Harmony Cottage is a four bedroom, 4.5 bath oceanside sanctuary centrally located on Bald Head Island. From its shaded rocking-chair porch, you enter this handsome getaway and are immediately drawn to its back wall of glass showcasing unobstructed panoramas of the Atlantic (sweeping all the way to Frying Pan Shoals). Inside, the open floor plan takes advantage of not only the scenery, but also the warm, natural light. The comfortable living area is anchored by a decorative fireplace and offers games, books and a enormous flat screen TV. Savor the vistas from here or step through to the covered beachfront back porch and linger while you relish the sunshine and watch the dolphins play. Step down to your private boardwalk and take the very short journey to the sand.
Back inside, the well-appointed dining space's unique chandeliers and oyster candlesticks are but two of the tasteful decorator touches you'll appreciate. You can have your meals at the dining area's table for ten or munch alfresco on the adjacent waterfront screened porch. The cheerful kitchen features a breakfast bar, stainless appliances, granite counters, a pantry and is convenient to the laundry room and a half bath.
This floor also homes the generous King Master with its own beach perspectives, private access to the ocean porch, two closets and a pampering bath with a huge tiled shower, dual vanities, a water closet and a sunken tub.
Upstairs, you're greeted by another bright gathering space with a cove ceiling. It's ideal for cozy conversations, late-nighttime movie watching, peaceful reading or even a nap! This level is also home to three more suites. The first is a bunk room with twin bunk beds and a separate twin with a twin trundle. It affords water scenes, tons of constructed-ins and its own private bath. The second is a sunny Queen suite delighting with shining seascapes through its Palladian window and provides a full bath which also has hall access. The third suite is very roomy and also proffers a Queen with calming ocean tableaus and a private full bath. All bedrooms are equipped with cooling ceiling fans.

Strategies for getting the best rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation home in Bald Head Island:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Harmony Cottage is a 4 BR\/ 4.5 BA Oceanfront Retreat! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach attraction you are crazy about, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
