About this Property

  • 3 Bedrooms
  • 3 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home

Stroll to Shoals is ideally located near the beach but tucked away in the forest at Sumner's Crescent in Cape Fear Station near the Conservancy, Captain Charlie’s, and the Shoals. Appreciate listening to the ocean waves and taking calming strolls to East Beach for sunrise and South Beach for sunset.

Located among 300-year-old striking live oak trees, the home sits off the street and is very private yet close to the main community and park. Upon arrival, cross an inviting bridge-like boardwalk with a huge deck area to access this home. Then settle in to relax on one of numerous decks or the screened porch and take in the natural beauty of the island.

An open living space, kitchen, dining area and half bath are located upstairs with lofted ceilings and broad window vistas of the treetops. Savor coffee, beverages or a good book on the upstairs deck while watching birds and listening to the sounds of the ocean.

A reverse floor plan with bedrooms on the first floor of the main home includes a primary bedroom suite with queen bed and full bath. The kid-friendly guest room offers two twin beds, a daybed with trundle and full bathroom with bathtub. Both bedrooms open onto a enormous screened porch and private outdoor seating area.

Adjacent to the main home is a comfortable crofter with a queen bed, full bath, mini-refrigerator, coffee or tea station, and a balcony located in the trees.

The home has two 4-passenger golf carts. An outdoor shower and gas grille are located off of the huge deck area between the main home and the crofter.

Temporary memberships for guests of this property are available for additional costs at Bald Head Island Club (with golf option) and/or Shoals Club. Both clubs require advance registration forms and costs for temporary membership. Inquire at time of booking for details about the club options, amenities, etc.

Two outdoor video cameras monitor the exterior of the home. Footage remains private and in no way infringes upon the expectation of privacy in these public areas.

A $300 non-returnable pet fee is required if a dog is included Quotes from some of our guests:

"What a marvelous beach home! Our family appreciated the secluded spot tucked into the trees yet so close to the Shoals Club and Mike’s Bites.

"We have never been to Bald Head Island, but were intrigued by what it had to offer. His home had everything we didn’t know we needed.

We look forward to returning in the future!" The M family April 2022


"Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! This was a last min. trip that we desperately needed and it was ideal. Your home is so comfortable, so well located - we appreciate being amidst the forest yet so close to the beach! Can’t wait to come back again." G-H family August 2021

Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental value:

  • In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
  • Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
  • Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the perfect vacation home:

  • Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a spending budget.
  • Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Quiet, Wooded Sanctuary - Near Sunrise and Sunset Beaches - Dog Friendly has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
  • If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
  • Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
  • Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

  • Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
  • Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
  • During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.

The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars.

We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
