A very short cart ride takes you to the new BHI Club Aquatic Center which features 4 new tennis courts, a playground, short-grass recreational area, workout facility, multiple swimming pools and water slide, croquet course, casual and fine dining and, of course, the George Cobb designed, award winning 18-hole golf course. '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.

Perfect Week at Bald Head
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.

Wonderful!
A superior experience on every level! Sweet Caroline had everything we needed for our three small grandchildren (the child gate was a welcome surprise!); they even had a large dog crate (we had brought our own, never expecting that thoughtful addition!) The kitchen was well appointed with top quality pans, appliances, etc and plenty of everything needed for cooking in. When we had a password issue on one of the tv’s, Tyler was easy to reach and promptly came out to assess and correct the problem. Before the trip, all necessary info for ferry, tram and stay was sent to us in plenty of time to assimilate and ask any questions in a timely manner. Can’t say enough about the positives! Thank you so much to the owners of Sweet Caroline for allowing us to stay in their lovely home: we will be back again next year with our family for sure!

Everything was as expected and as described on the site. The walk to the beach was about 2 minutes and easy with children. The owner/manager was very responsive and helpful. The house is well equipped with kitchen items, beach items, bikes and lots of needed baby supplies. The living space is bright and comfortable. Sweet Caroline is at the top of our list for favorite houses we have rented on the island. Would rent again.

Wonderful House
We had a wonderful time staying at Sweet Caroline. The property manager was outstanding to work with. The house has a well stocked kitchen. The rest of the house had all of the amenities a large family would need, lots of sand toys and the golf carts were reliable. The hot tub was terrific~specially on the rainy day we had. We will definitely be back!

Cleanest beach house ever!
We couldn’t be happier with our stay on Bald Head Island! We absolutely fell in love with that little slice of heaven! Kim was a wonderful host, and this was truly the cleanest beach house we have ever stayed in! Minutes to the beach, easy golf cart ride to anything on the island. Adored visiting the Turtle Conservancy (become members) and the late night Turtle Walk was the experience of a lifetime - and my teen boys said it would have been worth it for the late night walk on the beach and star gazing even if we didn’t see a mama turtle!

Great stay for a large group!
We loved our stay at Sweet Caroline! Kim was so helpful and thoughtful leading up to and throughout our stay! The house is beautiful, updated, clean and great for a group! The kids loved the bunk room. Three 4-seater golf carts was super convenient. Lots of toys and chairs in the garage. The very nearby beach access is one of our favorites on BHI! We loved all the porches, especially the screened in porch for watching the sunsets in the evenings. Didn’t get a chance to try the hot tub. Lots of construction going on nearby in June 2022, but only really could hear it when outside/on porches. Would happily stay here again if we have the opportunity!

Beautiful home, well appointed and great location. It is clear that the owners take pride in their property. The house is extremely kid friendly and is very well stocked with all we needed. Great kitchen for us as we love to cook. Very comfortable bed rooms, great hot tub and the AC worked great as well. The porches became our favorite hangout spots and the views of the night sky are incredible. Cant wait to return!

Fantastic trip!
Kim's property is fantastic. It's in a great location on south beach with nice views, ocean breezes, and very easy access to the beach. The house was beautiful and comfortable - very clean and exactly as the listing describes. It was well appointed with many new and interesting books, games, kitchen supplies, etc... We especially enjoyed the poker chips and played family poker games many nights. Kim's golf carts and bikes were well maintained and great to explore the island. The best thing I can say is that Kim has thought of everything. Her preparation made our trip very enjoyable and relaxing. Kim was also great to communicate with -- check in and check out were a breeze.
