We have 5 bedrooms with a total of 18 sleeping places, including 2 king beds, 2 queen beds, a bunk room with two twin over full bunks (one queen bed is also in bunk room) and an extra fold out sofa bed, and a daybed (regular twin with extra drawer bed).

Little Marsh Magic was the perfect spot for our family’s week at BHI. The location is perfect with gorgeous views of the marsh and just a quick golf cart ride to the beach. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets on the dock, morning and evening walks around Cape Fear Station, and even did some shopping during our stay. The host was great and we were pleasantly surprised by what was available for our use during our stay. We hope to be back again!

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to hosting you again.
We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely book this home again.The house is beautifully furnished with high-quality, comfortable furniture that feels perfectly suited to the home while still being warm and inviting. It truly felt like staying at the home of a friend or family member rather than a typical rental.The kitchen is one of the best-stocked we’ve experienced in a vacation rental. We love to cook, and it had everything we needed. The beach setup was equally impressive, with golf carts, beach towels, a Shibumi shade, and plenty of other beach gear that made our stay so easy.We also appreciated all of the thoughtful details throughout the home, especially the abundance of hooks, seating, and places to put things. Those little touches make a big difference.The owners have clearly put a great deal of thought into making guests comfortable, and it shows. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already hoping to return.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so glad you found our place warm and inviting and we can’t wait to host you again!
Beautiful and very welcoming home. Amazing marsh views. The community walkway/pier is a wonderful plus, great for watching wildlife. Home is in a quiet neighborhood with very little traffic. Nice for little ones on bikes or scooters. We also appreciated the well stocked kitchen, the pack n play, highchair, and many beach towels.

Thank you for your kind words, Marisel! I try to make your stay as worry free as possible. We will be happy to host you again in the future!
We had a wonderful stay at Little Marsh Magic. Carrie was a pleasure to deal with and we had no issues. Everything was as listed and pictured - exceeding our expectations. The home was nicely stocked and furnished and located in the charming Keepers Landing neighborhood. The porches faced the marshes with walkable docks / really serene all around. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning.

So glad you enjoyed your stay, Sing! We look forward to hosting you again.
Great home for our large group (6 adults and 5 kids). The cousins loved sleeping together in the bunk room and the TV/day bed room was a perfect place for the early risers to play/hangout. The views of the marsh from the upstairs porch are amazing we enjoyed watching/listening to the birds as we drank coffee in the morning and ate dessert in the evenings. Having a table where we could all eat together was wonderful. The dock was the perfect spot for our kiddos to fish as the sun sank into the marsh after a fun day at the beach. Having two golf carts was great and we especially appreciated the rack on top of the four seater as we had lots of stuff to haul! We happened to be on BHI during the World Cup, Stanley cup, and NBA finals so the great room was a popular spot and we loved having lots of comfortable seating there. Thank you Carrie for sharing your little slice of paradise with us.
