Welcome to Ru Ru's by the Sea on Bald Head Island, North Carolina.

Located in the peaceful and beautiful community of Ibis Roost, Ru Ru's by the sea is a place to savor all of the Bald Head Island magic located in the serene maritime forest. Our 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom bungalow is steps away from a very private community pool shared only by neighbors within the Ibis Roost community. With two beach cruisers, razor scooters as well as two golf carts (two four-passenger carts), we are located only mins. away from multiple beach access locations as well as the Maritime Market and other trendy shopping locations in the Maritime Forest.

BHI is our happy place and we hope you experience all the magic that we have grown to appreciate. To make our home delightful for your vacation, we have chosen furnishing and decor particularly with families in mind. The location of RuRu's by the Sea is ideal for a family. The kids will adore a swim in the private pool before bedtime making mom and dad's job all the easier. Run, do not walk, to the screened in porch to appreciate a peaceful glass of wine as the kids doze off from a fun day at the beach. Bicycle, cart or walk to discover the close by beaches or the wonder of the maritime forest.

Strategies for getting the best rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the most suitable rental home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Amazing, refreshing and serene- Coastal Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach attraction you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the host immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
