Watercolor is a traditional, cozy beachfront home waiting to greet you with the sun’s pastel morning colors and bid you goodnight with vivid sunsets and a star-filled sky. The house features Brazilian hardwood floors, stylish shiplap and an abundance of natural light.
The first floor opens to a bright vaulted living space anchored by a custom fireplace and sided by a wall of beach-facing sliding doors. It flows into the handsome dining area that easily accommodates ten and provides a wet bar. The nearby multi-chef kitchen boasts a sizeable island with plenty of prep room and breakfast bar seating as well as high-end stainless appliances, well-stocked kitchen necessities, custom cabinetry, and granite counters. Enjoy making and savoring meals here or step out onto the covered porch where you’ll find not only a hot tub and rocking and lounging chairs, but also a deck with a teak dining set and grill. From here, a private boardwalk leads onto the beach and into the ocean.
Back inside, a large, first floor, built-in library offers many books and movies. (Games and puzzles for all ages can be found on the upper level.) A Queen bedroom offers a walk-in closet and has a tiled bath, with a large walk-in shower, just outside its door. Across the hall, a Queen Suite, with a California closet and full bath (with a soaking tub) grants private access to the home’s back porch.
Upstairs, a loft with skylights is furnished with two extra-long Twin beds, each with a trundle. While these Twins are ample for an adult, this area’s conversation/ TV space makes it an ideal spot for kids. Beyond, the Owner’s Primary Suite dazzles with panoramic views from inside or out on its private porch. This suite features a King bed, a large walk-in closet, granite vanities and a sea glass tile bench shower with rain shower head and wand. TV's are located in each bedroom and the family room.

We had a fantastic family trip to Watercolor! Hard not to fall in love with the island every time we're down. Watercolor is a fantastic home in a great location on south beach. Direct beach access. Loved the rocking chairs on the porch, the hot tub, the views from the master suite were fantastic!

We had a great stay at Watercolors, wonderful location with private entry to beach. Rooms were great. Lots of amenities. Golf carts were great. Was able to get access to the BHI club for restaurants, golf, pickleballs and pool time. We had a outstanding stay.

What a wonderful stay at Bald Head and Watercolor. We were given clear information along the way to help us get to the island and check in. The house had everything needed for a great beach stay including a massive book and DVD collection, a closet full of puzzles and games, and all beach needs. Kitchen had all you needed as well if you wanted to stay in and cook. Island has plenty to eat too for those nights you want to get out. We only ran into one prob with hot water and WWP was out there in a flash and helped us out. The main question to be asked is would we stay again and the answer is definitely!

This was our third summer staying at Watercolor and once again, it did not disappoint. The location on the island and ease of getting to the beach cannot be beat (especially with a few young children where back and forth trips are a given). The house is well stocked with amenities and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need if you’re cooking while on the island. Thank you for sharing you beautiful home with us!

Had a WONDERFUL time at Bald Head and Watercolor last week. Everything was perfect...the house is beautifully decorated and everything is top of the line...from furniture to appliances and more. Very clean and everything works. Golf carts phenomenal. Hot tub an added plus. And, the location can't be beat---directly on the beach with your own private beach access. Can't say enough - it was PERFECT. We highly recommend and would rent here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful week! House was perfect for our family. Best stocked home ever rented. Rooms were spacious. Loved eating dinner outside. Wish could see the ocean from lower porch - dunes too high. But other than that-perfect!

House was nice - no beach access due to construction & even IF you got to beach, who wants to sit by a bulldozer & orange fencing?? Paid too much for a beach house rental with beach access problems & no access from house. Arriving with workers there was not ideal as it’s a safety issue with a single guest at house (myself) & crew of men outside. Response to house issues due to power outage was prompt.

We loved this house! It was the perfect home away from home with a wonderfully stocked kitchen equipped with just about everything a chef would need to prepare a fabulous meal. The oceanfront, outdoor areas were also a wonderful place to sit and relax while listening to the waves crash on the shore. The house was very clean and conveniently located to everything on the island. I would highly recommend this house, the owners, and the rental company as they were all willing to work with us to create a special birthday surprise weekend! We would definitely stay here again.

Great house, supplied with everything you need... master bedroom views stunning. Very impressed with WWP, the few issues we had (ie, flat tire) were taken care of as soon as possible. It’s been 10 years since our last visit to BHI, we’ll be back soon!

Started rough. Upon arrival, my husband and sons hopped in the golf cart to head to the market for basic supplies. Halfway back, the cart went dead and my husband and son had to push the cart home home as the other son steered. (This was in the rain.) The cart had not been plugged in fully/long enough, as we had no problems with it the remainder of the week. There were bugs in the first floor bath tub when we arrived and more in the kitchen. A fellow just showed up to the door to work on the HVAC one morning. He was there for two hours. No one called us to tell us he was coming. We called the office to make sure it was someone who had been authorized by the homeowners to come. Finally, the chain, in the tank , came loose on the downstairs toilet, my husband fixed that.

This home was absolutely wonderful and I hope to return next year!! Spacious, bright & happy with phenomenal views...all of which inspired me to paint 8 new watercolor paintings!! When there were minor problems (with the cart & an unlockable door) the management quickly sent reliable people to fix the problem. Wonderful Experience!

Bald head island is a unique environment and we had a great time while visiting and staying at the watercolor house. Location is excellent, the house is updated with nice appliances and the garage is full of beach toys for the kids - also lots of games, movies and books inside. Everything worked well (WiFi etc). We had a couple of issues with one of the golf carts and the property managers sent someone out to fix it within an hour.

We have rented beach houses for over 25 years and owned a rental beach house for 5. This house had a well supplied kitchen. That was wonderful! Many games, movies and books also. The biggest disappointment was the condition of all of the mattresses on the beds! The king and two queens are terrible! We would never rent there again because of that. We go away to have a restful vacation and the sleeping conditions ruined that. There were roaches in the kitchen by Thursday and Friday. The two shower drains on the main floor did not drain well. We would be standing in two inches of water while showering. The dishwasher was not draining properly, but someone from the rental company came out to fix that.

This was a birthday weekend for two couples. The house was wonderful. The house was beautifully decorated. Very clean and the kitchen had all the little items that you needed. the location was just right for enjoying the sunset. the only thing I would like to see is an updated golf cart. It was very slow and the headlights so bad that driving at night was very difficult.

We just went for the weekend, myself, husband and 4 kids 7 and under. We decided at the last minute to go, and the rental agency was very accommodating. The house was very clean, well stocked, had lots of dishes, glasses, etc that sometimes are skimpy in rental homes. The view was amazing, and we loved sitting in the hot tub looking at the ocean. We also really enjoyed the old VHS tapes for the kids to watch movies up in the loft, and the game closet to keep us busy during the rain. We will definitely return to this house!

We had a great weekend and loved the home. It was well appointed and kept in great condition. Our only issue is we wish the internet was a little better. All in all, it was well worth the money.

My wife and I were looking for a quiet, peaceful spot to spend some time away with our two children. Watercolor on BHI was exactly what we where looking for! Only saw six people on the beach our entire stay. When people say you have the beach to yourself, they mean it. It truly was the most relaxing spot we have ever been to.
The accommodations were perfect. Direct private beach access. The porch on this house is a wonderful place to sit, eat or just relax and listen to the ocean. Inside has everything a family or any group may need. Perfect bedrooms, wonderful living space, and we just loved the kitchen. There were bikes and carts for exploring the island.
We will definitely be back.

We have stayed at this house with our family (2 young kids, us, and grandparents) as well as with other friends. It is perfect for both. There were plenty of comfortable beds, there are cribs, baby gates, the kitchen has everything, and the hot tub is very relaxing. There are tons of games, books, and movies (my kids discovered a love for the Berenstain Bears on our first visit that has lasted through the years). We have returned many times and will continue to do so. The beach is right there, and there are golf carts (one big and one small) to go anywhere. We only used the pass for the club once, because there are so many other things to do at the house and around the island. It truly is a retreat away from everything that continues to draw us back.
5.0 / 10.0
BHI and Watercolor accommodate so well whatever wants and needs a family, a group of friends, a couple, or even just an individual might be looking for. Watercolor is on the beach, with a walkway directly off the back deck -- great for children. There are bikes and electric carts to explore the island quietly, seeing wildlife very often (deer, rabbits, birds, and others), plus walking trails into the nature preserve where one sees trees of great size and shapes. For sports, the island offers both golf and tennis, with the tennis pro one who is an accomplished player and a solid instructor. We enjoy kayaking, and found the options of kayaking throughout the marsh to be a different experience for ones who typically do rivers or the ocean. We also found the food at several locations to be both varied and accommodating to the tastes of both children, teenagers, and adults. Mornings offered quick trips via electric cart to get both good coffee (varied selections), a light breakfast, or a more full one -- all each morning very good.
The house itself, Watercolor, was very comfortable. We found it very clean and ready for our arrival, the carts ready for exploring, the rocking chairs on the back deck looking out to the ocean beckoning immediately, and our locating very quickly where things were (cooking utensils, towels, etc.). The house is very open for guests, with a large sitting area with lots of windows facing the ocean, and the bedrooms each offering privacy. We have been there twice, once with several others and once just as a couple, finding both times to be most enjoyable, and the house set up so that guests can be with others or can have time to be more alone. The hot tub was clean, worked well, and became the standard ending of each day.
Although we brought our own books to read, the selection of books and videos was varied and one could find books and videos of interest for most any taste.
Finally, although there is everything one might want on the island and at Watercolor, the ferry ride back to the mainland is quick and enjoyable, and the town there offers shopping at a variety of quaint and unique stores.
We recommend this property highly, and will return again later this year of 2017.
