About this property

Fantastic to wake up in the morning and look out over the Atlantic. Reverse floor plans home with 2 br, both with private baths, on lower lever. Master br has a private porch with a swing to enjoy a lazy afternoon. Second br has bunk beds plus a queen bed too accommodate up to 4 guests. Upper level with kitchen, dining area and living room. Enjoy the great ocean views. Easy walking distance to the ocean. I have memberships in both the Shoals and BHI clubs so a temporary membership is available to purchase for either. There are 2 four seat golf carts for your use. Not a better place to relax on the island

Perfect BHI Location

Charming home we were happy to call home for a long weekend at Bald Head Island. Coastal Chic Decor and a perfect mid-island, close to the beach location. Thank you!

Great week at the beach

Convenient location; short walk to the beach but great views on south beach at BHI. No bad surprises. Very comfortable. Know that there are 3 levels so lots of stairs.

Beautiful Home in Perfect Location

The home was perfect for our small family! We spent long days at the Shoals Club and also enjoyed being able to walk to the beach in the evenings. The Shibumi shade was much appreciated - it worked better than the umbrellas at the club. We saw details of the full moon from the deck with the telescope and loved the expansive view of the ocean from the living room and deck. We’d like to stay again!

Super house

Clean. Nice view. Enjoyed the hammock. Loved all the bikes. Perfect huge sectional couch for lounging with teenagers to watch movies and do puzzles. The golf cart that we were able to use was new but very sluggish. Mattress in master bedroom could stand an upgrade. Not the most comfortable one I’ve ever slept on. Would definitely return.

Wonderful week

Carol's house was perfect for the three of us and there's plenty of space for more. Very nice bedrooms and baths, great ocean views, close to the beach, and a generously sized main room and kitchen, which was super comfortable when family (from all over US) staying in other houses stopped by. Loved the top deck for coffee in the morning and drinks at night. Excellent communication and our travel went well smoothly too -- happy about all!

Anniversary trip

Wonderful experience! House as advertised, views better than pictures. The house sits up on a hill providing sweeping view of the ocean, albeit over and between rooftops. Host was quick to respond to questions and very good to work with. This house is perfect for a small family or couple. Will definitely rent again.

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway for Families!

Our Thanksgiving stay at your Bald Head Island house was absolutely wonderful! The kids especially adored the bunk bed room, which became their own little haven. The ocean view from the house was simply breathtaking, providing a constant source of entertainment and relaxation. The house itself was spotless and perfectly equipped for a comfortable stay. All the amenities were in excellent condition and met all our needs. The only minor suggestion I would offer is that upgrading the cookware would be a great improvement. Overall, we had a truly magical Thanksgiving experience at your home. The kids had so much fun exploring the island, and we all enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the setting. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! Highlights: Perfect for families with kids (especially the bunk bed room!) Spectacular ocean view Clean and well-maintained house Excellent amenities Suggestions: Consider upgrading the cookware We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a perfect family vacation on Bald Head Island. We will definitely be back!

Perfect size, great location

A lot of the places on or near south beach are just too much house for a small family of three or four, but the Sail4Fun is the perfect size (could easily accommodate two adults and 3 children) and is in a fantastic location. The ocean views from both levels are great and the beach access is literally a few steps across the wynd. We had a great stay. The “older” golf cart with the higher tires has some good pep, too, which is a nice bonus.

Fantastic home in a beautiful location

We have been coming to the island for 20 years now, and this is one of the few houses we’ve stayed at that we would have no hesitations about returning to. The house was clean, outfitted well, and the layout was perfect for a small family. The furniture and decor were proportioned well and took advantage of the space. This never happens, but somehow, the view was actually better and more beautiful than the photos suggest. The owner was extremely communicative and responded immediately. Thanks for everything!

Couples trip

We have been coming to BHI for over 35 years. We sold our house and have been staying at different properties on the island. This house was one of our favorites! It was decorated great and the kitchen was stocked. 2 carts was helpful to have and we really enjoyed the view. House is great for couples or even 2-3 couples. We hope to stay here again!

Perfect

We had such a wonderful stay on BHI. This property is the perfect spot as it is centrally located plus only a short walk to the beautiful beach. Views are gorgeous and everything in the house is as advertised. When we needed to communicate with the owner the response was swift and all was taken care of immediately. Highly recommend!

Great Week on Bald Head

This was our first trip to BHI. We had a great experience and 8 Killegray Ridge was the perfect place to stay. The house was clean and well appointed. Views from the top deck were fabulous. The kitchen has been updated and was well stocked. Master bath is beautiful. We were not fans of the hard beds but we managed. The proximity to the beach and the market was very good. We would stay here again.

Perfect beach house for family of 4

We love Bald Head Island, and the Sail4Fun house checks all the boxes: ocean view from the living area (reverse floor plan with open living area on upper floor), short walk across the road to beach access, enough space for our family of 4 without paying for a huge house we don’t need. This may be one of only a few smaller houses so near to the ocean. I felt comfortable letting my 12 and 9 yr old kids walk to the beach themselves and gaining some independence. We love that the house comes with 2 golf carts and 4 adult bikes. Kitchen is well -stocked and we cooked most meals at the house.

Not good enough

Good location and overall nice design. However, the bed was very uncomfortable, the pillows were cheap and lumpy, and the floor left our feet or socks dirty after ten minutes. The door lock required an arm wrestle to open every time. We were subjected to a claim against our insurance coverage for damages to the golf cart we didn’t even drive. We won’t be back!

Cozy, great location, and reasonably priced

We enjoyed this small house up on killegray Ridge, with lovely views from upper porch , lovely kitchen dining and living area, and such a short walk down to the beach. Would be a great house for a couple with four kids who can share the second bedroom.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Hipps

Hi There,

I’m a dentist in Raleigh, N.C. , just retired, and am lucky enough to of just acquired this lovely home. I enjoy traveling as much as possible and sailing. Have owned properties on the island for over 30 years and Bald Head is my favorite place. My languages are English, French, Italian and very very bad Spanish if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Why they chose this property

From the moment you hop on the ferry in Southport the stress just seems to drop. One of my favorite things about coming to the island is just riding the ferry up top with the breeze and sun. You can paddle board, canoe, charter a sail trip at the harbor, bike ride or just hang out at the beach. The house has an upper deck with great views of the ocean which is perfect with a glass of wine. I have memberships in both the Shoals and Bald Head clubs if you wish to make use of them. I’m sure you’ll have a fabulous time
