Welcome to ’’Weekend at Benny’s" (formerly Little Coots,)’ a SUNNY 4BR/3BA coastal cottage located on a quiet cul-de-sac just a short walk to South Beach at access #18! Walls of windows bathe the open floor plan in natural sunlight all day long. A master king suite and a queen guest suite are on the first floor. The master suite has access to the rear deck. Upstairs are two more bedrooms that share a bath and ocean views from the side bedroom! A spacious living room, dining room and kitchen all feed onto two open decks which are the perfect spots to soak up the sun or watch golfers tee off on #17 and the sunset glow.
The open floor plan in the Kitchen/Dining/Living allows everyone to socialize in the fully stocked kitchen with open access to the deck for great outdoor living. Benny’s is on Coots Court - a private road in the desirable South Beach location - a prime location on Bald Head Island with just steps to a beach access. Very close to everything - the BHI club, restaurants, shops and the marina Head Island Club. The home is also well situated with a large open area in front for the children to play at the end of the cul-de-sac.
For the ultimate fun when beach time is done, the ground level of this classic beach cottage is the ultimate escape - a private sitting area with hammocks for relaxing and a game area with a pool table, and a ping pong table when you’re ready for the family games to begin.
A very short bike or cart ride gets 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.
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.
This house comes with three 4-passenger golf carts, beach bikes, beach chairs, boogie boards and an abundance of beach toys, and an umbrella. Please bring your own helmets. Additional bikes can also be rented at Riverside Adventure. Please note that while we guarantee the availability and condition of the golf carts, we cannot guarantee the condition of the bikes.
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.
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.

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.
