Cape Fear Station House | BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: Beach AND Maritime Forest

4 Bedroom House in Cape Fear Station, Bald Head Island

IMPORTANT BOOKING NOTE: From Memorial Day weekend through the second week in August our home ONLY rents BY THE WEEK from SUNDAY to SUNDAY. All booking requests for reservations during the last week of May, JUNE, JULY, and the first 2 weeks of AUGUST must be for a SUNDAY TO SUNDAY booking or the reservation request will not be considered for approval.
During NON-summer months AFTER the second week of August UNTIL Memorial Day weekend our home MAY be available for minimum 3 day rentals depending on the month and week and how close to your reservation date you are booking (we normally only approve requests for reservations that are less than one week in duration if they are made less than 30 days prior to arrival since we like to leave our calendar open for and give preference to families who want to book a weekly rental instead of just a 3 night weekend rental. Off season HOLIDAY WEEKEND rentals normally require a minimum 4 night rental unless booked one month or less prior to the reservation start date). Please send an inquiry if you want to book for less than a week during the non-summer non-peak season and we will let you know if the particular time period you want to book is available since we give priority to weekly rentals but do accept a request for a “long weekend” rental of just 3 nights during non-summer months for non holiday weekends if the request is made less than 30 days in advance of arrival date on a non holiday weekend or less than 7 days in advance of arrival date if it is a holiday weekend.
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, the beauty & serenity of being tucked into the edge of the maritime forest right before the forest transitions into beach topography AND a quick 3 to 4 minute walk to arguably the best beach access on Bald Head Island. This is the last non-private beach access before the developed portion of Bald Head Island transitions from a dozen or so homes north of the beach access into miles and miles of undeveloped beach. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS is also near the Shoals Club. A 4 and a 6 seat golf cart to explore the island are included in the rental.
I'm Tom and my background is Design-Build and interior design and my "better half" is Lindy and her background is interior design and international furniture sales. We are SuperHosts on the "other site" and Premier Hosts on this site for the 6 bedroom vacation rental we do on our farm near Chapel Hill NC and have enjoyed hosting VRBO guests on our farm so much that we bought this home on Bald Head Island to do our "design and construction magic" and open it up to other families to enjoy.
Here is what differentiates our Bald Head home from the typical Bald Head home:
1. A quiet and shaded maritime forest setting where the maritime forest is beginning its transition into beach topography yet only a quick 3 to 4 minute walk to arguably the best beach access on Bald Head
2. The contemporary and comfortable design flair of the interior
3. Large "retreat style" bedrooms that are well-separated (no two bedrooms or bathrooms share a common wall) and give folks a chance to get away from the group and have privacy when they want some autonomy.
4. Two over-sized screen porches as well as an open deck , pergola and patio, all on the sunny south side of the home providing a myriad of options for outdoor living .
Best of Both Worlds is located on a quiet street in the edge of the maritime forest yet so close to the ocean the sounds of the breaking waves can lull you to sleep at night.
Enter the beach access that is only a quick 3 to 4 minute walk from our home and turn to your left and walk past the handful of remaining houses on the island and then you could literally walk for hours and see nothing but nature and the undisturbed beauty of miles and miles of untouched undeveloped Atlantic ocean front. No homes. No roads. No artificial dunes. Just literally miles and miles of nature and the Atlantic Ocean taking its course and sculpting the topography without man's interference.
