Carolina Moonshine @ BHI !!Sparkle & Shine On @ BHI Marina

Carolina Moonshine @ BHI is the best in the Marina! This shingled cottage rimming the Bald Head Island Marina with south-facing porch provides breathtaking waterfront views of marina, harbor, ferry terminal, & river. The sunrises & sunsets over the water make it spectacular!!! The harbor location makes it the center of Island activities summer, winter, spring or fall!
Carolina Moonshine is within walking distance to all the restaurants, bars, coffee & ice cream shops. It is convenient to Old Baldy Lighthouse & Smith Island Museum and the Village Chapel & Post Office. Take advantage of Moon Shine's location with access to three Beach Accesses directly from the harbor. The island beach accesses are for everyone. You may enjoy visiting the South & East Beaches too, but you have your own here in the harbor. From here you can go island cruising through the maritime forest or take the beach route called Bald Head Wynd on our 2 passenger golf cart to the beach, the market, the clubs, or conservancy. You can rent bikes, sailboats, kayaks, or stand up paddle boards to tour the island, too.
Carolina Moon Shine's spacious one bedroom has new Pottery Barn Linen King Bed with Westin Heavenly Mattress topped by luxurious linens and down filled duvet and pillows. Seating area includes two upholstered chairs and mirrored table for morning coffee or just looking out over the water. Accessories are tastefully appointed with mindfulness to your comfort. Separate kitchenette is fully furnished with 2 burner cooktop, mini refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, fully stocked china and cook wear. Maritime Market has everything for your gourmet tastes! No need to pack much as it's all available on the island! Adjoining full tiled bath with glassed-in shower includes necessities, towels and hairdryer.
South facing porch with teak chairs & table encompass all marina views from ferry dock to yachts to restaurants and lighthouse. A beautiful place to have your favorite drink. Conveniently located close to beach and salt marsh creek accesses and all water activities.
Be sure to ask about the optional Bald Head Island Club Lifestyle membership available for golf, tennis, swimming, croquet & fine dining. Boutique shopping and spa facilities are located on island. We must arrange the Temp Membership for an additional fee and it cannot be completed on The Club's website.

Great long weekend

The views are spectacular…west side of the island so you get the sunset. The location is great and the golf cart provided is critical. I would definitely get the club membership for the pool (and tennis/golf). The place is renovated and very clean. Highly recommend!

Great Island Cottage!!

We loved this gorgeous home! My husband and I drove our boat and rented a slip- since this home is right on the marina- we could keep an eye on our boat from the house. Great location, golf cart a huge plus. Property owner was helpful and easy to work with. 10/10, great stay!

Great location

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend getaway. The location is very convienent to the ferry and local shops/restaurants. The golf cart could use some maintenance, especially on the brakes but it was functional for what we needed. Overall, a nice relaxing weekend - we would recommend.
