We're the proud owners of Mears Merritime and are pleased to say we've been helping families make BHI vacation memories since 2005. Our vacation rental philosophy is rather simple really -- we think you should spend your money appreciating everything that Bald Head Island has to offer -- not paying for your vacation rental! This is why we are so committed to providing as well appointed accommodations as possible while at the same time keeping our rental costs as reasonable as possible. That means you appreciate the amenities you've come to expect...but at a price that will pleasantly surprise you!

We simply don't believe there is a better value on the island, and we are definitely committed to doing all we can to help you plan and savor your BHI experience! That means personal attention to you and all the details!

Your ultimate vacation begins as soon as you board the ferry for Bald Head Island at Southport's ferry facilities. Now it's time to kick back and relax! The 20-min. ferry ride to the island fills you with the anticipation of knowing that for the next week or so, you're on 'Turtle Time'! For those of you who've been there - you know what we're talking about. For you first-timers, it's nothing like you've experienced before!

Nature abounds around our comfortable, entirely-furnished, 3-bedroom, 2-bath enchanted bungalow home. Located in the sub-tropical maritime forest, amid the ancient live oaks and sabal palm trees, this beautiful family home is surrounded by a deck, with a screened-in crofter/gazebo attached. Our enchanting bungalow also features a garage, with 2-4 pass golf carts supplied. Tooling around on the island in the cart (remember - the speed limit is 18 mph!) is half the fun of getting to your island destination! The decor and many amenities add to its appeal, comfort, and ambiance. We've tried to think of every detail, from the numerous games and DVD/VCR movies on site to the wireless internet; from the Egyptian cotton sheets to the featherbed toppers in every room. The kitchen has been completely refreshed and provides the equipment that makes meal preparation a enjoyment. Two freshly updated bathrooms are equipped with features you'll appreciate. It's the ideal setting for your family vacation - including your well-behaved dog! Appreciate the hustle and bustle of all the island has to offer during the day -- swimming, golf, tennis, kayaking, cycling and hiking -- it's always nicer to return to your home in the peaceful, secluded forest for a calming evening.

Centrally located on Edward Teach Wynd, our home is just mins. away from the harbor area, 'Old Baldy', the chapel, creek access, golf course, both clubs and conveniently located near the Maritime Market, hardware store, spa and gift stores. It's less than a 3-min. golf cart ride to the beach! If you're into golf, tennis, or croquet, or just prefer relaxing by the pool with a good book, temporary memberships at both the Bald Head Island Club and the Shoals Club are available to purchase for your use and enjoyment. Unlike a lot of units, you decide IF you want to go, WHERE you want to go, WHEN you want to go and for HOW LONG! Our memberships at both clubs provide you with the flexibility your family seeks in planning your ultimate vacation. Links to review each club are included below!

Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To get the best value, consider changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Pet friendly home centrally located on island. Screened in porch with nature views and 2 golf carts has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
