We're the proud owners of Mears Merritime and are pleased to say we've been helping families make BHI vacation memories since 2005. Our vacation rental philosophy is rather simple really -- we think you should spend your money appreciating everything that Bald Head Island has to offer -- not paying for your vacation rental! This is why we are so committed to providing as well appointed accommodations as possible while at the same time keeping our rental costs as reasonable as possible. That means you appreciate the amenities you've come to expect...but at a price that will pleasantly surprise you!

We simply don't believe there is a better value on the island, and we are definitely committed to doing all we can to help you plan and savor your BHI experience! That means personal attention to you and all the details!

Your ultimate vacation begins as soon as you board the ferry for Bald Head Island at Southport's ferry facilities. Now it's time to kick back and relax! The 20-min. ferry ride to the island fills you with the anticipation of knowing that for the next week or so, you're on 'Turtle Time'! For those of you who've been there - you know what we're talking about. For you first-timers, it's nothing like you've experienced before!

Nature abounds around our comfortable, entirely-furnished, 3-bedroom, 2-bath enchanted bungalow home. Located in the sub-tropical maritime forest, amid the ancient live oaks and sabal palm trees, this appealing family home is surrounded by a deck, with a screened-in crofter/gazebo attached. Our enchanting bungalow also features a garage, with 2-4 pass golf carts supplied. Tooling around on the island in the cart (remember - the speed limit is 18 mph!) is half the fun of getting to your island destination! The decor and many amenities add to its appeal, comfort, and ambiance. We've tried to think of every detail, from the numerous games and DVD/VCR movies on site to the wireless internet; from the Egyptian cotton sheets to the featherbed toppers in every room. The kitchen has been completely refreshed and provides the equipment that makes meal preparation a enjoyment. Two freshly refreshed bathrooms are equipped with features you'll adore. It's the ideal setting for your family vacation - including your well-behaved dog! Savor the hustle and bustle of all the island has to offer during the day -- swimming, golf, tennis, kayaking, cycling and hiking -- it's always nicer to return to your home in the peaceful, secluded forest for a calming evening.

Centrally located on Edward Teach Wynd, our home is just mins. away from the harbor area, 'Old Baldy', the chapel, creek access, golf course, both clubs and conveniently located near the Maritime Market, hardware store, spa and gift stores. It's less than a 3-min. golf cart ride to the beach! If you're into golf, tennis, or croquet, or just prefer relaxing by the pool with a good book, temporary memberships at both the Bald Head Island Club and the Shoals Club are available to purchase for your use and enjoyment. Unlike a lot of units, you decide IF you want to go, WHERE you want to go, WHEN you want to go and for HOW LONG! Our memberships at both clubs provide you with the flexibility your family seeks in planning your ultimate vacation. Links to review each club are included below!

Our top Rental home tips:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Wrightsville Beach restaurants, tours, and activities.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family select trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Pet friendly home centrally located on island. Screened in porch with nature views and 2 golf carts has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is right for your family.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
