BHI Harbour - Beautiful Views - Vacation rental home in Bald Head Island, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 10
• 3 Bedrooms
• 3 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Harbour Village Cottage on Bald Head Island. This home is tucked back from all of the excitement of the Harbour, but close enough to have painless access to the marina, dining, and creek activities. The first floor has wrap-around decking with two covered porches and a screened porch. White-washed ship-lapped walls will give you a nostalgic island feel. Two bedrooms (one with ensuite bath) are off the main hall. There is also a roomy laundry room and full guest bath. Both full baths have delightfully tiled showers and deluxe vanities. Upstairs you will find the main living area. Other than the striking sunlight and peeks of the creek from nearly every window, you'll notice a huge office off of the living room which can be closed off by a barn door for privacy. There is a sleeper couch in this room, so it is conveniently converted to a 4th bedroom. The dining area and kitchen flow into each other and share a vaulted ceiling. The enormous island with quartz countertop and drink cooler compliments the stainless appliances and the apron front sink in the kitchen. There is another well appointed full bath off of the kitchen. Just off the living area is access to the calming creekview porch. A spiral staircase leads to the 3rd bedroom in the loft. Two constructed-in twin beds and a queen sized bed allow for more guests to stay. The bungalow also features new furnishings and comes with 3 golf carts. Renters have complimentary access to a 30-foot boat slip, C3. BHI Club (except golf) is available for temporary membership. Shoal's Club not available. House includes 4 bicycles, beach chairs, beach towels, body boards. One week minimum with exceptions.

Tips to get the best rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and picking your prefect Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• Start by having your group choose the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. BHI Harbour - Beautiful Views has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
