About this house rental

Nestled in Bald Head Island, this charming house for $354 per night is a great choice for your next break. This beautiful Nantucket inspired cottage in Surfmans Walk is nestled in the maritime forest, just a short walk from East Beach, the most popular beach on BHI. It is also a short walk (and even shorter golf cart ride) to Shoals Club, The Commons Park, Bald Head Island Conservancy and miles of biking, hiking and walking trails. The two screened porches and tree-canopied patio with fresh salt air and the sounds of soothing surf in the distance offer a perfect backdrop to read, drink a glass of wine, cook out, have your morning coffee and relax with family. The back screened porch has a beautiful swinging bed and directly accesses a boardwalk complete with ancient oaks, Spanish moss and a community gazebo. Outdoor deck is outfitted with a gas grill and comfortable seating. Al fresco dining is available in the screened-in porch and the deck. This house provides extra privacy as each bedroom has it’s own bathroom and smart TV. There are two bedrooms in the main house. The master bedroom has a king bed. The other bedroom in the main house has 3 twin beds (2 twins and a trundle). There is also a detached tree-house style guest cottage over the garage, which provides extra privacy with a queen-sized bed, smart TV and ensuite full bathroom. Cottage is well stocked with all the comforts of a relaxing beach vacation—WiFi, 2 golf carts (6-person and 4-person), heated outdoor shower, 6 beach chairs, 4 cruiser bikes, cooler, bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, beach umbrellas, sand toys, boogie boards, surf board, board games, books, portable high chair, pack n’ play crib, Keurig and regular coffee makers, blender, crock pot and fully stocked kitchen. Bike helmets are not provided. Bike pump is in the garage. Weekly rentals are Saturday-Saturday in summer. We will entertain shorter stays outside of the high season. Message me to discuss. Our house has the option to purchase a temporary membership at Shoals Club (pool/restaurant/beach access) for $100 per person per week during high summer season and $150 per person per week on holidays (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day). Not all homes have access to clubs. Shoals Club is closest to the house (5 minute walk), oceanfront and offers pools, dining, fitness center and beach access. The club offers beautiful views and excellent food. Photos of the club are included in the pictures for our house. **NOTE: If playing golf on vacation is important to you, then you need to rent a house that provides a golf membership to BHI Club. This house only offers a membership for Shoals Club. NO GOLF/TENNIS. Another benefit of our house is having 2 golf carts—4-person and 6-person. 2 carts enable groups to separate for the many different activities the island has to offer. Amazing restaurants, a spa, and a fully stocked market are minutes away from this quintessential Bald Head beach cottage. In short, our goal is for you to have everything you need to enjoy the perfect vacation. We will take good care of you on your stay. Please message me with any questions.

We had a wonderful week here! From the initial booking, Catherine the Host kept us on track for our Bald Head vacation by affirming that we had our ferry/tram tickets ordered to answering questions that popped up before our arrival. This place was perfect for us (myself, my husband our son, his wife and their 1 year old daughter). My husband and I stayed in the crofter and slept like babies. It’s completely separate from the house, but only a few steps away. The separation made it so nice because baby girl woke up earlier than we did, but any noise in the main house didn’t wake us up at all. Highly recommend the separate sleeping options that this place provides. It was truly a home away from home place to stay and had everything we needed and I can’t think of anything it didn’t have. Our son left his fishing rod in the garage by mistake, so I guess we’ll just need to schedule another trip back to retrieve it. As if we need an excuse 😜.

Catherine’s home was the perfect spot for a family vacation with 2 toddlers. Close enough to the most beautiful beach on the island to run back when we forgot something, or to take the bikes instead of a golf cart. Located in the thick jungle-like maritime forest, offering shade and peace in between beach trips. The back entrance of the house leads out onto a maze of boardwalk paths through the forest. Everything in the house worked as described, and Catherine generously arranged (and paid for) extra rental bikes for us when hers went missing. The house is well-equipped with games, beach toys, boogie boards, etc… We did not end up using the crofter, but fit 2 families of 3 comfortably in the main house. The turtle conservancy headquarters is around the corner- there is a sandwich and Italian ice window there. The shoals club down the street offers several dining options, 2 pools, and beach umbrella/chair service. Catherine was very responsive and helpful with the reservation and any issues that came up during our visit. Highly recommend - hope to be back in paradise soon!

This cottage was perfect for us! Cozy and quiet, but near enough to the beaches and club that it didn't feel remote. Everything was as described. I especially loved the daybed swing on the porch!

Clean, has everything we needed, appreciated the 2 golf carts so we could be flexible, great location, the boardwalk yard wasn’t as good for our toddler, having a bit of yard would have been nice. Beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed using all the cooking supplies great location near the beach but close to the Turtle Conservancy and not far from the Market. We made use of the beach tours and the bikes. Catherine was VERY good at communication before and during our stay. Loved it!

Great house. Quiet. Comfortable. Lots of beach toys and bicycles. Carts were in good shape (an issue renting other places on BHI). Highly recommend it.

The minute we opened the door to “GaGa’s Gift” we loved how warm and cozy it felt. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you need; the living room is very comfortable for curling up with a good book, BUT the best spot is the porch day bed! We spent hours with coffee in the morning and a cocktail in the evening. You’ll think you’re in a secluded forest with all the birds and squirrels! The main bedroom had quite literally one of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept on! Again, Catherine, our host, thought of everything to make staying in her home most enjoyable! We would highly recommend booking this property and look forward to staying again!

We loved our experience staying at Catherine’s home on Bald Head Island! The space worked out perfectly for my husband, our 2 year old son, and my in-laws. The kitchen had everything we needed and the two screened in porches were especially awesome. We enjoyed the location and easy access to the beach. Plus, the ability to explore the island using the golf carts and bikes. Catherine was excellent at communication throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a great place to relax on Bald Head Island.

We loved the location of this home, easy bike and/or cart ride to east beach, resort and the Turtle Conservatory. By the way had the best snacks! This home had everything we needed to make meals. The two screened in porches we spent a lot of time in. The property is the midst of trees and plants giving us shade and views of wildlife and singing birds. We had lots of fun exploring the island by golf carts and watching sunrises and sunsets from different beaches. Catherine and Brian were so helpful, friendly to us. It made our stay FANTASTIC
