Oceanfront Retreat in Maritime Forest w/ Private Beach Walk, Old Baldy View, Dog Friendly + BHI Club

Home was as described-simple, clean, well furnished and supplied. Plenty of beach towels and beach chairs. View from upper deck was perfect for sunsets and ship watching and the binoculars were a great addition. . We were blessed to see dolphins swim closely by the shoreline a few times. Be prepared to climb stairs to the kitchen with your supplies. Communication was great throughout our stay.

Old Baldy did not disappoint. The location was perfect. Shops, restaurants, historical attractions and other beach locations were only a short drive away via golf cart. The house was clean, inviting and very comfortable. We enjoyed the views from the balcony, especially the sunsets. My husband fished from the beach and my daughters and I collected sea shells and relaxed in the beach chairs provided. The check-in/out process was easy and communication with the property manager was excellent. My family and I will most definitely return to Old Baldy again soon!!

The house is beautiful with easy access to the beach and marina. The golf cart made it easy to get anywhere we wanted to go.

This was our first time at Bald Head Island. It was a couples trip. The process of getting to and returning from the island was easy and seamless. Doc House was a nice place well furnished and very comfortable overlooking the water. I would have liked to see more from the house but the bushes and trees were high. This was different than other houses around us which had clearer views. The location was good, near the marina and lighthouse. The golf cart worked great and we were able to see all parts of the island. Lack of seafood on the island was surprising. I would have loved to eat crabs or lobster while there. Didn’t have much luck catching crab either. It was a great experience and all of us were very relaxed. Definitely worth the trip.

We had a wonderful stay at the Doc House with three couples. The home has everything you need to relax, cook, explore the island, and enjoy the stunning views and beautiful beaches. Our host was professional and accommodated a special request, which we truly appreciated. We would definitely stay again!

The entire house was wonderfully cared for the amenities wereVery enjoyable. The bikes , with tire pumps, The Golf cart , beach chairs, towels, outdoor shower, stocked kitchen, outdoor seating. Everything provided was helpful.The website was spot on accurate and it was just a joy being right on the beach.

My wife and I loved our stay at the Doc House. It was great that the house was so close to the marina, which made it convenient to get to, and also, you didn't feel like you were so far away from everything. The house is right on the bay side of the islan,d but if you want to see the ocean side, it's just a short walk or cart ride. The house gets lots of light, which is great - though admittedly I do wish the master bedroom had blackout curtains as the room gets very bright early in the AM, which made it difficult to sleep in - not a problem though as we felt well rested. Overall, I would book again - the staff are great and accommodating.

Great location and all amenities were available as described. Also, the communication with our hosts was very timely and responsive. We really only had 2 issues during our stay:1. There is a persistent wet dog smell in the front bedroom. 2. The floors had not been sufficiently cleaned. Other than that we loved our vacation time and our stay on Bald Head Island.

Wonderful setting and view of the ocean while having coffee and dinner. Very private surroundings and actually you could walk down the beach to the ferry, if light luggage. Will come back to Bald Head!

Great location and accommodations for our niece’s wedding. Beautiful view, clean , and had clear instructions regarding use of the amenities. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!

Perfect place for a few days of catching up. Each sibling had their own room. The upstairs was a great place to play cards, listen to music, watch the Pacers and sit out on the porch to watch the activity on Cape Fear River and sunsets. The golf cart was fully charged and a great way to explore the island. We also rented bikes and explored the island one day. Beach access was perfect. We were able to walk the beach, sit at the beach to watch sunsets and fish off the beach. We didn’t buy a guest membership to the club, so restaurant options were limited. Jules, Jailhouse Provisions & Copper’s Pizza were our go-to’s.

Nice property, we really enjoyed our stay. We had a great time watching sunsets from the upper deck, and having private access to the beach was a plus. We had a blast and can’t wait to go back!

Great location near the marina with access to all the spots on BHI. House was set up well for dining and hanging out upstairs then sleeping downstairs.

The view of the sunsets and the ships plying the Cape Fear River was wonderful. The kitchen is a bit small and oddly laid out. The stairs were a bit challenging for those of us, all in our 80s. The warnings and instructions posted on every wall were excessive - it certainly didn't contribute to a feeling of welcome when warned of penalties if we did or did not do something. We attributed the signs to some previous guests who had misused the house, but were ALL those signs really necessary? We've stayed in dozens of other houses on Bald Head Island and never experienced so much scolding! A six-passenger golf cart was difficult to maneuver when all 6 were on board. Two golf carts would be much better and allow for more flexibility.

Such a cute house with a lovely deck and upstairs great room and amazing location right off the dunes. The pictures really don't do justice.
