The Magic of Bald Head Island
Accessible only by passenger ferry and free of cars, Bald Head Island is a rare coastal treasure. Spend your days on pristine beaches, climb the historic Old Baldy Lighthouse, bike beneath maritime forest canopies, or enjoy waterfront dining overlooking the marina. Once you visit, you’ll want to return again and again.

**There is an external security camera on the premises, however it is turned off while guest are staying.

Also please note that there are wild animals on the island. It is not uncommon to see deer, turtles, frogs, toads, coyotes, snakes, and even alligators. Please be respectful of the wildlife and be sure to keep your trash in the designated locked trash receptacles!

This house was the perfect location between the market and beach yet on a private lot with a cul-de-sac and long driveway perfect for keeping kids and pets corralled. The owners were quick to respond to questions and couldn’t have been nicer.

This was a fantastic stay! House was very clean, golf carts worked great, host was super communicative and helpful! Loved the location, close to the beach and market but also secluded enough that it was very peaceful in the evening. Hoping we can stay here again next time we visit the island!

We chose to rent here for a few days after our wedding. It was the perfect opportunity to rest. The home offered so much privacy, and seclusion. Communication with Kris was excellent and she could not have made our experience any better.
