Quick guys trip
We loved this place, stayed on island several times but this is the first time we were in “the woods”. It was awesome, quiet and calming. Highly recommend, and the house was perfect really.

Great stay
We had a lovely week at the property. It was clean, new and beautifully furnished. The realty company staff were amazing and accommodating and were always there to meet all of our needs. I would recommend that placemats are provided for the beautiful word table for warm dishes or if children want to color. We would definitely stay again at this lovely house.

Great House
We've rented many houses at Bald Head over the years and this house was one of the best. Well-appointed with everything needed for a weekly stay, the house is in a great location with easy access to the Marina and the Maritime Market area. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our family of 5 and an extremely nice cart that could get you in trouble with the 18 MPH speed limits if you are not careful. We would definitely stay there again.
