Wonderful time!

My husband and I, along with my sister and brother-in-law have had the pleasure of staying at Blue Moon for three April vacations. Each time that I have arrived there I had the feeling that all of the stresses and hustle and bustle of daily life have just slipped away. Blue Moon is so comfortable, spatious and beautifully decorated. We enjoy sitting on the balcony viewing the ocean or taking long walks along the beach. We have been lucky enough each year to see dolphins passing by. One of the things I love best about Bald Head Island is being away from traffic. Riding bikes and golf carts is the way to go. We have enjoyed so many things from sunrise Easter service on the grounds of the local lighthouse (Old Baldy) to a guided kayak ride. We hope to have many more trips to Blue Moon. It truly is our home away from home. The owners are very accomodating and go out of their way to be sure that we have a great stay. As soon as we arrive home after a stay, we start checking our calendars to see when we can head back again. I would recommend Blue Moon to anyone, from families with small children to "empty nesters" like ourselves.

Our extended family made trips to Bald Head Island in 2002 and 2008, and we had decided that BHI is a place we want to keep coming back to. However, we hadn't found the ideal house until we discovered Blue Moon and spent a week there in May 2009.

Blue Moon is the perfect house for two adult couples and a couple of youngsters. It's tastefully decorated, well kept, comfortably furnished, and equipped with lots of books, games and toys for young and old. It has a great oceanfront location, and we love the reverse floor plan with spectacular views from the upstairs living area and deck as well as from the two beach-side bedrooms and adjoining screen porch. It's in a quiet cul-de-sac that is relatively convenient to the Shoals Club and the market.

We have loved our vacations on BHI for the past 7 years, and Blue Moon is by far our favorite place to stay; once we found it, we stopped looking for other places on the island. It is perfectly located -- right on a gorgeous stretch of beach and not too far from either of the clubs, the harbor, or the marketplace. The views from the living areas are outstanding and the screened-in deck in back is a nice place to get the kids out of the sun for a bit while still enjoying the sounds of the waves and breeze off the ocean. Our favorite days are spent at least in part just walking the beach looking for shells or checking out the sea turtles' nests (last year, to our son's delight, one nest was dug on the beach right in front of the house our first night there, so we got to observe the counting of the eggs and fencing-in of the nest to protect it from predators and were able to follow its progress online all summer through the Conservatory's web page). On any given day, we might be lucky enough to find a few sand dollars and perfect welks, and we often get to see a dolphin family or two not more than a couple dozen yards offshore, following a school of fish. We also enjoy the pools at the two clubs, especially the gorgeous poolside views from the Shoal's Club. The house is well-stocked with games and puzzles and beach toys, as well as bikes for the whole family, so we've found that there's not much we need to bring but clothes, beach towels, golf clubs, and a good book or two. We have always been impressed by the responsiveness of the owners; for example, in one of our earlier years staying at the house, we noted in the feedback survey that it would have been nice to have beach chairs at the house so that we didn't have to bring them with us, and the next summer there were beach chairs waiting for us in the garage. Blue Moon is bright, clean, and comfortable and we always leave rested, relaxed, and wishing we had booked it for longer!

You and your family will love Blue Moon! The unobstructed view is spectacular and you can't get much closer to the beach than this! Down the boardwalk and you are on the beach! It is very convenient especially when you are carrying children, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and sand toys. You won't need to bring any toys from home because they are all available at the house! It is fun to go back year after year and see the boards we left behind the summer before.

We have been going to Bald Head for 4 summers and all have been at Blue Moon! We have spent more than 9 weeks there. Truly our home away from home. It is a long journey from Illinois to BHI, but the second you are at the ferry dock you are on Turtle Time! Rest and relaxation at it's finest. We hate to leave and our kids start asking in November "How much longer until we go back to Blue Moon?" It makes for a very long winter!

Between the beach, pools, camps, porch swing you will never be bored. There are plenty of toys, movies, bikesmetc. for the kids to enjoy every waking minute.

The house is the perfect size! The house is VERY clean and extremely comfortable. My family's favorite place to relax are on the two decks. The lower deck is a great place to unwind after a day at the beach. The swing is my favorite spot! The upper deck is great all day long, but especially at night. Some of the best star gazing EVER and a great place to relax and have a glass of wine after the kids are in bed!

The kids are so safe on BHI and especially at Blue Moon. It is located on a cul-de-sac off the main road and it is a great place to ride bikes, rollerblade or shoot hoops at the neighbors. The neighbors are great. We have gotten to know many of the neighbors/owners over the years and will make your stay even more enjoyable.

The owners of Blue Moon are wonderful people and are so accommodating. They are very easy to work with and genuinely want you to enjoy their home as though it was your own. If you stay at Blue Moon you will want to return again and again!

My husband and I just returned a week ago (11/3/08) from a great trip to Bald Head Island. We had never been there before and did not know anyone else that had visited Bald Head Island. But we were looking for a quiet, comfortable place right on the beach and Blue Moon on Bald Head Island was the answer. Since I located it on the internet, I could only rely on the pictures and descriptions that were provided. And they were right on! There were no surprises and it was exactly what we thought it would be – fabulous! The owners were responsive and patient with all of the questions that we had prior to and during our trip. And the unit was beautifully decorated and furnished along with being clean and in great shape.

We like to travel to new places but we are certain that we will return to Blue Moon as often as we possibly can. I highly recommend Blue Moon to anyone looking for a relaxing and fun beach getaway.
