Stayed here with my wife and kids and had a wonderful time. The pictures (and video) of the home are spot-on - updated throughout, spacious, and easy access to the beach. It's also fairly central on the island so easy to get to shops/market and either of the two clubs. We particularly appreciated the abundant beach gear - Shibumi, bikes, chairs, etc. John was very responsive and helpful, providing detailed property info and local guidance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a convenient, updated and relaxing rental on Bald Head.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home on Bald Head Island! The house was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach with gorgeous views and a peaceful, quiet setting. We especially appreciated how clean and comfortable everything was. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing BHI getaway!

The perfect house for our young family! Easy access to the beach for the littles. We loved the reverse floor plan for the view from the living area and balcony. John was overly kind in offering helpful hints and being so accessible. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts and sharing this beautiful home!

Beautiful, clean home perfect location

Just steps from the beach and perfectly situated half way down on the island… we just LOVED our stay! The owners checked in with us regularly to make sure we had what we needed which was so kind. Incredibly well stocked! Very comfortable rooms with everything my family from ages 3-13 needed. The golf cart was very good and the beach access was just so perfect. Highly recommend and cannot wait to go back!

Highly recommend Blue Moon! The house was well stocked for our Labor Day weekend. The house was immaculate and the view was perfect! Golf cart looked brand new and was the nicest one we have ever had on the island. The host was wonderful and available anytime we had a question and went above and beyond to make our stay relaxing and perfect!

Exceeded our expectations

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Moon. Great location with incredible view of the beach and easy beach access. The property was recently renovated and spotlessly clean. John responded very quickly when I needed to contact him. Highly recommend!

Best beach trip

The property is lovely and has been really cared for. It was the perfect size for our family of 2A + 2K. Really comfortable beds too! The location is wonderful with great swimming on the beach, and lots of beach accessories to keep everyone happy. This was the best beach holiday we have had and will surely return! Thanks for hosting us.

We found the property clean and well maintained. The location is great with private access to South Beach. The balcony is a perfect spot to watch beautiful beach sunsets and for stargazing on clear nights. The porch and swing are another great outdoor space to enjoy the sound of the waves. The owners are great. They are very communicative and responsive. Highly recommend this gem!

Perfect Beach Vacation

Everything about the property and our stay was great. The owner was helpful, a great communicator and made check-in and check-out easy. The walk to the beach is super easy and the beach is sparsely populated even during the peak week of July 4th. The new 6-seat golf cart made transportation quick and efficient. We enjoyed every moment of the vacation in this lovely beach house.

Great Escape

This is the perfect place to unwind and let the world melt away. House is well stocked with everything you might need, has its own private walkway to the beach, and the sunsets are amazing. It was really cool to walk the beach and see the turtle nesting sites (very well marked and protected).

Wonderful setting

We enjoyed the lovely home with a delightful view of the ocean. We clearly saw the Milky Way along with numerous stars. The location on the beach, the beautiful home, the porches, the porch swing, the beach umbrella, beach chairs, bikes, etc… all enriched the wonderful vacation on Bald Head. Thank you to the owners for providing such a beautiful place to rent.

Amazing view!

Like the owner John said in the property ad - if you want to be at the beach, why not stay on the beach! The property suited our needs perfectly and has been tastefully updated. The ocean views are amazing and the ease of getting to the beach cannot be beat. The location is convenient and we loved the availability to use membership at both clubs! We will certainly be back!

Exactly what we were looking for!

Our stay at Blue Moon was truly exceptional! We have stayed at a lot of beach houses over the last few years, but this was by far the best experience we've had. The house was clean, well-kept, and had just the space we needed for our family. We had easy access to the beach, our kids enjoyed driving around in the golf cart, and we loved using the guest membership at the BHI Club to access the pool and playing a round of golf! We will be back next year!

One week pre-season

We came for one week in mid-May. The sun came out every day and was warm enough to get into the ocean. Very few people on the beach this time of year. The house is very clean and odorless. Kitchen appliances are new and high quality. Beds and furnishings are very comfortable. Golf cart is new. This was our best stay so far on BHI.

Once in a Blue Moon

My family (wife, 2 teenage kids and myself) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Moon and this was our first trip to BHI. The house was clean, well appointed and the decor was just the right amount to let you know you are at a beach house without clubbing you over the head with that fact. The house location was nicely situated on the island and everything was within easy reach using the luxury golf cart that came with the rental (but they aren’t joking about that turn radius). Access to the beach was super convenient using the walkway from the house (back porch to the beach is maybe 1-2 minutes depending on how much stuff you lug with you) John was super communicative and easy to work with. All and all our stay was awesome and everyone had a great time on the island.

Great house

It was a beautiful house and I would strongly recommend renting the home (it was oceanfront, clean and attractive). The one issue that we did have with the house is that the electric cart did not work well (especially when our family of four were in the cart -- our kids are 16 and 21 but we are all thin and fit). The electric cart on multiple occasions did not make the 1.4 mile trip from the house to the Maritime Marke and back. Just be aware of that fact (especially if anyone has heart or ambulatory issues). On three occasions we had to push the cart back (some of it uphill and not so fun). Owner said to let it sit for 15 minutes and try again (no service call for the electric cart was offered) - also that is not how electric carts work. Owner seemed to suggest that we did not know how to charge an electric cart or were not charging it between outings (which we were charging the cart). We have rented on BHI for the last 12 years (thus we are familiar with charging many different types of golf carts for many years and have not had that problem) as well as we own a Tesla (an electric cart). Just be aware as if you rent this house (which I would highly recommend as it is a great house) -- plan to walk everywhere or rent an additional electric cart on the island or you will most likely find yourself stranded (if you are unfamiliar with the island, there are no taxis or ubers). It is a great house and worth the expense of an additional electric cart rental. Hope this information helps and keeps you safe!

Response from VrboOwner on 6 July 2023
We are happy you loved the home and apologize for the cart issue. Part of the problem was this occurred the day after Hurricane Isaias when the island was without power and the cart repair places were closed as a result. So we assumed it was due to the lack of electricity even though the cart was attached to the charger. We’ve since had the cart repair people look at it and the batteries were faulty...all four of which have been replaced and it’s running great.

Blue Moon was absolutely perfect for our family vacation on Bald Head Island! The floor plan was ideal, with all of the bedrooms on the first floor and the main living area upstairs, allowing us to fully enjoy the gorgeous views. The balcony quickly became one of our favorite spots to relax with a cup of coffee each morning.The beach in front of the house was peaceful and uncrowded, making it easy to unwind. Our teenage surfers preferred East Beach because of the larger waves, but the spacious golf cart made getting there quick and convenient.One of the biggest compliments came from our teenagers—they couldn’t stop talking about how comfortable the beds were! The master bed was incredibly comfortable as well.The home is beautifully decorated with a simple, elegant coastal style that feels warm and inviting. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed, and we enjoyed making most of our breakfasts and lunches there.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely recommend Blue Moon to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and beautifully appointed vacation home on Bald Head Island!

Adored our stay at Blue Moon!

Loved our experience at Blue Moon! The house is fantastic and has everything we need and more, including super awesome toys and gear (beach cruisers, boogie boards, shubami tent, etc)! Our family of 4 (8 and 9 year olds) were beyond happy and comfy in the house! We loved the vibe, direct access and view of the beach and sunsets on the balcony! Also loved the location which was central to all our favs (South Beach, East Beach, BHI conservancy, market, etc)! John and Linda are gracious hosts and made things so super easy! Would definitely recommend!! 8 thumbs up!
