Bald Head Island 3 bdrm home with tons of porch space. Convenient to BHIC!

Located on secluded Bald Head Island with no cars (golf carts only), and a nature preserve, Shrimp 'n Grits is an ideal getaway. The home is minutes from the marina, BHI Club and a beach access (500 feet) on the western side by the Cape Fear River. Located on a cul-de-sac, it is a quiet location, great for little ones who want to practice their bike riding skills!

You can see our proximity to the beach on the aerial photo. (Our favorite beach accesses for kids and swimming are also not far away, on the southern side near the BHIC) This website gives a great breakdown of your beach options! http://rentals.coastalurge.com/bald-head-island-beach-guide/

You may purchase a temporary membership under our Lifestyle membership at both the Shoals Club and Bald Head Island Club. We strongly recommend you look into the clubs as they have really wonderful amenities. Shoals Club sets out beach chairs and umbrella for members, and offers pools and restaurants. Bald Head Island Club has sports like croquet, tennis, golf, etc., great pools for kids and restaurants. This is a separate purchase that you coordinate directly with the club.
Once you have booked the home with us, go to these respective links to request a temporary guest membership with the club of your choice. Do not wait as they process these in advance and will cap temporary memberships! We will need to authorize your temporary membership under our full Lifestyle membership. Accordingly, you are responsible for any damages or infractions at the Clubs. Be sure that you submit the form to the club in advance, as there may be a fee for requests with less than 5 days notice.

A few notes about Club changes: They have changed dates when renters can access the clubs. Some dates/times are for permanent members only. Also, they capped how many temporary rental memberships are available, so request this ASAP before they sell out! Payment is now based on per person instead of per bedroom. Lastly, they are now capping the number of individual temporary members per home, and our home's cap is 8. If you have more than 8 guests, not all can use the club. I strongly suggest contacting the club to ask your questions and get clarification. Unfortunately, we do not know all of the details, and calling or emailing the club is your best bet.

Visit the club websites and the BHI Conservancy to learn more about the island's various pools, golf, kids camps, kids dissection classes, nature walks and more! Our family has really enjoyed their amenities. The historic Old Baldy light house also offers a chance for a birds eye view of the island, while water crafts are also an option for those who enjoy sailing, kayaking and more.

If you are looking to book several homes for a larger group, we can help connect you with our two neighboring homes, essentially booking the private cul-de-sac for your group. (Several families in need of larger space choose to rent out 2-3 of the homes for the week)

A small starter kit with a roll of paper towels, toilet paper for each restroom, 1-2 dishwasher and laundry pods, is provided.

This is a non-smoking property. The homeowner has serious allergies to tobacco products, and therefore we can not allow any smoking or vaping on the property (indoors or outdoors). Thank you for understanding how important this is for us.

We support our military, and as a small token of appreciation, we will provide a 10% discount to the first 2 military families bookings per year (proof of ID required). Thank you for your service!

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed. The owner's doodles do occasionally visit.
