Windansea

Windansea on Bald Head Island combines privacy, style, and proximity to the beach, making it an ideal coastal retreat. With its charming exterior and a magazine-worthy interior, the home showcases stylish décor, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere. The residence spans 2,750 square feet and includes five thoughtfully appointed bedrooms that sleep up to 10 guests comfortably. The layout takes full advantage of its setting, with main living areas on the second floor for enhanced light and forest views. Additionally, the unique "Nest" on the third floor is a delightful escape, providing a cozy outdoor perch with ocean views perfect for sunrise coffee or stargazing.

Nestled just two streets away from East Beach, the island’s most sought-after shoreline, Windansea is ideally located for beach days filled with sun and surf. A quick two-minute stroll leads to the sandy shore, while the surrounding forest provides a secluded atmosphere rare for such proximity to the water. This duality of beach and forest allows for a tranquil sense of privacy and natural beauty, which are hallmarks of the island experience. Here, guests can revel in the best of both worlds, enjoying the soothing sounds of the ocean and the peaceful ambiance of the forest.

Inside, each of the five bedrooms offers stylish comfort, with three king-sized beds and two queen beds, as well as additional sleeping space with a pullout under one of the queen beds. The home also has four full bathrooms and a half bath, ensuring convenience and comfort for guests. Entertainment options are plentiful with multiple TVs, satellite and cable access, and streaming services, making it easy to unwind after a day of island adventure. The home is equipped with air conditioning, a coffee maker, a washer and dryer, and Wi-Fi to enhance the stay.

Bald Head Island is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and leisure seekers alike. Alongside beach days on East Beach, visitors can enjoy nature trails at the Bald Head Woods Reserve, explore the island by bike, or take a tour of the historic Old Baldy Lighthouse. The Bald Head Island Conservancy offers guided programs to discover the island’s unique ecosystem and seasonal sea turtle nesting activities. For golfers, the island’s exclusive golf course presents a serene yet challenging round with stunning coastal views, while those looking to shop and dine will find charming local options that showcase the island’s laid-back lifestyle.

Outdoors, Windansea offers several ways to embrace island life. Equipped with a golf cart and bicycles, guests can traverse the island with ease, and the outdoor grill is ideal for cooking up fresh local seafood.
