(5BR, 4BA,SL12,2K/2TW/2Q/1D, 2 Golf Carts, Sunday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 11:00AM/CHECK IN 5:30PM) Located beside Bald Head's serene marsh, you'll find this five-bedroom, four-bath getaway down a peaceful, shaded boardwalk amongst loblollies and palms. When you reach the covered front rocking chair porch, take a second to stop and listen to the gentle breezes rustling leaves, punctuated by calming bird call.

As you step inside the two-story entryway, you are greeted by warm hardwoods and drawn across the living area to the home's back wall of windows displaying the peaceful perspectives of the Island's estuary. These windows side this getaway's serene living space which features a fireplace, constructed-ins and egress to an oversize, water-facing wrap-around back screened porch. On the porch, you can relax on the hammock or in one of the three seating areas or appreciate a bite alfresco at one of the two dining tables-all while watching Nature's show of tides, egrets, and other wildlife. Steps down from here lead to this modest community's private dock-making it simple to fish, crab, kayak or paddleboard. Back inside, this open floor plan's close by dining space, cornered by windows, furnishes seating for nine with spots available for three more at the adjacent breakfast bar and offers another access to the screened porch. The generous kitchen provides a enormous prep island, plenty of storage and has the laundry conveniently close by. On the other side of this floor are two bedrooms. The first is a bright corner room with two Twins that uses the full bath, with tub, just outside its door. The sunlit corner Primary King suite charms with its wall of windows overlooking Bald Head Creek and has its own screened porch entree. It also features a huge, spa-like ensuite with a garden tub, shower and dual vanity and an oversize closet.

Upstairs, a cheery corner suite is outfitted with two Queens and enjoys its own ensuite with a tub/shower. There is also a second bedroom set up with two Doubles and a second Primary King suite with its own sizable full bath ensuite. All three of these upper bedrooms not only grant inspiring marsh tableaus through their windows but also deliver access to this floor's treetop deck-the ideal place to savor coffee while watching the sun rise or savor a peaceful read or calming nap.

This BHI haven, located mid-island, close to stores, the Conservancy and just mins. to the beach, supplies guests with two six-passenger golf carts for their use and includes WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends.

Our top Vacation rental tips:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the best vacation rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Marsh Onward!: 5 BR, 4 BA House in Bald Head Island, Sleeps 12 has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is suitable for your trip.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a great stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
