The Defense Rests at Bald Head Island

The Defense Rests at Bald Head Island Vacation at Bald Head Island in our beautiful home with panoramic ocean views. 4 BR home with crofter sleeps 10; includes golf carts.

No agency or VRBO fees - Rent by owner at BHI. Located in the high dunes of South Beach with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, this home enjoys ocean views from the front, and backs up to the protected maritime forest in the back. With four different porches with four different views, you will hardly want to come inside. But indoors, the home, purchased in 2020, underwent a full interior reno

vation by Sarah Scott Designs in 2021. The home is just a short walk to the beach, and a golf cart ride to 16 other unspoiled beaches, preserved maritime forests and marsh hiking trails. Our home sleeps 10 adults in four bedrooms (one in a private crofter), and a fifth game room/office with a pull out sofa, and has five full bathrooms. Your rental includes two golf carts-- a four-seater and a six-seater. When you board the ferry for the 20-minute ride to Bald Head Island, you leave your car behind, along with the stress of the mainland world. Transportation here is limited to golf carts, bikes, or your own two feet… resulting in a more relaxed, easy-going pace. Stroll 14 miles of pristine beaches, try your luck on the acclaimed seaside golf course, eat at fabulous restaurants, or climb a 200 year old lighthouse. It is a place like no other, and we hope you will soon be our guests.

We have 4 summer weeks left!

Beaches vacations are meant for relaxing, but during peak season it can be hard to find your quiet amongst the crowds. These five secret Southern beaches are the kinds of places that locals love but would rather keep to themselves.

Our 2025 calendar is open and we have a few weeks left! We’ve added a second King suite for this season, redecorated the crofter suite, redone our front deck (the most amazing views on island remain unchanged),  and painted the entire exterior to a new swoon-worthy blue grey.  We can’t wait to host you and your family this summer. Www.defenserestsatbhi.com
