- Welcome to Life on the Sea -

After renting on Bald Head Island for many years, our family purchased an older home and completely rebuilt/refreshed the home in 2015 and newly refreshed it in 2023.

Professionally decorated and designed to maximize comfort and luxury, Life on the Sea is equipped for a fun and calming vacation for your family and friends.

We have five comfortable and elegantly decorated bedrooms (Two primaries - one downstairs and one upstairs) each with private bath. Four of the rooms are oceanside with decks. The bunkroom offers a fun sleeping arrangement for the kids.

The first floor features a huge living area with 50-inch, flat screen HD TV and Spectrum TV with sizable dining table that seats eight. The entire front of the home is lined with 5 1/2 foot windows (and three skylights) facing the ocean which fills the main living area with loads of natural light and handsome vistas.

The open gourmet kitchen features Thermador appliances, granite counter tops and is flanked on two sides by a breakfast bar that seats a total of five. A dry bar, supplied with a variety of glassware, offers a drink refrigerator and ice maker.

The upstairs loft has a comfortable seating area with 55 inch, flat screen HD TV with Spectrum TV, along with a game table. In addition, window seats in the dormers provide the ideal spot to read a book. Painted wood floors are throughout the home.

A huge laundry room is also on the first floor.

Decking expands the width of the home and is outfitted with numerous adirondak and rocking chairs. Under the home is a enormous, clean, outside shower and multiple beach toys, including body and skim boards. Beach towels are also supplied. The home comes with a 6-seater and a 4-seater golf cart.

Our guests have the opportunity to rent a temporary Lifestyle Membership to the Bald Head Island Club which offers golf, tennis, a exercise club, an broad aquatic area (kid and adult pools) along with casual and fine dining. Pricing varies with time of year.

Five Stars! Our event of 10 adored a marvelous spring break week at Life on the Sea! The home offered plenty of room and privacy for our group of 4 adults and 6 college students. The home is definitely a great vacation spot for all ages and occasions! We appreciate to prepare and appreciated the well-appointed kitchen. The beachfront location is ideal and the vistas from the home are lavish. The home was very clean and so generously decorated. It was nice to have two golf carts to discover the island. Lots of fun was had by all! We will definitely be back and will recommend this handsome home to all our family and friends!

We enjoyed our stay at Life on the Sea! The location is ideal. We were so happy to find nice beach chairs. The layout worked well for us and we appreciated having private bathrooms off of each bedroom and a separate space for the kids to watch movies. The vistas and the light in the home because of its windows and its openness make it an uplifting place to be.

We spent a phenomenal week here for our daughter's wedding. The home is marvelous! We enjoyed being across the street from the ocean. Our 80-year-old grandmother appreciated having her room on the main floor and she had no difficulty with the steps going to the beach. Interestingly we discovered bioluminescent photo plankton on the beach. Stomping the sand or swishing your foot on the sand at nighttime create a dazzling sparkle show. Amazing. The property manager was so helpful and everything went so smoothly could not have asked for a better place or a better property manager.

Strategies to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable 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 near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Choosing and booking the bestrental home:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Stunning Oceanfront - Expansive Views - Central Location near Market & BHI Club has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your family.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. message the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
