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 savor 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 appreciate 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 striking 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 newly modernized bathrooms are equipped with features you'll appreciate. 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 supplied below!

Finding the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 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 search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
