BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: Beach AND Maritime Forest

IMPORTANT BOOKING NOTE: During JUNE, JULY & AUGUST this home ONLY rents BY THE WEEK from SUNDAY to SUNDAY. All booking requests for reservations during JUNE, JULY or AUGUST must be for a SUNDAY TO SUNDAY booking or the reservation request will not be considered for approval. During non-summer months after Labor Day weekend until Memorial Day weekend the home will be available for minimum 4 day rentals depending on the month with the exception that non summer weeks that include a major holiday require a minimum one week rental. RESERVATION REQUESTS FOR SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, APRIL AND MAY WILL ONLY BE CONSIDERED IF THE RESERVATION REQUEST IS FOR A MINIMUM OF 6 DAYS. SINCE WE STILL GET RESERVATION REQUESTS DURING THOSE MONTHS FOR FULL WEEKLY RENTALS WE PREFER THAT IF YOU ARE RENTING FOR LESS THAN A WEEK THAT YOUR RESERVATION REQUEST END ON A SUNDAY BUT WE WILL CONSIDER EACH "OFF SEASON" (eg non-summer) RESERVATION REQUEST ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS AND TRY TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WILL WORK FOR YOU AND WORK FOR OUR OTHER ANTICIPATED OFF-SEASON RESERVATIONS ALSO. SHOALS CLUB AND BALD HEAD ISLAND CLUB TEMPORARY MEMBERSHIPS: Lindy and I are members of both clubs and that enables our guests who want club amenities during their stay to purchase guest memberships from either club directly from each club. Once you have reserved our home you will have access to the Welcome Guide which has links to download the short and easy to fill out guest membership applications. PET FEE: Pet fee is $100 per dog (sorry, no cats) per stay. The VRBO computer reservations system only has an option for paying the $100 for the first pet and you will need to mail us a check after your reservation has been approved for the $100 pet fee for each pet that you have not already paid for through VRBO. ONLY DOGS ARE ALLOWED due to allergies other guests may have. This is a VERY nice home and WE DO NOT RENT FOR PARTIES OR ON-SITE EVENTS. We prefer to rent to families but will consider renting to a non-family group if we feel you will take good care of our home. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, the beauty & serenity of being tucked into the edge of the maritime forest right before the forest transitions into beach topography AND a quick 3 to 4 minute walk to arguably the best beach access on Bald Head Island. This is the last non-private beach access before the developed portion of Bald Head Island transitions from a dozen or so homes north of the beach access into miles and miles of undeveloped beach. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS is also near the Shoals Club. A 4 and a 6 seat golf cart to explore the island are included in the rental. I'm Tom and my background is Design-Build and interior design and my "better half" is Lindy and her background is interior design and international furniture sales. We are SuperHosts on the "other site" and Premier Hosts on this site for the 6 bedroom vacation rental we do on our farm near Chapel Hill NC and have enjoyed hosting VRBO guests on our farm so much that we bought this home on Bald Head Island to do our "design and construction magic" and open it up to VRBO families to enjoy. Here is what differentiates our Bald Head home from the typical Bald Head home: 1. A quiet and shaded maritime forest setting where the maritime forest is beginning its transition into beach topography yet only a quick 3 to 4 minute walk to arguably the best beach access on Bald Head 2. The contemporary and comfortable design flair of the interior 3. Large "retreat style" bedrooms that are well-separated (no two bedrooms or bathrooms share a common wall) and give folks a chance to get away from the group and have privacy when they want some autonomy. 4. Two over-sized screen porches as well as an open deck , pergola and patio, all on the sunny south side of the home providing a myriad of options for outdoor living . Best of Both Worlds is located on a quiet street in the edge of the maritime forest yet so close to the ocean the sounds of the breaking waves can lull you to sleep at night. Enter the beach access that is only a quick 3 to 4 minute walk from our home and turn to your left and walk past the handful of remaining houses on the island and then you could literally walk for hours and see nothing but nature and the undisturbed beauty of miles and miles of untouched undeveloped Atlantic ocean front. No homes. No roads. No artificial dunes. Just literally miles and miles of nature and the Atlantic Ocean taking its course and sculpting the topography without man's interference.
