About this house rental

Located in Bald Head Island, this attractive house for $700 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Dalwhinnie Cottage, Killegray Ridge, Bald Head Island, North Carolina, is a bright, airy, whimsical, three story lantern oceanfront beach house facing South Beach with direct beach access by boardwalk to the ocean and reversed living area on the second floor which offers spectacular views of the ocean. The ocean views from this cottage are incredible - on a clear day you can see forever. The cottage has over 50 windows and glass doors, offering views from every vantage point which are ever changing with the sun, clouds, rain, fog and wind. From the windows flanking the East side of the cottage is a view of the point of Cape Fear with the waves on East Beach falling on the Cape, and beyond onto the Frying Pan Shoals. Directly in front of the house is South Beach w/the clear vista of the ocean with dolphins frolicking and pelicans diving for fish, waves lapping towards the front of the cottage and ships on the horizon entering Cape Fear River. Sunrise can be enjoyed on the east side of the cottage from all 4 bedrooms; sunsets from the oceanfront exposure of the cottage during fall, winter & spring months, as well as from the tall windows flanking the west side of the house, and most certainly, from the third floor west windows during summer months. Views do not end at sunset. We have no smog or city lights to hide the moon, stars, even the space station! Environment: Dalwhinnie is the last cottage in Killegray Ridge on the ocean, immediately next to Braemar within sight of Cape Fear. A boardwalk extends directly from the oceanfront porch of Dalwhinnie to the beach access. The location affords privacy to its guests - living exposures focus on the ocean and the uncrowded beaches. The street entrance to the house is on a cul de sac off of South Beach Wynd. The extensive boardwalk system in front of Dalwhinnie extends west thru Killegray Ridge into Flora’s Bluff - perfect for walking and play. There are 14 miles of beaches, never crowded, waiting for you to step onto, directly in front of Dalwhinnie. South Beach begins at the Point of Cape Fear and ends at the west end of the island where the ocean meets the Cape Fear River. Dalwhinnie is the perfect place for families with children or four couples, for families renting multiple houses for weddings or reunions or for a quiet get away for one couple. Each master suite -first floor king bedroom and crofter - offer privacy. A queen sized sleeper sofa is on the second floor with half-bath access. All four bedrooms have a private bath. Floor plan: First Floor includes nine-foot ceilings with foyer; Master Bedroom with King size bed and private bathroom faces the ocean with direct access to the oceanfront rocking chair porch; a second bedroom with 2 double beds & private bathroom has direct access to the screened porch. Second Floor is the reverse living floor, it has high vaulted, beamed, 14-foot ceilings and hosts the living-dining-kitchen area with an oceanfront deck facing the ocean (South Beach) and a 2nd deck off the dining room faces east towards the point of Cape Fear and frying pan shoals. This deck has dining table and 4 chairs. The kitchen and dining room are located on the second floor floor as well. The second floor sports 17 windows and doors, allowing for our guests to enjoy the ocean without stepping outside. Third Floor is our whimsical lantern room with vaulted ceiling which includes two twin beds which can be converted to a king, Windows surround the lantern room, facing east, south, and west; and bathroom facing north. Crofter has 14-foot vaulted ceiling with view of South Beach from window over bed and from deck.

The description was spot on! Lovely views of the ocean. Paddi’s instructions were perfect. Communication prior to our trip was excellent. She was very responsive to questions upon arrival and made sure all was in proper order. Dalwhinnie was a perfect set up for our family. Looking forward to coming back.

We have been regular visitors to BHI for 30 years, and this may be the nicest house we have stayed in. Definitely, now our favorite! The second floor living area is spacious and comfortable, with panoramic views of the dunes and the ocean beyond, and two porches to sit on for morning coffee and lunch. You can hear the waves crashing in the distance. The house is a ways away from South Beach Wynd, so no road noises, and surrounded on two sides by dense foliage. It's in a small cluster of houses, but it was a very quiet neighborhood while we were there. Beach access is direct via a boardwalk from the downstairs porch. The rooms are all comfortable, including the crofter which our son enjoyed using, and the surprising large third story room (with high ceilings, and a bathroom) that our daughter claimed as the "eagle's nest." There was more than enough room for everybody, for our family of four. Oh, and there was lots of beach equipment, unusually well organized and in good condition. One thing to be aware of: since the house is on three levels there are stairs to negotiate on a regular basis (i.e., from bedrooms to living area), and that might be an issue for some. Of note, the owner responded within minutes to any questions we had, before and during our stay. Her availability was much appreciated. I hope we can come back to this house next year.

The owner was extremely helpful and instructive. This was our first time on the island. She prepped us well in advance for what to bring and all of the many wonderful intricacies of life on the island. The house was just incredible.

We were more than happy with our beach stay. The beach house was exceptionally clean and well stocked with pans, dishes, kureig, blender, crock pot, and so much more. Paddi is an ideal host. She is quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had about our stay. I highly recommend staying at the Dalwhinnie. We look forward to staying again. Thank you, Paddi for being such a wonderful host!

Location was just amazing with the boardwalk directly to the beach from the back porch. The home was a so beautiful! Beds were nice and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Bathrooms didn’t have any toiletries except a bar of soap which did surprise me a little at the price point. But the stay was very comfortable and the golf carts were so fun!! We hope to come back again!

Dalwhinnie Cottage lived up to it's billing. It was our first trip to BHI and the property manager, Paddi, was a joy to work with and made it easy. Any questions or issues were addressed immediately. BHI and The Cottage is a special place and our family is already looking forward to our return!

Amazing location and property. Steps to the beach making the beach accessible sunrise to sunset! Impossible not to relax and enjoy the beautiful BHI beach. House is clean, well maintained and has all the necessities for your week. Paddi was accessible and a pleasure to work with prior to trip and during the week. Very professional.

First, it was a pleasure renting from Paddi! She was always on the spot and organized with timely communication. Dalwhinnie Cottage proved to have an ideal location and appointed with the appropriate upgrades, comfortable bedding, and a fully stocked (even over stocked) kitchen with utensils, pans, etc...honestly, you could have cooked a full Thanksgiving feast! We are already looking forward to our next opportunity at Dalwhinnie Cottage.

We had a fantastic time! The weather wasn’t exactly “beach”, however Dalwhinnie/Flora’s Bluff was the perfect place for relaxation and rest. The house’s layout gave our family together time and space for downtime. We are looking forward to another stay!
