This charming coastal cottage captures the easygoing rhythm of Bald Head Island living. Ideally positioned in a location that offers the best of both worlds, enjoy peaceful mornings watching the sunrise and glowing sunset skies in the evening, all just seconds from direct beach access. Warm and welcoming by design, the home offers 1,460 heated square feet in the main residence, with a separate crofter suite bringing the total heated square footage to approximately 1,730 square feet. Thoughtfully arranged for both everyday comfort and guest flexibility, the property works beautifully as a personal island retreat, an investment property, or a blend of both. Inside, the cottage feels relaxed and inviting, with bright gathering spaces and an effortless connection to the outdoors. Recent owner improvements have focused on enhancing comfort, livability, and ease of ownership, including updated LVP flooring throughout the main home, refreshed windows and window treatments, a newer dishwasher, and a new HVAC system in the crofter. The property also has a strong rental history, generating more than $100,000 annually while still maintaining the charm and feel of a true second home getaway. Whether you're returning from the beach after a long summer afternoon, hosting family and friends for island weekends, or searching for a home with proven rental performance in an exceptional location, this cottage offers a rare opportunity to experience the best of Bald Head Island living. BHI Club and Shoals Club memberships are available for separate purchase.
