Oceanfront Gem | Wraparound Deck, Private Beach Access, BHI Club + Golf, 3 Suites, Dog Friendly
Summer Wind is the kind of oceanfront home that truly feels like a beach escape—where the sound of the waves is constant and the shoreline is just steps from your door. Perfect for one large family or two smaller groups (and your dogs), this spacious retreat offers an easy, laid-back coastal experience in one of the island’s most sought-after locations. From the oversized deck, you’ll feel completely immersed in the views, with nothing but sand and sea stretching out before you.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully remodeled with an updated kitchen, new appliances, refreshed flooring, upgraded furnishings, and inviting deck spaces designed for relaxing and gathering. The open, vaulted living area creates a bright and airy setting for time together, while four bedrooms—each with their own bathroom—offer comfort and privacy for every guest. Three of the bedrooms feature king beds and beautifully updated en-suite bathrooms with walk-in tiled showers, while the fourth bedroom provides flexible sleeping arrangements with easy access to a full bath.
Set along South Beach, Summer Wind enjoys sweeping, unobstructed views from West Point to Frying Pan Shoals, with some of the island’s most stunning sunsets right outside your door. Its central location makes it easy to explore, with quick access to the Maritime Market, Bald Head Harbor, and East Beach, and just moments from the BHI Club. With its combination of space, style, and an unbeatable oceanfront setting, Summer Wind is designed for unforgettable beach days and relaxed evenings by the water. Fresh linens and towels are included in the cleaning fee, so you can arrive and start enjoying your stay right away—just don’t wait too long, as this home fills quickly!

Our Favorite Rental
We've been coming to Bald Head for the past 15 years and this was our favorite place of all those we've ever stayed in. The layout with four large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms gave us plenty of space and privacy while the large, light-filled great room and kitchen made Summer Wind feel big and comfortable for our group. The location can't be beat! Steps to a nearly private beach and gorgeous views off the deck or from the great room all day. Sunsets were especially beautiful. The iTrip staff were very responsive and easy to work with. We will definitely be staying here again.

Having three kings with bathrooms made our stay easy. Everyone had their own space plus shared kitchen, dining & social area. The porch is great & having 2 golf carts lets everyone do their own thing. We were there for a wedding & it was easy to get to get to the venues. Communication was excellent.

Excellent Getaway!
We loved our stay at Summer Wind! The house is in a great location, well-provisioned, and the 3-suite set up was perfect for our family. The communication from iTrip Vacations was fantastic from the start and throughout our stay. We didn't need to contact them for anything but we were confident they'd solve any issues quickly, if needed.

Overall it was a great location. Great beach access and a very friendly atmosphere. The house is roomy and has a great layout. The beds are not comfortable though, so hopefully that is on the short list of things to update. I’d recommend this property to anyone interested in a good relaxing beach vacation.

Beautiful and spacious home right on the beach was perfect for our holiday weekend vacation. Plenty of room for our kids and family members to spread out, ample living area and plenty of kitchen space to cook in. Walking distance to the beach makes this place a must stay, would definitely stay again. Easy communication with property manager.
