We loved being close to the wild, undeveloped coastal environment. Our host, Ron, was very friendly and helpful, and the house was so comfortable and accommodating. We look forward to our next nature retreat in this lovely place!

This was the best place that I have ever stayed in Bald Head. I have been coming here with my family for 40 years.

Wow! This is the best property on the island and it isn’t close. An absolutely one of a kind unique experience surrounded by nature. Being so close to the best beach on the island and a private nature trail is absolutely unbeatable. The house was one treasure after another. Ron was super attentive and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be back!!

A great time was had by all at this spectacular property. I would highly recommend it!! The pictures don't adequately convey how pretty it is. Check-in and check-out was simple and stress-free. Thanks Ron!!

We had a great time at East Wind! The property manager is the best! This was our 4 th stay in this house. We saw beautiful sunrises every morning. We hope to be able to return to Bald Head and East Wind. Thank you so much!

If you love nature and the beach this is the place. Private location with both marsh and ocean just steps away. My teenagers loved having the downstairs room to hang out in. I have to admit I was a little nervous at first about all the antiques in the house but reading about the history of them was awesome. Very relaxing enjoyable week to get away from the craziness.

East Wind is truly an amazing home! With the ocean on one side and marsh on the other- the views are unbelievable! The nature trail was a hit too! The house was spotless, cozy and had everything we needed. Ron was fabulous to work with too.

This was by far the cleanest and best organized property we have ever stayed at. Being able to go out the back door to the beach or the front door to the marsh, amazing!

Wonderful

Ron was great to work with. Very responsive and helpful. We’ll be back!

East Wind is hands down the best piece of property on Bald Head Island. From the nature trail to the views from the wrap around porch there are breathtaking views everywhere you look. Ron was an absolute pleasure to deal with and was very attentive to our needs. I'd highly recommend East Wind!

Wonderful property, wonderful owner. We have been going to Bald Head for over 15 years, and there is no better place to stay on the island. The home is well furnished, and the surrounding beauty is astounding.

We had a delightful stay at East Wind. The house was clean and comfortable; the furnishings, lovely; the location, spectacular! The property owner was very responsive and helpful throughout, adding to the wonderful experience. What a great pleasure it was to stay at East Wind!

The home is amazing. The artifacts that adorn the home are wonderful. The location provided undisturbed time for peaceful reflection. The home is very clean and well appointed...I love to cook. The views from the rear deck are breathtaking. I wish we didn’t have to leave!!!!

If you're looking for seclusion, this house hits the mark. With the ocean accessible in the back via a short board walk, to dunes on both sides and the marsh in the front, this house offers the perfect views of everything Bald Head has to offer. The home is beautiful as well - 4 good sized bedrooms with views at every angle. Add to that, 16th century furniture and many historical artifacts that round out the house, or should I say, the home. The home is on 40 breath-taking acres. It offers a wonderful nature walk through the marsh. All in all, the best experience in Bald Head Island.

Great home, spectacular location, wonderful views in every direction. Most secluded spot on the island - we had the beach in front all to ourselves. Sad to leave, can’t wait to come back.

Its almost hard to believe this property exists. It is even better than the pictures in my opinion. Everything was well maintained and stocked. Rec room on first level is nice bonus. Views are unreal. Will be looking to book again next year.

This home and its location made for an exceptional Bald Head experience for our family. I don't think we have had a better time in the 17 years we've been going to Bald Head. The home and its artifacts are fascinating. The nature trail and opportunity to learn about plants/animals was a great adventure. This home has everything you need. We like to cook and the kitchen was well stocked and user friendly. We ate dinner every evening at the dining table on the deck with incredible views. The owner gave great instructions that made our time at East Wind simple. Beautiful views, beautiful beach and wonderful, welcoming home. This place is what Bald Head is all about. I can't wait to return.

Our second visit to East Wind was just as great as we remembered our first being. Probably the best location on the island with beach front a few steps away and your own private marsh access to kayak from. The house is appointed with many thoughtful extras that make your vacation that much more effortless! Thanks to Ron for his responsiveness and hospitality!

Our first trip to Bald Head Island was for the beach; we keep coming back for the marsh. Wake up to the sunrise on East Beach and watch the gorgeous sunsets over the marsh. This home is comfortable and well stocked with everything you need for the beach. We have loved every home we have rented at BHI, but the location of this one brought us back for a return visit.

Fantastic location! Lovely home...beautiful property! Excellent attentive owner! By far...the best house I've ever rented on Bald Head Island!

We had a truly wonderful week stay on Bald Head Island at East Wind. The house's pristine location and direct connection to the nature preserve make it an "exclusive" stay that we will never forget. Ron's easy going nature and quick to help demeanor made the whole rental process easy and stress free. The house has more of the feeling of going to a relative's to stay rather than simply a furnished rental, everything gives you the impression that a family story lies behind each item and decoration. The walks on the nature trail and the fishing from the pier made my son very happy. The walks along the secluded beach made me very happy. We have stayed on Bald Head a number of times over the years but this will be the most memorable stay we have ever had.

Our family was privileged to stay at East Wind in early April. From the first phone contact with Ron until the last moment we were there, the experience was beyond expectations. Ron was friendly, informative and completely reliable in his communications. Very assuring when renting sight unseen from across the country. We walked into an immaculate, lovingly furnished home with the warmth and coziness of a favorite relative's home. It was full of interesting shell collections, books about local history and nature, and very cool antiques. Our daughter prepared a scavenger hunt for her 10, 8 and 6 year olds based on the notebook the owners had compiled about the wonderful nature trail. The ocean! Magnificent! The beach walks were heaven. A few short steps from the house. The listing and photos do a good job of representing the home, but it's even better "in person". The local food market is well stocked. "Old Baldy" was fun to visit with a beautiful view at the top of its 108 stairs. The turtle conservancy is a great place to visit, both for kids and adults. The foosball table was fun, and we all appreciated and enjoyed the golf carts. It felt like a lot of thought and consideration went into meeting the needs of vacationing families, and the house was well supplied. It was with reluctance that we said good-bye to this very special place, and we hope to be back.

We loved staying at East Wind this summer! The beach was wonderful, the house amazing. We loved the antiques and the seashell collection. Everything about the house made you realize how many fun summers were had there. It was even more beautiful than in the pictures. Our 4 children adored the nature preserve. They explored daily and saw pelicans, egrets and a host of other animals in their natural habitat. A great sight for those of us usually stuck in the city. It was our 9th summer at Bald Head and East Wind made it the best one yet!

We have been taking vacations at Bald Head for 16 years. Its' natural beauty and privacy are what have always appealed to us. What we also love though is that each time we visit, there are new discoveries. I think we could spend a lifetime at Eastwind and not stop discovering! We have never enjoyed a house on Bald Head as we did Eastwind this past week. It truly must be the most perfect and unique property on the island being situated oceanfront and adjacent to the Middle Island marshes. The latter gave us private access to boardwalks and piers that provided fantastic bird and nature watching as well as best ever fishing. We enjoyed the tennis at Middle Island Club and we loved having 3 carts. Eastwind is a very clean, well cared for and comfortable home with each deck providing a spectacular view. This was our first time renting a VBRO property and the owner was wonderful to deal with. We can't wait to go back and give it the highest recommendation.

Ron & Richard: Thank you so much for the time at the beach! We really appreciate it. Your home is unreal and the property is seriously breath-taking. We walked in an everything was taken care of - coffee ready for brewing, water in the refrigerator, paper towels, etc, seriously everything. The bikes, the umbrella, the kids toys all ready for use was wonderful too. Last thing, but it's a big one... the apartment downstairs - WONDERFUL! When the kids woke up early we could take them down to play, watch tv, eat and everyone in the house didn't wake up. Thank you. We are thinking of coming back for one more week before school starts. By the way, I owe you some coffee. Thanks guys!

Imagine a place on the beach with uninterrupted vistas. East Wind is that. To the north are dunes extending the length of the island without a single house in view. To the west is the beautiful marsh and a few homes on Middle Island several hundred yards away. To the south are the adjoining houses on the street. The closest is 200 yards away. To the east is the ocean. Paradise with no real neighbors but the rest of Bald Head just a golf cart away. The home is beautifully laid out with two bedrooms plus baths on each side of the main living and kitchen area. Would I recommend this home? Enthusiastically yes!!!
