Reel Life tucked into a pretty, wooded bend in prestigious Cape Fear Station!

(3BR/2BA,SL8,1K/1Q/1D/2Tw, 2 Golf Carts, Friday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 10:00/ CHECK IN 5:30) Reel Life is tucked into a pretty, wooded bend in prestigious Cape Fear Station-just minutes to Bald Head's East Beach, the Shoals Club and the Conservancy. This three Bedroom+ sleeping alcove/two bath PET FRIENDLY beach haven oozes curb appeal with its charming white picket fenced yard and welcoming covered wraparound porch where a hanging swing and multiple rockers beckon you to stop and relax to birdsong and cicada serenades.

Inside, step onto warm hardwoods in the well-appointed kitchen of this cozy, open floor plan. You'll appreciate the gleaming granite counters, large prep island with breakfast bar, stainless appliances, and spacious pantry. The nearby dining set is sided by a wall of natural light-sharing windows. Enjoy nibbles here or through the French doors to the house-length screen porch where you can commune with the Island's abundant nature while savoring bites or your first cup of joe. Back inside, the living space is brightened by its two stories of windows. It's a great spot to share family games, movies, conversation and snuggles.

Down the hall you'll find both a corner Queen bedroom and a corner Twin bedroom that share a full hall bath. The laundry is also located there. Upstairs, the bright, airy King Owners suite boasts two closets and a pampering ensuite. There's also a sleeping alcove, with a Double, on this level.

Decorated with tasteful beach details and offering a convenient back alley for access to your garage and your two 4-seater carts, and providing access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends Reel ,Life could make your BHI stays "Reely" fine! An additional $300 nonrefundable pet fee is required if bringing along a dog. This home only has membership to the Shoal's Club, there is no membership to the BHI Club.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON CLUBS: Both clubs are independent fr om WWP or any WWP properties. As such, all arrangements for temporary memberships must be handled by renters directly with the Clubs. Renters are strongly encouraged to make desired reservations with the club immediately upon booking, and also to become familiar with club policies, procedures, and schedules. WWP representatives will not be able to answer most club-related questions.
Remember, with Wendy Wilmot Properties there are no surprise "add-on" expenses. Plus, our homes' rental charges include cleaning fees, damage insurance and our Property Manager Assistance Line, available 24/7...something you'll appreciate if your air conditioning goes out on the weekend or you get a golf cart flat after 5 PM.

We had a relaxing and peaceful Christmas week at the Reel Life. It was a very short walk each morning to the beach and a quick golf cart ride for coffee afterwards. The house is a great set-up to just relax and enjoy the island.

We had a great time at Reel Life! We had never stayed in East Beach before. House is beautiful, with many nice amenities. Easy walk or bike to beach and Shoals Club. Would definitely stay here again!

My family of 4+dog had the best time in Ryan & Ashley’s home. It was perfectly located and well stocked with kitchen supplies, beach gear/towel, and kids games/activities. Ryan and Ashley were wonderful to work with. They were gracious and understanding with me when I made a booking error. Will definitely be back!

Excellent BHI home for a family! The property was spotless upon arrival, the kitchen well stocked and all rooms had extremely comfortable beds and pillows. The location is top notch - we love East Beach! We appreciated the map provided upon arrival - a nice welcoming item since we are traveling in from out of town. The only drawback was the home was not acutally fenced in - it was fenced, but not fenced in for our furry family member. Ultimately, not a huge deal as our dog stayed with us most of the time.

We enjoyed our time at The Nest. Great location on a quiet street! Our kids enjoyed the game closet. We enjoyed the expansive porches. Overall the house was well-stocked, would have been nice to have another set of silverware in the house. The owner was very responsive and when we had a small issue, sent someone over immediately.

This island pace was relaxed and refreshing. The property was nice, but a bit unkept. We had to wash the duvet cover in the master bedroom our first night because it was dirty. We also had to wash the blankets in the living room before using them. The outdoor space was weedy and unkept with lots of spider webs / cobwebs so we didn’t really enjoy the outdoor spaces. The golf carts were nice and clean, but the power was low on both of them and we had to let others on the road pass us constantly because they were easily overtaking us. Lightbulbs in key locations like over the dining room table were out and need replacing.

How lovely to find a pet friendly rental that was sparkling clean. The Decour was fresh and updated, the kitchen was very organized and well stocked, and all in all the house was wonderful. There is a lot of attention to detail. I would highly recommend this rental.

Nice home with nearly everything you could want during a stay. Pros - well stocked kitchen, kids toys, 2 nice golf carts, smart TV's in multiple locations, multiple grills, great porch space & furniture, nice bathrooms, plenty of beach gear, coolest upstairs bedroom loft area. Cons - some areas could benefit from a deep clean such as shower heads and cabinet area around trash can, bikes are in poor condition and some not operable, HVAC unit is directly outside of the downstairs queen bedroom and can be noise at night.

Perfect for our family of 8! We enjoyed everything about the trip /island! It was our first time and we had no idea what to expect, Ryan and Ashley were very helpful! What a beautiful vacation!

We're longtime bald head vacationers and this house was excellent! Very thoughtful -- for example, every time you'd look for a hook, it would be there for your towel. Beds were comfy, yard was great for our dogs. Even though this neighborhood is one of the denser ones on the island, this house was very quiet. Great location for easy trips to the beach! I also lost a golf cart key a few days in, and the owner helped me replace it within 24 hours so we didn't miss a beat of our vacation. Will be back!

Overall House is in a Great Location. Property did not provide any Dishwasher or Laundry Supplies. Icemaker kept freezing up and Oven was temperamental. Cart Storage situation was cumbersome at best. Yard could use some tending and not a real fan of the Roaches in the Master Bedroom & Bath.

Wonderful house in a great location! Very clean, nicely furnished, and accurate listing. Owners were great communicators which helped make our first trip to Bald Head easy. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this house over Spring Break. We rented this house 7 years ago, and it is just as beautiful and clean now as it was then! Communication from the owners was thorough and great. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed, and we especially appreciated the first aid kit when our daughter took a bad spill on her bike! We will definitely rent from you again.

Great location close to beach and amenities. Shoals club was nice if you don't like hauling your beach gear (they will set up chairs and umbrellas for you). If you have smaller kids the house provides a lot of the stuff you need. House is three bedrooms with a bonus loft with a bed.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home on Bald Head Island! The home was well equipped, clean and having our black lab with us made the walks on the beach very enjoyable. I hope to return to this home as it was peaceful, private and well appointed. Communication with the owner was easy, prompt and helpful. We did not utilize the Shoals Club membership but hope to.do so another time. Many thanks for a very relaxing vacation!

We've stayed on BHI going on our 16th year. Each year we rent a different house. The amenities in this house far surpassed any in our 16 years of coming here. The place was exceptionally clean. The house was very nice and in a great location.

We thoroughly enjoyed a quiet week at "The Nest." The listing is highly accurate - the kitchen was well equipped, great outdoor spaces, nice appointed bedrooms and baths. A short distance to the Shoals Club, which is lovely. Janice is a wonderful host - her communication was thorough and brief - a rare but appreciated combination! We hope to return soon!
