Doc House is a one-of-a-kind waterfront retreat, custom built to capture some of the most breathtaking views on Bald Head Island—while offering one of the island’s most convenient locations. From here, you can easily walk to the harbor, marina, Old Baldy Lighthouse, cafés, shops, and more.




Surrounded by protected maritime forest, this home offers both privacy and natural beauty, with towering trees, local wildlife, and peaceful surroundings. Inside, morethan 60 windows—many floor-to-ceiling—fill the space with natural light and showcase stunning views of the ocean, marsh, and forest.




Step outside to expansive decks or take your private beach boardwalk to the shore, where you can enjoy incredible sunsets. An outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off after a day at the beach.




Fresh linens and towels are included in the cleaning fee, and the home is dog-friendly for your four-legged family members. Guests also have the option to purchase a temporary Bald Head Island Club social membership for access to the pool and dining (fees apply).




With its unbeatable views, walkable location, and serene setting, Doc House offers a comfortable island escape.

    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!

    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.

    What an adventure! Our first time to Bald Head Island and our first time with our own dock to an amazing beach! So private. The sunsets and boat watching from the porch are beautiful!
