This is just what we needed- a mini vacation. A great place to drop into Bald Head Island. Perfect couples retreat and walking distance to some of the greatest dining! The cottage is very simple. We loved there was a golf cart to get around in and the porch offers great sunsets.

Location, location, location! This hut is so convenient and has ever you need for a stay on BHI. Spotless all around, spacious for the two of us. Foldaway table for stuff or morning coffee, eats. It couldn’t be easier reserving, checkin, quick communications through out the process and our stay. Would absolutely stay here again. Market and shops just a cart ride away. Beaches are beautiful! Don’t hesitate to pick the Star cottage.
