Photos and Description of the Bald Head Island vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Loft, 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 9)

Just a 5 minute walk from the Beach and shopping, enjoy our wonderful Caribbean style home on beautiful Bald Head Island, North Carolina. Membership to Shoals Club included at no additional cost. Adobe style architecture, arched doorways, terracotta tile and marble floors, tons of outdoor living space, and an open floor plan are a few of the distinctive features that make this home so special. Ancient live oaks, a very private yard, and the sound of the ocean from the screened back porch make this a wonderfully peaceful retreat.

Nestled in the maritime forest on Bald Head Island, you will find serenity and peace as you lie in the hammock on the screened back porch, listening to the sounds of the forest and the ocean, and observing the frequent deer or occasional fox that visit the back yard, which is surrounded by majestic live oaks and backs up to woods on all sides. This home is VERY private, with no neighbors in front of, behind, or to one side of the home.

Both the master bedroom and the back bedroom open to the screened back porch. As for convenience, the home is a 3 minute golf cart ride or 5 minute walk to the nearest beach and just around the corner from the island grocery store and other shopping. Your rental will include membership to your choice of the Shoals Club (a pristinely located island beach club with pools, boardwalk, towel service, cabana, fine dining, and gym) or the Bald Head Island Club (tennis, crochet, dining, pool, gym). Access to both clubs is available for an additional fee. (Note that BHI Club no longer allows social members to play golf.)

For those who love their TV, this home is equipped with four TVs with satelite, 2 DVD players, a VCR, and a nice home stereo with surround sound. The TV in the family room is a new 50' plasma with HD channels. All bedrooms have a TV with statelite. Wireless high speed Internet is provided, so bring your laptop. A separate sitting room with warm wooden flooring offers a cozy place to read or talk apart from the main living area.

Why the Owner Chose Bald Head Island: My mother moved to Bald Head in the mid 1990's, and I visited often. At times, she and my step father would leave the island and let me stay there. Over the next few years, I knew that I wanted to own a home on Bald Head and worked hard to make that a reality, purchasing a couple of lots and a villa on my way to buying Summer Breeze in 2001. We have made a great deal of upgrades to the home to make it the sweet island getaway that it is today and spend a large portion of our rental income each year to make the house progressively better. Summer Breeze is our escape sanctuary. We go every chance we get. Nights are so quiet. The only sound you here in the house is the kitchen clock. Since our home is in the forest on an island in the ocean, it gets wonderfully dark at night, and the stars are brilliant, like fireworks in the sky.

We want to stay!

Ben & Elizabeth,

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. When we finally arrived after much delay and car issues, we were pleasantly surprised to find a lovely, peaceful, and extremely well-kept home. I mean a "home," not just a rental property. Your personal touches make such a difference. We felt very welcome. After a whirlwind wedding (my nephew), we can relax today, and then we are off again.

By the way, "Bug," our pomeranian, did not want to leave! He loved it here and made himself right at home.

I hope people respect and enjoy this lovely home the way we did. I just wish we had more time to relax and enjoy the island. Hopefully, we'll be back! Thanks again!

Ria & Peter & Bug too.

No stress at Summer Breeze!

Submitted: November 25, 2012 Stayed: September 2011
Ben & Elizabeth,
Oh, this was just what we needed to de-stress, relax, and enjoy! your lovely home was the perfect setting. Our doggies Katie & Charlie felt right at home from the beginning, running laps on the screened porch, riding around on the golf carts, and relaxing in the sun on the porch. Our favorite time was drinking our coffee and tea on the front porch swing and thinking about "nothing." The convenient location of the home made it easy to get to the beach every day and bike around the island. Our adult daughter and her boyfriend were "first-timers" here, and they are talking about a possible future Bald Head Island wedding. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Dearest Friend Ben & Elizabeth,

What a wonderful wedding gift you have given Eloise and me, in giving us a week at Summer Breeze! We laughed harder, waled the beach longer, and did "nothing" with more enjoyment that ever before. The memories we made here will last for a very long time. The kids came for a few days - weekend - to have bragging rites about being able to come to this wonderful island and stay in your incredible home. They were on the go the whole time. The bicycles were a big hit. Being here in the off-season gave us free rule and no lines. A big plus was having our beloved dogs with us. We solved the world's problems rocking on the front and back porch. We were entertained riding around in golf carts and were spellbound on the nature walk, seeing the ancient, massive live oaks. We read, rested, ran, fished (not!), talked, played cards, sipped coffee, enjoyed wine with many great meals, and feel very grateful to have you as special friends and fellow Christians. With many thanks,
Stephen & Eloise Mayberry

What an extraordinary place to be. The best of both worlds...forest and beach and an incredible house to enjoy all of it! Your location is ideal and all the amenities in the house are great. My family (kids included) loved every part of it. The owners definitely have their hearts into this house and including the Shoals club was such an extra bonus. Thank you so very much!
