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 pretty home – Ibis Perch is a three-bedroom home located alongside the Bald Head Island Creek, with one of the most excellent vistas of the sunrise over the marsh that you'll find on the island. We've freshly purchased this elegant 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 elegant 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 charming 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 roomy and comfortable, with a sitting area inside and a screened porch – marvelous 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. Spectrum cable and Wifi are supplied, and all TVs are Intelligent TVs so you can log into your favorite streaming services with no problem. We have a Pack-N-Play and a booster seat available for our youngest guests.

2 4-passenger golf carts are supplied with your rental. Ibis Perch is located less than a mile from Old Baldy and the harbor area. It's a fast walk, bicycle ride or golf cart ride to the island boat ramp, where you can kayak or paddleboard in the marsh creek – and see Ibis Perch from a different view! Kayaks and paddleboards can be rented on BHI – just ask if you'd like more information.

Beaches are a short golf cart ride away, where you can enjoy a day in the sun and sea, as well as memorable sunsets. There are public access points all around the 13 miles of pristine beaches, so discover the island and the many different beach experiences. Our home does provide you with 3 bicycles, 6 beach chairs, and a variety of beach toys (including Bocce Ball). Bikes can be rented on BHI if you need more – just ask if you'd like more information. You can also bring your own bicycles on the ferry over with you!

We have a well-equipped kitchen supplied with your essentials. We also have a gas grille, and a huge stockpot if a crab boil is your thing! The basics – paper goods, soap and dish detergent – will also be supplied to you. You'll have access to blender, tea kettle, coffee maker (makes single cup or full pot), hand mixer and food processor, as well as all silverware, pots, pans and cooking supplies needed. Linens and towels are supplied with the rental, and we have a supply of beach towels in the laundry room as well (you're welcome to use them, but your rental agreement will indicate you are responsible for laundering and returning to the laundry cabinet).

A BHI Club lifestyle membership is available for a separate purchase. You can contact BHI Club for more information on cost. The guest membership will provide you with access to pools, eateries and exercise facilities as well as golf (greens costs required), tennis, pickle ball and croquet (additional fee required).

Getting the best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To get the best vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wrightsville Beach restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best rental home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Large windows taking in the marsh views on BHI; reverse floor plan and large deck for views! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges applied to your invoice.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
