About this property

Park Place: On The Commons Park in Cape Fear Station, Walk to East Beach

Uniquely situated for an active vacation on this exclusive North Carolina barrier island, “Park Place” lies steps from The Commons Park, a 3-minute walk down a private alleyway to fabulous East Beach, and a 5-minute walk from a swim, or dinner, at the elegant Shoals Club.


The house, ideal for a two-family vacation, is decorated in a timeless coastal style with comfortable bedding and furniture. The reverse floor plan features a 2nd floor screened-in porch to take advantage of the sights of the adjacent park, and the sounds of the nearby ocean.


The open 2nd floor also includes a great room, dining room, fully-equipped kitchen, ½ bath and a bunk room (two twin-over-full bunk beds). Downstairs, there is a master bedroom (king) and two additional bedrooms (queen), all with en suite bathrooms and Smart TVs.


A separate crofter features a bedroom (queen), mini-kitchen, pull-out sofa, Smart TV, and full bath, all situated above a cart garage, which houses (2) 6-seat golf carts (Club Car and 2023 Bintelli, both on maintenance contracts, to ensure reliable and care-free transportation around the island), as well as bicycles, beach chairs and beach toys. Between the house and crofter is a patio with a table as well as charcoal and gas grills.


Additional amenities include membership (available for separate purchase) at the Bald Head Island Club (including golf) and Shoals Club, outdoor shower, hammock, high chair, porta crib, front porch rocking chairs, linens, and a local property manager who can take of any concerns or issues promptly.


This property rents Saturday-Saturday during June, July and August.

House is in nice location - and as advertised by way of beds/amenities. But overall property is in need of some reasonable upgrades for price paid for July week. . Furniture is renter grade at best & some furniture needs upgrades/replacement (Ex - LR sofa stained & coffee table very wobbly). Host was very helpful - but very limited paper & toiletries goods - bathroom soap/shampoo disposals not working. Made multiple trips to market just to get bare minimum to make even until day 2 w/ 3-adults & 2-toddlers In general - we had nice time. House well built, but needs some updating & TLC.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Aug 2026
We're sorry our family's vacation home did not meet your expectations, but we feel it's important to provide some context for future guests. The sofa described as "renter grade" is a Pottery Barn sofa. Because it is white, we provide a washable fleece cover to help protect it and make it practical for families with children. We were at the home two weeks before your stay, when all of the sofa cushion covers were washed and the rugs were shampooed. When you texted that additional paper products and soap were needed, I immediately contacted our cleaning and property management company so those items could be addressed. I also spent a great deal of time over several months helping you prepare for your first trip to the island. This included handling your request to reschedule your stay, answering numerous questions about the ferry and the area, and responding promptly to every message and call before and during your visit. We work hard to maintain our home and provide a great experience for our guests. While we respect that every guest has different expectations, we do not believe this review accurately reflects the condition of our home or the overall experience of our guests.

Amazing stay with the family at Park Place!

Just returned from a great week with the family at BHI - Park Place (31st visit to BHI). The ferry to the island was a little challenging due to Covid limitations but once we settled into the house all the stress disappeared. The house was very clean and well appointed (including a coffee grinder). Location was perfect for East beach and Shoals club access. Great week with the family . Looking forward to future visits.

Classic Bald Head House

Just as the title states. Very nice place with the classic bald head feel, nestled in a bunch of palms and natural brush. Front porch is perfect for watching kids play in the green space across the street. Plenty of room and comfortable. 2 6-seat golf carts that are in good condition. Lots of chairs and beach toys for kids and the beach is a 1 minute ride away.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

For years we've been coming to Bald Head with our extended family. We had trouble finding a house that was close to the beach and could comfortably accommodate 2-3 families. After renting on the island for many years we purchased this home and had it furnished and decorated to be exactly what we were looking for.

What makes this property unique

Easy walk to East Beach (best on the island), The Shoals Club and Turtle Conservancy while facing The Commons Park. Screened in porch overlooks the park and is great for morning coffee, cocktails and even watching TV. The 5th bedroom in the crofter over the garage is perfect for grandparents, nanny or those looking for more privacy. Our kitchen is well stocked and the property is meticulously maintained.
