Carolina Moonshine @ BHI
From the moment I stepped onto the property, I was greeted by a stunning view of the harbor and the charming coastal atmosphere that enveloped the area. outdoor spaces that truly stole the show. The location of the property overlooking the harbor was the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the serene surroundings. You can spend countless hours watching the boats go by and marveling at the beauty of the sunset painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The location couldn't have been better for exploring all that Bald Head Island has to offer. One of the highlights of my stay was the sense of peace and tranquility that permeated the air. It was a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing me to truly unwind and recharge. I can't recommend Carolina Moonshine @ BHI highly enough. It's the perfect destination for anyone seeking a coastal retreat with unparalleled views and endless opportunities for adventure. Many thanks to the hosts for providing such a wonderful experience!

Great Island Cottage!!
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!

Great location
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.

Perfect!
My husband and I were in town over NYE's weekend for a dear friend's wedding. This location right at the Marina was perfect! It's so close to the ferry that you don't have to worry about a tram service - it's just a quick little walk. We also had dinner at Jules the first night, and that was also within walking distance. The golf cart that's included with the rental came in handy the rest of the weekend, getting to and from all of the wedding festivities. In addition to the location being perfect, the bed, pillows, and linens were so comfy we found it hard to get out of bed! It exceeded expectations on all levels - including our gracious host.
