Welcome to Shell Cottage on Bald Head Island!

Welcome to Shell Cottage on Bald Head Island!

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at Shell Cottage, and we highly recommend it! Dianne, the owner, is an excellent communicator and was responsive to our requests and questions throughout.The overall feel of Shell Cottage is spacious due to its clever three-level layout, thoughtfully designed and well-organized with just the right touches for relaxing stays on Bald Head. Everything is clean and very well-maintained. The main floor of the Cottage offers lovely decor along with plenty of comfortable seating. While at first glance the kitchen appears small, it is extremely organized and well-fitted for prepping a multi-course meal or for assembling casual snacks and left-overs. The owners have thought of everything, including very much appreciated high quality cookware and appliances along with proper table/glassware and utensils. The ground and upper floors each offer a very comfortable bedroom and bath with good storage, generous linens and pillows, along with plenty of beach towels. We’ve been visiting Bald Head since the mid-80s, and Cape Fear Station is our favorite location on the island. We’ve stayed in several rental homes nearby, choosing different sizes depending on how many family and friends join us. Shell Cottage is now one of our favorites, and we look forward to returning."
