I have been coming to Bald Head Island for over 40 years and have never stayed in the Harbor Area. Loved the location and this beautiful home. It was fully stocked with beach towels, kitchen utensils and plenty of cooking supplies! The view is amazing and the bikes were great!!
The location was ideal and the crofter provided excellent additional sleeping/bathroom space. Multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy, with massive lower patio/grill. Golf carts both worked very well and are newer and in good condition. Bikes were in garage and overall the house was amazing
This home is absolutely beautiful and in a great location close to lots of fun! Beautiful marsh views! Kitchen was very well equipped for cooking. Beds are super comfortable. Can’t wait to stay here again —very highly recommend!!!!
This was our first time at BHI and we absolutely loved it. The home was clean, decorated beautifully and had so much great space for 3 small families. Would definitely book this home again!
We have been coming to BHI for 9 years and this by far was our Favorite House. Beautifully decorated and we love staying in the Village. Will definitely be back.

Always nice when someone enjoys our home as much as we do! Glad you had a great visit to BHI!
Amazing house in an ideal location. Extremely well-appointed with everything we needed (kitchen spices, allen wrench, flashlight, towels, you name it!). We had a magical vacation and would love to come back sometime, to Bald Head Island and this specific house! Excellent communication from host.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Harbor Village home on BHI. The home was lovely and the home owner was exceptional. We had a fantastic time, again, on beautiful Bald Head Island.

Beautiful and spacious home by harbor
The home was perfect for two families (4 adults & 4 kids). We loved the location close to the harbor and the Inn where the Grandparents stayed. The home was nicely decorated and equipped. We would definitely try to rent it again on a future visit.

It is so great to hear that you found our home to be as comfortable and as special as we think it is! BHI is truly a magical place, glad you and your family had a wonderful time.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home near the marina. The view of the marsh was absolutely stunning. Cindy was prompt and responsive in all her communication. The home had plenty of space for two families, making it a perfect getaway. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
We loved our time here. The home was clean, had a great layout, beautiful view, and well stocked. Porches are fantastic and location is convenient. This was one of our favorites! Exceeded our expectations. Hope to be able to go back!
We’ve been going to BHI for 25+ years and have stayed all over the island. Really enjoyed this house in the nice quiet harbor neighborhood and Cindy was great to work with.
The check-in process was seamless. The house is easily accessible from the ferry (you can walk if you want). The house was well-stocked with plenty of linens, towels and pillows. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals. The house and outdoor space were both wonderful. The area was quiet even though it is located near the ferry. Would stay here again.
Everything was great👍
Only issue, we needed more information about the club passes and the restrictions. The restrictions made them almost useless after we spent almost $600!!!
Another suggestion- please double or triple up on towels 👍1 towel per person for 5 nights was tough
We had a fantastic family vacation at this beautiful house on Bald Head Island. The house was exactly as shown on the Vrbo listing. It was very open and roomy, clean and comfortable. We loved the reverse floor plan with beautiful views of the marsh from the entire upstairs living area, and the view and breeze on the deck were spectacular. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you could possibly need. The golf carts, beach, chairs, and children’s beach toys made our days at the beach with the grandchildren super easy and fun. Cindy was great to work with and always responded quickly. We all had a great time and will definitely be back.
We have stayed in a lot of rentals on BHI and we are building our own home there. This is an amazing house and one of our favorites. The house is in an awesome location right across from marina and on the marsh. The views of the marsh are incredible. The house lays out perfectly with living areas up and downstairs, two back decks, a patio, and a crofter. Cindy, the owner, was very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend renting this house if you can get it.
House was excellent, and the view was amazing. The host was very responsive. We enjoyed our stay here.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Why they chose this property
We have enjoyed Bald Head Island for over 10 years, we have made some wonderful memories hear and hope you treasure the relaxed atmosphere of the island. The tranquil sunsets and quiet beaches are truly wonderful.
What makes this property unique
As you leave your car on the mainland and take the short ferry ride to Bald Head Island you will experience a vacation like it was meant to be. The worries and cares of the mainland will be left behind and the island greets you to a much slower pace to absorb all the beauty of Bald Head Island.
