Mystical Marsh embraces nature’s majesty and provides discerning visitors the chance to really get away from it all. Located in the very private Middle Island community of Bald Head, this five-bedroom, 4.5 bath residence, hugged by live oaks and palms, spotlights awe-inspiring Bald Head Creek and Marsh vistas.

Outside, Mystical Marsh proffers a front rocking-chair porch and a screened porch, two ground-level decks, two back open porches and a rooftop/second floor deck-all ideal for estuary observation or relaxing moments appreciating whispering breezes, sea air and the Island's peaceful calm.

Inside, the home’s open floor plan and proliferation of windows take full advantage of light and nature's elegant tableaus. The living area is surrounded by a giant boxed bay set of windows. It is anchored by a decorative granite-faced fireplace and offers a comfortable setting for conversation as well as game-playing or movie-watching.

Adjacent, the dining space features a very sizable farm table which effortlessly accommodates ten. Beyond, the breakfast bar offers another four seats. The kitchen features stainless Jenn-Air appliances, a wine cooler and plenty of granite counter space for prepping delicious snacks. The first floor also includes a powder room and the King Primary suite with its own sitting area, private porch and ensuite with a jetted tub.

The home’s second level is accessible by both a front and back stairs. Up the back stairs, you’ll find a bunk room with two Twin bunk beds and a day bed. Beyond, up three steps, is a King bedroom with vaulted ceilings and covetous vistas. These share a close by full bath featuring a walk-in shower. Down the hall are a day bed (offering additional sleeping space) and another vaulted bedroom. The latter is furnished with Twin beds and delivers more spectacular marsh vistas. Across the hall is still another full bath with a tub/shower. The balcony tenders an office alcove-a great spot to get a little business done, if needed, and at the end of the hall is the upstairs Queen Owner Suite. Its location affords additional privacy. This chamber provides another ensuite with walk-in shower, a walk-in closet, access to a private porch and, of course, gorgeous creekscapes.

This residence’s additional amenities include a convenient location for going to close by esteemed East Beach, the Shoals Club or the Conservancy, the use of two golf carts, internet, an outdoor shower and WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends. If you seek the magical quietude of Bald Head’s Marsh and Creek, you’ll find it when you vacation at BHI’s Mystical Marsh!

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Cape Fear area rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your Cape Fear area rental in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Cape Fear area rental:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Mystical Marsh-for discerning vacationers who long for natural serenity has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
