About this property

Beautiful quiet home on Bald Head Island - short walk to beach


  • Welcome to Sheltering Oaks, a peaceful 3BR/3BA retreat nestled beneath ancient live oaks and sabal palms on Bald Head Island. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac at the end of a private driveway, this home offers privacy, comfort, and the perfect setting for a relaxing island escape.
    Just a short walk to the beach (under ¼ mile) and the Maritime Market (about ⅓ mile), you’ll enjoy both convenience and serenity.

    Thoughtfully Designed for Families & Friends
    The open floor plan creates an inviting space to gather after a day in the sun.
    Two spacious downstairs bedrooms, each with a private full bath.
    Private upstairs suite with full bath — ideal for kids or guests who want their own space (with a door at the top of the stairs for added privacy).

    Step outside and unwind:
    Rocking chairs on the welcoming front porch
    A screened-in back porch with dining table and rockers — perfect for morning coffee or evening dinners while listening to the distant roar of the ocean
    Weber grill for easy outdoor meals

    Two 4-passenger golf carts
    Beach chairs & beach towels

    The Magic of Bald Head Island
    Accessible only by passenger ferry and free of cars, Bald Head Island is a rare coastal treasure. Spend your days on pristine beaches, climb the historic Old Baldy Lighthouse, bike beneath maritime forest canopies, or enjoy waterfront dining overlooking the marina. Once you visit, you’ll want to return again and again.

    **There is an external security camera on the premises, however it is turned off while guest are staying.

    Also please note that there are wild animals on the island. It is not uncommon to see deer, turtles, frogs, toads, coyotes, snakes, and even alligators. Please be respectful of the wildlife and be sure to keep your trash in the designated locked trash receptacles!
