Just completed renovations!!! Overlooking the 9th tee box on the golf course with south beach access #9 on the other side of the house just across the street.

Tern Back Time is Located on the secluded Bald Head Island with no cars (golf carts only), and a nature preserve, it is an ideal getaway. The home is minutes from the marina/harbour, BHI Club and a beach access #9 on the western side by the Cape Fear River. Located on a cul-de-sac, it is a quiet location, great for little ones who want to practice their bike riding skills!

A few notes about Club changes for 2022. They have changed dates when renters can access the clubs. Some dates/times are for permanent members only. Also, they capped how many temporary rental memberships are available, so request this ASAP before they sell out! Payment is now based on per person instead of per bedroom. Lastly, they are now capping the number of individual temporary members per home, and our home's cap is 10. If you have more than 10 guests, not all can use the club. I strongly suggest contacting the club to ask your questions and get clarification. Unfortunately, we do not know all of the details, and calling or emailing the club will be best at [email protected]. Once you make guest membership then you can contact [email protected] to make dining reservations during your stay.

Visit the club websites and see if the BHI Conservancy to learn more about the island's various pools, golf, kids camps, kids dissection classes, and more! Our family has really enjoyed their amenities.
