Welcome to Mears Merritime on Bald Head Island!
About this house rental
BEST FEATURES! Centrally located on island! Great maritime forest views 2 Golf Carts Screened in porch We're the proud owners of Mears Merritime and are pleased to say we've been helping families make BHI vacation memories since 2005. Our vacation rental philosophy is quite simple really -- we think you should spend your money enjoying everything that Bald Head Island has to offer -- not paying for your vacation rental! This is why we are so committed to providing as well appointed accommodations as possible while at the same time keeping our rental fees as reasonable as possible. That means you enjoy the amenities you've come to expect...but at a price that will pleasantly surprise you! We simply don't believe there is a better value on the island, and we are absolutely committed to doing all we can to help you plan and enjoy your BHI experience! That means personal attention to you and all the details! Your ultimate vacation begins as soon as you board the ferry for Bald Head Island at Southport's ferry facilities. Now it's time to kick back and relax! The 20-minute ferry ride to the island fills you with the anticipation of knowing that for the next week or so, you're on 'Turtle Time'! For those of you who've been there - you know what we're talking about. For you first-timers, it's nothing like you've experienced before! Nature abounds around our comfortable, fully-furnished, 3-bedroom, 2-bath enchanted cottage home. Nestled in the sub-tropical maritime forest, amid the ancient live oaks and sabal palm trees, this charming family home is surrounded by a deck, with a screened-in crofter/gazebo attached. Our delightful cottage also features a garage, with 2-4 pass golf carts provided. Tooling around on the island in the cart (remember - the speed limit is 18 mph!) is half the fun of getting to your island destination! The decor and numerous amenities add to its charm, comfort, and ambiance. We've tried to think of every detail, from the numerous games and DVD/VCR movies on site to the wireless internet; from the Egyptian cotton sheets to the featherbed toppers in every room. The kitchen has been completely updated and provides the equipment that makes meal preparation a pleasure. Two newly remodeled bathrooms are equipped with features you'll love. It's the perfect setting for your family vacation - including your well-behaved dog! Enjoy the hustle and bustle of all the island has to offer during the day -- swimming, golf, tennis, kayaking, biking and hiking -- it's always nicer to return to your home in the quiet, secluded forest for a relaxing evening. Centrally located on Edward Teach Wynd, our home is just minutes away from the harbor area, 'Old Baldy', the chapel, creek access, golf course, both clubs and conveniently located near the Maritime Market, hardware store, spa and gift shops. It's less than a 3-minute golf cart ride to the beach! If you're into golf, tennis, or croquet, or just prefer lounging by the pool with a good book, temporary memberships at both the Bald Head Island Club and the Shoals Club are available to purchase for your use and enjoyment. Unlike a lot of rentals, you decide IF you want to go, WHERE you want to go, WHEN you want to go and for HOW LONG! Our memberships at both clubs provide you with the flexibility your family seeks in planning your ultimate vacation.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mears Merritime. Home was clean upon arrival. We had plenty of space for 5 people. Centrally located on the island and close to the market, shops and restaurants.

This is a beautiful home with everything a family could want. It is also located in the middle of the island-- a short distance from everything. Wonderful place for a vacation.

We have been coming to BHI for almost 20 years. This is our second time staying at Mears Maritime and it has become our favorite house. We especially love the screened outdoor porch. The only problem we had this week was one of the golf carts stopped working. the second day, however we still had the 6 seater cart so all was good🙂 Hope to see you Summer 2023!

Lovely, cool retreat a few minutes by cart from several beach accesses. Several great areas to lounge and congregate - gazebo, around dining room table, outdoor patio, or living room. We were 5 adults and never felt cramped or crowded.

We really enjoyed our stay! We were a group of two married couples and two 22 year old kids. We had plenty of room to spread out and all feel like we had our own space. The house was well appointed and we lacked for nothing. The book shelves in the living room were a great feature and were diverse enough that we all found a favorite. The game selection was fantastic so between the gazebo, games, books, and large dining table we didn't use the TV in the evening at all. The two golf carts were incredibly handy as 22 years old could do their thing while we couples could do ours. Highly recommend staying here!

We had an amazing 4th of July week at Mears Merritime! Clean and comfortable house. Very cozy and loved the books and dvds. Both golf carts worked great all week. Plenty of bikes and beach chairs all in working order. Very well maintained home. Great layout with the master down and 2 additional bedrooms upstairs. Nice location also. We prefer the Forest. Screened in porch was huge and so peaceful. My kids said they felt like the homeowners were “nice” because of the vibes and comfort of the home. Very welcoming. Beach towels were advertised, but not there. We called and within an hour a bagful of beach towels were dropped off at our doorstep. Well stocked kitchen with nice cookware. Comfortable beds. We had an awesome week!!

First time staying in the forest and we loved it! Convenient to all of our favorite spots on the island. House was clean, comfortable and cozy. Beds comfortable. Definitely a need for better closet space/storage in the master, as well as food storage in the kitchen. We would rent here again!

Mears Merritime is a very comfortable home, and has all the amenities needed for a week away from home. Centrally located, very easy access to the market, to the harbor and to the beach. The gazebo is a quiet place to escape and read or have a cup of coffee. We enjoyed our stay.

As usual the house was clean and quiet. This was our 5 th time staying in the house and everything was as we left it last year. We prefer the interior location rather than the beach houses for the privacy and the shade. Looking forward to getting back as soon as we can find the time. Mears is perfect for us

Convenient location. Property a bit overgrown. Inside clean and tidy. Located in the maritime forest on the inside of the island. ~5-10 min ride to the beach.

The Mears Merritime is a well-used home; but it served our purposes. All beaches were only a short golf-cart ride away; and we had easy access to all Bald Head Island amenities. We relaxed and enjoyed a true island paradise!

We’ve been to BHI several times and stayed in the forest. This house was okay and my least favorite. Things I wish I had known prior to arrival are: the golf cart does not have working seatbelts, the towels have holes in them, the house has cobwebs in almost every room. This is a pet friendly home and while we have a pet I don’t think I’ll stay in another pet friendly home. On the positive side, the house is well stocked and reasonably priced. I’d rather pay more for updated accommodations and two golf carts with working seatbelts.
