We had a wonderful time at BHI! The house had everything we needed for a great stay at the beach. The hosts were excellent to communicate with and very responsive. We used all the decks and enjoyed the big open living room. We would certainly consider staying here again.

The home was in excellent condition when we arrived. Many details and notes to ensure you know where everything is and how to use. Katie and Edie were excellent in communicating before we even arrived and throughout our stay. We had a great experience. Thank you.

Everything about our stay was amazing! We loved the location, the access to BHI Club for the pool, the two golf carts and the unlimited supplies of beach towels, chairs and beach toys for the kids! BHI exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to come back!

Perfect spot for our family!

The house was perfect for us. It had everything and we needed and more for our kids. We loved how quiet the street was yet so close to the beach and right near an access. Everything was great!!

Great stay!

This was our inaugural trip to BHI, and even though Hurricane Isais made the start of the trip a little scary (80+ mph winds, tornados, and no power for 2 days), we ended up having a fantastic trip! The house was clean, comfortable, and a great place to spend a week with the family and easily could have accommodated more than the 4 in our group.

Well Stocked Home with lovely morning coffee deck

The home is stocked with everything we needed with loads of extras! It is very close to beach access for amazing sunsets. Plenty of room to hang out in Living/Dining areas as well as comfortable beds.

Lovely spacious house in a great location

We loved staying at Ferry Tales. It has plenty of room for 2 or 3 couples plus kids. Great master porch on the 3rd floor for panoramic sunsets and two other porches on the main level for sun or shade. Location is central and on our favorite beach. We look forward to staying again!

18 Years!

Ferrytale Retreat was the perfect location and living arrangement for us to celebrate year 18 of coming to BHI with our friends! The house was welcoming and so well stocked with everything we could have imagined. We all agreed it was a home we would return to.

Would 100% stay again

The location was PERFECT. Quiet cul-de-sac with quick access to south beach. It was great to have the 2 gold carts and the house and rooms worked great for our family and a couple of our son's friends. Katie and Edie communicated well for our entire stay. We would definitely rent this house again!

Wonderful House

This was our first time staying on Bald Head Island and we really enjoyed this house. It is so beautifully decorated, and really well equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The beds were really comfortable, and the sitting area was a great space to hang out in. The communication with Edie and Katie was amazing - they were so responsive and very helpful. Having two golf carts and the bikes was such a wonderful to get around the island.

50th Anniversary

Our family very much enjoyed our stay. The home was very well equipped for our needs. The first kitchen I’ve seen with more than enough supplies. The location was beautiful. We loved sitting in the evening on the comfortable decks. In all Ferrytale Retreat was a perfect place for our family celebration. Thank you

Outstanding all around!!

We stayed for the week with our 4 adult kids 20.23, 25 and 27 year old with our oldest’s wife. We had the most incredible time together - and Ferry Tale property made it even more spectacular. Close to the beach access, and nice views from the 3 decks. The property was super clean and freshly painted / maintained and not one detail was left out. The owners / managers obviously take pride in their beautiful property. We will definitely book again!!

Ferry Tale Retreat is a lovely home with everything one could need for a fabulous week at Bald Head! Katie was very attentive and helpful during check in and throughout the week. The kitchen was very well appointed and organized. Only feedback would be that the green cart windshield was very difficult to see through when driving at night and into the sun. Won't keep us from renting again though! Thank you!

First time, definitely not last time!

We discovered BHI as we were looking for somewhere special to celebrate my sons graduation. We rented Ferrytale Retreat for five days. The house exceeded expectations with cleanliness, amenities, space and location. Edie and Katie were very easy to deal with and extremely responsive to questions and issues. I highly recommended considering this hone. We left BHI with great memories and will definitely be back.

So happy with this property

We spent a great week in baldhead Island at this property. There are windows everywhere that invite so much light into the family room and dining room. I couldn’t believe how well stocked the kitchen was with all the “little things” that you never remember that you need. They also have all of the drawers and cabinets labeled to help find everything you could possibly need in the kitchen They provided plenty of beach towels, the pantry is huge for you to organize your own groceries. The two golf carts worked great, as well as the bicycles. I would not hesitate to rent this property again.

Perfect weekend getaway!

This was my first time staying on the island (we've only done day trips before) and everything about it was perfect. Leading up to the trip, Edie & Katie were very easy to communicate with and sent us all the details we needed - check-in process, ferry/tram information, a map of the island and things to do. The house was very bright, spacious and had all of the essentials needed (kitchen was fully stocked, beach towels, chairs, bikes, etc.) I stayed with my family and our spouses and the house was spacious enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of eachother the whole time. We were walking distance to the beach and a quick golf cart ride to anywhere else on the island. My family and I all fell in love with BHI during our stay and we wish we would have stayed longer. We will definitely be back!
