About this property

Ocean View - Family Friendly - Steps to Beach

Welcome to our family's home away from home: "Lighthouse Point." We lived in Lighthouse Point, Florida, when we were first married and loved our beach time there. Fifteen years, three kids, and one move to North Carolina later... we discovered Bald Head Island, our new beach favorite!

The beach access is just steps from the home, which means it's easy to traverse with your kids and beach gear in tow. We're adjacent to the Bald Head Island Club so you have a short walk or a one-minute golf cart ride to enjoy all the amenities there, which include multiple pools with splash pads and slides, a playground, golf, tennis, fitness facility, croquet, casual dining poolside at Horizons and fine dining inside the club. Our home is also just minutes to the Maritime Market, Shoals Club, as well as all of the fun activities on the island.

"Lighthouse Point BHI" is 2500 sq. ft. with over 800 sq. ft. of covered porches so you can take advantage of the spectacular ocean views and breathtaking sunsets. There is covered parking under the home for the two golf carts (one 4-passenger and one 6-passenger included with the rental) as well as an outdoor shower to clean off after a day at the beach.

The first floor features 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a laundry area, and a kid's lounge with a 65" SmartTV and comfy couch (allowing the adults quiet time upstairs!). Our home sleeps 10, but we have a house rule of a max of 6 adults. The kids' lounge has a large bay window and access to the porch. There are built-ins with toys and games for all ages. The first master has a king-size bed and ocean views. You can access the covered porch from the master and relax in the rocking chairs while listening to the waves! The luxurious attached bath has a large double vanity with quartz countertops and an oversized tiled shower. The second master also has a king bed and attached bath with quartz vanity and tiled shower. Both masters also include 55" SmartTVs. The third bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk room. The bunk room has one twin-over-twin and one twin-over-full bunk bed (sleeps 4-5 kiddos).

The second floor is a completely open concept that flows onto a large covered porch with breathtaking ocean views. This is the perfect place for enjoying relaxing dinners! The kitchen includes custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a large center island, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, wine fridge, and walk-in pantry. The dining area has a large table with seating for 8 in addition to seating for 4 at the island. There is a cozy sitting room -- perfect for reading a book or watching the sunsets. The family room has a large sectional, a wall of custom built-ins, and a 65" SmartTV.

All rentals include access to guest memberships at Shoals Club and BHI Club (summer guest memberships are limited at both clubs, so sign up quickly!). Also included are bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, basic toiletries, beach chairs, beach toys, bikes, baby gear (2 pack-n-plays, changing pad, bouncy seat, high chairs). Our house is very kid-friendly for sure!

We personally manage the rentals for our home and enjoy developing a relationship with each renter. We are always available by text, phone, or email and have on-island support staff to handle any issues that may arise during your stay. We are confident that you will be pleased with our home -- from the location to the layout and ocean views.. And we're sure you will fall in love with Bald Head Island just as our family has! We look forward to sharing our home with you!

We had a wonderful stay and have nothing negative to say. Two comments, the freezer was producing frost and not efficiently producing ice, an ice machine would be a nice addition for the well planned kitchen. The Keurig was a little messy to use, descaling would remedy that. Thanks for sharing your home on a American Treasure Bald Head Island.

Fantastic Stay at BHI
My family had a wonderful week-long vacation at Bald Head Island and a primary reason was our awesome rental! The house was a vibrant, comfortable, and well-stocked home base for all of our beach activities, and the view from the decks are tremendous. Included little details like provided beach towels, starter washer/dishwasher pods, tons of baby/toddler equipment, etc. just add to the ease of planning a week at the beach. And they had it all here. In addition to the five-star physical characteristics, I cannot say enough about how responsive the owners were during our stay. We had a minor issue with the fridge when we arrived and it was fixed in no time and on a Sunday to boot. Basically this was the complete package for a no-stress, awesome beach vacation.

Highly Recommend - Great Home - Great Location - Great Owners
When I go on a family vacation, I want everything to go smoothly without any problems. Everything was perfect with renting Light House Point on Bald Head Island. Owner communication was tremendous. We cheated a bit and took a private boat/taxi to (and from) the island with BHI Delivery (which I highly recommend). The house was great and well equipped and comfortable. Easy (and short) walk to the beach. It was a great family vacation -- kids enjoyed it, and mom and dad were able to relax. Highly Recommend. Thank you.

Perfect!
Everything about the property was as advertised. Ideal for young families with bunk beds, two primary bedrooms, two golf carts, two highchairs and two pack n plays. Kristin was incredibly responsive, helpful and flexible!
