About the host

Hosted by Allie Higgins

Host profile image
We live in Raleigh and enjoy the cottage ourselves at least one weekend or week per month, so we are far from "absentee landlords." Because we stay here regularly, we stay on top of the small details and maintenance that can arise during a busy summer season. Our cleaning team is exceptional and keeps the house beautiful. We are only a phone call away and have many friends and neighbors on the island to ensure everything is perfect for your stay.

Why they chose this property

We vacationed at many North Carolina beaches before settling on Bald Head Island. At other beaches, we found ourselves spending half our time in hot cars heading to the store or restaurants along crowded roadways. At Bald Head, riding in the golf carts along quiet streets shared by bicycles and rollerbladers is half the fun.

We selected the location for our cottage, 'Second Wind,' because of the incredible ocean views and the privacy of our oversized lot. We have views looking down Water Thrush Court to the ocean, yet because we are on a quiet cul-de-sac, there is virtually no road noise.

The proximity to the BHI Club is a huge plus—we often walk there for the pool, golf, the athletic center, or dinner. We especially love grabbing take-out from Horizons to eat on our screened-in porch or at the indoor dining table while watching the ships go.

Our long, deep porches are the best feature of the house! We specifically built Second Wind for family gatherings; the layout is designed so that two families can enjoy the island together, featuring two master suites each with a king bed and private bath. We’ve spent many wonderful long weekends here with friends and family, and we hope you do the same.

What makes this property unique

The porches are easily the best feature of our house! We practically live on them in the summer, and we think you will too. The upper-level views are incredible, with upholstered furnishings that allow you to while away the hours in comfort. The screened-in porch with its paddle fan and outdoor sound system lets you stay outside late into the night without the bugs. 'Second Wind' also features two spacious master suites with king beds and pillow-top mattresses, ensuring everyone has a private, comfortable retreat. Because of our oversized lot, you have the rare island luxury of space and privacy to truly relax.
