About this property

Oceanfront /Spectacular Views/"OCEAN BEACH "

'Ocean Beach' resides at 21 Silversides Trail directly across the street from the beach on a cul-de-sac. WHAT A VIEW! We are midway down the South Beach, near the Maritime Market, fire station, boutique shops and almost exactly between The Bald Head Island Club and The Shoals Club.

Our new home got a thorough going-over and is redecorated, repainted, and rebranded in the owners style. Our luxurious new bedding is sure to please everyone. There are two master bedrooms, all four bedrooms have king beds with a twin in the upstairs master. Each bedroom has new 32' flat screen TVs.

Please remember to make reservations with the Bald Head Island Ferry to arrive and depart. Your ferry ticket also provides you with tram service but is not automatically added to tickets. Tram reservations require a distinct booking from the ferry to 21 Silversides Trail. Arrival may not be before 4 PM and Departure must be by 10 AM on the day of Departure.

Guests wishing optional Temporary Guest Memberships at The Bald Head Island Club and or The Shoals Club should contact them immediately upon booking our home. This is done by visiting their respective websites and following instructions for Guest Membership, there is an extra fee for each Club. The host has no responsibility in the Guest Membership quest other than assuring The Club(s) we are hosting a particular guest.

All linens and towels are provided. We have wireless high speed internet service.

The view from the upper deck is just spectacular and allows us to see from the Cape Fear River to Frying Pan Shoals. Dolphins are frequent visitors to 'our' beach and are easily seen from all 3 porches.

In the garage you will find a 4 passenger and a 6 passenger golf cart. You MUST be a licensed driver to operate the golf carts on Bald Head Island. The shaded protected area that is the entry to our home, also serves as a place to escape the sun in one of the hammock. There is a sandy play area under the house for those little ones who have grown tired of our sun drenched beaches and a hot outside shower to get rid of the sand.

The Maritime Market is quite amazing considering they must bring everything to the Island on a barge. The selections are extremely good and the service is excellent.

Tropical Storm Debby Stay

Great location. Really nice house. Hugh was very responsive. Would stay there again. Too bad we were there the week of a tropical storm as the island shut down for a few days and we had a lot of rain/wind. I strongly suggest either avoiding a trip during hurricane season or have insurance if traveling this time of year.

Our stay @ 21 Silversides Trail

I just want to say Thank You to Hugh for facilitating our stay at this beautiful house and property. The location is a very short walk to the beach and very convenient to BHI Club, the Market, and the Shoals Club. The appointments in the kitchen were the best we've experienced, and in every way the home exceeded our expectations!

Wonderful home!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is nicely decorated, comfortable and very well-equipped for cooking and relaxing. The upper deck is the perfect place to view the sunset and the screened porch off the main bedroom is the perfect morning coffee spot. We enjoyed the ocean views and the very close beach access. The owners were very informative and responsive before and during our stay. We will definitely stay at Ocean Beach again.

The property was great! The location was perfect! The house was clean and extremely comfortable. It had great entertaining space, great relaxing space, a spacious property for sure! The property owner was easy to communicate with. The house was perfect for 4 couples. Each had their own en- suite. Beds were comfortable! I would rent this property again and again. !

HEAVEN

This was our 25th year visiting BHI and this property made our anniversary even more enjoyable. The view was amazing along with the sunsets. The house was well stocked with essentials and had every appliance or cooking utensil you could imagine. Plenty of rooms and decks if you wanted to sneak away and read a book or take a little snooze. Was nice to have plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards and a beach umbrella (you do not have to worry about bringing any of that). The host was always available if needed. I had the pleasure of meeting the host as we were leaving - Hugh thank you for letting us enjoy your wonderful house on our special 25th anniversary on BHI - the most wonderful place in NC!!!

Wonderful Beach Retreat

Our family had such a wonderful thanksgiving holiday in your beautiful home. The house is perfectly appointed with wonderful homey touches that made us feel like we were at home. You thought of everything - and we were so appreciative. It meant so much that we could bring our dog, we enjoyed beautiful views with dolphins awaiting us each morning. great beach access, well equipped kitchen, super loacation! Hope that we can stay here again!

Great House!

The house was fantastic. Just as described. In addition to being a great house, Hugh was a great host. Very responsive and one of the few rentals that really has all of the accessories (paper towels, toilet paper, salt, pepper, coffee filters, etc.) that make the place like home.

Picture perfect relaxation

This house has it all — unbelievable beachfront views from multiple decks, super comfy accommodations, and well-stocked everything (there are more towels, chairs, boogyboards and gas grills than you will probably ever need!) The house is in an ideal location near the market but in a quiet cul de sac. Hugh was super responsive to questions and even let us keep our bags at the place and use the porch post checkout for a few hours since we booked a later ferry. Highly recommend and looking to come back next year!

Great host, great location and all the stuff!

Hugh is an incredibly responsive and generous host. This house is the most well-equipped beach house we’ve ever rented - beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys galore plus the most well-equipped kitchen you could ask for. Sunny deck, shaded deck, screened deck or Sandy play area with kids swings and a porch swing, you have every option imaginable for family space or quiet space. Living room and dining room are great for family games, and the second fridge in the garage really helps!

Wonderful house with great ocean and beach views from all living spaces! Clean, comfortable, well equipped kitchen, easy beach access (even a turtle nest was provided out front!). Owners very accessible, responsive and helpful. One golf cart broke after a couple of days and was repaired quickly. Children loved the "playground" under the house.

Family beach getaway

We came to BHI for a large family reunion. This was one of a few properties we stayed in. My sister and I and our families stayed here and we cant say enough about how perfect our stay was. Not only is the home the perfect beachfront home for views of the ocean, porch rocking and reading, and late night movies, but it was also stocked with all the essentials - boogie boards, beach chairs, island carts, beach towels, comfortable beds, a washer and dryer and plenty of space. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to cook and there were two refrigerators for plenty of room for food and cold beverages. Hugh was very responsive and helpful, and the location is idyllic. We only wish we could have stayed longer - but we will be back!

Great house, wonderful views, perfect location!

This was our second time staying at Ocean Beach. The house is perfectly laid out for multiple people while providing space and privacy for all. Each bedroom has a full bath. The sand and swings under the house was the favorite hang out place for my 1 and 3 year olds. Hugh was very responsive to emails throughout the process, including when we were on the island and I had a question. A great experience! We will be back again! Ps: we saw dolphins about 100 yards away from us in the ocean on our last day!

Perfect location, wonderful house

Do not hesitate to book Ocean Beach! It is in the perfect location - just across the dunes from the beach, unobstructed view of the ocean, right down the road from the main shopping area. The house has everything you will need and the furnishings are gorgeous. We spent many relaxing and pleasurable hours on the front decks. We were particularly pleased with the completely outfitted kitchen, including a wide array of spices and condiments. We've stayed in many beach homes that didn't even supply salt and pepper, so not having to transport/buy these necessities was a joy. Owner was immediately responsive and helpful. You will have a great beach vacation at this house! We sure did.

Nice stay

Overall good stay and solid house. Great decks and outdoor areas. Location is fine. Good supplies and toys and chairs and carts. House is a little tired on the inside, lots of little homeowner type fixes. Metal brackets holding together rocking chairs, spray painted areas of rust, microwave has to be pried open, etc. Not a big deal but at the price bracket a little surprising. The upstairs master has a strange opening over the living room which is apparently to be able to see the ocean. But it means that if anyone is trying to sleep up there they will be woken up by any noise downstairs…can’t watch tv as a family or play cards in the living room, etc. I found that to be a fairly big deal. Would strongly recommend at least installing a window there. We enjoyed our stay overall and would recommend the house.

FIVE STARS!!!

WOW! That will be the first word you speak once you enter into this home. These homeowners have just purchased this place and have updated everything! They have done an exceptional job! The decor is stunning and sophisticated, yet cozy. Any kitchen item you might need will be found in a drawer LABELED with it's contents! There is a big laundry room off the kitchen for additional storage with a brand new "front loader" washer & dryer! The beds are very comfortable, the sheeting and blankets are new and the place is just impeccable!! The oceanfront view is magnificent and you'll enjoy many hours on the deck. The only thing better than the view is dealing with the homeowners themselves...they are so pleasant and accommodating. We're going back....

About the host

Hosted by Hugh Powell

Host profile image
Family owned, and family cared for,and we present our home to our guests as if you are family. Only the best will do! We visit quite often and keep our home well cared for, and by our presence, keep an eye out for whats of interest on the Island to tell our guests what might be fun to do and prepare for.

Why they chose this property

We chose Bald Head Island because the Island grabbed us 10 years ago when we first visited. It is relatively close to our home, 'hard to get to' because its an island, and it is in North Carolina the best place to live!

What makes this property unique

This Island is magical! It starts as soon as you unload and begin the journey on our great ferries. The 20 minute ride is just enough to unwind and relax before you hit the Island and start what we call 'Island Time'. You will love the slower pace. Step onto the lower porch or the upper deck and see the Atlantic in all its glory, and you'll want to go get another drink and sit yourself down a spell. Our home is so close to everything and RIGHT ON THE BEACH! We thank the Lord every day for allowing us to be so fortunate and share this wonderful Island. We pinch each other to make sure we are still awake, because it seems like such a dream come true.
Memberships at The Bald Head Island Club and The Shoals Club allows our guests the optional amenity of securing Temporary Guest Memberships during your stay with us. Guest contact the Clubs directly for Guest Membership application via their websites.
