About this property

Exceptional Luxury Home, Ideal for 2 Families, Easy Beach Access

Our custom-built, professionally decorated and designed home comfortably accommodates multiple families. With 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, it’s ideal for two or three families to enjoy.
Located in the heart of beautiful Cape Fear Station, you’ll be within an easy walk of both East Beach and South Beach, Shoals Club, Turtle Conservancy, Commons Park, and Mike’s Bites! The Maritime Market and other shops and restaurants are just a short golf cart or bike ride away. You’ll have the use of our two 2020 golf carts (one 4-passenger and one 6-passenger), and you can easily rent bikes and have them delivered to the house.

Our spacious open floor plan makes it easy for the whole group to be together without feeling crowded, while our private bedroom suites make it just as easy for you to get away for quiet time when needed. Our spacious kitchen is fully equipped, and a classic Weber charcoal grill is available for outdoor cooking on the deck.
Three master bedroom suites each have a queen bed and full bath. A fourth bedroom is outfitted with two sets of built-in bunk beds creating the perfect kids’ room. A fifth bedroom has two twin beds and shares a full bathroom with the bunk room.
Your group can enjoy time together indoors in the family room or outdoors on the cozy and spacious screened porch or open decks, shaded by beautiful live oaks and sabal palms.
The large dining area comfortably accommodates 10-12 adults for those memorable vacation meals, or the kids (or adults!) may choose to eat at the picnic table on the adjacent screened porch while listening to the ocean. Morning coffee on the porch, surrounded by the sounds of the maritime forest, is wonderful.
As our guests you will have access to purchase temporary guest memberships (price is not included in rental rate) to the two private clubs on the island, the Bald Head Island Club and the Shoals Club. The Shoals Club, with pool, poolside bar and grill, and indoor and outdoor dining, is spectacularly located on the oceanfront overlooking Cape Fear and Frying Pan Shoals, a rare 270-degree view of the Atlantic Ocean. At the BHI Club enjoy the new $13M Aquatic Complex with multiple pools and water slides, or dine indoors or outdoors at one its several excellent restaurants. The BHI Club also has a beautiful championship golf course, fitness center, tennis & pickleball courts, and a playground.

Our home is meticulously maintained and will provide a restful and comfortable retreat around your days’ activities. Come spend some time at Rum Runner on idyllic Bald Head Island.

Perfect!
Had a wonderful week here! Loved the layout of the home, and we all loved sitting on the back screened-in porch/sunroom! Location was so convenient to the beach and nice to have two carts and beach chairs. Dining room/kitchen table could easily seat all of us for meals and board games! Host was helpful and responsive.

Great memories made!
We had a wonderful stay at Rum Runner! It was the perfect, spacious home for our family (ages ranging from 10-80) to enjoy time together! The screened in porch was a big hit for all of us too, including our pup who made the journey with us. We enjoyed exploring many of the outdoor adventures that BHI has to offer- the trails on the Reserve, the beach, the novelty of just driving around in a golf cart. John, the owner, was so very responsive before our trip with my questions and also took the time to check on us afterwards. We made a lot of great memories and would be happy to come back to Rum Runner!

What makes this property unique

Our home is in a fantastic location on the island. We're in the heart of Cape Fear Station, one of Bald Head's premiere neighborhoods. We chose this spot because of its proximity to the things we love most about Bald Head - East Beach and the Turtle Conservancy. Our children love walking over to the Turtle Conservancy and Mike's Bites, which are only a block away. We often walk up to South Beach at Captain Charlie's Station in the evenings after dinner to catch sand crabs or talk a long walk. On hot summer days, we like to load up our golf carts with beach chairs, coolers, and other supplies, and head up to East Beach for the day. It's only about a minute away by golf cart, so once we've set up camp, we can go back and forth to the house all day to restock our food supply, use the restroom, or take little ones home for naps. We're also very close to Middle Island, where we love to go crabbing or exploring. We also like to take a canoe through the island's pristine waterways, or rent a motorboat and go out on the water for the day. As many times as we've been to Bald Head, we always leave wanting more!
