About this property

Washashore - South Beach Oceanfront Home w/Views, Wraparound Deck, Tons of Natural Light, BHI Club

Under new management, this 5 star 3 bedroom, 3 bath beachfront gem sits on Bald Head Island’s beautiful South Beach. Windows, Windows, Windows! You can enjoy panoramic ocean views from the kitchen, dining area and living room. Or sit on the spacious wrap-around deck to enjoy the ocean breezes or watch the sunset. The central location means your vacation home is just minutes by golf cart to the harbor, the Maritime Market, and the BHI Club.


Washashore is fully equipped for your vacation. A large cooler, beach toys and plenty of beach chairs are all available. There is also plenty of of covered/shaded area on the ground floor with a table for relaxing, storage and staging your day at the beach.


You’ll love the open floor plan in this one story home. Washashore has been completely renovated recently with new furniture, HD flat screen TVs, floors, carpeting and paint. The bedroom arrangement is perfect for one or two families. Each bedroom features it's own bathroom.

3rd time and still a charm!!!
This is our 3rd stay at Washashore in the past 5 years. Last year we stayed on BHI in a different rental but missed Washashore and immediately booked for this year. The house is the perfect size for a small group or just the two of us. The windows and views are incredible. The house is very close to the island's center, making it convenient to the grocery and anywhere else you want to take a golf cart ride. Add in the amazing team at iTrip and it makes a perfect getaway!!!

Best ocean view on South Beach
Great location and easy access to the beach - gorgeous views and sunsets. Very clean, with comfortable living and sleeping areas. Gas stovetop, double ovens, and propane gas grill made cooking user friendly and enjoyable. Dishwasher could be updated and 2nd outside trash can should be added. Excellent communication with ITrip staff.

Fall Break
We enjoyed our stay! We rent a home on bald head once or twice a year and just love the feeling of being a world away. The views were beautiful from this home and convenient to two beach access locations. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean. We did have an issue with the plumbing in one of the bathrooms and received prompt communication from itrip in efforts to find a resolution. The living room /dining room/ kitchen are open concept which was wonderful for dining and entertaining friends that were visiting BHI as well. We would recommend this home!

Beachfront getaway
Being a beachfront property some of the roads had flooded the week before during a storm that dumped 20 inches of rain on Southport . Greg, from iTripNC, made sure we got to the house since the trams were not working . It is a bright sunny house and the sunsets were lovely . Bedrooms are spacious . Kitchen well equipped. We wish there had been instructions for working the TV but a relaxing ,comfortable spot .

Charming house, great location!
We come to Bald Head every summer, and this year we decided to extend our stay and got lucky finding this cottage at the last minute. The cottage is super sunny, and central to almost everything on the island including the Market, BHI Club, and close to East Beach! The spacious kitchen was well stocked with all of the essentials, and the house has amazing views of the ocean from most of the rooms. Also the property management company was super-responsive. We had an issue with one of the golf carts and they took care of it proactively and kept us in the loop while it was quickly repaired. We’d stay here again.

We love this house so much! The entire front and sides are covered with big windows, so it’s a view everywhere you look. Great accommodations, very clean, easy access to anything you need on the island. It’s only a 5 minute golf cart ride to shops. Perfect vacation!

Best house!
The house was wonderful! Perfect! My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary so it was just the two of us - there was a lot of extra room so I hope to come back with my family! It was close to the beach access and a great spot to watch the sunset. The house had everything you could want and was clean and well kept. The iTrips folks were extremely responsive and accomodating! I would love to stay there again!

The best view!
We just spent 6 nights at Washashore with two adults, a 7 year old, 3 year old, and 8 month old. The layout of the house is perfect for vacationing with little kids because it’s just one level with the bedrooms branching off the living / kitchen so it’s easy to keep an eye on the kids. The view is the absolutely best! We loved the big windows that made it feel like we were outside even when we were stuck inside on a rainy day. We used both golf carts to get around the island all day and did not feel like the slowed down at all. We kept them on the charger at the house but had no issue with the golf carts losing any speed. We were impressed with how fast the golf carts would go. We rode the two bikes, used the beach chairs / towels, and sand toys. It was nice that the house had these things so we didn’t have to bring them. We enjoyed our evening walks to the cul de sac with the kids and felt like this was the best locations for an ocean view while being really close to jailhouse, midway coffee, the market and more. Just a 10 min golf cart ride to the marina and a little less to the turtle conservatory. Best part - THE SUNSET! We will definitely try to book here the next time we visit BHI.

We loved the wall of windows to the south and east and the decks on those sides as well. Very comfortable lodgings with fully equipped kitchen and wonderful location right on the beach. We saw the full moon rise and the sun set at the same time. Golf carts worked fine. All in all a very comfortable stay.

Stay at Washashore
The house was nicely situated right by the beach with fantastic views of the ocean. The process by which we entered the house was nicely documented. No issues with gaining access to the house. The house was very clean. My only complaint would be that some of the towels were stained a bit. We did have an issue with the golf carts. iTrip was very, very response and had are issue resolved in under 30 minutes. All in all we had a great time.

Excellent location with a fantastic panoramic view of South Beach. The beach is massive and never crowded. Open floor plan all on one level is comfortable and outside shower was a hit. Central location makes for short golf cart trips to the marina, market or East Beach. Cycling on the island is a favorite. Support from iTrip staff was always prompt.

Bald Head Island beach stay
The house needs some appliance work, and new battery chargers for the golf carts. Housekeeping left the dining table dirty (crumbs and stuff on the table), and the coffee pot wasn't clean. There's an electric outlet in one bedroom with no cover.....exposed to little hands.The washing machine ruined 2 clothing items with something looking like grease. I brought that to the manager's attention and they just said they would check it. No offer to clean or repair the ruined items. The washer makes a lot of noise and seemed to have gasket or belt problems (noise when spinning). But, all said, I would return with some adjustments due to the lost garments. Great view, close to the beach.
