Don’t miss the opportunity to jump on this classic coastal beauty and make this YOUR Coastal Haven! *BHI Club "House" Temporary Guest Membership available with this home for additional purchase.

Welcome to our little piece of paradise, Coastal Haven! We have been coming to the island for the last few years and wish we had found it sooner. We have four children ages 22, 20, 16 and 13, three girls and boy. We live on Maryland's Eastern Shore and while we have ample beaches within a short drive from home, there is nothing like Bald Head Island. This is the place where we can be fully present. It is unlike anywhere we have ever experienced. There is something about no cars and being surrounded by nature that lets you take it all in. The forest and the beaches are endless and open for all to explore. When our children get to the island they are gone before our bags hit the floor. They are off on bikes and skateboards, running free with no cares other than to explore and be kids. We spend our days playing on the beach, looking for shells and riding the waves. Then we hit the pool for some afternoon fun, snacks and drinks before dinner, whether that's cooking at home, or enjoying one of the fantastic options on the island. We love Mojo's sushi, cooking fresh salmon from the market, or a fabulous steak dinner at the BHI Club, to name a few. There are also happy hour evenings on the beach and if the winds are cooperating, even s'mores around a beach fire (with the proper permit of course!). We typically round out the evening with a very intense game of Uno around the dining room table. There is usually a daily trip to the market for one thing or another, from breakfast at the cafe, to restocking our food supply, and even great wine tastings. With three daughters, the shops are a regular stop - each has its own style and full of great souvenirs to take home. Mike's Bites is usually a daily visit too, whether it's for boxed lunches or his one-of-a-kind frozen ice, it's the perfect cool treat on a hot day. There is the weekly Turtle Trot 5k, which is open to everyone and benefits the Conservancy (plus you get a great t-shirt for participating). We follow all of the turtle nest hatchings and excavations, which is an incredible opportunity for all ages to experience nature firsthand. It has given our children the gift of appreciating the efforts of the Conservancy and respecting nature through hands-on experiences. There are bird outings, kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding, fishing and even night rides to monitor the sea turtle nests with the interns. There are countless activities through the BHI Club as well, from kids' camps, to family games and holiday special events. After all of this activity, don't forget there is a full-service spa to pamper you, too! Over time, we have created our own cherished rituals, like getting up early to watch the sunrise on East Beach, adopting turtle nests and looking for the elusive intact sand dollar on our beachcombing expeditions. There is the quiet time too - at the house, sitting in the open air, on a porch or a deck, feeling the breeze and listening to nothing but nature. This is what vacation should be about. This place offers everyone the opportunity to unplug and unwind from the chaos and noise of every day life. This time with our family is priceless. The memories are countless and the days go by in a blur of bliss. In a world where we go so fast, here we savor every moment of taking it slow. We are so thankful to have this small piece of the island and we want our guests to enjoy it as much as we do. This is our vacation home, and we have taken great care to make it yours, too. We have rented countless beach properties here and elsewhere over the years, so we are resident experts (with very high standards) on what makes for a comfortable, clean and exceptional beach vacation property. As a Coastal Living Designer Network Member, this is my specialty. Everything in this home is brand new and we hope the furnishings and finishes will set it apart from anything you have experienced. We have tried to incorporate all of the details and comforts that we appreciate into this home, down to even the smallest visitors. As parents of four, we know what it's like to haul all of the 'stuff,' so we have tried to minimize that for our guests. This home is perfect for families of all sizes, multiple families, friends, couples, girlfriends' getaways, guys' trips, graduations and weddings to name just a few! It is unique with its attached, but separate guest house, as well as the central location to everything on the island. There are plenty of spaces to be together, or find some quiet time alone. The incredible grove of palm trees surrounding the house is nothing short of good for the soul and we hope you will leave counting the days until you return!

We had no regrets renting Coastal Haven. The owners are quick to respond and helpful. The home is just lovely!! Very clean home and decorated so beautifully. The large porch and the furniture allow for several places to sit and enjoy the outside. This home is stocked with everything you need and more. The owners obviously want you to feel at home and have thought of providing everything from baby things, games, bicycles, and much more!!

This lovely house is well located, and this year we decided we wanted something in the woods instead of on the ocean. It was private, quiet and lovely. The hosts were very accommodating and could not have been more responsive to our questions and requests. Highly recommended!

Our family and our best friends rented the house for a week - it had everything we needed - layout was perfect and we had just the best time ever.
House was decorated so cute - loved all the coastal details. Everything was super clean - nice big closets and pantry space so we could put everything away and feel at home. Lots of little cute spaces to eat outside, have a drink, read a book or play a game.
Definitely one of our favorite houses so far !

Our favorite home on the island! When the weather didn’t want to cooperate, this house made our stay

Kevin was easy to work with. The house set up is great for two families with a primary and secondary buildings all connected by a single roof.
One of the carts was busted but he proactively communicated with me and got us a rental cart. I’d say the biggest downside of the house is that both carts are 4 seaters but the house sleeps more than that.
Clean house, plenty of dishes, all the amenities you could expect, spacious living, lots of chairs and bikes, central location…we’d go back for sure.

The house accommodates an extended family comfortably. We appreciated having bikes and a stroller for the wide age range, as well as having two golf carts

We had the most amazing time celebrating my moms 80th birthday at BHI. I highly recommend this property if you are considering a vacation on the island. Owners are so helpful with the process. We look forward to going back next year!

We visited this beautiful home at the end of September 2022. The house was clean, well stocked, and accommodated two families very well. 4 adults and 5 children (ages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and we both agree we would visit this home again in a heartbeat. The guest house gave each family their own spaces and served well for naps and noise. 2 Pack n Plays, a high chair, some art supplies & stuffed animals. Ample yard for kiddos to explore and run around. Bikes, stroller, beach toys, chairs... everything we could need. We had trouble finding a twin size sheet for the trundle bed and the owners were quick to provide what we needed. We were easily able to put blackout shades on the windows for the kiddos and had no problems finding what we needed in the kitchen (cooking for 9 every day is no easy feat without a well stocked kitchen). I would suggest bringing some age appropriate toys with you in case you are spending some time indoors. The weather was a little cool/rainy bc of an incoming storm and we found our range of children needed a little more to occupy them than what was provided by the home (our fault as we were trying to minimize the amount we brought over with us). Our visit was cut short by a hurricane and a ferry closure and the owners were incredibly responsive and accommodating when we decided to leave early so we wouldn't be stranded on the island during the storm. We have already discussed our plans to return in 2023. Well done!

This house was absolutely perfect for four couples. We all had plenty of space to spread out and hang together or separate. The yard games were great and the driveway made a perfect location for afternoon competition! The screen porch with comfy couch was my favorite place for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening!

My family (plus my sister’s family and my parents) rented this lovely home for the weekend of my nephew’s wedding. The home’s location was in close proximity to the chapel and the market (plus places to eat on the island). I feel like where ever we needed to go was just a short golf cart ride (less than 5 minutes!). Home was clean when we arrived and the check-in and check-out process was smooth. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

Coastal Haven is a beautiful cottage with ample space to gather and get away. It has everything you might need for a relaxing stay. The decor is warm, clean and inviting. You feel as though the host/hostess has thought of everything to make you feel welcome. We were on BHI for a family wedding and my extended family visited us often and remarked on what an incredible house it is and what great space.

Great home for family vacation. The only reservation I have was that while it slept 12 there were only two master suites and a loft that slept 3 which made it somewhat tight for the 11 of us.

Overall Wonderful Vacation, Home, & Experience! GREAT place for families with little kids!
We are so grateful to have stayed at this beautiful home owned by such a gracious family!
We had a diverse bunch: 8 adults, 2 teens, and and 2 little ones (1yo & 3yo). The layout of the house worked out great for this type of group. Early risers were able to stay in the main house with the little ones, and later sleepers were able to get their rest in the guest house. We SO appreciated all of the kids items provided -- pack & play, high chair, kids dishes & utensils, games, toys, jogging stroller, etc. Traveling with little ones requires a lot of packing, but the accommodation of this home made it so much simpler! Such a huge plus for us.
The location of this house was great -- a short ride to beaches, the pool, shops, etc. Located in a nice quiet circle.
The house itself is beautifully decorated and FULLY stocked. Honestly the most fully stocked rental we have ever stayed in. Again, much appreciated when having to bring less over on the ferry!
Finally, the owners are truly delightful and clearly care genuinely about guests having a positive experience. Kevin was extremely quick to reply with every question and gave extensive detail on anything and everything we inquired about. So thoughtful!
THANK YOU for a wonderful, memorable week with family!

Coastal Living is a beautiful home with several areas to hang out in with family and friends. It is stocked with several items you don’t have to bring including beach coolers, games and towels. Kevin was very easy to work with and the location is great close to the marina and the market. If we only had one complaint it would be we had 9 people with only 2 four seater golf carts making transporting everyone tricky at times.

You need only bring food, drinks, a book,your bathing suit and a pair of sneakers. Location on the island is in the wooded shady space which was magical and was only a small cart or bicycle ride to the beaches, lighthouse, the market/shops and the pool. Fantastic trip! All nine of us really loved this house!

We spent Spring Break on Bald Head with my family (my husband + 5 and 6 year olds), my brother in law’s family (his wife + 16 month old, 10 and 13 year olds) and my in laws. The house was beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything we needed and more. The baby supplies (stroller, high chair, sippy cups, etc) were especially nice for my sister in law. They also had bikes and helmets for all ages and lots of toys and games for the kids. The guest house and two golf carts made it easy for each family to do their own thing when we wanted to while having plenty of together time too. The location is perfectly situated - walking distance to Old Baldy & the marina. A short golf cart ride to BHI Club and the beach! The owners were incredibly generous with tips and family favorites on the island and very responsive. We would highly recommend and plan to rent from them again
next year if they’ll have us!

We have been to BHI a number of times and stayed a variety of properties. This house was, hands down, the best we've ever booked. The property itself is perfectly located a mile from the marina, a mile from the market, and 3 miles from the BHI conservancy. The interior is gorgeous, with top of the line appliances, and is stocked with all the essentials that you would need (condiments, paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, tissues, spices, a huge assortment of pots/pans, two coffee makers (one drip and one K-cups) and filters), and would normally have to either buy on the island or bring with you on the ferry.
Little touches like having USB chargers conveniently located on the nightstands, travel size soaps, towels (bath and beach) in large numbers, lots of plates/cups/utensils, games/dvds for the kids (and parents), chairs set up around the exterior of the house and the screened in wrap-around porch all add to the feel of "home" and allow you to relax completely. The living room is located on the second floor of the main house and has wall-to-wall windows circling the entirety of the upper level, giving you (as one person in our party described it) the feeling of being in an "ultra luxury tree house". Gorgeous landscaping and canopied shade throughout the property help make this property amazing.
The kids were thrilled to find bikes, boogie boards, and sand toys available for use. The two golf carts worked beautifully, are easy to operate, and easy to charge.
Bottom line - I cannot say enough good things about both the house and the owners of this property. Communication was prompt and the owners were ready and willing to help in any way they could to make our stay even better. This is the house we will stay at every trip to BHI from now on.
