The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, granite backsplash, and wood floors, while bedrooms feature plush carpeting.

At BHI Vacations, we want to ensure you have the best possible experience during your visit. Please note that while some homes may provide bicycles or beach towels, we do not maintain or guarantee their availability.
The Bald Head Island Club and Shoals Club operate independently from BHI Vacations, and guest memberships must be purchased directly through each club. Availability varies by home listing, and during the summer season, memberships may sell out quickly. To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend securing your club membership as early as possible.
Additionally, the Bald Head Island ferry system is independently operated and not affiliated with BHI Vacations. To ensure a smooth arrival and departure, we encourage guests to book ferry and tram reservations well in advance.

Great spot close to BHI club and beach
Great location! Rooms were great. Pack and play fit well in the second bedroom on the main floor. There was a good alligator viewing from the deck! Would definitely recommend staying here.
