This home is a beautiful choice for your vacation on Bald Head Island- offers a light, open floor plan, living room/dining room for 10, a wraparound screen porch and a fully stocked kitchen with all you will need for the gourmet cook and family meals, 3 spacious bedrooms with One King, One Queen and 2 Bunk Beds with 4 Double Beds and 1 Double Trundle and 2.5 bathrooms. Our home boasts gleaming hardwood floors throughout and beautiful comfortable furniture. Located in the center of the island, the cottage is perfectly situated within minutes from the beach. After a day at the beach, it is a pleasure to return home to the comfort of the live oaks and the peace and serenity of the maritime forest.
To get around the island, you will have two 4 seat golf carts. If you would prefer to ride around the island on bike, there are four adult bikes for your use. Need other or different sizes - you can reserve/rent from Riverside Adventure at the Marina. Although we guarantee the use of the golf carts, we cannot guarantee the condition of the bikes during your stay. We will make every attempt to repair but it may not be possible during your visit.
We have a professional property manager who lives full time on the island to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
Bald Head Island is only accessible by boat or by a ferry, which departs frequently out of Southport, NC. Southport is 40 minutes from the Wilmington, NC (ILM) airport. A tram ride to the villa is included with your ferry ticket. Reservations are required. Visitors and residents travel around the island by golf cart, bike or by foot.
Climb to the top of “Old Baldy,” which is the oldest lighthouse on the East coast. It was built in 1817 and originally commissioned by Thomas Jefferson. Hike and wind your way around live oaks hundreds of years old and through the nature paths that Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers used in the ancient Maritime Forest. An upscale grocery market, spa, and shopping area is a short golf cart ride away. Discover the Bald Head Island Conservancy at the end of South Beach, where you can learn about the island’s wildlife. Sign up for classes, including the popular evening “turtle walks” to search for and observe nesting Loggerhead Turtles and if your timing is right even watch their hatchlings heading to the ocean for the first time!
