Bald Head Island · North Carolina
4 bedrooms on Bald Head Island. Protected ocean views, a private guest cottage, and a short bike ride to the beach. No cars — golf carts only.
24 Black Skimmer Trail
An island classic with the kind of authenticity that's getting hard to find — rich wood walls and vaulted ceilings, Andersen windows, and a new roof in 2020.
Seahouse sits on a quiet cul-de-sac at 24 Black Skimmer Trail, with protected Atlantic Ocean views kept open by neighboring Land Trust property. Expansive decks catch the sea breeze, and the beach is a short bike ride away.
The house's signature feature is the Crofter — a private guest cottage attached beside the front door, with its own entrance, bedroom, full bath, living room, and kitchenette. Perfect for grandparents, teens, or anyone who wants their own space within shouting distance.
Underneath it all, a covered lower level holds a hammock, golf cart parking, and beach gear storage. [TBD — anything else signature about the house]

Know before you go
Bald Head Island is reachable only by passenger ferry — that's the whole point. Here's how island life works.
The Bald Head Island ferry runs from Deep Point Marina in Southport, NC — about a 20-minute crossing. Park your car at the mainland terminal; from the moment you step off the ferry, you're on island time.
No private cars on the island. Golf cart, bike, or your feet. [TBD — is a golf cart included with the rental?]
Fourteen miles of wide, uncrowded beach — East, West, and South Beach. Sea turtles nest here in summer.
North Carolina's oldest standing lighthouse (1817) anchors the island. Climb the 108 steps for the best view around, then wander the maritime forest trails at its base.
Oceanfront golf at the Bald Head Island Club. Kayak the creeks, fish the surf, or bike the forest trails.
The village sits around the marina: seafood, ice cream, coffee, and an island market for provisions. [TBD — house-specific dining tips / grocery notes]
