Photos and Description of the Bald Head Island vacation house rental 3 bedrooms, 3 full en-suite bathrooms, sleeps 8

Welcome to 'Mare Tranquillitatis', our Sea of Tranquility. Formerly known as 'Serenity House', the house has been completely refreshed and updated to provide an upscale yet comfortable vacation environment for you and your family. Enjoy serene tranquility and utmost privacy amidst the live oak and palmetto trees in Bald Head's pristine Maritime Forest, but only a short golf cart ride from the deep-water marina, unspoiled beaches, championship golf, gourmet market and all of this cape island's unique amenities. The home's pastel colors, beaded board wainscoting and hardwood floors are reminiscent of classic seaside cottages, but the new chef's kitchen--featuring stainless appliances, quartz counter tops and sea glass tile--speaks to modern convenience. Guests will enjoy membership privileges at The Shoals Club, an outstanding private beach club located at the tip of Cape Fear. Privileges at The Bald Head Island Club are also available for a nominal additional charge.

The southernmost of North Carolina's cape islands, Bald Head Island is located where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean. A pleasant, 20-minute cruise by passenger ferry transports you from the Indigo Plantation and Marina in Southport, NC to the harbor village marina at Bald Head Island. A tram service (paid as part of your passage) will then transport you and your luggage to our home. Once on the island, transportation is by electric golf cart, bike or on foot. Children can explore independently without fear of traffic or congestion. South Beach is within easy walking distance, or you may choose to cart or cycle to The Shoals Club for pampering service and a 270 degree ocean view. Life proceeds at a pleasantly unhurried pace on this island of unspoiled nature and unparalleled oceanside beauty.

A Wonderful Family Vacation!

Kari D. Summerfield, NC
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our family had never been to the beaches of North Carolina, always vacationing in SC. With 2 boys ages, 7 and 9, we were a little worried that they wouldn't have enough to do on Bald Head Island. Boy, were we wrong! Once, we boarded the ferry, we knew that this would be a fabulous family vacation. With grins from ear to ear, our boys took advantage of all Bald Head had to offer. From riding bikes, to boogie boarding, to riding in the golf cart, all waiting for you to use at this wonderful house, the boys had a blast! With a temporary membership to the Shoals Club, we enjoyed swimming in the pools (the boys played pool games with other children and counselors), playing volleyball, fishing on the beach, and using the fitness room. The kayak tour we took was perfect, especially at low tide, and the boys had a fantastic time attending a session at the Conservatory Camp. At days end it was so nice to retreat to this lovely home nestled amongst the trees. It was so peaceful and quiet. At the end of the week our boys asked if we could make this trip a family tradition. I think we just might do that! We had a lovely time and Sharon is so great to work with.

WONDERFUL Home!

BeachyRM Holly Springs, NC
Review Submitted: June 14, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My husband, 17 month old daughter, and I just returned from a week at BHI. As picky travelers, we found this house to be perfect! It is so clean and full of everything you might need. We cherished lazy afternoons while our daughter napped to sit and read in the cozy living room; we loved cooking our fresh fish in the kitchen and falling asleep on the very comfortable new king mattress in the master suite. The island is so unbelievably peaceful and serene. We cannot wait to return!

Refreshed in Indiana Carmel, IN
Review Submitted: July 29, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Our family needed a break from all the craziness the school year brings and this was the perfect home to relax and enjoy some quality time. The home is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is great for making dinner. We will definitly be returning for another week of swimming, crabbing, biking, fishing, shelling and kayaking!
