Relaxing stay

With a wonderful time staying at the Mariners retreat! Location was great. The place was clean and comfortable. The kitchen facilities were very complete. Nearby beach was very convenient plus wildlife overlooks and nature walks nearby. Also two golf carts provided which was a great way to get around the island! Definitely would stay here again.

Great family stay!

Fully equipped and immaculately clean. Great location, teenagers were easily able to ride bikes to the club, lighthouse and the market. Everyone enjoyed the pool which gets maintenance DAILY. Ibis walking around, gorgeous live oak. Was a little worried it would be buggy but didn't get bit at all when enjoying the porch. Royal James is the best kept secret on BHI.

Great stay at the Royal James!

Our family had a great time at the Royal James. The condo had a well stocked kitchen with upgrades to everything. The space of the condo was exactly as listed. We had a hiccup with one of the carts but the owners were very responsive and got us back up and running in no time. The loft can get a bit warm but with a fan running 24/7 it’s not too bad…especially in the evening.

Family Tome

Our stay was one of the best BHI experiences have had so far. First of all we had excellent weather which certainly helps. We love the location, great distance from everything, marina, store, beaches, etc. We like having shade after a day at the beach. The kids loved their loft space and we all enjoyed the back deck. It was nice to have the bikes. We only had to rent 1 adult with child carrier. Morning bike rides and shell searches were an everyday occurrence and nightly visits to see the alligators!!! We will be back. Thank you DDawn and Ben

Great BHI accommodation.

Everything we needed was there and in working order. We enjoyed the location, central to the island, the golf carts were well maintained, plenty of towels provided, quality washer/dryer. The pool was great after a day at the beach (but the property association should consider redoing the wooden deck, it is a splinter hazard) Great place to stay, highly recommended

5 Star Vacation

This vacation home was one for the books! I highly recommend this place and these hosts! Some of the best you can find on BHI. They are very accommodating and do everything to make your stay the best! The house is so beautiful. Something we found so useful was the kicking AC and a working ice maker. Would definitely recommend and also will be staying here again!

Lovely stay

Host was very accommodating! While we only stayed a couple of nights, the home had everything you needed and kitchen was stocked. The bed and bedsheets were very comfortable, which is not common when staying at a rental as most linens are commercial use and you could tell theirs were much higher end. All in, 5 star rating and a great way to experience BHI for the first time, or long timers looking for a nice weekend getaway.

So glad we chose this place to stay

we chose this condo based on ratings and not needing a whole house for my Husband and I ALTHOUGH… this condo would house an entire family just fine! The condo itself is very clean and updated. The Neighborhood is peaceful. We saw lots of deer near the entrance of the neighborhood almost every time we road through! The owners were very accommodating and easily contacted. 10 out of 10 recommend. We would def stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Ben & Dawn Comer

Host profile image
I can honestly say, sharing our mutual love for Bald Head Island, created an instant bonding moment for us! You see, Ben and I met in Raleigh, NC in May of 2016. On our first date, he told me he was currently a full-time resident of Bald Head Island and came to Raleigh on a regular basis for his business. He then explained he had been a property owner on the island since the mid-90's. I, too, explained I had spent time on the Island in the 90's, as a nanny for a family from Chapel Hill. Even in Raleigh, the Island was working her magic! Because two years later, I also became a full-time resident of BHI and have developed the most amazing groups of friendships imaginable! BHI people are so special! We lived on Island until early 2022, when our plans to spend more time in Florida began to take shape. We decided to sell our house and buy this Royal James Condo. Now we can still come to the Island to spend time with our friends and we have the unique opportunity to share the magic of Bald Head Island with others!

Why they chose this property

We love the maritime forrest and love the fact that our home is surrounded by live oaks.

What makes this property unique

Our property is nicely renovated and well maintained. It is an upper unit with a loft with two twin beds and better views than the lower units.

We have well furnished decks/balconies off both main floor bedrooms. The front balcony overlooks the pool and has seating for four.

The rear balcony overlooks the golf course and a pond. It has a table with 4 chairs and an umbrella and two lounge chairs. It is a great place for al fresco dining among the live oaks. You can watch the ibis flying over every evening coming in to roost at the Wildlife Overlook, which is about 1/4 mile away.

We offer two golf carts (Most Royal James condos have 1) allowing your party more flexibility to move about the island.
