The Defense Rests at Bald Head Island

Located in the Harbour Village, this 3-story home enjoys beautiful marsh and creek views from the first floor, and river and beach views from the upper levels. Sit on the front porch in rockers to enjoy village life, or on the back porch looking out over the marsh to get away from it all.

The home is just a short walk to the bustling marina and the harbor beach, and a golf cart ride to 16 other unspoiled beaches, preserved maritime forests and marsh hiking trails.

Your rental of at least five days includes a temporary membership to the Bald Head Island Golf, Tennis and Swim Club. If you are joining us for a shorter amount of time we can arrange a club membership at a preferred rate. The BHI Club includes an award-winning golf course (green fees not included), tennis courts, a wonderful kid-friendly pool, a state of the art gym, and formal, informal and poolside dining.

For an additional charge, our guests may also select a temporary membership at the Shoals Club, which we are happy to coordinate for you. The Shoals Club ($150-$200/week depending on the season; 3-day memberships available as well) is located at East beach in a superb ocean side setting. It offers both a main pool and smaller child's pool with beautiful ocean views, as well as complementary beach chairs and umbrellas. Informal pool side and restaurant dining are available.

Our home includes two golf carts, each seating 4 people.

When you board the ferry for the 20-minute ride to Bald Head Island, you leave your car behind, along with the stress of the mainland world. Transportation here is limited to golf carts, bikes, or your own two feet… resulting in a more relaxed, easy-going pace. Stroll 14 miles of pristine beaches, try your luck on the acclaimed seaside golf course, eat at fabulous restaurants, or climb a 200 year old lighthouse.

It is a place like no other, and we hope you will soon be our guests.
