Nestled in the Maritime Forest of Bald Head Island surrounded by lush Palms and ancient Live Oaks you will find this fully renovated, newly furnished home featuring a bunk room and plenty of space to make memories. Its central location, just minutes on a bike or golf cart to the market, beaches, BHI Club and marina makes it perfect to explore all the island has to offer.

You can hear the waves crashing as you sit on the large front porch that stretches across the front of the home while taking in the view of the Palm trees and relaxing with your loved ones. From both the front door and the screened porch you enter the main living area with plenty of natural light coming from the 2 story living room which flows into the large eat in dining area with a built in bench and a new, fully stocked gourmet kitchen. There is one bedroom and full bathroom downstairs, and 2 more bedrooms with their own full bathrooms upstairs as well as a laundry room.

Additional amenities include: 1 newer four seater golf carts and 1 newer six seater golf cart both which have new(2025) lithium batteries that charge fast and run longer than regular lead acid batteries, 6 beach chairs, 8 bikes, 1 baby seat for bike and 1 third wheel, sand toys, pack n play and a baby chair(wooden without a tray). There is also both a Kurig and regular coffee makers. This home has been professionally decorated and the owner is mother of six children so it is fully stocked for families with toys and games for all ages.

Our home has the option of the Bald Head Island Club house membership which allows you access to GOLF, all of the pools, playgrounds, and all 3 restaurants! This is purchased by you directly through the club for an additional fee. This is the pool.

We purchased this home in 2020 and have completely renovated and newly furnished each space in the home to bring beauty and tranquility to your vacation. All linens are professionally serviced and provided with your stay and there are new luxury hybrid mattresses in each bedroom. We are excited to share our love of Bald Head Island and especially our special place on the island with you!

A personal note from the owners:

Welcome to our little piece of Paradise, Palm Paradise! We live in Apex, North Carolina just outside of Raleigh and we have six children ages 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 and 5, three boys and three girls. We have been coming to Bald Head Island for the past 8 years. We are so grateful that we found Bald Head Island when our children were small. They have had the chance to grow up coming here, there is no other place like Bald Head Island. It is a very special place for us.

When we step onto the Ferry we leave behind the chaos of our daily lives and Bald Head Island is a place we can be fully present. There is something special about having no cars and being fully immersed in nature that allows you to breath and just be. As soon as we arrive our children are off on their own exploring on their bikes and enjoying freedom to be kids in nature. We spend our days at the beaches playing games, surfing and making sand castles, then we head over to the club and spend late afternoons playing in the pool, playground and sunbathing while grabbing some pre dinner snacks. We usually have something in the crockpot or eat dinner at one of the restaurants at the club or marina. We round out our evenings with family games around the dining room table or we all sit on the huge sectional and watch a movie together.

There's always a trip or two to the market and shopping is a regular stop for the girls at the four clothing shops, of which thier favorite is Island Passage. The ice cream stops are a daily bike ride for us all! My kids favorite is the loco pops at the marina while we watch the yachts roll in and out. The kids usually pair off and go on their own for these adventures. We often go watch the sunsets together and the teenagers love these Instagram photos!

There is the weekly Turtle Trot 5k, which is open to everyone and benefits the Conservancy (plus you get a great t-shirt for participating). You can follow all of the turtle nest hatchings and excavations, which is an incredible opportunity for all ages to experience nature firsthand. There are bird outings, kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding, fishing and even night 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 the years we have created our rhythms of activities we do on the island, as well as quiet time too. We spent time on the porch listening to the waves and watching the sunsets. Our little ones love to climb the ancient oaks surrounding the house. This time with our family is priceless. When we are on the island time goes slower and is more intentional. We are so grateful to have this small part of the island as our own and are excited to share it with you.

This is our vacation home, and we have prepared it to make it yours as well. We have rented many homes on the island, and have learned what we believe a great vacation home should have. We have worked hard to ensure our home has all the luxuries that we would want in an exceptional beach vacation home. As a parent of 6 I would know what it’s like to haul all the stuff this sized family would need for a successful beach vacation and I have tried to minimize this for our guests.

    The house was beautiful and the host was very quick to respond. Overall we had a great stay, I'm only putting 4 stars instead of 5 because the smallest kids bike was unusable. My nine year old was sad he couldn't ride bikes, but we made the best of it. We would definitely stay here again.

    Our family had a wonderful October stay! The cottage was absolutely beautiful and Melanie was a wonderful host! We were so impressed with the space, comfortable & beautiful rooms, the nature surrounding the cottage and all the great touches that made us feel welcome and at home! We also really enjoyed the convenience of being able to use the 2 golf carts! We loved hopping in a golf cart and driving to all the different beach accesses, restaurants, the lighthouse, market, BHI club, marina and just exploring the island! We loved seeing all the deer and beautiful birds too! We did not want to leave and looking forward to returning!

    On the island for a wedding and Palm Paradise was the perfect location. Everyone had their own space and the bathrooms were spacious and clean.

    We had a wonderful stay at Palm Paradise. The home was clean and perfect for our group of 4 people dogs. This was our first visit to BHI, and even though the weather started out chilly, it quickly warmed and we were able to take advantage of the outdoor activities. The beach was just gorgeous, and we loved being there when it wasn’t crowded. Early March is hit or miss with restaurant hours and even being open, but we adjusted and ate more meals at the house. The beds were super comfortable, and we loved the porch.

    We stayed at Palm Paradise for Mother’s Day with our two kids and in-laws. The house was spacious for all and beyond our expectations! Its location is close to shops and the beach and nestled in the woodsier part of the island. Melanie was very responsive and the check in and check out instructions were clear so that we got in and out easily. We will definitely come back and stay for future trips to BHI!

    The house is light and open. Well appointed. The screen porch was awesome -lovely breeze and a variety of seating. My bed was very comfortable and the bedroom windows looked out into the trees, which are amazing. The kitchen was cheerful with plenty of bar stools for chatting with the cook. The location is convenient to the marina, the beach and the market. It was just 2 of us so we didn't need all the bedrooms. We stayed 3 nights so we didnt need the laundry but it was very well organized. We tried out both golf carts and 2 of the bikes, all great. We could ride bikes to the beach or the marina, easy peasy. Melanie is a great host. We knew if we needed her help (we didn't) that she would respond very quickly because we had exchanged a few messages while setting up our reservations. She was kind and patient with our schedule changes and replied quickly and enthusiastically. She loves Bald Head Island and wants to be sure her guest enjoy their stay. It really is a Palm Paradise.

    Updated and spacious house that was perfect for our family. The location is in a private and quiet area and only minutes to the beach, shops, and activities on the island. Lots of games for the family to enjoy our time together, especially out on the beautiful 3 season room. Melanie was a welcoming and responsive host. Highly recommend!
