We welcome you to love our renovated beach cottage as much as we do! We are tucked away in the Maritime forest with its beautiful live oak trees but only a 2 minute golf cart ride to fabulous South Beach. The large (private for guests only) community pool is only steps away for those who do want to stay close to the house. We have two - 6 passenger golf carts ready for you to explore the island. 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 lots of bikes, beach chairs, beach toys 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 full 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! We are a barrier Island with no bridge which makes it super private and a nature lovers paradise! No cars allowed so you will take a passenger ferry to the island which adds to the excitement! A (guest) temporary membership to the (Lifestyle) BHI Club AND Shoals Club are available to purchase directly with the clubs. Depending on your interests, the clubs offer world class golf, multiple pools, tennis, and several restaurants for you to enjoy. Our commitment is to provide you with a fully equipped home for you to enjoy beautiful Bald Head Island! The island is truly magical and fantastic for families, couples, multigenerational and guys/girls trips! **Saturday-Saturday Check Ins only during peak season with a minimum 7 night stay between Memorial and Labor Day holidays**

The house was in great shape, clean, very comfortable, and had all of the amenities you could want for a stay on BHI. The location was central to everything, and the neighborhood pool was perfect.
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!
Cute house. Plants needed trimming off lower steps. Lower steps need replacing, well furnished except there was no can opener. Nice quiet location almost a recluse. Overall, a good choice to stay.
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.
we loved the house. The pool was a bonus! We loved the house. Perfect size and layout for our little family. Very relaxing. Perfect proximity to town, the market and the beach!
Great property for a family. The home is clean, nicely appointed and well kept. It had everything we needed, plus a couple of nice surprises, like the Shibumi beach umbrella. Both golf carts were in great shape. The community pool is just across the street and very nice. Overall, the location is in the center of the island and pretty close to everything. The property manager is super responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay in Bald Head and looking forward to going back. Great communication by the host. We loved being able to use the bikes and the two golf carts came in handy!
The property is newly renovated and in excellent condition with a nice room layout. The owner was incredibly responsive to our questions. Would highly recommend.
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…
This was our first time on Bald Head Island but hopefully not our last. This house was perfect for our needs. It was clean, well equipped, and beautiful. The two golf carts worked out great and the pool was super convenient. Thank you for a great experience!
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!
Shanna was super accommodating and helpful. I’ve never had a property owner respond so quickly to inquiries. The cottage was updated, well appointed and perfect for our family. We will definitely recommend to others and plan on returning ourselves soon!
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!
Location was outstanding (right across from pool), close to beach, market and shopping. House has great floor plan to allow for family time together and private time also. Well furnished and appointed, beach and pool toys, bikes, kitchen well stocked, beach towels, etc., everything you need was included and 2 golf carts was a plus. The communication from the owner was amazing, very helpful and responsive.
Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time during our stay! The property was super clean, in great condition, very well appointed and in a great central location with a nice pool right outside the front door!
Shanna is amazingly accommodating and responsive. The 2 6 person golf carts were awesome and worked perfectly for our party of 7. I would highly recommend this property and owner! We can’t wait to come back to beautiful BHI!!
This beautiful home was all that we hoped it would be and more. Everything was super clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The 6 person golf cart made it an easy drive to all locations on the island and enabled us to bring along beach chairs, a cooler, etc. Shanna was a great source of information about BHI and very responsive to all my questions. We hope to come back one day!
Really loved this cottage, perfect for our family of 4, with a room to spare. Having the pool was an added bonus and the boys loved it. Centrally located between the market and marina, and a quick ride to South Beach. Loved riding bikes and house was equipped with beach chairs, towels, linens, soaps, everything you may need. Would definitely recommend.
