Beautiful Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was a perfect long weekend get-away for my husband and myself. The check in process was simple. The place was very nice. The golf cart and the rain covers made it really nice for the cool breeze.

Relaxing Getaway

We stayed at "Air" for two nights during the holiday season as a quick relaxing getaway. The location was perfect - close to the ferry and to Jules restaurant. Many eateries were closed for the season, but there were enough places open for our short stay. The island was quiet and the beach was nearly deserted, which was exactly what we hoped. "Air" was clean and comfy - had a small kitchenette with a coffee maker, toaster, fridge to be able to eat a quick bite in the morning before heading out. The space is small but very well-used and laid out. We will definitely be back to Bald Head for a longer stay! Air was a great choice for our needs.
