About this house rental
This beautiful renovated Nantucket inspired cottage in Surfmans Walk is nestled in the maritime forest, just a short East Beach, the most popular beach on BHI. It is also a short walk (and even shorter golf cart ride) to Shoals Club, The Commons Park, Bald Head Island Conservancy and miles of biking, hiking and walking trails. Your hosts, Catherine and Brian, make sure you have everything you need to have a beautiful beach vacation.
The two screened porches and tree-canopied patio with fresh salt air and the sounds of soothing surf in the distance offer a perfect backdrop to read, drink a glass of wine, cook out, have your morning coffee and relax with family. The back screened porch has a beautiful swinging bed and directly accesses a boardwalk complete with ancient oaks, Spanish moss and a community gazebo. Outdoor deck is outfitted with gas grill and comfortable seating. Al fresco dining is available in the screened-in porch and the deck.
This house provides extra privacy as each bedroom has it’s own bathroom and smart TV. There are two bedrooms in the main house. The master bedroom has a king bed. The other bedroom in the main house has 3 twin beds (2 twins and a trundle). There is also a detached tree-house style guest cottage over the garage, which provides extra privacy with a queen-sized bed, smart TV and ensuite full bathroom. The crofter being detached from the house gives the guests added privacy and quiet.
Cottage is well stocked with all the comforts of a relaxing beach vacation—WiFi, 2 golf carts (6-person and 4-person), heated outdoor shower, 6 beach chairs, 4 cruiser bikes, cooler, bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, beach umbrellas, sand toys, boogie boards, surf board, board games, books, puzzles, portable high chair, pack n’ play crib, Keurig and regular coffee makers, blender, crock pot and fully stocked kitchen. Bike helmets are not provided. Bike pump is in the garage.
Weekly rentals are Saturday-Saturday in summer. We will entertain shorter stays outside of the high season. Message me to discuss.
Our house has the option to purchase temporary memberships at Shoals Club (pool/restaurant/beach access/fitness center) AND Bald Head Island Club (golf/tennis/pool/restaurant/croquet/fitness center). Not all homes have access to both clubs. Shoals Club is closest to the house (5 minute walk), oceanfront and offers pools, dining, bars, fitness center and beach access. Bald Head Island club offers golf, tennis, croquet, dining, pools, park and water slide. Both clubs offer beautiful views and excellent food. Photos of the clubs are included in the pictures for our house.
If playing golf on vacation is important to you, then you need to rent a house that provides the option for a golf membership to BHI Club. This house provides this option.
Another benefit of our house is having 2 golf carts—4-person and 6-person. 2 carts enable groups to separate for the many different activities the island has to offer.
Amazing restaurants, a spa, and a fully stocked market are minutes away from this quintessential Bald Head beach cottage.
In short, our goal is for you to have everything you need to enjoy the perfect vacation. We will take good care of you on your stay.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
My family truly enjoyed staying at this charming Bald Head Island cottage. It’s a short walk to East Beach — our favorite spot — and Catherine was a fantastic communicator throughout our stay. A welcome bag and text were such thoughtful touches as well as her farewell text.We also appreciated that the bikes were in the garage and in great condition, which made exploring the island even more fun. The home has two wonderful porches — we loved eating meals on the front porch and relaxing on the back porch in the evenings.The house was spotless, well‑maintained, and the two golf carts made getting around incredibly easy. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone visiting BHI.

This property was wonderful for our family getaway. 5 min from East Beach and located in a lovely neighborhood on the island. We enjoyed the gold carts, the bikes, and the comfortable beds. Catherine our host was extremely accommodating and kind and she has extremely quick response times. This was our second time on the island so we understood the ferry/tram schedule but she was so kind to provide any other information as needed. We were pleased with the holiday activities that were offered over the Thanksgiving weekend. We would gladly stay here again! It’s is becoming our “happy place” too!
