Camera disclosure: BHI is a special community often described as “going back in time” – while it is a very safe and friendly community, theft can still occur. PLEASE NOTE - in an effort to keep our home protected, we have an outdoor security system. There are three clearly visible exterior cameras located at entry points to the bungalow - front door garage, and back porch.

No pet policy violation: We have opted to keep our home pet-complimentary for a variety of reasons, and maintain a strict no-pet policy. Please note that under North Carolina Law, Emotional Support Animals are not exempt from the no-pet policy. Bringing an unauthorized pet to the bungalow will incur a $500 fee and, per VrBO policy, your booking can be cancelled without refund.

Getting the best Bald Head Island rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Wrightsville Beach rental in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes 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 group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Updated 4 BR home in Cape Fear Station by East Beach with access to Shoals Club has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email the property management company before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
