'Playing the BHI Club course, you will fall in love with the beauty of the island as you weave your way through around 15 freshwater lagoons, through a maritime forest.

Bald Head Island is only accessible by boat or by a ferry, which departs frequently out of Southport, NC. Southport is 40 minutes from the Wilmington, NC (ILM) airport. A tram ride to the villa is included with your ferry ticket. Reservations are required. Visitors and residents travel around the island by golf cart, bike or by foot.

We have a professional property manager who lives full time on the island to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. They will be able to help with any concerns once you arrive.

Climb to the top of “Old Baldy,” which is the oldest lighthouse on the East coast. It was built in 1817 and originally commissioned by Thomas Jefferson. Hike and wind your way around live oaks hundreds of years old and through the nature paths that Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers used in the ancient Maritime Forest. An upscale grocery market, spa, and shopping area is a short golf cart ride away. Discover the Bald Head Island Conservancy at the end of South Beach, where you can learn about the island’s wildlife. Sign up for classes, including the popular evening “turtle walks” to search for and observe nesting Loggerhead Turtles and if your timing is right even watch their hatchlings heading to the ocean for the first time!

Bald Head Island is on one of North Carolina's southernmost cape islands - Cape Fear. With no cars and no crowds, Bald Head Island preserves the natural beauty and stress-free lifestyle of a simpler time. The island is blessed with 14 miles of pristine beaches, thousands of acres of protected salt marshes, and a spectacular expanse of maritime forest.

    Location great. House fine. Fridge leaked freezer side. Some areas could have been cleaner- couch cushions, under couch/beds, showers had some moldy spots. 4 seater golf cart wobbly. A second fridge would be nice as hard to store drinks with food for house this size. Very timely response to questions and concerns. Several visits to manage hot tub- much appreciated.

    Sweet Caroline is in a great location - easy access to the beach, short rides to the market and the BHI Club, as well as to the marina area and Old Baldy.The kids pool at BHI Club was a big hit with our grandson as was the morning walks on the beach. The house accommodations were perfect for our family and having access to both golf carts worked out perfectly for us.It was a great week long vacation.

    Wonderful. Winderful. Small irritants - toilets running & not so easy to drive bigger golf cart and a narrow front entrance which doesn't accommodate the entrance/exit of 2 golf carts.

    We have stayed at many VRBOs, but this stay was the best. Tyler was an outstanding host and treated us with first class service. This VRBO was great and exactly as described. We would definitely visit this VRBO again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sweet Caroline exceeded our expectations! We’ve stayed in dozens of homes since we first visited in 1995- including my wedding in 1996 & family reunions every other year since then! Sweet Caroline is our new fav house- amble room for multiple families, great living space, multiple decks offered great views and quiet get-seats, fully stocked kitchen to accommodate our dining with 39 family members. Short walk to the beach & plenty of chairs and umbrellas for a fun & full day at the beach! Excellent vacation & comfy home to relax, recharge and reconnect with family.

    House is directly across the street from beach access and surrounded by trees for privacy. We loved the layout and the kitchen was well stocked with many appliances. Lots of room to be together and also to be by yourself. Great location and management team was exceptional in helping us with anything that came up.
