About the host

Hosted by Hooper Patterson

I was five years old when my parents built our first home on Bald Head Island. That was well over 40 years ago. As a Wilmington native, we didn't have far to go to get to our vacation paradise, but we felt a million miles away. Our adventures, much like those today, included scavenger hunts, turtle walks, shelling, golf cart drives at dusk to spot wildlife and it felt a little like the Robinson Crusoe novel.

We had electricity, but did not have phones (we used CB radios). There was no grocery store and so we would bring coolers and bins (much like today) and eat whatever my dad and brothers caught that day.

We didn't really have a large Nature Conservancy back then, and if I recall, there was one lady (who we affectionately called "The Turtle Lady") who ran the program. When nests would begin to sink, she would knock on our door and rally the troops. We would head out in the middle of the night in our pjs with our red flashlights to help guide the babies to the sea.

In my teenage years, my grandparents built a house on Silversides. My grandmother and I would spend our days walking from South beach to East and back collecting all of the shells we could find. Sand dollars littered the beaches so much back then that you had to watch your step. It was (and still is) heaven on Earth.

As we grew older, went away to colleges, moved away for work and eventually married and had children, we always gravitate back. I can't explain it, but I doubt I have to, because once you have experienced this Island, you never want to leave. When our children' were small, we owned a Villa and rented it to many happy guests.

My hope is that we can offer a slice of our paradise to you. Thank you for considering our home for your family, friends and vacation. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions, suggestions or a request to book "Chic Shellter". We are honored to host you.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

For the last 20 years, I have grown my Interior Design business to include projects that span the country. My very favorite place to work is Bald Head. I am grateful to be the exclusive designer for Whitney Blair Custom Homes, a Southern Living builder that I have always admired. Our beautifully appointed home will have the Hooper Patterson Interior Design "stamp" and a colorful mix of bespoke interiors.
