Everything about our stay was amazing! We loved the location, the access to BHI Club for the pool, the two golf carts and the supplies of beach towels, chairs and beach toys for the kids! BHI exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to come back!

Fantastic property!
Walking distance to the beach… The house is big and roomy… The kitchen is very well stocked! And the management team is amazing!

Date of Stay - April 2021
5 stars! We loved the house! It was extremely well organized and decorated. You can tell the owners spent lots of time providing everything you could need. We really liked the beach paintings. We found that the location is perfect, near the beach, the golf course, market, and marina.

N. Edmunds -. 5 STARS

Ferrytale Retreat has all the details covered—and what’s more important than the details? High-end appliances, super-well-appointed kitchen, impeccable décor, a Weber grill, luxurious memory foam mattresses, two great golf carts (but only blocks from a beach access). Great open spaces and comfy bedrooms—just a wonderful place to cool down and mix a margarita after a day in the sun. Highest recommendation here.
Located in Bald Head Island, this vacation home is near the beach. North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher is a popular attraction and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Fort Fisher State Recreation Area and Kure Beach. Discover the area's water adventures with kayaking, windsurfing, and motor boating nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with cycling.
