Recently Renovate-striking Maritime Forest bungalow in the private community of Ibis Roost.

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 appreciate 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 fashionable 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 savor 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.

We belong to the Bald Head Island Club as Lifestyle Members (pool, golf and eateries). Restrictions do apply for temp members, inquire with the BHI CLUB. You may wish to purchase a guest membership separately to enjoy the new state of the art pool complex - a separate adult training pool, water slide and splash pad for the kids! This membership accepts for the opportunity to dine at the club eateries.

Ru Ru's by the sea is a 1500 sq foot bungalow in the Ibis Roost community. The Ibis Roost neighborhood is made up of 29 cottages on a peaceful cul-de-sac off of the main roads of the island - ideal for cycling and walking even with little ones! RuRu's is directly across from the shared community pool.

Our bungalow features three bedrooms (two downstairs and an open loft third upstairs) and three bathrooms. Downstairs, you will find a king master bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The second main floor bedroom features a queen bed and full sized bed with a full bath just across the hall. The main living area room is open concept to the dining room with plenty of comfortable seating and space to spread out.

The kitchen was completely refreshed in 2021 with brand new appliances and cabinetry.

The upstairs open loft area is the ideal space for kids and teens, or even for a modest family to share. The bedroom features two twin over twin bunk beds.

New floors were installed in 2021 throughout the home as well as new wall to wall carpet. All bedrooms as well as the living room are equipped with intelligent TVs.
Off of the living room is a cozy screened in porch with appreciate seat and chair where you can relax under the breeze of a ceiling fan listening to the many relaxing sounds of the forest.

Tricks and tips to get the best Bald Head Island rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

  • The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
  • Summer is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Wrightsville Beach restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
  • Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
  • Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
  • Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect rental in the Wrightsville Beach area:

  • Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
  • Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Amazing, refreshing and serene- Coastal Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
  • Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
  • Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

  • Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
  • Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
  • Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
  • Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-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.
  • After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor.

Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
