To get around the island, you will have two 4 seat golf carts. If you would prefer to ride around the island on bike, there are four adult bikes for your use. Need other or different sizes - you can reserve/rent from Riverside Adventure at the Marina. Although we guarantee the use of the golf carts, we cannot guarantee the condition of the bikes during your stay. We will make every attempt to repair but it may not be possible during your visit.
We have a professional property manager who lives full time on the island to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
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.
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!

The conservancy offers guided tours, educational programs, and the chance to see local wildlife, including sea turtles that nest on the beaches during the summer months.
The island's maritime forest is another natural treasure, with a network of trails that wind through a canopy of live oaks, sabal palms, and dogwoods. Hikers and bird watchers will find these paths a peaceful haven for observing the island's flora and fauna.
Golfers can enjoy the Bald Head Island Club's championship golf course, which is renowned for its beauty and challenging play. The course meanders through dunes, marshes, and woodlands, providing a memorable golfing experience.
For dining and shopping, visitors can explore the quaint Harbour Village, where a selection of restaurants offer fresh seafood and local cuisine. The village's shops provide a range of goods from artisan crafts to beach essentials.
