About this property

Colonel's Cottage is a charming and spacious Maritime Forest retreat!

(5BR/4.5BA, 2K, 2Q, 2Tw, SL10, 2 Golf Carts, Sunday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 9:30AM / CHECK IN 3:30PM) Colonel's Cottage is a charming and extremely spacious five-bedroom, 4.5-bath home set in Bald Head’s lush Maritime Forest.

Step onto the welcoming wraparound front porch and into this traditional floor-plan home. You are immediately delighted by the gleaming hardwood floors and elegantly-appointed open floor-plan layout. The living room area features comfortable seating with a decorative fireplace and myriads of windows. The adjacent dining area is anchored by a table that comfortably provides room for eight but can accommodate ten. Check out the shell chandelier-it is stunning!

Beyond the dining area is the breakfast bar with seating for four. The adjacent gourmet kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances and plenty of prep space that will accommodate multiple chefs. Just steps away is the screen porch which furnishes another gathering area and an additional dining option. Finally, beyond that is a serene patio with yet another table for alfresco feasts.

The King Owner's suite, located on the main level, is perfect for folks who want privacy but wish to minimize steps. It features a King bed and a spa-like bath with shower, soaking tub and his and hers sinks. The main floor also offers a Queen suite with a full bath.

Upstairs, there are three additional bedrooms. The second King suite features a private full bath. There is also a Queen bedroom and a bedroom with two Twin beds. These share another full bath outfitted with a Jacuzzi tub. In addition, there is an additional sitting space equipped with a flat screen TV. This is one more location perfect for cozy conversations, movie-watching or just unwinding. If you are looking for a great Bald Head Island vacation spot, rank Colonel’s Cottage high on your list!

July 2023 Stay
This was our 11th year on baldhead island. This is definitely one of the top two houses. Everything was very well-maintained, organized, stocked, comfortable beds, lights labeled, etc. etc. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing I would consider is some extra drawers in the twin bedroom, since there’s nowhere to put your clothes. Other than that - perfect.

July 2019 Stay
We have had a wonderful week. Colonel's Cottage is beautiful. Nicest beach property I have ever rented. Extremely clean, well stocked kitchen. Quick access to the beach. Loved watching the birds in the back yard. Wendy Wilmot Properties a delight to work with. I felt well taken care of and the communication was wonderful. Love Bald Head Island, so beautiful. Enjoyed the spa, grocery store well stocked. My family has already decided we want to come back next year and we want to stay in the same house.

A Big Fun House
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a wonderful stay in July. There were 8 of us and had plenty of room to gather for meals and play games or go off to relax on ones own. The beach, pools, market, restaurants were minuets away. The house was well stocked in the kitchen and had convenient beach chairs and other accessories Several of us biked daily. The area was very, very quiet, just lovely. We would say we were all very satisfied with this well kept house and the support of the management company.

Colonels Cottage in June
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was nicer than we expected from the pictures and was a good floor plan for our family. We enjoyed the porches and second living area. We would have liked to have had more towels in the unit and the brakes on one of the golf carts were not good at all. Overall it’s a nice rental in the forest with lovely porches and plenty of bikes for the whole family. The property is in need of a good power washing and some unsafe boards sticking up in the walkway outside, but we are mindful that it’s an island that has recently weathered a storm and repairs may be behind a little.
