The home was just striking. It was clean with great furnishings and supplies. The kitchen was ideal for cooking and eating take out. I was so thankful for the condiments, coffee, plastic wrap and starter supply of household items. The location was a short walk, bicycle ride or golf cart ride to the beach. We appreciated the Shoals Club most days which was close by. The neighborhood was very peaceful and we adored it. This was our first visit th BHI and we will certainly be back. June 2022
We appreciated this home! Not a detail was overlooked. Kitchen was entirely supplied with everything you could possibly need! Beds and pillows were super comfortable and the linens were very nice. We will be back! July 2022.

This was our first time staying at the Royal Tern, second time in BHI. The home was amazing- from the enormous and airy kitchen and main living space, to the bedrooms, down to the littlest beachy details. The outdoor shower, screened in porch with fan and the bespoke bunk beds were also giant pluses. Comfortably slept our family of 4 and our friend’s family of 3. We’re also humongous fans of the location - the home is a few min.’s ride to Shoals, mike’s bites (iykyk) and the Bald Head Island Conservancy. We had a little health scare with my 4 year old son and they were super helpful with recommendations on and off the island Highly recommend! August 2022.

Royal Tern is a great property if considering a short or long term get away . Residence and its layout was ideal for our family and our girls friends. More than enough space to share or escape as desired . Screened in porch was ideal for morning coffee and entertaining at nighttime . All necessities for a weeks stay were on hand kitchen wise . Great property if looking for a property with character and close proximity to east beach . July 2022.

Our two families fell in adore with this beautiful home. It was gorgeously decorated, yet comfortable enough for our kids to make themselves at home. Edie and Katie made sure we had everything we needed to be well-prepared for our first trip to Bald Head Island. We appreciated reading on the porch, playing games around the dining room table, driving the golf carts around the island, and flying the kites at the beach. We can't wait to return! August 2022.

Tips for getting the best Brunswick area rental home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• In the Brunswick area area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer time is high season in the Brunswick area area. Reserve your Brunswick area vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefectrental:

• To start, have your family decide on vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. The Royal Tern. Gorgeous Cape Fear Station Home Near the Ocean has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area attraction you love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Know before you go:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the property manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
