Great Getaway

Great place to stay for a small family. Even though it was cold and windy, we loved the close access to the beach and would go every morning. Nicely decorated and had all the amenities you would need for your stay. Would love to come back in summer!

Perfect spot for our family

We took our family for a long weekend and loved this gem! Floras bluff is on of my favorite places on the island and This house was perfect! The reverse floor plan made sitting out on the top deck for coffee or a glass of wine even better with views of the ocean! The house was well stocked & Barbara was very attentive and on point to our needs and checked in to make sure we were enjoying our stay.

Al Mare was perfect for my husband and I and two of our college-aged children. I love the reverse floor plan so we can see the water while we eat, relax, and play games together. The house was one of the best stocked homes I’ve ever rented. They even had dog bowls and a mat. The AC worked like a champ, and I actually turned it up a bit because I was cold. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were great. The place was spotless when we arrived. Flora Bluffs is one of my favorite locations on Bald Head because you sometimes feel like you have the beach to yourselves. My kids love shell hunting as they walk towards the Shoals. Our stay was too short this time, but I will would definitely stay at Al Mare again. A beautiful home. Thank you!

Fabulous beach house

This was a cute beach house, the house had a great location and our multigenerational group loved the layout. It was easy to get to the beach, hose off and enjoy the sunset. The property manager Tyler was super responsive and helpful when we had questions and a (mea culpa) issue. Cannot wait to go back!

Bald Head never disappoints

Cute house perfect for the 4 of us. Great sunset view. So close to the sand, store, club. We rented bikes, ate at new jailhouse restaurant (so close) and it was perfect location to explore the island over and over! Cute decor in living room and great views while cooking or sitting on deck. The property manager Barbara was very attentive and sweet to deal with! Thanks Barabara! All in all great pick for this bald head trip!
