This house is so cute! The living space is great, the kitchen is well stocked, and it has the best outdoor shower we’ve ever had! The house sleeps 10, but the twin room is tiny and is best suited for babies or small children.
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 25 August 2026
Thank you! Yes, the twin room is small & more of a kid-sized room, which we describe in the overview.
Our family had a fantastic experience here! The house and property is well maintained. The house was extremely clean and welcoming at the start of our vacation. It was the perfect size for our extended family. The host was extremely helpful before, during and after our stay. I cannot recommend this house enough!!
My family of 6 adults and 2 children had an amazing time at the Blue Pearl. Perfect location for an easy walk to the beach, great amenities and awesome beach vibe. Cathrine was a great host and responded timely to any questions. I definitely recommend the Blue Pearl for a great Bald Head experience!
Blue Pearl is such a charming home with a rich history. Perfect for families. Beach access can’t be beat but what I liked most of all was that it felt like an actual home. It wasn’t sterile and it didn’t feel like a rental property. I’ve never seen a better appointed kitchen in a vacation home - it has everything you need. Both my mother-in-law and I were thoroughly impressed. Only downside is the laundry room is a little tough to get to. Not a problem for me but if you plan to do a lot of laundry it might be annoying. In my opinion, far from a deal breaker.
The Blue Pearl never disappoints. She is a great original beach cottage to BHI. The house is well stocked with plenty of bikes, beach chairs, toys for big & little kids alike. This was our 3rd time staying here. The location is close to everything, not that anything is super far on the island. We went with our kids & grandbaby & it was a perfect fit with the 4 bedrooms with in suite baths. The house was well stocked with plenty of games & books. Looking forward to another week there next year.
This house was the second house we have stayed at on the island and it was really great. Being right on the beach made a huge difference and found the house to be very comfortable and beachy! We look forward to renting here again!!
7 of us stayed at the house over a long weekend for a wedding and had a great time. Everything was as described, the walk to the beach was 30 seconds, and the we all had a blast. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you for the kind words, Pete. You were a kind and courteous guest - would love to have you stay at Blue Pearl anytime!
This home is designed great for groups and the location cannot be beat. It is our second time renting this lovely home and it won't be our last. It is truly the perfect beach house.
Blue Pearl is an absolutely beautiful home and the perfect house for a large family gathering. We had 9 people total and the layout was perfect for two families to share without disturbing one another. The large living/dining area and back porch provide ample gathering space. Definitely our favorite rental on Bald Head.
Wonderful spot for our Easter trip. 2 adults and 4 teenagers - great set up for our group. Super clean, comfy beds, great location. Wonderful communication from the host. Despite the weather a good time was had by all!

Yay! Thank you for this wonderful review! We would love to host your family for future visits to BHI!
Blue Pearl is the perfect BHI beach house -- spacious, clean, well-appointed, right on the beach, very close to BHI Club and the market, you name it! And the owner is very accessible and so helpful. Our family's only complaint was that we had to leave. We would dearly love to stay there again!!

Thank you! We would love to host your family anytime!
This is a beautiful house and was perfect for our family. Unfortunately our stay was cut short by a tropical storm. The host was an absolute pleasure to work with in less than ideal circumstances. We look forward to returning.
Enjoyed staying at this property during our daughter’s wedding. The large open living/dining area and decks were great for hanging out with my brother’s family who stayed with us. Having bathrooms in 4 bedrooms added convenience and privacy. Convenient location with easy beach access!

Thank you, Amelia! We felt so honored for you to host your daughter's bridal preparation at our home! You were a dream to work with and hope you are still riding the high of that wonderous occasion!
First time to BHI. Great house and great location on South Beach. House has 2 rooms on one end, with 3 rooms on the other end with a 'meeting' area in the middle. Great place for Gathering. Highly Recommend the house.

Thank you Parlett! Your family is so great and we would love for your to stay at BP anytime - hope your son had a fantastic birthday and enjoyed the BHI slide!
This was the honestly the best online rental experience I have ever had. The house was perfect for our party and was accurately depicted in the listing. The owner was incredibly responsive and willing to quickly address the minor issue we experienced. We would love to be able to come back and stay at the blue pearl again!

Thank you, Adam! This review is amazing and we appreciate the feedback - your group was fantastic and we would love to host you you for future visits!
I cant recommend this house enough! Right on the beach and just a short ride from the market and restaurants. Kitchen is fully stocked and the TVs in every bedroom are a great touch. My family had such a nice time enjoying all of our meals on the back deck, especially watching the sunset every night. The golf carts and bikes make everything super convenient as well. We will definitely be back- do not hesitate in booking this house if you see it is available!

Thank you so much, Matt! Hope you had a wonderful birthday - come back anytime!
I loved this house. I loved the history of the home. It was nice to read about the history of the home in the book at the house. I feel like it was located in a very central location on the island. We went to the marina and grocery store frequently, and just explored in general. The host/owner was very helpful and easy to work with. There was also plenty of space between us and other homes. My entire family enjoyed the home and location.
