About this property
NOW AVAILABLE LABOR DAY, OCEAN views, 2 KING masters. 2 clubs- separate purchase
This ocean-view home is just a short walk to South Beach. Don’t miss out!
Welcome to Second Wind – your breezy, beautiful escape on Bald Head Island, where panoramic ocean views, privacy, and comfort come together for the perfect beach vacation. Just 650 feet from South Beach, this spacious, open floor plan, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home is ideal for two families, couples, or anyone looking to relax and recharge by the sea.
Inside, you’ll find a bright and spacious reverse floor plan with the main living, oversized kitchen, and dining areas upstairs to maximize the ocean views. Large windows on three sides flood the space with natural light, while a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops offers everything you need to cook and gather. Whether you're enjoying cocktails at the bar, reading in the great room, or playing board games at the dining table, there's plenty of room to connect with your people.
The screened porch, with comfy, upholstered chairs, and adjoining sun deck offer the perfect places to sip morning coffee, listen to the surf, or watch ships glide by on the ocean and Cape Fear River. In the evening, the west-facing porch becomes your front-row seat to island sunsets—best enjoyed from a rocking chair with a cold drink in hand.
The home features two king-size master suites, each with a pillow-top bed, private bath, built-in closets, and smart TV. Both open out to a covered porch facing the ocean, ideal for reading, cards, or a quiet nap. Two additional bedrooms with twin beds share a full bath and are perfect for kids or teens. All together, the home offers about 2,800 square feet of living space, hardwood floors throughout, and nine-foot ceilings.
Our oversized estate lot provides privacy, lush greenery, and wildlife sightings—from deer to ospreys. Despite the peaceful setting, you're just a short block from the sand and a longer block from the Bald Head Island Club.
For easy island travel, we include two golf carts—one six-seater and one four-seater—plus a trailer for hauling beach gear. You'll also have access to at least two adult bicycles* (more available to rent on the island), eight beach chairs, umbrellas, and a stash of beach toys for kids. * Not guaranteed due to flat tires, etc,, that we may not be made aware of.
Other features include free Wi-Fi, central AC, a Bluetooth speaker system throughout the house and porches, a big screen TV, and a large library of beach reads, games, and puzzles. The dining room seats eight to ten comfortably, with additional bar seating for four and an outdoor table for four on the screened porch.
With ocean views throughout the upstairs and unobstructed ocean views looking down down the street from our porches, easy access to South Beach, and close proximity to dining, golf, tennis, and pools, Second Wind offers a truly unique spot on Bald Head Island. The quiet cul-de-sac location and mature landscaping create a secluded, serene setting—while still keeping everything you need within reach.
*The BHI and Shoals Clubs are both available for separate purchase (not included in the rates or fees listed on this website), subject to availability. You apply and pay for these memberships directly with the Club; rates are on the respective Club websites. The BHI Club caps temporary memberships every week. Shoals Club caps temp memberships for the 4th of July weeks. So if club access is essential to you, please call and confirm availability BEFORE you book with us. BHI Club: 910-457-7300 x. 6. Shoals Club 910-454-4888. IMPORTANT: check tram/ferry availability that meets our karrival/departure time requirements BEFORE booking with us: baldheadislandferry.com. Our address is 13 WaterThrush Ct. If it’’s a late booking and no tram/ferry space is open around our arrival/departure times, please contact me before giving up to discuss options. NOTE that all renters must bring beach towels because, sadly, our maids don’t provide or wash beach towels (only house linens).
We’d love to host you!

About the host
Hosted by Susan Burkhart
We live in Raleigh and use the cottage ourselves for our family one weekend or week per month (in the summer), so we are not absentee landlords. We can stay on top of the little things that can go missing or get broken with everyday summer usage, in particular. Our maids are the best and keep the house beautiful. Since we use the house regularly ourselves, we attend to the details that need attention. We are only a phone call away, in Raleigh, and have many friends and neighbors on the island. So, we are not distant, absentee owners.
Why they chose this property
We vacationed at many North Carolina beaches before settling on Bald Head Island. At other beaches, though, we spent half of our time going from hot cars to the store, restaurants, etc., along crowded roadways. At Bald Head, riding in the golf carts along the quiet steets, shared by bicycles and roller bladers, is half the fun. We selected the location of our cottage, 'Second Wind,' because of the great ocean views, privacy of the oversized lit, unobstructed ocean views down Water Thtush Court to the ocean, and proximity to the BHI Club and ocean access. Because we have an estate lot, larger than the typical lot, we have privacy from neighbors and virtually no road noise, as we are on a quiet cul de sac. We walk to the BHI Club for the pool, golf, to use the athletic room, lunch or dinner. We especially like take-out lunch of dinner from Horizons, which we often eat from our screened in porch or indoor dining table, watching the ships go by (unique to our lot) or the sun go down. Our long and derp porches are the best feature of our house! Second Wind is great for family gatherings. We built the house so that two families could enjoy the house together, with two master bedrooms, each with king bed and bath. We often invite another family to join us for long weekends at BHI.
What makes this property unique
The porches are the best feature of our house! We live on the porches in the summer, and you will too, on your vacation. The views are incredible and the upholstered furnishings on the upper level allow you to while away the hours in comfort. The screened in porch with paddle fan allows you to stay outside late into the night, without bugs, and socialize with your family or friends, while listening to the outdoor sound system. The large indoor dining table is great for building puzzles. Other great features of 'Second Wind' are the ample sized master bedrooms with king beds and pillow-top mattresses. The next best feature is the oversized lot, which means you can play your music and laugh a little louder. Second Wind is a welcoming and restful home away from home.
