Spring Break Getaway

Visited the island with our 12yo for a few days over spring break. House is clean and cozy, and everything was all set when we walked in the door. We enjoyed watching movies on the smart tv downstairs in the evenings after dark, and listening to the ocean in the morning. Fun location not too far from East Beach. Golf cart had recently been serviced, which was an added bonus!

Not our first time staying here and won’t be our last. We love everything about it. In fact, we noticed there was a day’s gap in reservations so we extended our stay an extra day. Highly recommended

Great stay!

My wife and her friends booked their annual girls’ trip and decided on bald head island and this rental. They all really enjoyed their stay and my wife got to sleep in the separate suite which she likened to a treehouse. The owner was very responsive and they all enjoyed the beauty of the island. They also really enjoyed the hospitality of everyone on the island as well. Great stay!

Location Location and Nugget Ice Maker!

This is a fabulous location - so close to the beach yet only a quick golf cart ride to the market and shops. Kitchen was nicely appointed, and the Nugget Ice Maker was a nice surprise. Our family loved that! The bunk room would be a tight fit if you're planning to use the trundle bed but everything worked out for our family's stay. Host was very responsive to communications and extremely easy to work with. Thank you for sharing your home!

return to Bald Head

Lovely house and neighborhood for a good price. We prefer the eastern end of the island so that we can swim in the ocean beaches and this house is pretty close. Probably the best stay that we had on Bald Head.

Perfect Getaway

My husband, infant daughter, and our in-laws stayed here for 4 nights recently and it was terrific. This was my 3rd time staying at this property, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the stay each time. The accessibility to the beach and to the grocery are terrific, and we love the amenities the house has to offer - lots of pots and pans for cooking/dining! The lessor is so kind and welcoming throughout the process, and I hope to have another stay here soon.

A perfect Bald Head Island cottage

We spent three weeks at Canterwood Cottage this past summer. Canterwood cottage is Bald Head at it's best, lovely inside and out, stocked with all the right amenities and easily fit our family of 4 and grandparent. This house is in the perfect Cape Fear location right by the park and within strolling distance of east beach and the Shoals Club. Plus, Keith was wonderful to work with in planning our trip. We're already looking forward to our next visit to Canterwood Cottage!

Great location, nice house and it fit 7 of us comfortably

On a quiet street, near the beach and Turtle Central. 4 comfortble bedrooms for 3 adults amd 4 kids. Well cared for. The only drawback is the washer and dryer take a long time, especially the dry clothes.

Very Nice Stay

The location of the house was perfect and the layout served our needs very well. Quick walk to the Shoals Club, Community Park, and East Beach were a plus. Having only one cart took a little planning with our party of nine. I will say that the cart was a six seater and in very good shape. Probably one of the nicer carts of all the rentals we've had on the island.

The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials for cooking. The golf cart is definitely fast which was great for getting to BHI club and the grocery quickly! We would definitely return.
