Perfect!

Perfect location, perfect house, and very attentive hosts. Anything we needed or had questions about, was a call/text away and we got a quick response. The house was nestled perfectly by the marsh. 3 carts for 8 people made transporting to and from the house very easy. I have nothing bad to say about the house or the hosts. I hope we can stay here again next year!

Fantastic, secluded retreat

We loved our stay at this property. It was tucked away in a cul-de-sac on the marsh. It was extremely private and peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. If you’re looking to escape from the hustle and bustle, this is a choice location on Bald Head Island. The property was meticulously maintained down to even the plants both inside and outside of the home which is unusual. You can sense the attention to detail of the owners and their care for every little thing. The house is a beautiful and well fabricated open concept modern design that our family, (54, 42, 11, 8, 4) adored. Very safe as well, despite having a rambunctious toddler on the premise.. Easy access to the south beach and Maritime market, etc. If you are somewhat of a reclusive eco-hippy like we are, this is a choice spot on Bald, Head, Island which is already in Moore, private destinations in most mainland offerings.

Perfect retreat

This was our 2nd time staying and it was even better than the first. The house is perfect. The kitchen is great for cooking. New golf carts are a great upgrade. Very relaxing week.

Such a special home, off the beating path

We’ve stayed at this house many times and always enjoy it. It feels like a tree house. We love the privacy, marsh views, and all the wonderful nature sounds. We will certainly be back again.
