Carolina Moonshine @ BHI !!Sparkle & Shine On @ BHI Marina

Carolina Moonshine @ BHI is the best in the Marina! This shingled cottage rimming the Bald Head Island Marina with south-facing porch provides breathtaking waterfront views of marina, harbor, ferry terminal, & river. The sunrises & sunsets over the water make it spectacular!!! The harbor location makes it the center of Island activities summer, winter, spring or fall!
Carolina Moonshine is within walking distance to all the restaurants, bars, coffee & ice cream shops. It is convenient to Old Baldy Lighthouse & Smith Island Museum and the Village Chapel & Post Office. Take advantage of Moon Shine's location with access to three Beach Accesses directly from the harbor. The island beach accesses are for everyone. You may enjoy visiting the South & East Beaches too, but you have your own here in the harbor. From here you can go island cruising through the maritime forest or take the beach route called Bald Head Wynd on our 2 passenger golf cart to the beach, the market, the clubs, or conservancy. You can rent bikes, sailboats, kayaks, or stand up paddle boards to tour the island, too.
Carolina Moon Shine's spacious one bedroom has new Pottery Barn Linen King Bed with Westin Heavenly Mattress topped by luxurious linens and down filled duvet and pillows.

South facing porch with teak chairs & table encompass all marina views from ferry dock to yachts to restaurants and lighthouse. A beautiful place to have your favorite drink. Conveniently located close to beach and salt marsh creek accesses and all water activities.

Great Island Cottage!!
We loved this gorgeous home! My husband and I drove our boat and rented a slip- since this home is right on the marina- we could keep an eye on our boat from the house. Great location, golf cart a huge plus. Property owner was helpful and easy to work with. 10/10, great stay!

Perfect Romantic Getaway
Our second time staying here to celebrate our wedding anniversary, it’s perfect for us. Super clean, best location on the marina. With a golf cart included, you can get anywhere on the island especially the beaches and shopping at the market. Communication responses were fast and detailed. Easy checkin and access. Walk to the hut from the ferry, no need for the tram. Beach access in walking distance to stretch the legs. Absolutely recommend this place and friends are already asking for info. We would definitely stay there again! Cheers!

Great location
My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend getaway. The location is very convienent to the ferry and local shops/restaurants. The golf cart could use some maintenance, especially on the brakes but it was functional for what we needed. Overall, a nice relaxing weekend - we would recommend.

This little cottage was perfect. If I could give the location a better rating I would. Close to ferry, kayak tours, and restaurants. The view of the marina from the windows and porch add a bonus for sure.
