Spacious Home with Ocean Views from Primary Suite, 4BR, 3BA, SB location

Welcome to "FerryTale Retreat!"

Purchased in June 2020 and remodeled during the fall and winter of 2020, this spacious beach getaway is brand new to the rental market and features the comforts of home with views of the ocean. The house is ideally located close to the beach, clubs and shopping. It is completely refurnished and professionally decorated with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths.

This home is the ideal place for one or two families or a group of friends to enjoy a memorable vacation together. It has gorgeous ocean views from the kitchen, large front deck and upstairs king suite -- perfect for watching the sunset, moonrise and for amazing evening stargazing. The large, vaulted-ceiling living room and recently upgraded nook offer ample seating and entertainment options. Enjoy dinner out on a third private newly renovated back deck.

"FerryTale Retreat" has been professionally decorated in soothing shades of sea blue and grays to help maximize relaxation and bring the beautiful Bald Head Island beach inside.

The house features four bedrooms, three full baths and sleeps up to ten guests. The main bedroom suite has a king bed and flat screen tv, as well as an ensuite bathroom, a sitting area with a sofa and desk and private deck with amazing views.

The second primary bedroom has a queen bed, flat-screen TV, an ensuite bathroom and is tucked away in the quiet back of the house. This room also features deck access.

Another guest room has a queen bed and deck access and the fourth bedroom offers a bunk bed as well as a daybed with trundle. Closets include hangers and there are laundry baskets for your convenience.

Fishing, kayaking, surf lessons, scavenger hunts, and sightseeing charters are available.

Once​ you visit, we think you will love "FerryTale Retreat" as much as we do!

Date of Stay - April 2021
5 stars! We loved the house! It was extremely well organized and decorated. You can tell the owners spent lots of time providing everything you could need. We really liked the beach paintings. We found that the location is perfect, near the beach, the golf course, market, and marina.

N. Edmunds -. 5 STARS

Ferrytale Retreat has all the details covered—and what’s more important than the details? High-end appliances, super-well-appointed kitchen, impeccable décor, a Weber grill, luxurious memory foam mattresses, two great golf carts (but only blocks from a beach access). Great open spaces and comfy bedrooms—just a wonderful place to cool down and mix a margarita after a day in the sun. Highest recommendation here.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. The memory foam bed provides a full night's sleep and the bathroom offers hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

So happy with this property

We spent a great week in baldhead Island at this property. There are windows everywhere that invite so much light into the family room and dining room. I couldn’t believe how well stocked the kitchen was with all the “little things” that you never remember that you need. They also have all of the drawers and cabinets labeled to help find everything you could possibly need in the kitchen They provided plenty of beach towels, the pantry is huge for you to organize your own groceries. The two golf carts worked great, as well as the bicycles. I would not hesitate to rent this property again.

Wonderful House

This was our first time staying on Bald Head Island and we really enjoyed this house. It is so beautifully decorated, and really well equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The beds were really comfortable, and the sitting area was a great space to hang out in. The communication with Edie and Katie was amazing - they were so responsive and very helpful. Having two golf carts and the bikes was such a wonderful to get around the island.

Perfect weekend getaway!

This was my first time staying on the island (we've only done day trips before) and everything about it was perfect. Leading up to the trip, Edie & Katie were very easy to communicate with and sent us all the details we needed - check-in process, ferry/tram information, a map of the island and things to do. The house was very bright, spacious and had all of the essentials needed (kitchen was fully stocked, beach towels, chairs, bikes, etc.) I stayed with my family and our spouses and the house was spacious enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of eachother the whole time. We were walking distance to the beach and a quick golf cart ride to anywhere else on the island. My family and I all fell in love with BHI during our stay and we wish we would have stayed longer. We will definitely be back!

We stayed for the week with our 4 adult kids 20.23, 25 and 27 year old with our oldest’s wife. We had the most incredible time together - and Ferry Tale property made it even more spectacular. Close to the beach access, and nice views from the 3 decks. The property was super clean and freshly painted / maintained and not one detail was left out. The owners / managers obviously take pride in their beautiful property. We will definitely book again!!

First Time to Bald Head- Will be back!

Such a wonderful visit to beautiful Bald Head Island. The house is in the perfect location- right in between the Market and the Bald Head Island Club and across the street from beach access. Can't get much better. We loved that the house was a little tucked away and private. The hosts definitely go the extra mile to make sure their guests feel comfortable- the house has everything you need ranging from all your kitchen needs to every board game ever created. The layout of the house is extremely comfortable and everyone slept great. One thing to note is that the blinds in the bunk bed room don't block any light, so if you have kids with early bedtimes make sure you bring some blackout blinds or it will look like Noon until the sun goes down. Communication with the hosts was the best I've ever experienced. I highly highly recommend this property and we plan on coming back next year!

The perfect beach home!

Our group of six college friends from way-back-when stayed at FerryTale Retreat and absolutely loved it. The outdoor spaces (2 decks/1 balcony) provided perfect gathering spots and the living spaces were very nice and beautifully decorated. The kitchen and laundry room were well stocked. The beach access is a 4 minute walk. Bicycles are in good shape and the rides were fun. We look forward to renting FerryTale again!
