About this property

Marsh + BHI Creek Views, Dog Friendly Timbercreek Upper Unit w/Pool, Kayaks, BHI Club + Golf

A Golden Retreat is a serene waterfront escape on Bald Head Island, perfect for those who love the outdoors as much as they love to unwind. Tucked into the sought-after Timbercreek community, this dog-friendly upper-level condo overlooks both Bald Head Creek and the Salt Marsh Sanctuary, offering breathtaking views of sunrise and sunset right from your private screened porch. Step outside to the boardwalk and dock just beyond your door, where you can spend your days fishing, crabbing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the peaceful beauty of the marsh and its wildlife. A large community saltwater pool is also just a short walk away.




Inside, the home is designed for comfort and connection, with a spacious and inviting layout ideal for families or groups. The Owner’s Suite features a king bed and private bath, while additional sleeping spaces—including a queen bedroom, twin room, and a fun loft with multiple beds—offer flexibility for up to 8 guests. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals, and thoughtful touches like provided linens, towels, beach gear, and family-friendly extras ensure a seamless stay.




Centrally located, you’re just minutes from the marina, market, beaches, and the Bald Head Island Club (membership access available with optional golf). Two golf carts—a six-seater and a four-seater—make exploring the island effortless, while amenities like kayaks, a gas grill, and gathering spaces invite you to relax and enjoy every moment.




Whether you’re seeking adventure on the water or quiet evenings watching the marsh glow at sunset, A Golden Retreat offers the perfect balance of nature, comfort, and coastal charm.

A Golden Stay

We had a beautiful time at A Golden Retreat this past summer. The slight updates to the typical Timbercreek floor plan gave us the additional space we need in the main living area, and the decor was upgrade to suit any BHI home. I-trip was fantastic taking care of our needs, even when we had an A/C clog, they were sure to get service out there as fast as possible. Looking forward to next year's stay!

We came to A Golden Retreat with 2 families from Wilmington (4 adults, 4 kids - ages 7-11). It was a fabulous place to stay. The kitchen was the most well stocked of any rental that I have ever seen.
