This was our 2nd time staying at Bald Head Diamond and we loved it just as much as the first time. Perfect for a two people and the walkability to everything in the marina is awesome. Very clean and comfortable and the upstairs deck has amazing views. We would have liked to have had 2 chairs on the screened porch but that was the only issue we had.

The location was ideal and the house was so adorable. The only problem was there wasn’t any place to put clothes away. My partner used the coffee table downstairs to keep his things but overall it was a great place. Hugh was very good to work with and the Shoals Club was the best part!

Perfect for Couple's Getaway!

We really enjoyed Hugh's property. The sunrise marsh view from the loft and porch was the highlight for sure! From the towel of the golf cart to the well appointed kitchen and living spaces, they really had everything we needed to enjoy a quick get away. This was our first overnight trip to Bald Head but definitely not the last!

Bald Head Diamond is a great cottage for a couple. Cozy, quiet, and quaint. Within easy walking distance of Jules, bike rentals, and boat gazing in the harbor. Hugh was a very friendly and responsive host.

Wonderful retreat

The cottage was everything and more than what you read in the listing. Equipped with everything you could possibly need and the property manager was easy to work with. The location is a perfect location from which to explore the island and it’s worth it to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase a guest past to the Shoals Club, which is first class. We can’t wait to visit again.
