A personal note from the owners....
Welcome to our little piece of heaven, Coastal Haven! We have been coming to the island for the last few years and wish we had found it sooner. We have four kids ages 22, 20, 16 and 13, three girls and boy. We live on Maryland's Eastern Shore and while we have ample beaches within a short drive from home, there is nothing like Bald Head Island.
This is the place where we can be fully present. It is unlike anywhere we have ever experienced. There is something about no cars and being surrounded by nature that lets you take it all in. The forest and the beaches are countless and open for all to discover. When our kids get to the island they are gone before our bags hit the floor. They are off on bicycles and skateboards, running complimentary with no cares other than to discover and be kids. We spend our days playing on the beach, looking for shells and riding the waves. Then we hit the pool for some afternoon fun, snacks and drinks before dinner, whether that's cooking at home, or appreciating one of the amazing options on the island. We appreciate Mojo's sushi, cooking fresh salmon from the market, or a marvelous steak dinner at the BHI Club, to name a few. There are also happy hour evenings on the beach and if the winds are cooperating, even s'mores around a beach fire (with the proper permit of course!). We typically round out the evening with a very intense game of Uno around the dining room table.
There is usually a daily trip to the market for one thing or another, from breakfast at the cafe, to restocking our food supply, and even great wine tastings. With three daughters, the stores are a regular stop - each has its own style and full of great souvenirs to take home. Mike's Bites is usually a daily visit too, whether it's for boxed lunches or his one-of-a-kind frozen ice, it's the ideal cool treat on a hot day.
There is the weekly Turtle Trot 5k, which is open to everybody and benefits the Conservancy (plus you get a great t-shirt for participating). We follow all of the turtle nest hatchings and excavations, which is an marvelous opportunity for all ages to experience nature firsthand. It has given our kids the gift of appreciating the efforts of the Conservancy and respecting nature through hands-on experiences. There are bird outings, kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding, fishing and even nighttime rides to monitor the sea turtle nests with the interns. There are countless activities through the BHI Club as well, from kids' camps, to family games and holiday special events. After all of this activity, don't forget there is a full-service spa to pamper you, too!
Over time, we have created our own cherished rituals, like getting up early to watch the sunrise on East Beach, adopting turtle nests and looking for the elusive intact sand dollar on our beachcombing expeditions. There is the peaceful time too - at the home, sitting in the open air, on a porch or a deck, feeling the breeze and listening to nothing but nature. This is what vacation should be about. This place offers everybody the opportunity to unplug and relax from the chaos and noise of every day life. This time with our family is priceless. The memories are countless and the days go by in a blur of bliss. In a world where we go so fast, here we savor every moment of taking it slow. We are so thankful to have this modest piece of the island and we want our guests to appreciate it as much as we do.
This is our vacation home, and we have taken great care to make it yours, too. We have rented countless beach properties here and elsewhere over the years, so we are resident experts (with very high standards) on what makes for a comfortable, clean and exceptional beach vacation property. As a Coastal Living Designer Network Member, this is my specialty. Everything in this home is brand new and we hope the furnishings and finishes will set it apart from anything you have experienced. We have tried to incorporate all of the details and amenities that we enjoy into this home, down to even the smallest visitors. As parents of four, we know what it's like to haul all of the 'stuff,' so we have tried to minimize that for our guests.
This home is ideal for families of all sizes, multiple families, friends, couples, girlfriends' getaways, guys' trips, graduations and weddings to name just a few! It is unique with its attached, but separate guest home, as well as the central location to everything on the island. There are plenty of spaces to be together, or find some peaceful time alone. The exceptional grove of palm trees surrounding the home is nothing short of good for the soul and we hope you will leave counting the days until you return!
