Step back in time and reconnect with family and friends at Beacon Point Inn, your ideal vacation home located in the heart of Bald Head Island. Beacon Point Inn has 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and can accommodate up to 10 guests. This is a one-of-a-kind Bald Head Island beach hideaway. Conveniently located near the marina and the Old Baldy Lighthouse. Feel impressive vistas of the Oak Island Lighthouse, Cape Fear River, and the Atlantic Ocean, where you can watch ships and local fishermen pass by—creating the ideal backdrop for your gatherings.
Upon entering the first floor of the main home of Beacon Point Inn, which accommodates up to 10 guests, you'll find a comfortable gathering area with a designated wet bar and a game/puzzle library. Bedrooms are located on the first and second floors of the main home, including four bedrooms on the first floor and a primary bedroom on the second floor. The first-floor bedrooms are cozy, each with an en-suite bathroom, including one with a king bed (tub/shower) and three with queen beds (shower). A new washer and dryer are conveniently located on the first-floor level. The primary bedroom is located in a private setting on the second floor and offers a pretty balcony.
The thoughtfully designed reverse floor plan of the main home showcases enormous windows, filling the space with beautiful vistas of West Beach and the Cape Fear River—really an impressive backdrop for cherished family memories. Gather around the cavernous living area or appreciate al fresco dining on the covered porch while relishing gorgeous sunset reflections over the water. The comfortable, well-equipped kitchen features a wrap-around bar, a separate coffee bar area (complete with a coffee pot, Keurig, Nespresso, and electric tea kettle), a gas range, granite countertops, and bespoke cabinetry, making it ideal for culinary adventures and family meals.
This southern gem, with its broad covered wrap-around porch and decks, is not just about space—it's about hosting a amazing vacation experience. Unwind, unplug, and take some time to savor one of the many rocking chairs while sharing conversations and creating memories.
Need more space? The Beacon Point Inn Compound also features the Lightkeepers Cottage, which you can rent alongside the main home. Lightkeepers Cottage is a beautiful two-bedroom, two-bath space that accommodates up to 8 guests and features a cozy central sitting room, ideal for appreciating morning coffee. The first bedroom features a roomy king bed, while the second bedroom features two bespoke double bunk beds designed for adults and kids alike, complete with a queen-sized bottom bunk and an additional-huge twin bed on top. Both bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms.
After a day at the beach, enjoy additional family activities with ample game space in the garage, including a ping pong table, 4-across game, cornhole, and other outdoor games. You’ll have access to eight owner-supplied bicycles, body boards, beach chairs, and beach shade, along with an additional full-sized refrigerator for additional drink and food storage. A traditional gas grille and a flat-top grille are available for outdoor dining options (please note that amenities are not guaranteed and may change at any time). Guests also benefit from supplied 6-seater and 4-seater club carts, with additional charging space available for optional rental carts. The close by beach access, just steps from your front door, is a local favorite for fishing, boasting some of the best spots on the island.
As a additional, enhance your experience with the option of a temporary membership (available for separate purchase) at the esteemed Bald Head Island Club. Temporary Membership includes access to golf, dining, pool, exercise, tennis, pickleball, and croquet. Guests must have a temporary BHI Club membership to access the club. Once you’ve booked Beacon Point Inn and/or Lightkeepers Cottage, please reach out to the club immediately to secure your reservation, as memberships are limited and tend to sell out quickly, especially during peak periods.
Designed for togetherness, Beacon Point Inn also includes peaceful corners ideal for reading and more intimate conversations away from the bigger group. Reconnect with nature, indulge in relaxation, and create lasting memories at Beacon Point Inn—where the appeal of Bald Head Island awaits you. With 14 miles of pristine beaches right at your doorstep, you'll find the ideal setting for cherished memories made together.
