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 peaceful cup of coffee, great conversation or board game. Get anywhere on the island quickly in one of our 4-person golf carts. Two come with your stay.

Our bungalow is in Surfman's Walk, mins. from East Beach -- an 8 min. walk or a 1 min. cart ride. The Surfman's Walk community is surrounded in boardwalk paths that meander through the Maritime Forest. It's a wonderfully calming walk.

Quality time is the best part of BHI, so we equipped our bungalow with tons of extras. Two 4-person golf carts, intelligent TVs in all bedrooms, gas grille, Nintendo Wii for dance events on rainy days, bluetooth speakers throughout the home, record player and record collection, games, kid toys, sand toys, beach chairs, fishings rods, body boards, sun shades, and more. Use our bicycles too! We have an adult bicycle with a infant seat, 3 kid bicycles (ideal for a 7-10 year old), 1 kid bicycle (for a 11+ year old). And of course, highchair and pack 'n play.

There are two bedrooms in the main home and one over the detached garage. All bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. So it's a ideal set up for a big group of friends, two families plus the grandparents, or one big family.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more - water filter on the kitchen tap, toaster oven, air fryer, Vitamix, Heritage Grille, Instapot, Cuisinart ice cream maker, quality kitchen knives, and plenty of cooking tools.

TV's in all bedrooms. Noise machines in all bedrooms too.

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

Strategies for getting the perfect Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons 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. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking 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 evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose and book the bestvacation home:

• To start, have your group commit to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Kick back and relax in our little slice of heaven, just moments away from East Beach has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available 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.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
