About this property

New avail alert No need for BHI Club Coastal magic- pool & breezy palm trees.

New paint, fixtures and decor-beautiful Maritime Forest cottage in the private community of Ibis Roost.

Welcome to Ru Ru's by the Sea on Bald Head Island, North Carolina.

Located in the peaceful and desirable community of Ibis Roost, Ru Ru's by the sea is a place to enjoy all of the Bald Head Island magic situated in the serene maritime forest. Our 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom cottage is steps away from a very private community pool shared only by neighbors within the Ibis Roost community. With two beach cruisers, razor scooters as well as two golf carts (two four-passenger carts), we are located only minutes away from multiple beach access locations as well as the Maritime Market and other popular shopping locations in the Maritime Forest.

BHI is our happy place and we hope you experience all the magic that we have grown to love. To make our home enjoyable for your vacation, we have chosen furnishing and decor particularly with families in mind. The location of RuRu's by the Sea is perfect for a family. The children will love a swim in the private pool before bedtime making mom and dad's job all the easier. Run, do not walk, to the screened in porch to enjoy a quiet glass of wine as the children doze off from a fun day at the beach. Bike, cart or walk to explore the nearby beaches or the wonder of the maritime forest.

Ru Ru's by the sea is a 1500 sq foot cottage in the Ibis Roost community. The Ibis Roost neighborhood is made up of 29 cottages on a quiet cul-de-sac off of the main roads of the island - perfect for biking and walking even with little ones! RuRu's is directly across from the shared community pool.

Our cottage features three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Downstairs, you will find a king master bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The second main floor bedroom features a queen bed and twin bed with a full bath just across the hall. The main living area room is open concept to the dining room with plenty of comfy seating and space to spread out. The third bedroom is upstairs via loft and has two twins and a full sized bed.

The kitchen was totally renovated in 2021 with brand new appliances and cabinetry.

The upstairs open loft area is the perfect space for kids and teens, or even for a small family to share. The bedroom features two twin over twin bunk beds.

New floors were installed in 2021 throughout the home as well as new wall to wall carpet. All bedrooms as well as the living room are equipped with smart televisions.
Off of the living room is a quaint screened in porch with love seat and chair where you can relax under the breeze of a ceiling fan listening to the many peaceful sounds of the forest.

Wonderful house!

This house was just what we needed for a relaxing week at the beach. Very family friendly with toys, beach gear, and a crib. Will be back!

Perfect for small family
