main 4BR House: 1. K, 2. Q, 3. T + T-Trundle, 4. T x 2,
Crofter: Q plus loft w/T x 2
If you are a multi-family group, the crofter (with a Queen plus a loft with two Twins) is great for a family with two kids that wants to both be with the group but also some privacy - it has a full bath, dorm refrigerator, microwave & coffee pot (ladder access loft in crofter, so loft is not for the very little ones).

For those who appreciate a meal at home, there is plenty of seating for all and our galley-style kitchen is completely appointed with everything you'll need to make a memorable meal, complete with an unforgetable view.

Hop on one of our two LSV (Low Speed Car) street legal golf carts and you are at the beach in only mins.. (They will go 25+ MPH so please do not exceed the 18MPH BHI speed limit!) We spend time on the beach Every Single Day on BHI, and savor the open air golf cart ride there and back immensely BUT we also have the best of both worlds because we come home to the extraordinary and ever changing tapestry - that impressive Creek View. We think of it as an fantastic live painting that changes every day.

We enjoy watching Egrets, Ibis and Osprey from inside the home or while sitting in the broad screened porch. We watch our kids fish, crab, cast net, kayak and swim right out front daily. And what a treat to watch our 10 year old son dash straight out to the dock every morning for an hour or more barely remembering the existence of TV or video games.

We can walk left on the boardwalk out front and we are at the boat launch in about 2 mins.. Alternately we go the other way on the boardwalk with our first cup of coffee in hand every morning for an exceptional and inspiring 10 min. creek view board-'walk'.

And, with simple access to the floating dock you can bring or rent your boat! Or, enjoy a paddle on the creek by canoe or kayak (an absolute favorite activity for our whole family). We have a canoe and kayaks that are available to use.

Come enjoy our family home on the creek, we think you will appreciate it as much as we do!

Please note that we spend family time there each summer and typically cannot commit to certain weeks being available until we finalize our summer schedule, usually by March at which time we will show all available and unavailable weeks.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking a perfectrental:

• First, have your family commit to the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. CreekFront! Dock! Views! 5.5 Bedroom has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
