Relax and enjoy a carefree vacation in 'Southern Comfort'. This coastal Carolina cottage is hidden away on secluded Fort Holmes Trail in the heart of Bald Head Island's maritime forest. 'Southern Comfort' is tastefully decorated, beautifully maintained and furnished with everything you'll need for a memorable stay. Wi-fi, linens, beach equipment, a charcoal grill, two golf carts and departure cleaning are all included. A temporary membership to the BHI Club or Shoals Club is included in the rent (for weekly rentals).
A CHARMING HOME
Enjoy outdoor dining, curl up with a book or just relax on the spacious screened porch that adjoins the living and dining area on the ground floor. We anticipated all of your cooking needs when we stocked the large, open kitchen. A powder room and generously sized master bedroom/bath suite are also on the ground level.
Upstairs you'll find a second full bath and two more bedrooms, each charmingly decorated and furnished, one with twin beds and the other with one twin and bunk beds. Kids will love using the upstairs sitting room with its own television and DVD player, comfortable seating and game table. 'Southern Comfort' also has a high chair and Pak and Play for your little one.
A CONVENIENT LOCATION
'Southern Comfort' is located in the western side of Bald Head Island, a short golf cart ride to the ferry, the Maritime Market and several accesses to South Beach as well as the Shoals Club and BHI Club. At the Shoals Club, you'll find a swimming pool, separate baby pool, fitness center and boardwalk to the beach. The Club provides beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas. It also features an outdoor snack bar and an elegant restaurant for more formal dining.
The BHI Club's 18-hole George Cobb designed golf course has been completely refurbished. The Club has several venues for dining including the popular Pelicatessan that adjoins the swimming pool. It also offers four newly resurfaced tennis courts, four croquet courts and a fitness center.
Bald Head Island's 14 miles of beaches are known as a sea turtle nesting area. The Bald Head Island Conservancy offers turtle walks during nesting and hatching season as well as a variety of nature programs throughout the year. While you're here, rent a canoe or kayak and explore the creeks and marsh. Try your hand at crabbing or surf fishing. And you won't want to miss Old Baldy, the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina.
'Southern Comfort' is a non-smoking home and pets are not allowed. On-Island manager is available for your peace of mind.
We'd love to host you and your family for a memorable visit on Bald Head Island.

Great house!,Layout allowed night owls (screened porch)and early risers (quiet bedrooms)to enjoy a perfect holiday.Owners were very helpful with any concerns. Our crew really enjoys cooking and eating so a larger dining table with seating would have been good.There certainly is enough space for a table for 16!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Our first trip to BHI was made even more enjoyable with our stay at Southern Comfort. The home is more lovely than the photos show and very roomy. The screened porch, comfortable TV areas and well equipped kitchen make for a place we hope to return. Thank you to Mike for his prompt attention to all details.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We had such a great vacation on BHI, due in part to the hospitality we found at Southern Comfort. As stated in other reviews, the pictures do not do it justice. The house is extremely well maintained and roomy; the layout of the house lets the kids have their own area upstairs, complete with a large movie and board game collection. The house was almost too big for our family of 4 - we could have easily accommodated at least two more people. Mike was extremely responsive, and stopped by twice to make sure everything was to our liking. When heading out to the beach on the first day, we couldn't find the beach umbrella in the garage. We called Mike and upon our return from the beach 3 hours later we had a new umbrella waiting for us. We loved being in the Forest, in a quiet cool area away from the beach. The golf carts made it so easy to get to any beach we wanted, and we made a habit of visiting different beaches each day. Great vacation - we plan on returning.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

We highly recommend this rental house! It was sparkling clean and well maintained ... We had everything we needed all week. The location is fantastic - private and quiet for relaxing, but only a few minutes on the golf cart to the beach or marina. The layout of the house, with living spaces on both the first and second levels, was perfect for our family.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

My family and I recently stayed at Southern Comfort for a long weekend and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The house was great and very well-maintained, plus the location on the island is perfect, close to the BHI club, beach, and shopping--however the house was so comfortable that we never wanted to leave! The property owner was wonderful to work with and gladly accommodated our travel schedule--we'll definitely be renting from him again. I definitely recommend this property and am looking forward to staying at Southern Comfort again soon!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We had a fantastic time at "Southern Comfort". The home was perfect for 6 of us and the photos and description gave us a perfect preview of what to expect. The home was comfortable, spacious and clean. We appreciated having 2 golf carts and the property owner (Mike) was very easy and professional to work with....he even checked in with us during our stay to make sure all was ok.This will be a memorable vacation and we look forward to staying at this home again in the future.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Our stay at Southern Comfort could not have been better. The charming and immaculate home provided everything that our family needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. Our daughter was married on the island during our stay and the home allowed plenty of space for her rehearsal dinner. The property manager was pleasant and responsive to work with and we plan to return to this property for years to come.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Four of my friends and myself were visiting BHI for our friend's wedding, so we did some research and decided to stay at Southern Comfort. The father of the groom dropped us off at the house from the ferry and was amazed by the deal we had. Such a beautiful, spacious house. Pictures don't really show you how much room there is. VERY private location, but you are still less than five minutes to the market and the beaches. Wouldn't stay any other place on Bald Head. Great owner, great house, great experience!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

I stayed here with my daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and fiance for a weekend. The stay was absolutely wonderful! My fiance and I stayed upstairs and we loved it---a living area in itself! We loved seeing the island and by staying at Southern Comfort it was very easy to get to everything. I was very happy that there were 2 golf carts that were at the house b/c that help with getting around with a 2 month old grandson. I am so happy my daughter found this house for us and if/when we come back to BHI I will definitely rent from this owner again. No need to look for another house when this house was perfect!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

My family and I were here for a wedding weekend. The owner, Mike, made sure that the wedding weekend was exceptional starting with allowing us to check-in early, so I could make it to a bridesmaid brunch. He called to check on us and ask if everything was okay and if he could do anything else to make our visit better. Overall, Mike was a wonderful person to work with and I wouldn't rent from anyone else on the island except for him! The house----PERFECT! My mom and her fiance came to keep my 2 month old son during the wedding and they had their own upstairs the entire weekend. Everything that we could have needed for the weekend was at the house and it was a perfect place for a family to spend time together. When returning to the island for a visit there is NO OTHER place I would go except for SOUTHERN COMFORT and there is no one I would rather rent from then Mike Boozell! This stay was a great first impression of the people and homes on the island.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
