Please note that "Sea La Vie" is a duplex with "La Dolce Vita". They do not share any common areas or entrances, and are each completely private. They share a common wall that divides the two homes. If you need more space, please inquire about booking both homes together!
“Sea La Vie” is the perfect seaside getaway with stunning oceanfront views and restricted public access to the pristine beach. Completely remodeled with new furnishings, new beds and top-quality mattresses in every room, this comfortable and inviting home is nestled in the highly desirable Flora’s Bluff neighborhood, with a private boardwalk that is just 100 steps to the gorgeous sand on Bald Head Island’s timeless South Beach.
As you walk into the home, you will be greeted by the open great room surrounded by new windows with sunlight streaming in. The fully stocked gourmet kitchen boasts granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances to allow the chef in your family to cook up memorable meals served on the breakfast bar. The dining area seats 10 and is perfect for special meals and entertaining. All this and more leads to the private front porch to take in the sun and serenity of this peaceful, ideal island location.
The second floor features a sun-filled luxurious master bedroom with new king mattress and a brand new, private bathroom. The open, second-floor porch off the master bedroom offers expansive oceanfront views and there’s ample room for reading, relaxing, cocktail hours or just gazing at the rolling surf from all new porch furniture. This just may become your secret retreat for early morning coffee and lazy sunset toasts to the day enjoyed. The second bedroom on this level features a queen bed for your comfort and another completely new private bath. Every bedroom in the home has new mattresses, box springs, pillows, bed linens and frames. The house features TWO new full baths and TWO new half baths.
Head up one more level to discover a wonderful retreat with a full bed, two single beds and a loft bed, as well as a new half bath. This unique level has amazing ocean views too, and this large room is quite inviting and peaceful.
Families, friend, and travelers can relax here in comfort, style and safety. There is a private, fenced patio area for grilling, dining and for providing a play area for children—and a nearby outdoor shower. There is a brand new six-seat golf cart for your use in exploring this beautiful island and you can tour the island in real style. There are also two new (2023) adult bikes - we try hard to keep them in great condition but although we guarantee the availability and condition of the golf cart, we cannot guarantee the condition of the bikes.
The owners will see that all your needs are accommodated and that your time spent in this home will be memorable. Our fulltime, on island home manager will go the extra mile to help guests feel special and welcome. We know you will agree with our one request that outdoor shoes stay outdoor so that the gleaming floors will remain that way for all our guests.
Spend a week or more at “Sea La Vie” and we are quite sure we will see you again and again as you make this your home away from home. Welcome to Bald Head Island.

About the area
Bald Head Island, North Carolina, is a serene and exclusive retreat known for its pristine beaches, lush maritime forests, and leisurely pace of life. Accessible only by ferry from the nearby town of Southport, this car-free island offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where golf carts and bicycles are the primary modes of transportation.
Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by the sight of the historic Bald Head Island Lighthouse, affectionately known as "Old Baldy." As the oldest standing lighthouse in North Carolina, it provides a glimpse into the island's past and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area for those willing to climb to the top.
The island's beaches are a major draw, with 14 miles of sandy shores that invite sunbathing, swimming, and beachcombing. The South Beach area is particularly popular for its gentle waves and wide expanse of sand, making it ideal for families. For a more secluded experience, East Beach offers a quieter setting where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Cape Fear River.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the Bald Head Island Conservancy, a key player in the preservation of the island's diverse ecosystems. 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.
Accommodations on Bald Head Island range from cozy cottages to luxurious vacation homes, many of which offer stunning views of the ocean or maritime forest.
In essence, Bald Head Island is a hidden gem that offers a blend of relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty. It's a place where time slows down, and the simplicity of island living can be fully embraced, making it a perfect destination for those looking to unwind and reconnect with nature.
