A personal note from the owners:

Welcome to our little piece of Heaven, Palm Paradise! We live in Apex, North Carolina just outside of Raleigh and we have six kids ages 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 and 5, three boys and three girls. We have been coming to Bald Head Island for the past 8 years. We are so grateful that we found Bald Head Island when our kids were modest. They have had the chance to grow up coming here, there is no other place like Bald Head Island. It is a very special place for us.

When we step onto the Ferry we leave behind the chaos of our daily lives and Bald Head Island is a place we can be fully present. There is something special about having no cars and being fully immersed in nature that accepts you to breath and just be. As soon as we arrive our kids are off on their own exploring on their bicycles and appreciating freedom to be kids in nature. We spend our days at the beaches playing games, surfing and making sand castles, then we head over to the club and spend late afternoons playing in the pool, playground and sunbathing while grabbing some pre dinner snacks. We usually have something in the crockpot or eat dinner at one of the eateries at the club or marina. We round out our evenings with family games around the dining room table or we all sit on the humongous sectional and watch a movie together.

There's always a trip or two to the market and shopping is a regular stop for the girls at the four clothing stores, of which thier favorite is Island Passage. The ice cream stops are a daily bicycle ride for us all! My kids favorite is the loco pops at the marina while we watch the yachts roll in and out. The kids usually pair off and go on their own for these adventures. We often go watch the sunsets together and the teenagers appreciate these Instagram photos!

There is the weekly Turtle Trot 5k, which is open to everybody and benefits the Conservancy (plus you get a great t-shirt for participating). You can follow all of the turtle nest hatchings and excavations, which is an exceptional opportunity for all ages to experience nature firsthand. There are bird outings, kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding, fishing and even nighttime rides to monitor the sea turtle nests with the interns. There are countless activities through the BHI Club as well, from kids' camps, to family games and holiday special events. After all of this activity, don't forget there is a full-service spa to pamper you, too!

Over the years we have created our rhythms of activities we do on the island, as well as peaceful time too. We spent time on the porch listening to the waves and watching the sunsets. Our little ones appreciate to climb the ancient oaks surrounding the home. This time with our family is priceless. When we are on the island time goes slower and is more intentional. We are so grateful to have this modest part of the island as our own and are excited to share it with you.

This is our vacation home, and we have prepared it to make it yours as well. We have rented many homes on the island, and have learned what we believe a great vacation home should have. We have worked hard to ensure our home has all the luxuries that we would want in an exceptional beach vacation home. As a parent of 6 I know what its like to haul all the stuff this sized family would need for a successful beach vacation and I have tried to minimize this for our guests.

Strategies to get the optimal Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. NEW GOLF CARTS, Renovated and newly Furnished Welcome to Palm Paradise has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
