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. Bald Head Island Club- https://www.bhiclub.net/guest-memberships (this one is completed online) Shoals Club- https://shoalsclub.com/documents/10180/1332699/2021+Temp+Member+Form (this one you will print, complete and send to us for signature before submitting to Shoals Club) 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. www.shoalsclub.com, bhiclub.net, bhic.org 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.
