Amazing spring break at the Hatchlings House!
We had the BEST time at BHI at the Hatchlings House. Sharon and Jim were such amazing hosts, checking in multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. We were particularly impressed with the stocked kitchen, game closet, beach toys, bikes, and vacation supplies. Truly, it has everything you could ever need in a vacation home. We had four kids between our families, and they enjoyed the room downstairs with the bunk beds. I also appreciated all of the extra special touches they accommodated for our dog Yoshi, including the cute doggy towel. Would not hesitate to recommend this house to any new or seasoned BHI traveler!

Girlfriend get away
This house was everything we needed for a high school girlfriend getaway. The kitchen was fully stocked and the house is adorable inside. We loved all the beach decorations. We enjoyed exploring the island and having multiple golf carts. The fall weather was perfect for walks on the beach.

Wonderful Home
The house and hospitality of Sharon did not stop to amaze us for the duration of our stay at this wonderful house. From the welcome bag with goodies and waters, to the comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and supplies, to toys, books and bicycles galore. We could not have asked for a better place to stay and after 10 years coming to the island, this house was hands down our favorite! Sharon, thanks for all you did to make our vacation amazing.

Fall Break Trip
Despite some sketchy weather early on, we had a wonderful visit to BHI. The house was a perfect fit with plenty of room for our family and the Lightbourne's could not have been more accommodating to ensure a great experience. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon and Jim Lightbourne

Host profile image
Jim's parents lived on the island for years. His parents were very involved with the island conservancy. Malcolm was an artist and the house is named after his painting 'The Hatchlings' which hangs at the BHI Conservancy. Our daughter was married on BHI and our son proposed to his fiancee on BHI. Bald Head has been a wonderful summer vacation spot for our extended family for years. We hope to continue this tradition for many years to come. We are so excited to have bought this home in summer 2013.

Why they chose this property

As soon as we saw this house, we knew it was the perfect home for our family, with a great location on the island. The large open living area is a wonderful space for family gatherings. This area is enhanced by the easy access to the large porch. The upper level porch has dining and seating areas. The lower level porch offers shade.

What makes this property unique

Built in 1974, this is one of the 17 'generator' generation homes built on BHI. It has been beautifully updated while keeping it's original charm. The vaulted ceiling in the open living room gives the home a spacious feeling. It is conservatively decorated with fun beach accents.The bright blue, red, and white colors are lovely. The home is located on a cul-de-sac lane, just a short walk to the beach. Evenings on the porch are spectacular.
