About this property
How You Dune? Beautiful Retreat with Hot Tub
When you step off the ferry, exhale. And know within minutes you’ll be living the island life. Convenient location to all beaches and marina/ferry, our beautiful family friendly home is the perfect getaway. We have an open floor plan with large kitchen, dining area, and family room with high ceilings and lots of natural light. Off the family room is a screened-in porch that feels like you’re up in your very own treehouse. Just below is a spacious deck with a warm bubbly hot tub. Your dreamy getaway awaits!
Our home has an upstairs master suite with king bed, a downstairs master suite with a queen bed, third bedroom with bunk beds (two twins on top with two queens underneath), and a fourth room with day bed and trundle (and a pocket door to close it off), and a crofter over the garage with another king suite.
We provide three golf carts (two four-seaters and one six-seater) and six beach bikes for your stay (two have child carriers). Guest memberships to Bald Head Island Club and Shoal’s Club are available for separate purchase*.
Our house is in a great location- close to restaurants, shopping, Old Baldy lighthouse, the marina, and beach or surf fishing locations. Everything on the island is a short golf-cart ride away!
Our home includes a warm hot tub, private hot and cold outdoor shower, Apple TV, Sonos Speakers, and high speed WiFi.
We fell in love with Bald Head Island the first time we came and we love sharing its beauty and uniqueness with others. Leave your cars and your worries behind and be our guest on Bald Head Island!

About the host
Hosted by Madi Johnson
Hi! We are Matt and Madi Johnson and we live in Raleigh, NC with our two young kids. The first time we visited Bald Head we fell in love immediately and knew we wanted to spend as much time here as we could- and raise our kids here too. We love the uniqueness of the island and the separation from the "real world" - but you're just off the coast! We hope our home can be a place of rest, relaxation, and reconnection for you and your guests. The island life awaits!
Why they chose this property
We love the location of our home, as it is convenient to everything on the island- especially the marina/ferry, the beach, and the market. Everything is a walk or short golf cart ride away!
What makes this property unique
We love having a house "in the trees" on the island. It's significantly cooler in the summer and the upsidedown floor plan makes it feel like you're staying in a tree house. The upstairs porch is our favorite place to spend time- or in the warm bubbly hot tub. We love it here and we hope you do too!
