Bald Head Island Club- https://www.bhiclub.net/guest-... (this one is finished online)
A few notes about Club changes for 2022. They have changed dates when renters can access the clubs. Some dates/times are for permanent members only. Also, they capped how many temporary rental memberships are available, so request this ASAP before they sell out! Payment is now based on per person instead of per bedroom. Lastly, they are now capping the number of individual temporary members per home, and our home's cap is 10. If you have more than 10 guests, not all can use the club. I strongly suggest contacting the club to ask your questions and get clarification. Unfortunately, we do not know all of the details, and calling or emailing the club will be best at lobby@bhiclub.net. Once you make guest membership then you can contact diningres@bhiclub.net to make dining reservations during your stay.

Visit the club websites and see if the BHI Conservancy to learn more about the island's various pools, golf, kids camps, kids dissection classes, and more! Our family has really appreciated their amenities. The historic Old Baldy light home also offers a chance for a birds eye view of the island, while water crafts are also an option for those who savor sailing, kayaking and more.https://www.bhic.org/

Our top Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to a budget:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summer is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To get the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking yourrental home:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Bald Head Island Beach House on golf course beach access #9 Sleeps up to 15 has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of 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'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
