Following Seas is a Oceanfront 5BR/5BA retreat for families of all sizes!
(5BR/5BA, 3K, 1Q, 2Tw, SLP 10, 2 golf carts, Saturday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 11:00AM / CHECK IN 5:30PM) Following Seas is THE home for those who want to be close to the water! Just steps to the sand, this five-bedroom, five-bath oceanfront sanctuary is perfect for families and groups of up to ten. Tucked behind privacy-insuring landscaping, this retreat boasts multiple outdoor spaces-including a very deep covered front porch (newly upgraded with beautiful IPE hardwood)-that offer a variety of sunny and shady sitting and dining areas. These refuges are where you'll unwind breathing in the salt air while enjoying a cup of joe or glass of wine and marveling at spectacular Atlantic sunrises and sunsets.
But your ocean views won't end outside! Inside, the open floor plan grants breathtaking ocean tableaus from every sunbathed area. The spacious, light-filled living space also pleases with comfy seating-perfect for relaxing and cozy conversations-a vaulted ceiling, multiple sliding doors to the waterfront deck and a huge masonry fireplace. The cheery sunroom provides an additional sitting spot along with a game table and a flat-screen TV. The dining area flows from the sunroom, living space and kitchen, and houses a handsome set that comfortably accommodates ten. Just beyond are three barstools at the breakfast bar. Savor bites at one of these locations indoors or dine alfresco at the set on the oceanfront porch! The sunlit, family-friendly kitchen features stainless appliances, granite counters, plenty of storage and a separate wet bar. Three bedrooms are also located on this level. The oceanfront King Owners Suite offers a private dressing area, a spa-like en suite, TV, and private access to the large deck. A second King suite also grants fantastic ocean prospects and private porch access as well as its own TV and full en suite. An additional King bedroom proffers gorgeous ocean aspects and porch access, too, and uses the full bath located just across the hall.
Upstairs, the second oceanfront King Owners' Suite is vaulted and pampers with an en suite and its own private balcony. Another bedroom is furnished with two Twins, utilizes the next-door full hall bath and also delights with sparkling azure vistas. The laundry completes this floor. Centrally located-just minutes to restaurants, shops, and the BHI Club and including the use of two golf carts-a four-passenger and a six-passenger, a gas grill, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and beach toys and access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, following your heart to Following Seas will be the best ocean-side beach vacation decision you have ever made!

Pusser's Run is a great house. The location is mid-island and ideal as the marina, club, market are all very close and easy golf cart ride. The interior is well appointed, couches comfy, kitchen stocked, outdoor porch and ocean views yummy. The bedrooms are large, and well spaced. The beach gear is ample and two carts a bonus. Book it!

Pusser's run is a value deal for BHI -- ocean front, well appointed, great central location and sleeps the whole family while not incurring a six-digit weekly rental. The Wendy Wilmot group was incredibly responsive to any request or need we had. Would recommend this house in a heartbeat. The only two items to flag -- no shoals club membership and the walls are rather thin.

We spent Christmas week on Bald Head Island and it's a beautiful place that was throughly enjoyed by this family of 7. We rent vacation homes in different places of the USA several times a year and this was our first visit to the island. We were pleased with the house as a whole. It has a good layout of 5 bedrooms all with their own private bathrooms. Kitchen was adequately equipped although not as much as other houses we have visited. The furnishings were "rental quality" but functional. The golf carts worked well but were not covered and we were there during rain and cold weather. The issues we had with cable/internet were handled the next day by the rental company. The only other issue was the bugs in the house, the rental company was notified right away although nothing was done while we were there. The house location is fabulous, the size and layout of the house is wonderful, and on a whole, our vacation was very relaxing.

Good experience. House was very accommodating for a large group. Location was excellent. Frustrating that the property was not available until after 5:00 p.m. on check in date due to housekeeping not completed with the house cleaning. A house that accommodates that many people it would have been great if there one of the golf carts would have been larger than a 4 seater. The beach chair situation could have been of higher quality and more chairs than provided.

Our stay at Pussers Run was wonderful. The home was very clean upon arrival and had a good array of beach toys, bikes etc. The location is spectacular with a private path to the beach. The Market is minutes away by bike or cart. The Wilmont maintenance staff were awesome and for a few initial issues maintenance people showed up within an hour! The only suggestions we would have are: 1) the temperature in the 3 lower bedrooms was too warm at night...the one bedroom thermostat read about 5-6 degrees higher than the 72 we set. The HVAC might need servicing. 2) The lack of room darkening shades were a concern for some in our party. It would be good to add some room darkening blinds to the bedrooms. 3) The bikes need some maintenance with rusted seat posts making it difficult to adjust and low air pressure in some tires.4) It would be good to replace some of the very worn boogie boards. But again, a wonderful place and great experience and we will be back to rent this unit next year.....

This home was a perfect getaway for our family. The large porch was amazing. Our grandchildren loved playing with balls, making bubbles and watching them float out toward the ocean. It was a great gathering place for adults to visit, watch dolphin swim in the surf, or to just relax with the soothing sound of the ocean. The smaller sitting room off the kitchen was a favorite gathering place to work puzzles, watch tv, or to simply chill.

Another amazing week on Bald Head Island. The weather was perfect and the house provided a wonderful setting for our family to enjoy time together and enough space when we needed time apart. We've been renting homes in the area for the past 10 years and this was our first year at Pussers Run. The pictures accurately represent the interior - I was somewhat worried before check in as they looked too good to be true on the website. Just beautiful. Beds, couches, chairs were comfortable and the views from the enormous deck were stunning any time of the day or night. The staff remedied an issue with the freezer on the spot (the cleaning supervisors went above and beyond - thank you Ladies!!) Until next year, Pussers Run.

House was perfect for our family. I only complaint is the air conditioning is old. Downstairs got warm at night, while upstairs got cold. Since we were asked not to adjust temp it was a pain. All the beach stuff and bikes were an added plus. One golf cart head lights provided poor lighting. House was very clean. Furniture was comfortable. Location could not be better-near food and water.

We enjoyed our week stay. The location is mid-way between the two clubs (we were temporary members of one) and very close to the market. The house is a nice size, very clean, and has all you need to get around and enjoy the beach. It was perfect for 2 families with children. We ran out of propane for the grill and were immediately supplied a replacement by the WWP staff. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a really nice time at Pusser's Run. Our only recommendation would be to update the kitchen amenities such as the flatware, cups, bowls, etc. It was also very difficult to find anything in the kitchen. Things were placed back in the cupboards randomly so their was no organization to it. Maybe every so often someone can check on that. Otherwise a great location and with absolutely beautiful views of the ocean and a short walk to the beach which we loved. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Not only is the house lovely and spacious, but the support provided by Wendy's team is amazing. One of her folks came over during a storm with a flashlight and extra batteries, a plumber responded within an hour to a request for assistance with a slow toilet. This is the kind of service that Wendy provides and it is exceptional. The house itself is as beautiful as it looks in the photographs. The walk down to the beach is terrific and we found that nine people easily were accommodated without even using one of the bedrooms. Incidentally, house is now equipped with beachtowels that we left a half dozen new ones there .
