About the host
Hosted by Mackenzie Williford
Hi! We are the Williford-Kuhne family. We have been visiting Bald Head for over 10 years and recently bought The Surf Shack so we can share the magic of Bald Head with others.
Why they chose this property
The Surf Shack is perfect for when you just need a small space for you and your family or couple friends. We will provide you with a custom guidebook that tells you everything you need to know about the island including how to get here, activities for kids, best photo spots, how to get your temporary club membership, where to eat, and more!
We can also help arrange private transfers for you from either ILM or MYR to make your stay that much easier.
