Beautiful ocean view home on amazing Bald Head Island

Fantastic to wake up in the morning and look out over the Atlantic. Reverse floor plans home with 2 br, both with private baths, on lower lever. Master br has a private porch with a swing to enjoy a lazy afternoon. Second br has bunk beds plus a queen bed too accommodate up to 4 guests. Upper level with kitchen, dining area and living room. Enjoy the great ocean views. Easy walking distance to the ocean. I have memberships in both the Shoals and BHI clubs so a temporary membership is available to purchase for either. There are 2 four seat golf carts for your use. Not a better place to relax on the island

Great view and location
We loved having breakfast on the upstairs porch overlooking the ocean. House and carts were in good condition and everything was clean. Short ride to the market and short walk to the beach.

Wonderful week
Carol's house was perfect for the three of us and there's plenty of space for more. Very nice bedrooms and baths, great ocean views, close to the beach, and a generously sized main room and kitchen, which was super comfortable when family (from all over US) staying in other houses stopped by. Loved the top deck for coffee in the morning and drinks at night. Excellent communication and our travel went well smoothly too -- happy about all!

Cute place close to the beach
This is a cute 2 bedroom house, right across from South Beach. There is a view of the ocean from the living room. It has recently been renovated, and is a very nice place to stay.

Anniversary trip
Wonderful experience! House as advertised, views better than pictures. The house sits up on a hill providing sweeping view of the ocean, albeit over and between rooftops. Host was quick to respond to questions and very good to work with. This house is perfect for a small family or couple. Will definitely rent again.

Wonderful rental on bald head
Wonderful rental for the family. The path to the beach was simple and a quick walk. The open concept living, dining and kitchen was great for everyone to be together yet apart. Thanks for a great vacation

Perfect size, great location
A lot of the places on or near south beach are just too much house for a small family of three or four, but the Sail4Fun is the perfect size (could easily accommodate two adults and 3 children) and is in a fantastic location. The ocean views from both levels are great and the beach access is literally a few steps across the wynd. We had a great stay. The “older” golf cart with the higher tires has some good pep, too, which is a nice bonus.

Super house
Clean. Nice view. Enjoyed the hammock. Loved all the bikes. Perfect huge sectional couch for lounging with teenagers to watch movies and do puzzles. The golf cart that we were able to use was new but very sluggish. Mattress in master bedroom could stand an upgrade. Not the most comfortable one I’ve ever slept on. Would definitely return.

Relaxing, clean home with a great view!
We've stayed on Bald Head Island several times before finding this wonderful home! We agreed this was the best VRBO on the island! Relaxing, clean and we had a beautiful view of the ocean. Amenities were fantastic! Well stocked coffee! And we were greeted with a bottle of wine with a thoughtful welcome note!

Couples trip
We have been coming to BHI for over 35 years. We sold our house and have been staying at different properties on the island. This house was one of our favorites! It was decorated great and the kitchen was stocked. 2 carts was helpful to have and we really enjoyed the view. House is great for couples or even 2-3 couples. We hope to stay here again!

Perfect
We had such a wonderful stay on BHI. This property is the perfect spot as it is centrally located plus only a short walk to the beautiful beach. Views are gorgeous and everything in the house is as advertised. When we needed to communicate with the owner the response was swift and all was taken care of immediately. Highly recommend!

Spectacular Bald Head property!
I booked a 3-night stay for my parents at this property and after leaving, they immediately started making plans to come back. Awesome location, incredible views, sparkling clean, nicely decorated, and peaceful. This was a very special trip for them and I am so grateful to the host for making their time so wonderful! Thank you!!!

Great Week on Bald Head
This was our first trip to BHI. We had a great experience and 8 Killegray Ridge was the perfect place to stay. The house was clean and well appointed. Views from the top deck were fabulous. The kitchen has been updated and was well stocked. Master bath is beautiful. We were not fans of the hard beds but we managed. The proximity to the beach and the market was very good. We would stay here again.

Fantastic home in a beautiful location
We have been coming to the island for 20 years now, and this is one of the few houses we’ve stayed at that we would have no hesitations about returning to. The house was clean, outfitted well, and the layout was perfect for a small family. The furniture and decor were proportioned well and took advantage of the space. This never happens, but somehow, the view was actually better and more beautiful than the photos suggest. The owner was extremely communicative and responded immediately. Thanks for everything!

Wonderful Retreat
This was a girls trip with 5 women and Carol's house was the perfect spot for us to get away from work, children, life, etc and relax. Carol was EXTREMELY prompt in responding to a couple of issues we had and everything was fixed and just perfect. The view off the upstairs balcony is perfect to check out and read a book or enjoy a glass of wine. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen. The golf carts were perfect, plus the extra perk of having 4 bikes was amazing to explore the island. The location is also ideal being right in between the east beach and the central area with the shops and market. I would highly recommend this beach oasis on Bald Head.

Perfect beach house for family of 4
We love Bald Head Island, and the Sail4Fun house checks all the boxes: ocean view from the living area (reverse floor plan with open living area on upper floor), short walk across the road to beach access, enough space for our family of 4 without paying for a huge house we don’t need. This may be one of only a few smaller houses so near to the ocean. I felt comfortable letting my 12 and 9 yr old kids walk to the beach themselves and gaining some independence. We love that the house comes with 2 golf carts and 4 adult bikes. Kitchen is well -stocked and we cooked most meals at the house.

Not good enough
Good location and overall nice design. However, the bed was very uncomfortable, the pillows were cheap and lumpy, and the floor left our feet or socks dirty after ten minutes. The door lock required an arm wrestle to open every time. We were subjected to a claim against our insurance coverage for damages to the golf cart we didn’t even drive. We won’t be back!
