Primrose Cottage - views & breezes on Bald Head Island - 3 minute walk to beach!

Welcome to Primrose Cottage, a family-friendly and dog-friendly 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home in the Flora's Bluff area near South Bald Head Wynd at Bald Head Island. Located a short 3 minute walk to the beach, the home includes beautiful views and gentle breezes due to its elevation higher on a dune. What's unique about this home is the combination of views, proximity to the beach, and privacy. The maritime forest is directly behind the home adding to the secluded feel. This home comfortably sleeps 8 for the ideal beach vacation.

In peak season, Primrose Cottage rents Sunday to Sunday. Check in time is 4:00 PM, check out time is 10:00 AM.

HOME DETAILS:
Walk through the gated and fenced area near the front door and you'll see an outdoor shower and wash station to help keep the sand out of the house. We even include dog shampoo if you need to give your 4-legged friend a bath.

As you enter the home on the first floor you step into the kitchen with a powder room and laundry area to your left. Adjacent to the kitchen and prior to the living area is a dining table that seats 6.

Smart TV features on all TV's include apps you can sign into using your own streaming account, such as Netflix, Apple TV, Hulu, Disney+, etc. There is also a gas fireplace (available seasonally only).

Beyond the living room you'll find the front porch with comfortable seating for 7. Wrapping around the side of the house is a screened porch with outdoor dining table for 6, and an outdoor propane grill.

Up the stairs to the second floor you'll find the primary bedroom at the front of the house and a second bedroom, each with a private bathroom. The primary features a spectacular view from the bedroom on a private deck which includes two comfortable chairs. The king size bed features a Casper mattress and ample supply of pillows and linens. Included in the primary bedroom is a desk overlooking the view of the ocean for those times when you have to catch up on work. The primary bathroom has double vanity sinks and a tub/shower combo.

Opposite the primary is the second bedroom that is perfect for the kids or a small family. The room shares two bed units: a queen bed, along with a twin-over-full bunk bed. A small smart TV is located in this bedroom. A single vanity sink and tub/shower combo is in the private bathroom.

A separate structure a few steps from the main house is where you will find the crofter, a private third bedroom over the golf cart garage. This bedroom has one queen bed, desk, Smart TV and full bath with a tub/shower combo.

Charming & Great Location!
This was our first visit to Bald Head Island & this house was absolutely perfect for us. Andy was so helpful and communicative, we were very impressed and grateful for him reaching out and his responsiveness. The house is adorable & has everything we could need. The kitchen is TOTALLY stocked with appliances, spices, and oils, plus plenty of towels, beach towels, and beach accessories (chairs, toys, etc.). The golf carts and bikes provided were perfect, we used them everyday and loved exploring the island. The house is perfectly located near the beach and the market. The house was pretty clean, but we especially loved that the house was dog friendly and there was dog shampoo available outside the horse at the wash off station, very handy. It was great that our parents had a place to stay that was all their own too above the garage. We loved the porches & we played games at night all together, that were provided as well. We had the best week & can’t wait to visit again.

Wonderful fall vacation
Our family of four enjoyed a fantastic, long fall weekend at Primrose Cottage. It was everything we hoped it would be. Breathtaking morning views of the ocean from the master suite and unbelievable stars in the night sky from every window. A fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds and couches, and beach towels, toys, and bikes made everything perfect.

Wedding Weekend
My brother and wife, myself and husband and mom stayed at Primrose Cottage for a family wedding at the Shoals Club. The cottage has everything you need! Nice linens and beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella! Golf carts work well and the kitchen update is really top notch. Love the paint colors and decor too. We had a wonderful time sitting on the front porch with extended family. We may have a family reunion on Bald Head and if we do I will definitely try to book Primrose Cottage.

Why they chose this property

After vacationing with our family for many years, we fell in love with Bald Head Island. We purchased Primrose Cottage in the Spring of 2020 and have been making improvements ever since. The views, ocean breezes, short walk to the beach and privacy make this home special. We hope that you will enjoy your time making memories in our family vacation home.
