It is anchored by a decorative granite-faced fireplace and offers a comfortable setting for conversation as well as game-playing or movie-watching.

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, exceptional creekscapes.

This residence’s additional amenities include use of two golf carts, internet and an outdoor shower as well as a convenient location for going to close by esteemed East Beach, the Shoals Club or the Conservancy. 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!

Strategies to get the best vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To find the best value, try changing your family's Wrightsville Beach vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 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 vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. message the property manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. 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 your group have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
