Great Family Getaway

Conveniently located near the BHI Club. With all 4 bedrooms on the first floor and living room on the second floor there was privacy for those that wanted to go to bed early. Great screen porch on the upper floor as well with expansive views. All the chairs and umbrellas needed for beach. Made for memorable family vacation.

Perfect for families

This was perfect for two families with little kids. We loved the upstairs living space with views of the ocean in every direction. Two masters and two golf carts made it comfortable for the adults, and we spent hours on the screened in porch listening to the waves. We would definitely return.

Fantastic house - Fantastic host - Everything was great!

Last minute trip to BHI and we were shocked that a place this awesome was available in season. Susan is a wonderful host - very responsive and seemed genuinely concerned with how we were doing throughout our stay. The third floor (second living space floor) is exactly what you want in a beach house - very open, gorgeous views every way you look, and an absolute picture frame of a shot of the sunset. Highly recommend, we'll definitely be back!

Wonderful Family Get-away

We just returned today from a memory-filled week at Second Wynd. The home was lovely, with the screened in porch being our favorite hang out area in the house - always a lovely breeze and great view of the ocean...we could hear the waves lapping in the distance. We had 7 adults and our two little granddaughters...the house was more than big enough for us to gather in any area. Great location - right next to BHI club, not far from the harbor area, the Market or the Shoals club. The East Beach is one of the nicest beaches we've ever been to. We fell in love with Bald Head Island and everyone in the family wants to make it our new annual family vacation.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 March 2020
Kathy, It was so nice to hear that you had a great time at Second Wind! It gives us much pleasure to know that our guests had a wonderful family vacation - since that is what Bald Head is all about. I agree that East Beach is the best - particularly for waves. We hope that you will indeed return again! Thanks, again, for the positive feedback. Best, Susan, Elaine and Gail (owners)

Spectacular ocean views, well-appointed and comfortable!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this well-appointed, very comfortable and ideally located beach home. If you plan on spending time at the BHI Club, you'll only be a 3 minute golf cart ride away - so convenient (including if storm clouds roll in suddenly!) The views from the top floor of the home, where the kitchen and living area are, are wonderful. You can see the ocean and the screened-in porch is a perfect vantage spot to enjoy the breezes and watch cargo ships motor up the Cape Fear River. The bedrooms downstairs are all nicely sized. Full-sized washer and dryer are hugely helpful. The owners provide all the outdoor gear you could ask for - over a dozen beach chairs, bikes (in good working order), boogie boards, crabbing nets... the list goes on! When we experienced a minor maintenance issue upon check-in, the owner had a repairman to the house the very next morning. Terrific communication and commitment to ensuring the stay is a very pleasant one! Highly recommend this home and owner!

We are so glad that you enjoyed the house and its best feature - the screened in porch. Now that summer is finally upon us, there is no better place to be than under the ceiling fan on the porch. Instant stress relief, which I could use right now - from my office in Raleigh. Have a great rest of the summer!

Great House in a great little location !!

Just finished up a fantastic week and loved the house. The lay out is perfect and the house is well kept and clean. We spent mornings and evenings on the screened porch that has fantastic views and a cool breeze. It’s in a great location as it’s right across the street from West beach and extremely close to BHI. It’s also a very quite and private area. Susan (the owner) is super responsive and very pleasant to deal with.

Awesome getaway for our family!

Thanks for a great few days at BHI! The house exceeded our expectations and allowed us to spend quality time together and make many new memories. Even with a couple of rainy and windy hours we enjoyed watching the storm roll through and played board games, etc. We appreciated how well appointed the house was, but most of all the screened porch and awesome views in all directions of the island. We’ve always loved BHI, and will certainly be back soon!

We were there a week ago, when it was cold, and bundled up and sat outside late into the night enjoying the new bluetooth sound on the outdoor speakers. Hope you will join us, again, soon.... Have a great summer! Susan
