Good location. Unless you’ve packed a ton, close enough to walk from ferry without using the tram. Could use tissues, so bring them because there weren’t any. Otherwise, having the golf cart was great. Just don’t forget to pack beach towels and depending on the length of your stay you may need extra bath towels too.

My husband and I stayed for two nights at Earth, and it was perfect for us! The cottage is quaint and right on the marina. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the deck overlooking the boats each morning. It was lovely, and we will definitely go back!

We absolutely loved this cozy little cottage. It was so cute and clean. It’s in a beautiful location and all the windows allow an unobstructed view of the marina. The property managers were wonderful and communication was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

Ideal Location

Really enjoyed our stay at Earth Cottage! All the amenities are provided. Just minutes from the ferry, right on the marina. Walking distance to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus ice cream! The beaches are awesome (!!), and the golf cart provided is perfect for exploring all that BHI has to offer! We will be back!

We highly enjoyed staying here. The host is wonderful. We had a minor issue that was not the fault of the owners, but just something out of their control and they were so gracious and hurried to make our experience the best possible. We did wish there was a little stove or hot plate bc we love to cook our own food BUT… there are plenty of places to eat on the island. We will definitely stay here again. It was absolutely wonderful to wake up and see the marina. 10’out of 10 recommend

Quick couples getaway

We took boat down and were able to get a slip very close to Earth. Great location for us. Secured a Shoals Club guest membership. Cart that came with Earth isn’t a looker but gets you to market and other end of island quickly! Accommodated an early check in which was awesome. Perfect spot for two for a few nights!

Quick get away

The cottage was perfect right on the water in front of the boat slips in the marina. It was nicely equipped and very comfortable. We had easy access to everything on the island. Many restaurants to choose from. We look forward to coming back.

Celebrating a Wedding

This place was an awesome place to spend a weekend at! Extremely clean and warm and welcoming. The location is so cool because you wake up overlooking the harbor! There are plenty of places so close to eat and relax. Homeowners are quick to respond and make sure we were taken care of. Will definitely stay at again in the future.

Bald Head Island EARTH is a great place to visit. I would say that the tram attendants were wonderful, but the office people were not very helpful.

Great Compact Cottage on the Water!

We love Bald Head and only had time for a quick visit. Earth bungalow is ideal for two who want beautiful harbor sunset views, a tiny kitchen (no stove), and easy access from the ferry to shops and restaurants. Coffee close by too. We appreciated the use of the golf cart and chairs and had an easy time working with the super responsive management. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
