About this property
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.

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.

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

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 :)

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.
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!
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.
The Surf Shack on BHI is charming and comfortable and well stocked! We loved our time staying there. Only wish it would have been longer-we will be back. Amazing location, very clean and great golf cart!
Great location and perfect size for our family of four! We loved having access to the Shoals Club and East Beach. The beds were comfortable (and we all slept like babies thanks to the sound machines). We didn’t use the outdoor spaces due to so many webs and spiders, which was one of the main downsides to our stay.
The reason for the good ratings.. is because we got conflicting information about How to leave the cottage.. you might want to review ur information.. soap in bathroom was commercial grade and awful on ur skin.. we would stay there again and host was easy to work with and communicate with..
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.
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!
Year 3 on the island and we feel like we're becoming pros. It can be stressful with all the logistics re: packing, labeling, ferrying, traming, but once you experience it the first time and realize how lovely and organized everyone is, you get to set it and forget it! We're more of the Shoal's ilk and these units have been perfect for our fam of 4. The BHI club is still requiring reservations (3-hr slots I think) since the pandemic and I can't bear the thought of keeping to a schedule while on vacation. And then there's the beach service the Shoals provides...you're right there on the beach!But yes, this home offered everything we needed. No notes :) Well, hahaha there was the golf cart. We're not used to the newer, zippier carts so just be aware this one does go well above the 18mph speed limit. Don't ask me how I know....Thanks for sharing your home with us which made for yet another amazing week at BHI!
