Please note that "Sea La Vie" is a duplex with "La Dolce Vita". They do not share any common areas or entrances, and are each completely private. They share a common wall that divides the two homes. If you need more space, please inquire about booking both homes together!
“Sea La Vie” is the perfect seaside getaway with stunning oceanfront views and restricted public access to the pristine beach. Completely remodeled with new furnishings, new beds and top-quality mattresses in every room, this comfortable and inviting home is nestled in the highly desirable Flora's Bluff neighborhood, with a private boardwalk that is just 100 steps to the gorgeous sand on Bald Head Island’s timeless South Beach.
As you walk into the home, you will be greeted by the open great room surrounded by new windows with sunlight streaming in. The fully stocked gourmet kitchen boasts granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances to allow the chef in your family to cook up memorable meals served on the breakfast bar. The dining area seats 10 and is perfect for special meals and entertaining. All this and more leads to the private front porch to take in the sun and serenity of this peaceful, ideal island location.
The second floor features a sun-filled luxurious master bedroom with new king mattress and a brand new, private bathroom. The open, second-floor porch off the master bedroom offers expansive oceanfront views and there’s ample room for reading, relaxing, cocktail hours or just gazing at the rolling surf from all new porch furniture. This just may become your secret retreat for early morning coffee and lazy sunset toasts to the day enjoyed. The second bedroom on this level features a queen bed for your comfort and another completely new private bath. Every bedroom in the home has new mattresses, box springs, pillows, bed linens and frames. The house features TWO new full baths and TWO new half baths.
Head up one more level to discover a wonderful retreat with a full bed, two single beds and a loft bed, as well as a new half bath. This unique level has amazing ocean views too, and this large room is quite inviting and peaceful.
Families, friend, and travelers can relax here in comfort, style and safety. There is a private, fenced patio area for grilling, dining and for providing a play area for children—and a nearby outdoor shower. There is a brand new six-seat golf cart for your use in exploring this beautiful island and you can tour the island in real style. There are also two new (2023) adult bikes - we try hard to keep them in great condition but although we guarantee the availability and condition of the golf cart, we cannot guarantee the condition of the bikes.
The owners will see that all your needs are accommodated and that your time spent in this home will be memorable. Our fulltime, on island home manager will go the extra mile to help guests feel special and welcome. We know you will agree with our one request that outdoor shoes stay outdoor so that the gleaming floors will remain that way for all our guests.
Spend a week or more at “Sea La Vie” and we are quite sure we will see you again and again as you make this your home away from home. Welcome to Bald Head Island.

The property was in excellent condition. We had everything we needed for our wonderful quiet beach get away. The transfer to and from Southport was super efficient and easy as well. 5 star experience. We will return!
We had a great week at Sea La Vie. House is steps away from boardwalk beach access. Kitchen is well stocked, enjoyed using the bicycles, beach toys, and golf cart on the island. BHI is a special place for our family and we loved the Sea La Vie layout and amenities.
I absolutely loved this property. I have stayed at multiple properties on BHI and this location is one of my favorites. 1 minute from the door to the beach, extremely clean house and very well stocked in all the ways--from the kitchen, to the sand toys/chairs, even toilet paper and detergent. The two bedrooms on the second floor are quite spacious and the third floor was PERFECT for kids with 4 different beds (including a cute loft). I would absolutely recommend it and hope to stay again.
Great home with beautiful ocean view off top deck. Home very clean, beautifully furnished, great communication with Tyler property manager. Loved staying here and can't wait to go back! Great property.
Perfect for our needs. Close to other siblings rentals and birthday party site. Plenty of room for together time as well as privacy. Property neat and clean with nice amenities
Fun and relaxing stay. House was clean and furnishing were comfortable. Would stay again.

You were such a pleasure to host Nicole, and we hope the rest of your summer is treating you well! A lot of care has been put in to the renovations of the home based on feedback from prior guests, so we are thrilled that it resulted in such a great week for you and yours. We would love to host you again on a future stay!
We couldn't have been happier with the home. Bald Head Island is a gem and being able to stay on the water just added to a great experience all around.

Thanks again for being such great guests LaDonna! BHI is a special place, and the location of Sea La Vie really does help you tap in to that unique experience. We would love to host you again on a future trip!
Thank you for an amazing trip! This is by far the best place we have ever visited. We are already planning our return trip to Sea La Vie. And a big shout out to Tyler for such great communication and kindness. This helped make our first trip to Bald Head Island worry free and relaxing!
Beautifully decorated and well stocked kitchen. Only issue is no 3rd shower or bath so guests on 3rd floor have to come down. It wasn’t bad but just had to plan accordingly. Could use some throw blankets and extras for the bedrooms. Property manager was very responsive. Bikes would have been nice at this price point; something to consider. We enjoyed our stay.

Jenny - We are so glad you had a great visit to the island and our home!
We wish you would have reached out about the the extra blankets and throws as there are some in the antique chest in the guest bedroom, and more throws in the living room hutch. We will add this to our welcome guide though to make sure future guests are aware.
Unfortunately building code doesn't allow for a 3rd shower in the home. We are building an enclosed outdoor shower this fall to give our guests an extra one and the great bald head island outdoor shower experience.
In the past we have opted to price the home competitively to allow for guests to rent bikes if they chose. This ensures they have them in great condition, the right sizes, and ease of access during their stay. We definitely appreciate your feedback on this though and will be looking to add some bikes to the home asap.
We would love to host you again and thank you again for being such great guests!
The house has been remodeled and is in perfect condition. Plenty of space for 2 families (you could do the 2 main bedrooms for 2 couples, and put upto 4 kids in the upstairs bedroom). Easy walk to the beach. New golf cart. Plenty of chairs and toys for the kids provided. Views of the ocean from the master and upstairs kids room, views of the dunes from all around the lower floor. It''s a great spot. Barbara is as good a vrbo host as you'll ever deal with. If you have a problem, she will make it right.

Best oceanfront rental for the price on the market / IMMACULATE
We have been coming to Bald Head for many years. This rental was one of our favorites and we will certainly be returning. The house and furnishings are great and the beds were very comfortable. We booked initially with some apprehension based on past reviews. We did not find any of the issues past renters discussed. The house was clean, the property manager was great to work with and the golf cart was in great condition and appeared to be new. The bathrooms have just been redone and are great. We saw no plumbing issues, water stains or mildew. The house shows exactly as the pictures now represent. Love the bright colors and found the home to be well equipped. Would highly recommend this property and guarantee we will be returning in the fall.

We are so happy you had a 5-star experience at Sea La Vie. The owners have done a tremendous job updating all aspects of their home and continue to maintain it in pristine condition. It is one of the best homes in a fabulous location on the island. Looking forward to your visit again.
We loved this home at Flora's Bluff. It is right on South Beach which makes access to the ocean very convenient. Barbara, (the property manager) was very responsive to all our questions. The 6 person golf cart was in great shape (brand new I think) and reliably carted our family around the island. The house was immaculately clean and very up to date. The kitchen had everything we needed. The Master bedroom has a wonderful porch looking out over the ocean. The second double bedroom has its own bathroom as well. And, the third floor loft is surprisingly roomy with many beds to sleep on. our family of 4 adults and 4 kids were accommodated us perfectly. !/2 bath on the main floor and in the loft and two full baths on the second floor. Outdoor shower with hot and cold water was great for washing off the beach. Will definitely go back.

Property has issues!
We were so excited to stay at this property for our first trip to Bald Head Island. Unfortunately the pictures and description of the house didn't match from when we booked. The third floor was completely different. This is really upsetting when you have young kids who are expecting cool floating beds and such. There was also a non working locked bathroom. We found the third floor cleaning to be terrible as well. Piles of food and water bottles and masks were shoved under the beds. The cleaning company came back to clean the next day, but refused to help us until one kind lady agreed to sweep under the beds.
On the main floor there is a large mildew stain on the ceiling that seemed to grow as we stayed there and we quickly realized this was from the leaking master bath shower. Our kitchen refigerator leaked onto the floor as well.
Finally- the golf cart that comes with the house is terrible. The owners need to provide a safe, reliable golf cart. Our tire blew on day 1, we had to hold onto the (taped together!!) roof, and the brakes were faulty as well.
We had a bright spot from our experience and that is the property manager, Barabra. She is fantastic and I would happily rent a house that she manages again. She helped us with every concern and complaint. She made us feel heard and valued and tried to make the best of a rough start to our trip. Finally, she help us get some money refunded to us due to the issue with the home. Thank you to Barbara for her care and compassion.

Thank you for your feedback. The hard-working and responsible owners are committed to providing outstanding accommodations and have spent an enormous amount of money ($280K) rebuilding this home after hurricane damage. They knew there were a few remaining projects to be completed. and unfortunately didn't happen prior to your visit. The built in bunks on the walls did not pass island building approval so the beds provided seemed a much safer option.
Here is an update to the repair work to this home.
The unforeseen and complicated leak in the third-floor powder room is being repaired right now ($9K). Both second-floor full bathrooms are being completely remodeled ($18K) and will be beautiful. The owners are coming down to personally oversee all remodeling activities and will ensure everything is first rate.
A sharp, new, six-seater golf cart has been ordered ($15K) and is ready for delivery on 9/15. The high-quality, clean refrigerator has been repaired. The very small water stain on the ceiling has been cleaned and painted.
The house cleaning company does outstanding work and a review of customer expectations has occurred. There is all new professional photography of the home on VRBO which fully reflects all the updates, decorating and new furnishings the owners have provided.
Hopefully the very generous refund you were immediately provided was helpful. for any inconvenience during your stay.
We have many guests from this year already making plans to return next year and some even planning to extend their stay to two weeks. This a beautiful, comfortable, clean and well-appointed home that many families have thoroughly enjoyed, and we look forward to many new and returning guests having great vacations at Sea La Vie.
Barbara will continue to remain full time on island to help make everyone's visit a great one.
This was a fabulous rental for me, my husband, our twin 5 year olds, and my in-laws. We traveled through a blizzard to get to the island and although we were delayed by a day, our communication with Barbara was so helpful and pleasant. Even while booking flights/ trams I had multiple conversations with Barbara and she was so helpful to make sure I had the timing right to arrive and depart the island. The location is to die for: looking out over the ocean and a beautiful boardwalk to the beach (South beach). Multiple mornings we saw a pod of dolphins frolicking and feeding right from the boardwalk! Even pelicans swooping and feeding alongside them. Such a cool experience for my girls who had never seen the ocean before to see dolphins. The house itself was very well appointed with beach towels, beach chairs and sand toys, 2 warm and private outdoor showers, an awesome 6 seater golf cart, and all the kitchen items you could want. There was even a serving tray and basket that we used to have a beach picnic one day. So fun! We decided to use the Bald Head Island Market delivery service to have our food shopped for and delivered for our arrival and I couldn't recommend this more. They purchased all the items including beverages and not only did they deliver them to the house for our arrival, but they stocked them in the fridge and displayed them on the counter which was a welcoming sight walking in after our travel delay. A little spendy but worth it for a big vacation to be able to focus on spending time with each other instead of shopping. The sleeping rooms were perfect including the 3rd floor "kids room" with a fun loft and multiple beds. The upstairs primary bedroom has a balcony overlooking the ocean and was a fun location for sunset happy hours. We got a guest membership at the BHI Club and took full advantage of the restaurants, pools, and golf. My husband had a blast on the course with resident alligators sunning themselves at almost every hole. The club had a splashpad that was undergoing repairs on our first day and took a few days to fully heat up so we spent most of our swimming in the ocean right outside our front door. Overall you will absolutely love the location, the house itself, and the island as a whole. If you're on the fence, just book it, its worth it! We made some really fun memories here and know that you will too.

Our third stay at Sea La Vie was wonderful! The house is immaculate, perfect for a smaller family. Big TVs with streaming capabilities, upgraded linens and comfortable beds, and a really cold AC! The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with tools, and the appliances are premium. I’ve researched a ton and I think the location and beach access for this home is one of the best available on the island. Tyler takes excellent care of us each time we stay. I can’t recommend this particular house enough! It’s our home away from home.

We have stayed in Sea La Vie two summers in a row for extended trips and it is truly the picture perfect BHI house. Walking distance to the beach on a private beach access. The house have every luxury you could ask for. But the best part of the experience is the service Tyler provides. Anything you think of that you need, this group is very helpful. I can't wait to keep coming to BHI and continue renting from Tyler and Barbara.
