(5 BR, 4.5BA, 5Q, 2 Golf Carts, Sunday turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 10:30AM / CHECK IN 4:30PM)This five bedroom, 4.5 bath, oceanfront Bald Head Island sanctuary delivers sun-drenched holidays just steps (down the semi-private boardwalk) to sandy South Beach. Cross through the cloistered yard onto the comfortable, covered front porch. Then enter the sunny, vaulted entry where you are welcomed to relax on the gorgeous constructed-in bench. From here, warm hardwoods lead you to the open floor plan’s roomy, natural light-filled living area-an inviting and cozy spot that’s ideal for family games and movie-watching. However, this space’s highlight is its dune vistas through its back wall of windows. Savor that perspective from inside or step out onto the home-length covered back deck, where rocking chairs beckon you to stop and savor briny breezes or grab a snack and munch at the picnic table while listening to waves breaking on the shore. Back inside, the bright, generous dining area, cornered by more walls of windows, offers access to the third outdoor living space-a screened side porch that homes a conversation area as well as a tasteful dining set-ideal for alfresco meals. The home’s multi-chef kitchen bestows an outdoor table as well as a breakfast bar seating for three, stainless appliances and plenty of prep space and storage. On the other side of this level, a cheery Primary Queen suite pampers with three closets, its own ensuite with a tub, shower and double vanity and its own entry to the screened porch. A powder room completes this floor. Upstairs are three more sunlit corner Queen bedrooms. The first and second share a Jack and Jill bath with a double vanity. The latter also features expansive seascapes from inside and through its door to the second level’s home-length sundeck. This perch is where you’ll end your days mesmerized by the beauty of the sun setting over the water. It’s spectacular every evening! Another Queen suite also bestows sun deck entrée and striking Atlantic aspects as well as its own full bath ensuite. Additionally, the laundry is conveniently located on this floor. For those desiring more privacy, the home’s crofter provides its own deck with glimpses of the ocean just outside a thoughtfully appointed Queen suite that features a sitting/TV space and coffee bar with a sink and mini refrigerator. Centrally located between the two clubs, close to the Conservancy and stores, supplying two four-passenger golf carts for guest use, furnishing three outdoor showers, including a fun event deck on the beach access close to the sand as well as WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, one stay at Southwinds will make it your BHI vacation go-to home year after year.
