Savor both spectacular sunsets AND breathtaking sunrises from this five-bedroom/four-bath oceanfront retreat on Bald Head’s South Beach. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, Come Back Home, presents with a wraparound covered porch enticing you to stop, relax and breathe in salty breezes while relishing the gentle rustle of swaying palms. Linger here or take the few steps to the sand.
Inside, the first level’s open floor plan accommodates two living spaces. The first, anchored by a comfy sectional, would be perfect for snuggling or family movie nights. The second spotlights ocean vistas on two sides as well as entre to the covered beach-facing porch. The wainscoted dining area offers elegance and, through its French doors, another porch access. Enjoy eating either place or at the nearby breakfast bar. The well-stocked chef’s kitchen is equipped with stainless appliances, granite counters, a farm sink and is close to the ample laundry room. This level also houses two bedrooms. The first is a generous, bayed King Master with a large walk-in closet, beautifully appointed Master Bath ensuite, and amazing views inside as well as through its porch entry. The second main-floor bedroom, also proffering water views, is furnished with a Queen and a Twin and utilizes the hall Full Bath (with a very spacious tiled shower and granite vanity) just outside its door.
Upstairs, the natural light-filled landing holds a table and chairs-perfect for game-playing or doing a puzzle. Off this central space are three bedrooms. The first is another roomy King Master with a cove ceiling, and sizable ensuite housing a double marble vanity, a tiled shower with a bench, and armoire for hanging clothes. However, this suite’s best feature is its myriad of jaw-dropping long-range views-all the way to Frying Pan Shoals—and its doors to an oversize sun terrace. Next door, a cozy bedroom with a Full and a built-in desk also enjoys spectacular panoramas from inside and through its sundeck egress. It utilizes the convenient hall bath. The bunkroom houses four Twins and a Full (twin-over-twin + twin-over-full + trundle), offers a huge walk-in, sun terrace access and provides a private entrance to the hall bath.
The enclosed ground level features a spacious, private outdoor shower, bike and toy storage, a utility sink for fish or crab cleaning, and a “sand room” entry to dust off your sandy toes from the adjacent #21 Beach Walkover and help keep tracking on the coastal distressed-painted floors upstairs free to a minimum.
Centrally located on BHI, Come Back Home is only minutes from the clubs, shops, restaurants, and the Conservancy. The home offers optional memberships to both the BHI club and the Shoals club which are not included in the rental. We will be happy to assist with these memberships. The home does include one six passenger and one four passenger golf cart for you use, a selection of adult and kids bikes (condition not guaranteed) ample beach towels, chairs, toys and games, low country boil pot, hairdryers, iron, desk if you must work and a new gas grill. For your special beach vacation home away from home, get away to Come Back Home.

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.
