The Surf Shack BHI; 2BR beach cottage on East Beach!

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway.
The Surf Shack at BHI is the best place for your family and friends to experience the magic of Bald Head Island. With 2 bedrooms each with their own bathroom, it is perfect for 2 couples or a family with children. Located in the tranquil neighborhood of Surfman's Walk, it is only a short bike ride or golf cart to East Beach or Shoals Club.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the porch, ride to the market for coffee, and spend your days at the beach.

We have a one year old so have outfitted the house to be well equipped for young families.

Kid features: 2 pack and plays, a large walk in closet that fits one of the pack and plays for baby/toddlers to sleep in (completely dark with outlets for monitors), Dohm sound machines in both rooms, a high chair, and an inflatable bath tub. We also have seatbelts on the golf cart for extra safety while driving around. Additionally, if you would like help in securing a babysitter for some days or nights during your time on the island, we are happy to provide a few resources to find those. We always love having the option of an adults night out and there are tons of sweet high school + college girls on the island with their family during the summer who love to babysit.

PETS: We do allow a maximum of one pet, no cats (dogs only) and must be small or medium size. Please note there will be a pet fee and pets are not allowed on the furniture.

SHOALS CLUB ACCESS. Info for temporary membership will be sent after booking.

We also provide a brand new 4 person golf cart. If you would like to rent an additional cart that can be done through Cary Cart Company on the island by visiting their website.

There are bikes and beach chairs for you to use while you are there. In addition, we have books, puzzles, games, and everything you should need for the duration of your stay to make it the perfect getaway.

Bikes: 5 Adult ** We DO NOT guarantee bikes, beach towels (please bring your own), beach umbrellas or beach gear. Note that sometimes bikes or beach gear has to be cycled out due to wear so these numbers could be different at different times.

Beach Chairs: 4

Crockpot: Yes!

WIFI: Spectrum highspeed internet

**Linens and bath towels are included in rental. Beach towels are not included so please bring your own!

**Please see club membership notes:

It is expected that the club memberships will sell out for summer dates and holidays, so we do encourage you to make arrangements with the clubs as soon as you book your rental. All club memberships must be purchased directly with the club. We are not able to coordinate your club memberships for you. Links and how to sign up will be sent upon booking your rental.

PLEASE NOTE: We are updating some of the decor over the next few months. Some pictures you see might not be completely accurate to what you see when you arrive. The good news is that is should only be better than before! Thanks for understanding :)

Turn Date in PEAK SUMMER SEASON: Sunday (7 night minimum, Sunday to Sunday only)

We do not offer refunds for cancellations outside of our defined cancellation policy NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. We strongly encourage purchasing travel insurance through a verified insurer. This is often very inexpensive and can cover the cost of your trip if unforeseen circumstances arise.

Wonderful family option close to East Beach
Our family of four loved our stay at Surfman’s Walk this summer! The location was perfect for us – a quiet street close to Shoal’s Club and Mike’s Bites. The kitchen was well appointed, beds among the best we’ve had on BHI, and the golf cart was new and quite zippy (unlike some others we’ve had on the island). The host made several thoughtful additions to make it toddler/kid safe and was in general, super responsive to our questions as well. Overall, a great option and would definitely stay again!

Wonderful Weekend!
Was a great stay! The house is fully stocked with access to a golf cart, bikes, and water sports- kayak and SUPs! We had so much fun exploring this beautiful island.

Always wanted to visit Bald Head, being an NC native. It’s all I imagined and more. I loved the beach the best with our own Sea World entertainment of dolphins. Surfman’s Walk was cozy and comfortable and not among the hubbub. Thank you for sharing your beloved home.

Wonderful experience!
This cozy cottage was perfect for our Easter vacation - check in was smooth (we arrived late, in the dark and it was easy). This is a beautiful location! There were nice touches everywhere and the house is set up for enjoying quality time with games, fast wifi, and a really nice golf cart :) it rained our entire trip and we didn't even mind because of how thoughtfully set up this island oasis was. Thank you for a lovely time!

Great weekend!
We had such a great weekend! It was just my wife & I for a quick getaway, but it would be a perfect house for a family or two couples. Very clean and had everything that we needed. We'd love to stay here again.
