• Approximately 1346 square feet

We are a family of six (two boys and two girls), who relocated to NC from Florida just over 15 years ago. We took multiple family beach trips when we first moved here, and never felt like the beaches compared to what we left in FL. That is, until we discovered BHI just a few years ago. We fell in appreciate with the beauty and diversity of the island, and made it a goal to have a home here. Now we are excited to share this home with you...

Our home is ideal for families, couples, or even a get-away for just the guys/girls! It's conveniently located in the Maritime Forest, just mins. from Cape Fear Commons, the Conservancy, and the coveted East Beach. There is a calming outdoor spot to grille (one gas and one charcoal grille supplied) right in front of the home. There are two screened-in porches, one in the front and another in the back, where you can sit and relax, appreciating the sounds of the birds and the ocean breeze. The main living area has an refreshed kitchen , bar area, dining room, and a charming living room. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom. One bedroom has 1 queen bed and the other has 2 twins and 2 trundles. The community has a wooden boardwalk, which can be accessed from the back porch.

Also supplied are bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, basic toiletries, beach chairs/umbrella, and a new pack and play and high chair. Your rental also comes with two golf carts, both 4 seaters. A Lifestyle Bald Head Island Club membership is attached to this home, and guest passes can be purchased directly from the club. If you choose to purchase, your guest passes will include access to the golf course, resort pool, croquet & tennis courts, and eateries.

We personally manage the units for our home, and savor developing a relationship with each renter. We are always available by text, phone, or e-mail and have on-island support staff to handle any issues that may arise during your stay. We are confident that you will be more than pleased with our home, and we're sure you will fall in appreciate with Bald Head Island, just as we have. We look forward to sharing our home with you!

Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking the right Wrightsville Beach vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your family choose date ranges and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Cozy & Coastal Cottage near East Beach *BHI Club available* has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
