You had us at dog treats!

We loved staying at a Golden Retreat! Great location and everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay! We had fun using the kayaks, and the furnishings were tasteful and comfortable. The kitchen had all we needed for cooking and the golf carts worked well. Perfect place to enjoy all of the natural beauty of the marsh side, and a quick trip to the beach! Thank you for welcoming the dogs!

Perfect Bald Head Escape!

A Golden Retreat is a perfect retreat on Bald Head Island. It is very well appointed, everything you could need in a kitchen. Very clean, bright and airy. The deck views are spectacular and we loved having access to the kayaks to explore the surrounding waterways. We loved that is pet-friendly for our pup to enjoy a get-away with us. The beds are very comfy and plenty of towels and fresh sheets. Above and beyond touches in the bathroom like mini shampoo and conditioners! We'd love to visit a Golden Retreat again. The location is great, short drives to the grocery store, marina and beach. It was easy to reach out to the hosts to have any questions answered quickly.

Relaxing stay at Golden Retreat

My husband and I live in Wilmington but needed a reset from the busy day to day. We stayed at Golden retreat for four nights and got that rest and relaxation we needed. The screened in porch was ideal for all meals, games and reading. We used it during all varieties of weather-hot, rainy, and windy. You cannot beat the view. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking full meals as was the house with comfie pillows, towels and beach gear. We would stay again and have already recommended it to friends.

Great place highly recommend!!

If you are looking for a great place to stay while at BHI we found it! Newly renovated, stocked very well and location is perfect. My family stayed for a long weekend and enjoyed the dock and kayaking in the marsh. Close the market and just a quick golf cart ride to the beach!! Hosts were easy to work with and attentive to so many details. Will definitely be back and would stay here again and again!

Perfect Stay

This is our 3rd year coming to BHI, and we love staying on the marsh side of the island. A Golden Retreat was absolutely perfect for two families vacationing together. The marsh view from the screened porch is magical. The kids really enjoyed the loft. Kitchen is well-stocked. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful marsh property

We came to A Golden Retreat with 2 families from Wilmington (4 adults, 4 kids - ages 7-11). It was a fabulous place to stay. The kitchen was the most well stocked of any rental that I have ever seen. The marsh access was used daily and the central location is fantastic. We would definitely stay here again.
