May 2022 Reservation ID #HA-NYQWVB The house was just beautiful. It was clean with great furnishings and supplies. The kitchen was perfect 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, bike ride or golf cart ride to the beach. We enjoyed the Shoals Club most days which was close by. The neighborhood was very quiet and we loved it. This was our first visit th BHI and we will certainly be back. June 2022 We loved this house! Not a detail was overlooked. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need! Beds and pillows were super comfortable and the linens were very nice. We will be back! July 2022. Reservation ID #HA-ZJ2C92 This was our first time staying at the Royal Tern, second time in BHI. The house was fantastic- from the large 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 custom bunk beds were also huge pluses. Comfortably slept our family of 4 and our friend’s family of 3. We’re also huge fans of the location - the house is a few minute’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. Reservation ID #HA-0PCJBW 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.

It was beautifully decorated, yet comfortable enough for our children 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 loved 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.

Perfect Beach House!
This home was absolutely perfect in every way! We have never stayed at a home with such attention to every detail! It really felt as though we were staying at a high end hotel! The from the spot-on decor to the perfectly stocked kitchen, we couldn’t have been more impressed or happier to stay here!
The Royal Tern really gave our 2 families the royal treatment!
Even our teenagers declared it their “favorite beach house we have ever stayed in”
Managment team was kind, courteous and thorough.
Would give 6 stars out of 5 if it were possible!
