We have been coming to Bald Head Island for 32 years and never stayed on the marsh side of the island until we rented Marsh Mellow. The views from the marsh side patio were fabulous and will probably have us returning to Marsh Mellow next year if not in the fall. It has two carts and the bedrooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable.

The pictures could never do justice of the view from the house. It is beautiful with expansive views of marsh /river including view of Old Baldy. You can tell the owners stay regularly because the kitchen is well setup for meal prep. The rooms are as described. The outdoor space is large and a great space to hang out.We enjoyed staying near Marina since usually we stay on South Beach. It had a different feel including nice to walk to coffee shop in the morning. The island is small so easy to get around and short golf cart ride to any of the beach options including my preferred east beach is easy.The owners were easy to communicate with and quick with a response. I couldn’t figure out were the keys were at check-in but they were quick to respond.It was a great overall experience.

Great process, host very responsive. Had a golf cart issue and host responded promptly. House is in great location, loved the stay. The only thing preventing five stars was the interior and kitchen supplies a little outdated.

Marsh Nellow

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is beyond compare. Views of the creek and lighthouse are magnificent and the view of the stars at night extraordinary. We love the convenience of the harbor as well. Will consider renting again!!

Unprecedented stay!

Okay, guys, we’ve been on an off the island since the late 1980’s and have rented from just about every rental company. Hands down, our stay at Marsh Mellow was in our top ten stays! I’m just waiting for next year to open up so we can go ahead and book.

The best

Best rental we’ve stayed in at Bald Head. Location is perfect, views are insane, bedrooms are spacious. We had a few things not working properly but they were minimal and property manager was responsive. Our two year old loved looking out at the light house at all hours of the day! Will most certainly return!

Perfect Week!

We had two families with us. House is perfect location, near the marina. Enough space to spread out. Fully stocked kitchen. Absolute selling point is the back deck. Shaded every afternoon/evening. Perfect place to eat and unwind after a long day in the sun. Would love to stay there again! Everything went smoothly…

Amazing getaway!

The Marsh Mellow was the perfect getaway at Bald Head Island! The listing photos were very accurate, although nothing can describe or illustrate the beauty of the marsh setting. The view of Bald Head lighthouse has to be the best on the island! We were first time visitors to Bald Head and unfamiliar with beach access points and the hosts do a phenomenal job laying out the best access points on the island, and not to worry, all just a fun golf cart ride down the island. It is amazing to spend the day on the beach and then return to the serenity and beauty of the home nestled in the harbour. Absolutely magnificent and we are already planning a return trip (and hope it is to Marsh Mellow!).

One of the best BHI stays!

Marsh Mellow was fantastic, now one of our favorites at BHI! It has great indoor and outdoor gathering spaces and a gorgeous marsh view. Well equipped kitchen if you want to cook and grill. Enough space for a full house to gather around the table. Furnishings were very cozy. My favorite spot was the back deck, the kids liked the hammock on the side porch. The neighborhood also has a community dock close by where we were able to launch our SUPs and kayak, and dabble with fishing and crabbing. The house has plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, boogie & skim boards and an outdoor, hot/cold enclosed shower.

Unbeatable BHI Location!

We never want to leave Marsh Mellow! The water views from every window are amazing! It is so convenient to be close to the marina for shops, restaurants, lending library, and the ferry. Having two golf carts was perfect for a larger family. There are plenty of beach toys, bikes, chairs, scooters, fluffy beach towels, games, a glorious outdoor shower, on and on. There is nothing you want for but the very best thing of all is sitting on the huge patio relaxing on the couches, sharing a meal or early coffee, and grilling looking at Old Baldy, the changing light and mood of the creek and marsh grasses. There's not a view on Bald Head I enjoy more after ten years of traveling to the island. I worked in just about every room in the house - office, dining room, screened-in porch, on the deck, and on the upstairs deck, too. It made work so much better to be looking at the water. The crofter is also a super bonus of this beautiful home. Perfect for another couple or grandparents to come for a quick visit or the teens to argue over. It has the dreamiest perch. My favorite place to stay on the island and we felt extremely lucky to spend our beach week there this summer. It was a dream!!

Marsh Mellow Exceeds Expectation!!!!!!

Our stay at Marsh Mellow could not have been more perfect! We had the privilege of being the first renters for this property. Loved the location on point of marsh - VIEWS WERE SPECTACULAR!!!! House had everything we needed & more! Golf carts were more than adequate - we preferred the Blue cart! We traveled to Shoals Club numerous times per day & never had issues of cart running out of battery charge! Did I mention the grill was brand new with extra tank of propane in garage! We grilled multiple nights & enjoyed fabulous dinners on patio overlooking marsh. Guess we picked the right week - no bugs! On several occasions multiple deer walked right past the deck on their marsh journey. Nice beach chairs in garage & more than enough quality beach towels available in laundry room! The property was everything as advertised & more! Would give 10 stars if option! Our favorite - the private upstairs deck off master bedroom over looking marsh! Deck had sunshine from early morning till 6pm every day! Only 2 minute walk to Yacht Club Deck at Marina to see the most brilliant sunsets! Recommend cart ride to East Beach after dark to see the brightest stars ever! We're building our own hose at Bald Head in next year but will only book Marsh Mellow for future visits until ours' is complete. Christina communicated by email & text before arrival. Darren (property mgr) checked in numerous times to make sure all was good. This was the most awesome week! Thank you again for sharing this special property!

Everything was excellent with the exception of the towels provided.They need to get a whole new set.No plushness at all and some were stained.Also could stand to upgrade the toilet paper.It was almost unusable.These are two minor issues and easy to fix.The view was great and we would stay again.The outdoor furniture was wonderful,as we spent most of our time outside.Overall our stay was a 4.5.

Fantastic property in an excellent location. Quiet cul-de-sac on the creek convenient to the ferry. Property owners provide a "property book" pre-check-in which is one of the most comprehensive that I've ever seen. Really helpful.
