NOW AVAILABLE LABOR DAY, OCEAN views, 2 KING masters. 2 clubs- separate purchase

Catch a second wind at our breezy, beautiful cottage with OCEAN VIEWS from sun-catching windows on three sides of our house. Truly panoramic views inside and out - and a short walk to the beach. Whether you’re sneaking a nap on the comfy seating, playing board games at the dining table with the kids, or sharing cocktails with your friends around the granite kitchen bar, our second floor’s open and reverse floor plan offers plenty of places to relax, unwind, and connect with your people. From the screened-in and sun porches just outside, you can hear the pounding surf on Bald Head's South Beach and watch ocean-going ships pass in and out of the Cape Fear River as you bathe in the sun… or enjoy your morning coffee in the fan-cooled shade after a walk, bike, or run around the island. Our wired Bluetooth speaker system ensures that you can play your favorite beach music indoors and out. And our ample library of books—from beach reads to best sellers—rises behind the big screen television

However you choose to unwind, you'll do so while nestled in the privacy of our oversized estate lot, surrounded by Bald Head’s unique subtropical greenery. Keep an eye out for deer grazing in the palms and ferns covering our lot and keep an eye out for ospreys swooping overhead. During the high summer, you can watch the sunset from our westward-facing sun porch while relaxing in our rocking chairs and enjoying a tasty beverage.

The second floor has an oversized kitchen with granite countertops, a big screen TV/DVD, lots of books to catch up on your summer reading, and ocean views on 3 sides, a glimpse of Old Baldy, plus a slim view of the golf course out the back kitchen window. The greenery on our lot will remind you, each day of your vacation, that Bald Head Island is not just another beach - it offers the best of the ocean, the maritime forests, and the Cape Fear River. Our rare, oversized lot, on a quiet cul de sac, affords you privacy and seclusion from noise and neighbors, and the chance to gaze at abundant birds crisscrossing overhead and deer poking through the lush vegetation on our estate lot.

The dining room table seats eight to ten; the outside dining table seats four, plus there is kitchen bar seating for 4. The screened porch with a paddle fan and upholstered chairs will allow you to spend long hours enjoying the indoor/outdoor sound system while enjoying coffee, a meal or drinks, while watching passing ships. Ships come close to shore at the end of our street before proceeding up the Cape Fear River, so bring your binoculars to catch the details on the ship decks as they pass by!

The two, large master bedrooms, each with a bathroom, king-sized bed with pillow-top mattress, built-in closets, and remote control 43” smart TV in armoire, make this home perfect for TWO FAMILIES. The master bedrooms open out to a full length shade porch facing the ocean, perfect for reading, napping, playing cards or games (two folding card tables are stored in one master closet), or reading. Assorted puzzles and board games are stored upstairs in the family room. The other two bedrooms, each with two twin beds, are spacious and bright, and share a full bath.
