Our home sleeps 8 guests comfortably. Our first floor has 2 bedrooms each with king beds and adjoining full baths. The second floor has one bedroom with 2 queen beds and its own full bathroom. Each bedroom has a flatscreen Samsung smart TV. We have bikes & beach chairs for our guests to enjoy. Linens and towels (including beach towels) are included. We also include a starter set of all essentials (laundry, dish soap, paper towels/ toilet paper). Our kitchen is fully accommodated for those nights you want to eat in. A Weber propane grill is available for our guests use * please note propane is purchased directly by guests on island and not provided by owners. We take pride in having a clean, convenient, beautiful home for our guests to enjoy! If you have never experienced Bald Head Island you are going to love it!

This house was excellent for our family! We had 6 couples and 1 small child. The amenities were as expected and the house was clean. The house is situated in the middle of the island and we really enjoyed having access to the community pool area which was equally nice. Added bonus- the house had good games and puzzles too which we enjoyed. Would stay here again!

Relaxing getaway

From check in to check out, the process was stress-free. The property had everything that we needed during our stay (beach chairs, sand toys, coolers, bug spray, beach towels, etc). The kitchen was well stocked and the home was beautifully decorated. Lots of towels and comfy beds! We had a wonderful, relaxing trip and can’t wait to go back!

Great house on Bald Head!

The house is nice and well kept! It was as advertised and my family would wholeheartedly recommend it! The two large golf carts was a nice bonus and the set of beach equipment was appreciated. Having a pool steps away was also great…

Great location and fun family time.

The house was located close to the maritime market and south beach. The neighborhood pool was great for our Grandson. We did do temporary guest passes to bald head island club but also having that pool within a few steps was great. The house is stocked with puzzles, bikes, games, etc. for fun family time.

Great place to stay on BHI!

This was the perfect place to stay on BHI! The house is beautiful and convenient to the beach/grocery store. The owners were very helpful and responsive. The house was also well stocked with supplies, beach chairs, bikes, beach towels, etc, all of which made our stay there easy and convenient. The neighborhood pool (located right by the house) was wonderful as well. Highly recommend this rental!

Great location!

Right across from the pool-literally perfect location. Close to the market and beach access areas as well as the restaurants. The shampoo/conditioner dispensers were low or empty but other than that it was a great experience! We had young toddlers and a crib sleeper so the pack and play was perfect. Our kids are begging to go back!
