Welcome to BIS BALD!, your Oceanfront Escape on BHI!

[What does “BIS BALD!” mean? “Bis Bald!” is German for “See You Soon!” We've lived in both Austria and Germany, so it made sense to choose a name that means something to us while incorporating part of the island’s identity.]

Welcome to BIS BALD!, a stunning coastal retreat nestled on the picturesque Bald Head Island, NC. This luxurious oceanfront property offers the epitome of island living, combining breathtaking views, modern amenities, and a serene ambiance.

Walk in to an open and airy floor plan on the main level, with seamlessly integrated kitchen, dining area, and living room. This spacious area features expansive windows that frame panoramic vistas of the high dunes and sparkling Atlantic Ocean, filling the home with natural light and ocean breezes. Relax in style in the comfortable seating area, perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying quiet evenings with your loved ones.

The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a large peninsula with bar seating. Whether you're preparing a casual meal or hosting a formal dinner party, this fully stocked haven offers everything you need to create culinary delights.

Step outside onto the expansive deck, where you'll find multiple seating areas, a dining space, and a semi-private walkway leading directly to the pristine South Beach. With perfect views of the awe-inspiring sunsets, there’s no better place to sip a cocktail and enjoy nature at its finest.

With four bedrooms and four en suite full bathrooms, there is plenty of space and privacy for everyone! A large bedroom on the main level offers a convenient respite, complete with a king-sized bed, large bathroom, and access to the screened porch outside. Upstairs, the primary suite is a tranquil retreat, featuring a king-sized bed and stunning ocean views from the balcony. Pamper yourself in the luxurious bathroom, complete with dual sinks and a spacious walk-in shower. Another upstairs bedroom presents two twin-over-double bunk beds and a bright bathroom with skylights. The fourth bedroom – located in the “crofter” with its own separate entrance – offers supreme privacy with a king-sized bed, spa-like bathroom, and dedicated heating and cooling system. All four bedrooms have televisions and plenty of closet space.

BIS BALD also provides a range of amenities for residents to enjoy, including access to BHI’s championship golf course, tennis courts, pools, and restaurants. Explore the island's natural beauty, embark on outdoor adventures, or simply relax and rejuvenate in this idyllic coastal paradise.

Don't miss the opportunity to make this home your own slice of heaven on Bald Head Island, where luxury meets tranquility amidst the beauty of the North Carolina coast! BIS BALD!

Great stay

This was our first time in BH over the Winter break and we loved it. Wonderful to be right on South beach. There were a few details in the house that needed attention, but the owners were very attentive and communication was great. Thanks for a great stay in the off season!

Relaxing week on BHI

Our extended family of 7 adults had a wonderful week on BHI. The house has a terrific location just steps from the beach. The rooms were spacious with great views and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Lauren was very responsive and the check in was a breeze. We definitely look forward to returning to BIS BALD.

Beautiful!

This was our fourth visit to BHI. We will definitely be back and hope to stay at Bis Bald again. The property was clean and as described; in a great location at beach access 30 with plenty of bedrooms and common space to share. The booking and check-in processes were a breeze. The owner was awesome; very helpful and responsive to all of our questions. Thank you for a great stay!

Spectacular Holiday Weekend

My husband and I took my mom away for a beach weekend “do-over” after she had a terrible trip with friends a couple months ago. So we had high expectations for making everything perfect and spoiling my mom! This house was ideal in every way for a quiet weekend on BHI. We woke up every morning and headed straight to the beach for a peaceful walk. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. There were also beach chairs, bikes, and two golf carts. Everything about the house was in great condition and exactly as advertised. Lauren was a dream host - super responsive and gave us great tips about the island. We can’t wait to come back!

An oasis in paradise

The location and the house are quintessential BHI - cozy, inviting and "perfect" in a shabby chic way. The best part of the house IMO is the large open kitchen-dining-living area with couches and chairs that eat you up and create the perfect place to unwind with a book and glass of wine after a day trekking around the island. The porches are fabulous for watching the sunrise, sunset and everything in between. Should you decide to go to the beach, just walk right out the back door and you're maybe 100 feet from the sand dunes. Highly recommend coming here to unwind and return to a peaceful bliss, whether with friends, family or even just solo. It's truly a wonderful beachy oasis. Bis Bald!

We’ll be back!

We had a wonderful vacation on Bald Head Island. The house and beach were perfect! We have been coming to the island for over 30 years and this was one of the best stocked houses. Amy has thought of everything. The kitchen has plenty of glasses, dishes, serving platters etc. Rooms were comfortable. There were a number of high quality beach chairs with lots of beach toys for our kids in the garage. The house is a quick walk over the dune to a beautiful wide part of South beach. Overall a great trip and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend this house!

Bis Bald was truly perfect in every way. The location on South Beach was ideal and the winds were in our favor with every day a total glassy and calm ocean. Lauren (the owner and property manager) was responsive and communicative immediately when needed, which wasn’t often since the place had everything. The house itself was updated, super clean and the decor was wonderful. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
