About this property

Beautiful quiet home on Bald Head Island - short walk to beach

Welcome to Sheltering Oaks, a 3Br/3Ba home in the maritime forest. Our home is just a short walk to the beach (under a quarter mile) and the Maritime Market (about a third of a mile). House is on a quiet cul-de-sac, down a private driveway, and is surrounded by beautiful live oaks and sabal palms. The house features two four person golf carts, a front porch with rocking chairs, a back screened in porch with dining table and rockers, an outdoor shower. The home has an open floor plan with two large bedrooms downstairs (each with attached full bath) and one bedroom upstairs with full bath. Home is equipped with everything you need for your vacation including tvs, dvds, Wii-U, games and puzzles, a record player and plenty of records, boogie boards, beach chairs, bikes, and a Weber grill. Listen to the roar of the ocean from the screened in porch. Upstairs bedroom has a door at top of stairs for added privacy.

A guest membership to the Bald Head Island Club is available, and can be rented for guest use for an additional fee by contacting the Club directly and letting them know that you are a guest at Sheltering Oaks. The Bald Head Island Club offers elegant dining, a beautiful private golf course, newly updated pools, croquet, tennis, and a gym. (Disclaimer: Guest Memberships are limited and not guaranteed.)

With no cars and a quiet island location, Bald Head Island is a unique, relaxing destination. Accessible only by passenger ferry, this island is a true gem. Visit pristine beaches, climb to the top of the historic Old Baldy lighthouse, or ride your bike around the island's tree canopied roads. Stop for a drink overlooking the marina and dine on the waterfront. Once you visit, you'll want to return!

**There is an external security camera on the premises, however it is turned off while guest are staying.

Also please note that there are wild animals on the island. It is not uncommon to see deer, turtles, frogs, toads, coyotes, snakes, and even alligators. Please be respectful of the wildlife and be sure to keep your trash in the designated locked trash receptacles!
