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 impressive home – Ibis Perch is a three-bedroom home located alongside the Bald Head Island Creek, with one of the most elegant vistas of the sunrise over the marsh that you'll find on the island. We've newly purchased this striking home, made a few upgrades, and now we are ready to share our Happy Place with you!

Sit back on the back porch and savor the gorgeous 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 huge broad windows overlooking the pretty marsh view and appreciate 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 – magnificant 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 to get the very best Wrightsville Beach vacation rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early.

• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. Book your Wrightsville Beach vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.
