Long weekends are best by the beach.
The long weekend — what a wonderful time for families or couples to get away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives and visit somewhere new or revisit somewhere fond memories can be rekindled. There are some long weekends on the upcoming horizon. How about a trip over President’s Day weekend when the island is just beginning to wake from its winter nap? Or a romantic getaway for Valentine’s Day? Before you know it, Memorial Day will be right around the corner.
Here at Tiffany’s, we have properties in many different locations, which will allow you to sample the different island environments. There’s the classic, idyllic beach front house; take for example the beautiful new addition to our rental fleet: Three Little Birds. This majestic home is situated on south beach and you are sure to be blinded by the dazzling ocean views. Perfect for a family looking for some fun in the sun and stargazing at night – listening to the ocean waves crash on the beach.
Somewhere in the forest, underneath the trees and canopy of live oaks rests another one of our gems: See Glass Cottage. It’s a home for those that love to take some shade after a long day at the beach. This year, it’s now dog friendly, so bring along your best friend. See Glass is also perfectly placed in relation to the variety of shopping you can find on the island. Room Service for one; where you can find all your interior design needs or unique gifts. There’s also Island Passage for a cute new outfit to wear to Jules Salty Grub for a margarita and then on to Jailhouse Provisions for a calabash feast. You’re supremely located to all the hikes through the famous Maritime Forest.
Deep into the place locals call Middle Island, is a house suited for those who really want to get away from it all. Cape Creek. One of Tiffany’s staple properties which guests have been enjoying for year. Jennifer said “[cape creek is the] Best place to go for a true family vacation. Great house with fabulous views and privacy.” Perched on a hill next to the creek with a deck that overlooks the island’s picturesque marsh, where wildlife is abundant from sunrise to sundown.

The Island Expert: Tips for Booking a Bald Head Island Vacation Rental
Whether you’re actively planning a trip to Bald Head Island or simply in the vacation daydreaming phase, we’re excited that you’re interested in visiting us on BHI. Our island is the perfect place to make new memories and get away from the daily grind.
However, one thing that can turn a lovely vacation into a nightmare is renting a home from the wrong service or person. No one should have to deal with that while they’re trying to relax.
We know it can be tough to book the right rental, so here are some tips to consider when looking for your dream vacation rental.
Tip #1: Ask questions.
They say a photo is worth a thousand words, but photos only capture the photographer’s point of view. When searching for the perfect rental, it’s good to ask a lot of questions. The problem though is that it isn’t always easy to get an answer from someone who knows a property inside and out.
When booking with us, Tiffany is the one who answers the phone. She has carefully curated each vacation home listing and knows every detail about the properties. Have a question? Just ask her!
Tip #2: Ask more questions.
It’s all about location – or is it? Frankly, there are no bad locations on Bald Head Island. But if you’ve never been to the island, one location might suit you better than another. Perhaps you would rather see the sunrise over the marsh or the sunset over West Beach.
Tiffany can help you determine your perfect spot. You’ll find that many of our listings include a map so you know exactly where the properties are located on the island.
Tip #3: Book through a reputable service.
When it comes to booking a vacation on Bald Head Island, you have many choices. But you’ll receive the best service and peace of mind by booking with a reputable company that has an office on the island and a full-time staff who can respond quickly if the air conditioning goes out or your golf cart has a flat tire.

Fall on Bald Head Island: 3 Reasons to Make it Your Off-Season Getaway
It has been said that nothing compares to fall on Bald Head Island. And who are we to argue with them? Our island is glorious in autumn.
Now, we know you may be wondering something along these lines:
- Is a fall vacation in a North Carolina beach town crazy?
- Aren’t all the restaurants and shops closed?
- Isn’t it too cold?
We’re here to tell you that Bald Head Island is the perfect spot for a fall getaway. Even when the bustling summer season has officially wrapped up, our island still has plenty for folks to see and do.
Plus, the simmering heat starts to fade into seasonably warm days that are still perfect for a day on the beach. In fact, the daily high averages 82 degrees in September and 74 degrees in October. Sounds lovely, right? It is!
In this post, we will uncover a few reasons you should start planning to visit Bald Head Island in the Fall and we’ll share some of our favorite places to stay on the island. Let’s dive in!
3 Reasons to Spend Fall on Bald Head Island
Whether you love the great outdoors or need some major retail therapy, our island has something for everyone—even in the fall. Read on to learn more about what we have to offer.
The Island is still hopping.
Labor Day notoriously marks the end of summer in America, but it doesn’t mean the days are automatically cooler or that everything shuts down. While we do know a thing or two about celebrating Labor Day in style, there is still so much to do after the summer season ends.
The Shopping – If you are a shopaholic, the shops on Bald Head Island offer a range of goods and goodies for all tastes and price ranges. Purchase a sea-inspired piece of art or an aromatic candle that smells of sea and dune at Room Service Home Furnishings or pick up the latest in fashion at Island Passage BHI or Monkees BHI.
The Relaxation – Wake up and treat yourself to yoga on the porch at Island Retreat and Spa or indulge in a full day of personal wellness.
The Eats – If you’re afraid all the island’s restaurants are shuttered for the off-season, fear not. Start your day with a made-to-order almond milk latte at Midway Coffee. For lunch or dinner, Jules’ Salty Grub and Island Pub offers a variety of surf and turf options. Have a margarita or an order of pimento cheese at Jailhouse Provisions. Order a carryout pizza from Delphina and have an easy dinner in your beach rental.
The Happy Hours – If you happen to be visiting us during the 4th Wednesday of the month, you must swing by Old Baldy, our island’s historic lighthouse, for a climb to the top and a spectacular panoramic view of the island.
Cooler temps = more outdoor adventures.
The summers can be so hot that even your favorite outdoor activities are no longer enjoyable. However, fall on Bald Head Island is the perfect blend of warm days sandwiched by cooler mornings and evenings.
If you love to fish (with a license, of course), the waters are still warm enough in the fall to draw large schools of trout and flounder. Want to take a walk? Stroll the half-mile Kent Mitchell Nature Trail for scenic views and wildlife spotting.
If you enjoy biking—and we hope you do because no cars are allowed on the island—cruise around town to discover the sites on a rental from Riverside Adventures.
Learn how to fish with the BHI Conservancy. Their annual fishing school always sells out! And you can’t forget about swimming! The water is still warm enough to wade or plunge into.
Bonfires are better on the beach.
Fall is a popular time for folks to sit around a campfire, spinning spooky tales and eating S’mores. In our humble opinion, the beach is a far better place to sit around the fire. And dare we say: those gooey treats even taste better at the beach. You can schedule your bonfire here!
Places to Stay on BHI in the Fall
Surround yourself in fall vibes and get immersed in island life all at the same time. We’ve rounded up our three favorite places that are still available for rent this fall.
Change of Venue
This cozy cottage sits on the 5th fairway, featuring high vaulted ceilings and updated amenities. The space seems to double the open floor plan and with three sets of doors to the screened porch, the living space is endless.
Shell Yes
This well-appointed cottage is the perfect place to stay as you roam and take in the island. Shell Yes is a gorgeous two-bedroom, two-bath beach cottage on Bald Head Island’s East end that sleeps 6 to 8 people. Just a short distance to East Beach, Bald Head Island Conservancy, Commons Park, and the Shoals Club.
Spend Fall with Us on Bald Head Island
Fall on Bald Head Island offers travelers a lot of benefits. In the off-season, prices on vacation rentals are reduced. Plus, the island is far less crowded, giving you free rein to the beaches and all the outdoor activities you can stand. Oh! Don’t forget the shopping. And the food! We can’t wait to see you.

Catch the End of Sea Turtle Nesting Season
Sea turtle nesting season is a huge deal on BHI. And if you visit for Labor Day, you just might catch sight of some hatchlings. To get up close and personal with the sea turtles (safely), reserve a Turtle Walk with the Bald Head Island Conservatory.
Labor Day Sales at the Island’s Boutiques
Just like the big box stores on the mainland, the boutiques and shops on Bald Head Island slash prices in honor of Labor Day. Whether you’re looking for the perfect art piece or a trinket to take home from your travels, the shops on BHI have something for everyone who loves to shop.

Experience Sea Turtle Nesting Season on Bald Head Island
Calling all nature lovers! Summer is here and that means one thing on Bald Head Island: it’s sea turtle nesting season.
Have you ever dreamed of watching newly hatched sea turtles make their way into the ocean? Sure, you can watch videos of hatchlings crawling to the water, but nothing compares to seeing it in person.
If this is on your bucket list, then a trip to Bald Head Island is the perfect destination for you. In this post, we’re sharing some information about nesting season PLUS a few recommendations on can’t-miss places to stay.
Sea Turtle Nesting Season on Bald Head Island
Each summer between mid-May and August, loggerhead turtles wash ashore on the pristine beaches of our island to lay their eggs. Each female starts by digging a chamber, and then lays her around 120 eggs at a time!
The female then kicks sand behind her in attempt to cover and protect the nest from predators, like foxes and other local wildlife. However, the turtles don’t always cover up their eggs well enough. Luckily, the wonderful folks in the Sea Turtle Protection Program with the Bald Head Island Conservatory help ensure nests are reinforced and unharmed.
In addition, the program educates island guests about being mindful observers of the turtles. And if you want to observe these turtles or hatchlings in person, you don’t want to miss BHI Conservatory’s Turtle Walks. Though they can’t guarantee you’ll see any turtles, this is the best and safest way to get in on the action.
Places to Stay During Sea Turtle Nesting Season on Bald Head Island
Now, we’ve never claimed to be marine biologists. But we do know a thing or two about Bald Head Island vacation rental homes. If you plan to make a trip to the island, you’ll need a cozy place to rest your head. We’ve curated a couple of our favorite options just for you.
The Beach Box
The Beach Box, a quiet ocean-front cottage with direct beach access, has four bedrooms and two bathrooms – plenty of space to stretch out. It’s also located close to the island’s south beach which tends to be a popular nesting spot for the turtles.
Altitude Adjustment
Altitude Adjustment has ocean views that will calm your soul and set you at ease. This five-bedroom home is built for relaxation and comes with tons of outdoor living space. Its proximity to the beaches and the BHI Club makes it an excellent choice for your vacation.
Plan Your Summer Trip to Bald Head Island
Sea turtle nesting season is the perfect reason to plan your escape to Bald Head Island. Whether you want to stay oceanside or in the heart of the island, Tiffany’s Beach Properties can make your vacation a memorable one.

Secrets of the Kindred Spirit Mailbox
Beyond the dunes of a remote North Carolina beach, you’ll find a special home for more than 40 years’ worth of personal stories from thousands of visitors and locals.
Visit the Kindred Spirit Mailbox on Bird Island, where a once-secret caretaker tells his tale of a magical place.
For decades, thousands of visitors have made the hike to the Kindred Spirit Mailbox on uninhabited Bird Island in North Carolina. People from all over the county and all walks of life have come to release their innermost thoughts to the mailbox’s journals.
A place to gather your thoughts.
Located on a secluded and pristine stretch of beach far from the nearest public access point and nestled between dunes is an unlikely sight. A lonely mailbox with a weathered bench next to it. The bench is where visitors will sit to divulge their deepest thoughts, and the mailbox is where you place the journal when you are done.
More than a container for pieces of paper, the mailbox holds the thoughts, prayers, dreams, and wishes of those on a mission to bare their soul and find comfort from the writing.
A long history.
The incredible popularity of the mailbox has surprised everyone, even the mailboxes caretaker, Sunset Beach native Frank Nesmith. Nesmith has tended the mailbox since its beginning, for many years.
It was an old flame who had the idea for The Kindred Spirit mailbox in the first place. According to Nesmith, it was her idea. Referring to a woman named Claudia, who he briefly dated in the late 1970s. “You know, when you go with a girl, you want to do what they want you to do because you might want to get a kiss.”
The tradition.
It is a trek from Sunset Beach to the mailbox, but it is definitely worth the work. The serene walk from the last public access on Sunset Beach to Bird Island and the Kindred Spirit Mailbox will be sure to give you the opportunity to reconnect with self and spirit.
Keep walking until you see an opening in the dunes in the distance. If you get to the jetty, you have gone too far. Next to an old, weather-beaten bench is the community mailbox. Inside you’ll find journals, and pens, along with the hopes and dreams, the grief and pain of the people who have left their most personal thoughts on the pages within.
Not only does the peaceful journey with the beautiful backdrop help to clear the mind, but a large part also the mailbox’s allure is its anonymity. The remote, pristine location on an uninhabited island with the sea air and sounds of the surf encourages visitors to bare their most intimate thoughts and take part in this longstanding tradition.
Are you willing to share your deepest thoughts with the mailbox? Check out our nearby beach rentals and prepare to spend your vacation on the beach while releasing those deep thoughts! Contact our expert team today, and we will find the perfect rental for you.
