Magnificent Home for Vacations, Weddings and Special Events
- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Focused on Intimate Weddings, Receptions, Rehearsal Dinners, Corporate Retreats, Family Vacations and other Extra Special Events, this home represents a more private alternative to a commercial facility.
Comfortably sleeping ten to twelve and providing a social setting up to 60 guests (or more with prior approval and additional fee) on the expansive deck, 'La Vita Bruta' (the hard life) is right on the beach with it's own private access. It is one of the few homes on the East Coast that has the beach and the water on the West side for magnificent sunsets and settings for memorable pictures. With several other homes for rent on the same street, your whole party could stay within walking distance.
This property is built on a double lot for maximum intimacy and privacy. It was custom designed and built as a full time residence, so it is loaded with detail not usually found in a beach house. It has been featured in 'American Dream Homes' and 'Haven' magazines.

We had an absolutely wonderful time and the house was a huge part of making our daughter's wedding seem right out of a fairy tale. Having the wedding party stay all together really made the evnt special. And the house and beach were perfect. We will send some pictures of the wedding for your photo album as soon as they come in. It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Everything was perfect and people loved the party Friday night. The low country boil and cupcakes were a total hit! The house was great. What a beautiful place. It definately gave us some things we hope to have in our home one day. Thanks again for everything, it was a truly special week!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Thank you so much for allowing us to experience your beautiful home! It was a wonderful vacation, one that the kids and adults will remember forever. Your home is really spectacular and the sunsets, lighthouse view and access to a private beach cannot be topped... I think our next trip to Bald Head is going to be low key (just my wife and kids...), while the crowd was great it also was a little work...:) I am however trying to persuade my partners that we should host a corporate retreat on Bald Head this fall for the company. If we do so, I will certainly be in touch as I couldn't of a better place to have it.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

What a woderful home you have! We're enjoying all the many lovely rooms, the special lighting at night, and the family time in the kitchen and hammock. The beach is good for shell collecting. Again, we had a wonderful time in your home - and thank you for the drawing of the house! Also, the ships going closely by were breathtaking indeed -Did you find this review helpful?

Why the Owner Chose Bald Head Island:
We custom built this home as a permanent residence and lived here full time for 4 years. When our daughter leaves for cillege we will move back full time. Bald Head is a special place...as is our home.
This is NOT your typical vacation rental home!
The Unique Benefits at this House:
We built straddling a double lot so we have alot of privacy. Facing West, our sunsets are spectacular. We have direct views of 2 lighthouses.
Fishing from the beach in front of our home is fabulous (right down our private access walk) and the kite surfers enjoy the easy launching point and prevailing southwesterly breezes all summer long.
The mainland lights at night as well as the ships navigating the deepwater channel to Wilmington break up the monotony of a typical ocean view.
