Purchased in June 2020 and modernized during the fall and winter of 2020, this roomy beach hideaway is brand new to the rental market and features the amenities of home with vistas of the ocean. The home is appealingly located close to the beach, clubs and shopping. It is completely refurnished and professionally decorated with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths.
This home is the ideal place for one or two families or a group of friends to savor a memorable vacation together. It has charming ocean vistas from the kitchen, huge front deck and upstairs king suite -- ideal for watching the sunset, moonrise and for impressive evening stargazing. The huge, vaulted-ceiling living room and newly upgraded nook offer ample seating and entertainment options. Appreciate dinner out on a third private newly remodeled back deck.
"FerryTale Retreat" has been professionally decorated in calming shades of sea blue and grays to help maximize relaxation and bring the handsome Bald Head Island beach inside.
The home features four bedrooms, three full baths and sleeps up to ten guests. The main bedroom suite has a king bed and flat screen tv, as well as an ensuite bathroom, a sitting area with a couch and desk and private deck with amazing vistas.
The second primary bedroom has a queen bed, flat-screen TV, an ensuite bathroom and is tucked away in the peaceful back of the home. This room also features deck access.
Another guest room has a queen bed and deck access and the fourth bedroom offers a bunk bed as well as a daybed with trundle. Closets include hangers and there are laundry baskets for your convenience.

A full-sized washer and dryer are in a sizable pantry off the kitchen. A high chair and pack & play are located in the pantry along with an iron, ironing board and drying rack.

"FerryTale Retreat" is located right off of South Beach Wynd and is convenient to all the island attractions. There is plenty to do on the island - casual-to-charming dining, multiple clothing/gift stores, camps, and education programs, etc. There is a full-service grocery store, ice cream shop and take-out pizza. Fishing, kayaking, surf lessons, scavenger hunts, and sightseeing charters are available.
Once you visit, we think you will adore "FerryTale Retreat" as much as we do!
Date of Stay - April 2021
5 stars! We appreciated the home! It was extremely well organized and decorated. You can tell the owners spent tons of time providing everything you could need. We really liked the beach paintings. We found that the location is ideal, near the beach, the golf course, market, and marina.
N. Edmunds -. 5 STARS
Ferrytale Retreat has all the details covered—and what’s more important than the details? High-end appliances, super-well-appointed kitchen, impeccable décor, a Weber grille, opulent memory foam beds, two great golf carts (but only blocks from a beach access). Great open spaces and comfortable bedrooms—just a phenomenal place to cool down and mix a margarita after a day in the sun. Highest recommendation here.
