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 adore 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 for getting the best Bald Head Island rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.

• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
