Sea Oats Cottage is a 5 BR/ 5 BA South Beach second-row oceanfront retreat!

(5B, 4.5 BA, 3K, 4T, Sleeps 10; 2 4-person golf carts, Saturday Turn in Peak Sea, CHECK OUT 11:00AM / CHECK IN 5:30PM) Relax while enjoying ocean breezes through the sea oats at Sea Oats Cottage-a five-bedroom, 4.5-bath PET FRIENDLY second row oceanfront retreat. Revel in the panoramic, unobstructed views of the Atlantic from the front porch and interior of this Bald Head Island home. Situated close to a beach access, this is a great vacation spot to unwind listening to the song of the surf.

The front sun deck and deep wrap-around covered porch beckon you to catch some rays or rock away the hours enjoying glimmering seascapes and enjoying the sounds of the South Beach waves hitting the shore. "Cottage" is misleading as the inside of this bright open-floorplan home is spacious! The light-filled living area provides the perfect spot for snuggling and conversations. Anchored by a decorative fireplace with a distressed mantel, you'll love this spot's (and the rest of the home's) reclaimed wood floors, white shiplap and beamed coffered ceiling. The nearby handsome dining space is surrounded by windows and houses an elegant table seating eight. Nearby, a large gleaming granite island not only provides plenty of prep space but also accommodates four at its breakfast bar. The chef's kitchen, boasting stainless appliances and a convenient adjacent bar area, has been thoughtfully stocked with an abundance of cookware and bakeware for the gourmet enthusiast. There are three well-appointed bedrooms and 2.5 baths on this floor. The first two are King suites, each with their own private full bath. The other is a Bonus Room set up as a bright bunk room with two built-in Twins and access to a half bath.

Upstairs you will find two additional bedrooms. One is the Primary King Suite with its own ensuite bath and an ocean-view balcony where you will spend every evening savoring the sunset! The other is a Twin bedroom with two beds. It utilizes the nearby full bath in the hall. The home recently installed all new beds, mattresses and bedding. Plus, it's pet friendly-so you can bring your canine family member on vacation with you!

Located almost exactly in the center of the Island, close to all of BHI's amenities, Sea Oats Cottage also features a gas grill, an outdoor shower and the use of two four-passenger golf carts (One is enclosed.), and includes WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends. Make your dream of watching swaying sea oats against blue water a reality, make a reservation to stay at BHI's Sea Oats Cottage! (There is an additional required $300/dog nonrefundable pet fee.)

Great Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home is well equipped and nicely decorated/renovated. It was clean and perfectly located within the island. However, it is listed as an oceanfront home and even though there isn't a home in front of it, there is a road, albeit very close to the beach, but also a big dune. When sitting on the front porch from the main living area, all you see is a dune. You will see a nice view from one bedroom upstairs, but it's a bedroom porch. I think it needs to be noted in the description. One other suggestion is having a queen bed in the twin room upstairs would be very helpful, leaving only one room with twins. I would recommend this property if you don't care about the view or the twins in two rooms. Other than that, very nice stay.

Evenwe’ve been coming since 2017 for 2 weeks on each visit. We love the fully equiped kitchen and the glorios view from the Master bedroom. We treat itas our own. though we had several aggravations early, we have really enjoyed our two week stay. The weather was great, along with the expansive views of the ocean. We also loved the evening sunsets and the magnificent blue moon. WPP was great in responding to our issues.

We are the owners of Sea Oats cottage. This winter we did a lot of routine maintenance to make the house safer and better. Touch up paining, replacing some boards, and other small things like that. The golf carts were given a full inspection and going over and are ready to go. Our happy place is all ready for the season. We miss it when we are gone! We hope our guests enjoy it as much as we do.

House is lovely with great views. Only complaint was the construction on the beach. Huge ugly pipes and bulldozers going up and down the beach even on a Sunday. We called to ask why this information was not disclosed as it had been going on for months we found out. WWP said they were not aware of the situation which was absurd as the agents are spotted on the island constantly. I also saw reviews from other visitors complaining which I googled after we arrived. We felt the rental should have been discounted but were told they could not do anything. At a minimum the situation should have been disclosed when we booked as I spoke with wwp asking specific questions about the rental.

A most wonderful and cozy seaside cottage. This home feels like home and is adorned from floor to ceiling with a casual elegance that works. Sea Oats Cottage has everything and then some that one would ever need for a week at the ocean. This home has the best equipped kitchen of any home that we’ve ever rented. The beach going accessories are also in abundance(there is a Shubumi that we discovered too late). From the excellent front porch and other outdoor sitting areas, the views of the ocean, that special Bald Head Island light that fills this beautiful home with such a radiant glow, Sea Oats Cottage excels perfectly at every level. A most enjoyable and memorable week spent with friends on BHI in this lovely home. Thank You!

Sea Oats Cottage is fantastic
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view, the ocean breeze, the accomadations are all first class. The only drawback is that the property has two 4-seater golf carts. A five bedroom house really needs larger golf carts as you'll likely have at least eight people that need to get around, plus chairs, bags etc.

Labor day stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 7th year on the island we have never had an issue with the houses being dirty until this year. The shelves were filthy and dog hair under tables. The cleaning crew forgot to clean up trash on the balcony also. One golf cart had terrible breaks and the other was hard to drive due to tightness in steering wheel. The beds were very comfortable but bedding was awful it did not fit the bed so sheets were coming untucked all week.

Great house!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great house with beautiful decor and a nice porch. It's set back a bit from the beach, but there's a beach access point across the street in front of the house. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms a bit small/on the basic side for the price. The kitchen is big and well-appointed with almost anything you'd need for cooking and baking.

Perfect Cottage for Family Fun!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our extended family rented the Sea Oats cottage for a week in mid May and it was perfect for our vacation. We found the house to be clean and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable week away. The kitchen was well outfitted and we used the grill a lot and ate out on the amazing deck to enjoy the ocean view. We had several small dogs with us and were so happy that the property was pet friendly. The location can't be beat, perfect for a family that has small kids- just a 2 minute walk to the beach. We will definitely be back and rent this property again! Thank you
