Amazing BHI getaway!

This is our favorite place yet! We were two families with kids 11 years old and younger and it was a perfect setup. Having the bedrooms on the lower floor was such a great layout. The house was beautiful and clean and well-appointed. Some of us are sensitive to dust and such but we were all comfortable since the house was so well taken care of. We would definitely want to stay here again, no hesitation.

Great house!

We had an amazing weekend on Bald Head Island. This home was in a perfect location convenient to the market and the marina. Everyone that stayed in the house had a wonderful time and we all enjoyed the layout. The kitchen was well stocked and there wasn’t anything that we wished it had.

Great vacation spot

We’ve visited BHI for almost 20 years and this was our first stay on this end of the island. It was very close to BHIC and the marina as well. The home is well equipped. The new beach chairs and available towels are so nice when you’re hauling so much stuff to the island. The home is as pictured (note, only a tub in the 3rd bath). Though not exactly “new” as described in the title, it is nice enough, and by our midJuly stay, it was definitely “lived in clean” as many weeks of summer had passed with quick turns allowing only for surface level cleaning. If you’re looking for a culdesac home close to the marina and club that is comfortable and well-suited for family, it’s a great spot.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Harvey

We love our time at Bald Head Island and bought this home to continue making memories here! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! We got married here in 2001 so it is extra special to us. We are beach people but equally love the nature, wildlife and peace that Bald Head has to offer. It is a beautiful escape all-year round.

Why they chose this property

We take pride in keeping our house well-stocked and comfortable, with all the amenities to live here easily. It is light and bright with lots of outdoor spaces and porches to enjoy; and located on a quiet cul-de-sac. The reverse floor plan allows for quiet sleeping downstairs and living & cooking upstairs.
