A credit card number is needed to book reservations. The rental charge for the Property, as set forth in the Reservation Confirmation, includes a premium paid for a security deposit waiver insurance policy (“SDW”) issued through Red Sky Insurance as of April 1, 2017. Subject to the provisions of the policy and the maximum benefit of $5,000.00 per rental beginning April 1, 2017, the SDW will reimburse Intracoastal Realty for the repair or replacement of property that is inadvertently damaged during Tenant’s stay and is accepted by Intracoastal Realty in lieu of a security deposit. Tenant acknowledges receipt of the Description of Coverage for the SDW, and Tenant has read and understands the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions thereof. Tenant is relying solely on the contents of said Description of Coverage with respect to the benefits and operation of said SDW, and not on the description contained herein or on any statements made by Intracoastal Realty, its representatives or employees. Tenant understands and agrees that any damage to the Property, its furniture, furnishings, appliances, vehicles, or equipment, or any missing property, must be reported to Intracoastal Realty immediately, but in no event later than seventy-two (72) hours after Tenant check-out. Failure to timely report damage or missing property will result in denial of coverage under the SDW, and the Tenant shall be personally liable for the full cost of repair or replacement. If unreported damage or missing property is discovered at or immediately after Tenant’s departure from the Property, or if a claim for damage or missing property under the SDW is denied for any reason, or if the cost of repair or replacement of damaged or missing property exceeds the maximum benefit under said SDW, then in any of those cases, Tenant will be issued an invoice for the difference. Intracoastal Realty reserves the right to charge the renter's credit card for any damages found, as permitted under N.C. Statute. For information about the SDW policy and coverage click here.
In order to protect your vacation investment, please consider purchasing travel insurance through our insurance provider RedSky. Note that if you have booked your reservation with an online booking site other than www.baldheadisland or https://www.intracoastalrentals.com/ and purchased insurance through the online provider (such as VRBO) the policy you purchased may not provide hurricane coverage. If you have any questions concerning coverage provided by RedSky Insurance, please call the insurance carrier at 1-866-889-7409. We are not licensed insurance agents and cannot answer any question pertaining to the insurance. View RedSky Insurance Coverage here. View Sun Trip Preserver Purchase rules for a synopsis of a purchasing timeline here. Please note, travel insurance premiums are not refundable as they provide coverage from the time of purchase through your stay.
If you should have to cancel your reservation please notify us in writing immediately. If your reservation must be canceled for any reason, all money paid will be forfeited unless the home or condo is re-rented for the entire canceled period and for the original rental amount. If re-rented for the original rental amount, all money paid will be refunded less the cancellation fee of $125 and travel insurance premium. If re-rented at a lower rental amount, your refund will be decreased by the difference between the original rental amount and the lower rental amount, as well as the $125 cancellation fee and any travel insurance premium. Requesting a transfer to another unit or changing weeks is considered the same as a cancellation. A change of rental dates for the same property during the current calendar year is considered a cancellation. PLEASE consider Red Sky Travel Insurance to avoid some of the risks associated with the necessity of a cancellation. Guest will be refunded for any fees which are received through Intracoastal Realty Corporation for goods, services, activity packages or rental items that have not already been paid out to third parties. Travel Insurance is non-refundable. Tenant acknowledges that INTRACOASTAL REALTY CORPORATION offered Tenant the opportunity to purchase trip cancellation and interruption insurance through the “Trip Preserver” program of Red Sky Travel Insurance and that this insurance coverage was available for Tenant to review, consider and purchase for a period of twenty-one (21) days after Tenant’s reservation was made. Such insurance coverage (or a similar policy) shall be Tenant’s sole recourse for cancellation of a reservation more than twenty-four (24) hours after reservation date if insurance was not elected, or within forty-five (45) days in advance of arrival if insurance was elected. In order to protect your vacation investment, please consider purchasing the travel insurance (information is provided with your deposit request). If you have any questions concerning coverage provided for the travel insurance, please call the insurance carrier at 1-866-889-7409. We are not licensed insurance agents and cannot answer any question pertaining to the insurance. If, at the time Tenant is to take occupancy of the Property, INTRACOASTAL REALTY CORPORATION cannot provide the Property in a fit and habitable condition or substitute a reasonably comparable property in such condition, INTRACOASTAL REALTY CORPORATION shall refund to Tenant all advance payments made by Tenant to INTRACOASTAL REALTY CORPORATION or Owner under this Agreement for the purpose of renting a vacation rental property from Owner. Except as otherwise required by law, such refund will not include monies Tenant has paid to INTRACOASTAL REALTY CORPORATION for disbursement to third parties for Tenant’s benefit, unless (i) the monies have not yet been disbursed or (ii) the third party has refunded the disbursement to INTRACOASTAL REALTY CORPORATION.

Your account balance will include a 6.75% N.C. sales tax (4.75% state/2% Brunswick County tax) and a 6% Village of Bald Head Island accommodations tax. Any changes in current tax rates will be applied on the effective date and charged prior to arrival.
The location of Tenant’s check-in will be contained in Tenant’s Reservation Confirmation. Tenant will receive an accommodations packet and keys to the Property at check-in. The person whose credit card is on file must check-in for the party and complete all necessary paperwork unless other arrangements are made in advance of arrival. Guests pre-registered by the Tenant may check-in ahead of the primary guest; however, they will be required to provide a credit card authorization and complete all necessary paperwork prior to receiving keys to the Property.
Check-in and check-out times vary according to each accommodation (3:30 p.m./9:30 a.m.; 4:30 p.m./10:30 a.m.; 5:30 p.m./11:30 a.m., check-out day depending). Tram reservation times will be indicated on the guest's Rental Confirmation letters. Arrival and departure tram reservations will be made by one of our Rental Agents unless otherwise stipulated in reservations letters, for times that closely match assigned check-in and check-out times, based on ferry and tram availability. The check-in and check-out times listed on the Rental Confirmation letters indicates arrival and departure times to and from your rental property. Plan to arrive at Deep Point Ferry Terminal at least 30 minutes prior to scheduled check-in time to allow time for the purchase of ferry tickets from the ferry ticket window, parking and any security processing. Guests who do not allow adequate time for the unloading, ferry ticketing and parking process may miss the ferry, or luggage may be transported on a ferry departing at an alternate time. Ferries will depart on time.
Upon arriving at Deep Point Marina, drive directly to the ferry terminal, place baggage on the luggage racks, and proceed to an available parking lot. When entering a parking lot, a parking ticket will be issued. You will pay for parking upon exiting the lot at the end of your stay. Visit the Bald Head Island Transportation, Inc.'s website for information on parking, ferry passage and cargo fees. Cargo fees are charges for items such as bikes and surfboards. Ferry to Bald Head Island
When departing the island, make sure all luggage is placed roadside at least 45 minutes prior to the scheduled ferry departure time. We regret we cannot accommodate early arrival and late departure requests. Failure to check-in as scheduled may result in a delay of arrival to your accommodations. Failure to check-out from accommodations on time will result in an additional full-day rental fee. No refunds, rental adjustments, or other allowances will be made for late arrival at or early departure from Tenant’s accommodations due to tram scheduling or disruption of the ferry schedule.
Ferry service to the island is located at Deep Point Ferry Terminal, 1301 Ferry Road, SE, Southport, N.C. Details of the schedules are available by calling 1-910-457-5003 and at http://www.baldheadisland.com/island/ferry. Guests must call to make any necessary changes to tram reservations to the island and from the island. Guests should have their tram reservation confirmation number available when changing tram reservations.
Bald Head Island's baggage handling system is similar to that of an airline, so guests should pack as if they were flying to their destination and exercise restraint in what they choose to bring. Please note that a crib and high chair are provided in each accommodation upon request, and other items such as beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards and bicycles may be rented on the island. When guests arrive at the mainland ferry terminal, they should place their baggage on the baggage racks, and notify an outfitter. Name tags are required on all luggage and boxes and are available at the ferry terminal. Please limit luggage to no more than three checked pieces and two carry-on pieces per person. Loose items such as open-top bags or boxes, grocery bags, Styrofoam coolers, jackets, shoes, tennis racquets, surfboards, or fragile items such as video cameras must be hand-carried. Such items may be subject to security screening. Large, bulky items such as bicycles will require a Special Cargo Ticket that can be purchased for an additional fee at the lower level ticket window at Deep Point Ferry Terminal. These special cargo items will not be transported in trams due to size, sharp edges, and/or grease. Cargo space on the ferries is constrained; therefore, it is possible that during peak periods cargo items will not be transported on the same ferry as passengers. Every effort will be made to transport special cargo within six hours of the guest's ferry time. Special cargo may be claimed at the island ferry terminal and transported by the owner using a golf cart provided with the accommodations. Expensive bicycles are discouraged on the ferry system as they can become damaged in transit. Please note: Bald Head Island Limited and Bald Head Island Transportation, Inc. accept no liability for bicycles damaged in transit.
