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.

Carolina Moonshine is a Gem!
My husband and I stayed at Carolina Moonshine for 3 nights in early September. This is a 5+ star property! Tiny but with everything you may need - the owner has thought of everything. Location at the marina is great and a sunset view too. The golf cart provided is a great way to explore the island. Beach chairs and beach towels are provided. Communication with the owner is great. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return!

Always a great stay
This is our 2nd time staying at this property at BHI.This is the perfect location for us next to the marina. After long days of boating/fishing, we enjoy coming back to the incredibly comfortable bed! Bonus to have a golf cart and pay for access to the club which we utilized both. Hugh is a very responsive owner. There are plenty of fresh towels, coffee and even beach chairs for use. Thanks again!

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!

Wonderful Marina Cottage
A lovely cottage! The bed, linens, towels all were of excellent quality. The kitchen well stocked for light cooking. Small details such as seat cushions for the deck bench and chairs/umbrella all were appreciated. The small deck was mostly shaded during this time of year which was so nice for sitting outside at various times of the day enjoying the peaceful marina. Hugh responded very quickly (and with humor!) when needed! A wonderful experience!

Carolina Moonshine @ BHI
From the moment I stepped onto the property, I was greeted by a stunning view of the harbor and the charming coastal atmosphere that enveloped the area. outdoor spaces that truly stole the show. The location of the property overlooking the harbor was the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the serene surroundings. You can spend countless hours watching the boats go by and marveling at the beauty of the sunset painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The location couldn't have been better for exploring all that Bald Head Island has to offer. One of the highlights of my stay was the sense of peace and tranquility that permeated the air. It was a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing me to truly unwind and recharge. I can't recommend Carolina Moonshine @ BHI highly enough. It's the perfect destination for anyone seeking a coastal retreat with unparalleled views and endless opportunities for adventure. Many thanks to the hosts for providing such a wonderful experience!

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!

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.

Perfect!
My husband and I were in town over NYE's weekend for a dear friend's wedding. This location right at the Marina was perfect! It's so close to the ferry that you don't have to worry about a tram service - it's just a quick little walk. We also had dinner at Jules the first night, and that was also within walking distance. The golf cart that's included with the rental came in handy the rest of the weekend, getting to and from all of the wedding festivities. In addition to the location being perfect, the bed, pillows, and linens were so comfy we found it hard to get out of bed! It exceeded expectations on all levels - including our gracious host.
