Quick couples getaway

We took boat down and were able to get a slip very close to Earth. Great location for us. Secured a Shoals Club guest membership. Cart that came with Earth isn’t a looker but gets you to market and other end of island quickly! Accommodated an early check in which was awesome. Perfect spot for two for a few nights!

Katie is amazing

I had planned a fun weekend away here at this house for my wife and I's first anniversary. Unfortunately, life got in the way and Katie and Eddie were unable to give me this specific house for the weekend. Katie calls me and figures out two brilliant solutions to the problem immediately. No questions asked, simply told me the problem and her solution. My wife and I had an amazing time and weekend on Bald head simply because of Katie's hard work and dedication to making sure no matter what we enjoyed our vacation. No matter which property you stay at, just know that they will look out for you no matter what happens. I cannot recommend them enough. I had an amazing time and it was an incredibly special weekend. Bald Head is truly unique and staying there was such a pleasure. I only live right across the river and it still was something of a dream. Thank you Katie and Eddie for your wonderful communication and accommodations. I really appreciate it and I cant wait to stay with you all again!

Great Compact Cottage on the Water!

We love Bald Head and only had time for a quick visit. Earth bungalow is ideal for two who want beautiful harbor sunset views, a tiny kitchen (no stove), and easy access from the ferry to shops and restaurants. Coffee close by too. We appreciated the use of the golf cart and chairs and had an easy time working with the super responsive management. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We celebrate my husband’s 65th birthday with a couple of days in Earth. Really liked having the golf cart to move around the island. Room was comfortable and convenient. I am not the greatest fan of vrbo and had a few issues at times but overcame them eventually. Thank you for sharing your place.

Love to Earth

Perfect lil getaway spot with the fastest golf cart on the island 😉 This studio is clean, comfy and meets all your needs. Lovely easy walks to anything you need including the ferry to and from the island. My favorite part of my stay was sitting on the bench outside at night listening to the boats talking to each other. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed for two nights at Earth, and it was perfect for us! The cottage is quaint and right on the marina. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the deck overlooking the boats each morning. It was lovely, and we will definitely go back!

Celebrating a Wedding

This place was an awesome place to spend a weekend at! Extremely clean and warm and welcoming. The location is so cool because you wake up overlooking the harbor! There are plenty of places so close to eat and relax. Homeowners are quick to respond and make sure we were taken care of. Will definitely stay at again in the future.
