From the moment you board the passenger ferry on the mainland, you'll feel that a special experience awaits you when you arrive at Bald Head Island. This golfcart-only heaven provides a unique vacation experience for all ages. Feel it from our enchanting home – Ibis Perch is a three-bedroom home located alongside the Bald Head Island Creek, with one of the most impressive vistas of the sunrise over the marsh that you'll find on the island. We've newly purchased this pretty home, made a few upgrades, and now we are ready to share our Happy Place with you!

Sit back on the back porch and appreciate the lavish sunrise each morning while listening to the wildlife. This is a reverse floor plan home with the main living, dining, kitchen, and half bath on the 2nd floor. Take advantage of the enormous broad windows overlooking the pretty marsh view and savor the fresh breezes while appreciating morning coffee while watching the sunrise on the deck. On the first floor, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, along with a full laundry room. The king master suite is cavernous and comfortable, with a sitting area inside and a screened porch – fantastic vistas of the marsh can be seen from anywhere in the bedroom or screened porch (and there are blackout curtains in case you want to sleep in without the sunrise!). The second and third bedroom share a bath. One guest room has a queen while the other consists of two twins.

This family-friendly home is located on a peaceful cul-de-sac with only 3 other homes. We provide a infant gate to block the stairs so everybody can savor the upstairs open concept floorplan. We have games for all ages, puzzles and books available to enjoy. While we think you'll be watching sunrises and wildlife more than TV.

Tricks and tips for getting the best vacation property experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your Wrightsville Beach vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Perfect family home on the marsh with 2 golf carts! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach attraction you long to visit, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
