About this property

Washashore - South Beach Oceanfront Home w/Views, Wraparound Deck, Tons of Natural Light, BHI Club

Under new management, this 5 star 3 bedroom, 3 bath beachfront gem sits on Bald Head Island’s beautiful South Beach. Windows, Windows, Windows! You can enjoy panoramic ocean views from the kitchen, dining area and living room. Or sit on the spacious wrap-around deck to enjoy the ocean breezes or watch the sunset. The central location means your vacation home is just minutes by golf cart to the harbor, the Maritime Market, and the BHI Club.


Washashore is fully equipped for your vacation. A large cooler, beach toys and plenty of beach chairs are all available. There is also plenty of of covered/shaded area on the ground floor with a table for relaxing, storage and staging your day at the beach.


You’ll love the open floor plan in this one story home. Washashore has been completely renovated recently with new furniture, HD flat screen TVs, floors, carpeting and paint. The bedroom arrangement is perfect for one or two families. Each bedroom features it's own bathroom. The 3rd bedroom can easily be used for adults or kids with a king bed and a twin bed with a trundle!


If you've never been to Bald Head Island, you're in for a real treat. You'll love driving the well kept golf carts or bicycling along the beach road or through the lush Maritime Forest. Visit Old Baldy, the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina, and learn about the Island's pirate and Civil War history. Join the Conservancy and take a turtle walk where you might see a loggerhead turtle lay her eggs or watch a nest hatch.

Great week

We had a great visit at Washashore. The weather was perfect and people were so friendly. We were looking for a home that had three bedrooms and on the water. Washashore was perfect for our family. Easy walk to the beach, short golf cart ride to the market, and all the amenities you would want. We will be coming back to BHI

Amazing location

This was our first time to BHI and absolutely loved it! The location of Washashore is perfect in that it is right across from the beach and mid island so close to the market / coffee shop etc. something we did not appreciate when we booked it. ITrip, the management company, was extremely responsive for the handful of questions we had and the house was great. In particular the thoughtful layout and large shaded deck were standouts.

Great Home

My family stayed at Washashore for a week and had a blast! The house was perfect for a family with a baby and a family with two small children. The room with the pull out bed worked perfect for the family of 4 and the master was perfect for the family with a baby. We also really enjoyed the large deck and proximity to the beach. M

First VRBO home I didn’t want to leave

First VRBO I didn’t want to leave. House was perfect for a family of 4. Had room for 4 more. House was very clean and basically brand new interior. Kitchen was fully equipped with new appliances, including washer and dryer. No need to bring tubs of groceries or etc.. we ordered groceries delivered from maritime market before our arrival. 2 min walk to beach (or 4 houses down). We were visiting with 3 families 4 doors down . Location was perfect near grocery and shopping. Literally middle of island location. 2 golf carts were fully charged and functional. Both in good shape. We highly recommend this home.

Good location, no bathrooms, or shower outside of the bedrooms

Well stocked, good location. Sleeps 8 if you have a couple with six kids or two couples and four kids, etc.— but there are three bedrooms— and each bedroom requires sharing beds. If anyone sleeps on the couch at night, there is no bathroom for them. They have to go into a bedroom and use it. Same goes for the shower.We had one adult and three of my kids who brought a friend each-one brought two friends. Three boys in one room, two boys in another room, and two girls in a room, which means Dad gets the couch, which is fine but again there’s no bathroom without headed into a bedroom. Fine when traveling with kids but if you’re going for a guys trip or a girls trip I wouldn’t recommend it unless you want to share a bed with someone.

3rd time and still a charm!!!

This is our 3rd stay at Washashore in the past 5 years. Last year we stayed on BHI in a different rental but missed Washashore and immediately booked for this year. The house is the perfect size for a small group or just the two of us. The windows and views are incredible. The house is very close to the island's center, making it convenient to the grocery and anywhere else you want to take a golf cart ride. Add in the amazing team at iTrip and it makes a perfect getaway!!!

This property is well maintained with comfortable mattresses/furniture and the three bedrooms with full baths make it ideal for a family and a set of grandparents which is how we did it. Beautiful view of the sunset from the deck. We all enjoyed our stay and appreciated the hospitality.

Fall Break

We enjoyed our stay! We rent a home on bald head once or twice a year and just love the feeling of being a world away. The views were beautiful from this home and convenient to two beach access locations. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean. We did have an issue with the plumbing in one of the bathrooms and received prompt communication from itrip in efforts to find a resolution. The living room /dining room/ kitchen are open concept which was wonderful for dining and entertaining friends that were visiting BHI as well. We would recommend this home!
