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 to get the very best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes 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 host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. NEW GOLF CARTS, Renovated and newly Furnished Welcome to Palm Paradise has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
