Carolina Moonshine @ BHI is the best in the Marina! This shingled cottage rimming the Bald Head Island Marina with south-facing porch provides breathtaking waterfront views of marina, harbor, ferry terminal, & river. The sunrises & sunsets over the water make it spectacular!!! The harbor location makes it the center of Island activities summer, winter, spring or fall! Carolina Moonshine is within walking distance to all the restaurants, bars, coffee & ice cream shops. It is convenient to Old Baldy Lighthouse & Smith Island Museum and the Village Chapel & Post Office. Take advantage of Moon Shine's location with access to three Beach Accesses directly from the harbor. The island beach accesses are for everyone. You may enjoy visiting the South & East Beaches too, but you have your own here in the harbor. From here you can go island cruising through the maritime forest or take the beach route called Bald Head Wynd on our 2 passenger golf cart to the beach, the market, the clubs, or conservancy. You can rent bikes, sailboats, kayaks, or stand up paddle boards to tour the island, too. Carolina Moon Shine's spacious one bedroom has new Pottery Barn Linen King Bed with Westin Heavenly Mattress topped by luxurious linens and down filled duvet and pillows. Seating area includes two upholstered chairs and mirrored table for morning coffee or just looking out over the water. Accessories are tastefully appointed with mindfulness to your comfort. Separate kitchenette is fully furnished with 2 burner cooktop, mini refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, fully stocked china and cook wear. Maritime Market has everything for your gourmet tastes! No need to pack much as it's all available on the island! Adjoining full tiled bath with glassed-in shower includes necessities, towels and hairdryer. South facing porch with teak chairs & table encompass all marina views from ferry dock to yachts to restaurants and lighthouse. A beautiful place to have your favorite drink. Conveniently located close to beach and salt marsh creek accesses and all water activities. Be sure to ask about the optional Bald Head Island Club Lifestyle membership available for golf, tennis, swimming, croquet & fine dining. Boutique shopping and spa facilities are located on island.

Property was clean, easily accessible, bed very comfortable and the perfect location. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay very much. Highly recommend staying here.
Great location. Check in process very smooth. Convenient to restaurants and beaches. Good view from upstairs deck. Property is a little tired and could use some updating.
We loved this property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was clean and beautiful with a great location. Thank you to the owners for a lovely stay!
Carolina Mooshine and its great host, Hugh, allowed us a wonderful stay on Bald Head Island. This is a perfect place for a couple checking out BHI for the first time.
Really enjoyed my stay and wish I could have stayed longer. Very cozy with a most comfortable bed and view of the marina. Extremely close to the ferry and lighthouse. Owner was very fast and prompt with reservation and check-in. Highly recommend!!
We loved staying at Carolina moonshine! It was cute and cozy and the perfect spot for my husband and I. The house was clean and had everything we needed and more! We would definitely come back!
My wife and I spent a few days at Carolina Moonshine for our 30th wedding anniversary. I was a little worried it may be too small, however it was absolutely perfect for a couple and we had everything we needed. Interior was very nice and the location right on the water at the marina was beautiful. This rental comes with a golf cart which was great for getting around the island.The owner, Hugh, was great to work with and very responsive to any questions, which was a big help since it was our first time visiting Bald Head Island. We would definitely stay here again.
This is a beautiful home. Perfect for the two of us. Great location. Everything you need is provided. Host was easy to work with and communicated clearly and promptly. We will be back and highly recommend to everyone.
My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend getaway. The location is very convienent to the ferry and local shops/restaurants. The golf cart could use some maintenance, especially on the brakes but it was functional for what we needed. Overall, a nice relaxing weekend - we would recommend.
Truly we couldn’t have asked for more! The harbor view, the central location, the amenities included with the stay, and the wonderful host - you couldn’t pick a better place to stay if you tried! We will absolutely be back!
The views are spectacular…west side of the island so you get the sunset. The location is great and the golf cart provided is critical. I would definitely get the club membership for the pool (and tennis/golf). The place is renovated and very clean. Highly recommend!
We loved this gorgeous home! My husband and I drove our boat and rented a slip- since this home is right on the marina- we could keep an eye on our boat from the house. Great location, golf cart a huge plus. Property owner was helpful and easy to work with. 10/10, great stay!
I had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage on the marina. It was clean, had beautifully views, and stocked with thoughtful extras like coffee, creamer, and bottled water. The host was responsive and even allowed an early check-in, which I greatly appreciated.The included golf cart was quite fast, though the brakes required strong foot force to stop safely. I ended up renting another cart out of caution but this may not be an issue for some. Overall, most everything about the cottage exceeded my expectations. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bald Head Island.
This property was absolutely beautiful!!! It was so clean, nice, and romantic.
Hugh did an amazing job at hosting and accommodating. He responded quickly with any questions!!
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Carolina Moonshine very much. We came to the Island for a wedding and the small and well appointed home was perfect. Everything you need for a weekend or longer stay is provided. The bed was very comfortable and love all the windows which bring in the outside views and lots of light. Perfectly located with easy walk to the Ferry and Marina. The information provided by our host was detailed and accurate and very responsive. We highly recommend this gem of a house.
