Testimonials
Perfect retreat for an artist, writer, or anyone looking for a mindful escape.
by Jakob on 06/20/2022
The intentional aspects of the home's design paired with all of the simplistic, yet unique qualities of the entire interior and exteriors of the Saltmarsh Retreat on Middle Island make it one of the best places I've ever stayed in. If you've come for a true retreat, you've come to the right place. It'll take you away if you let it. I suggest spending half a day or more in the hammock and/or the bench down near the marsh with a good book or your journal, moving about only so much to stretch your muscles. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this place. Too much else to list that we thought was wonderful, so in short, it's an excellent place to stay and we look forward to returning one day.
Serene and beautiful retreat
by Karen on 03/24/2022
I absolutely adored the Saltmarsh Retreat and would return in a heartbeat! First of all, it is located on the most beautiful and quiet part of Bald Head Island. Sheltered within a marine forest with views of the salt marsh through the trees, it is a short bike ride to one of the most private stretches of beach on the East Coast. Sitting on any of the many porches was pure delight as the only sounds I heard were those of nearby birds and the distant roar of the sea. The house itself is a design marvel with light pouring through its many windows and the Scandinavian-like decor conveying zen tranquility and spaciousness. The beds are super comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. I especially appreciated the artistic touches throughout. Also, the communication with the management was superb. I highly recommend this unique home without reservation!
Enchanting Hideaway
by Emily on 02/21/2022
We enjoyed a wonderful winter weekend at Saltmarsh Retreat. Our kids loved exploring the trails and marsh, and lovely beach accesses were an easy cart ride away. The house was very comfortable and allowed the surrounding natural beauty to shine through. We are already plotting a return visit!
Our Favorite Home Away from Home
by Kamaron on 11/09/2021
We love Saltmarsh Retreat. Everything about the home and location is perfect for us. The house is always clean and the golf carts are great. Very family friendly as well, our toddler loves it! Thank you and we can't wait for our next visit!
Wonderful!
by Candace on 10/25/2021
House was wonderful, beds were comfortable, three golf carts was a huge bonus. There was only one bike, and the kitchen needs a little organization but we had everything needed. BHI services was very helpful.

Wonderful And special place on a beautiful part of the island. Thank you for sharing this special place with our family.
Great Place / Great Stay!
by Dennis on 01/07/2021
This place was perfect for us. The design and craftmanship is extraordinary. We loved it. Why it isn't featured in architecture publications I don't know. The stainless steel custom handrail is a marvel. Wonderful natural light, a great kitchen, comfortable layout, well maintained golf carts and, and, and... I could go on. Bald Head is a retreat itself and this place is a retreat from Bald Head. We predict that someone is going to write an important book or song while staying at this place. It sort of says, "You are away now. Let what's in there out. Thanks for creating such a great place.
We'll be back.
A perfect retreat
by Ann on 12/23/2020
This property offered a perfect anniversary getaway. Arriving at the house from the tram ride, we felt like we were deep in a secluded tropical forest! A couple of unique features include a deck off the upper level that provides a great spot for stargazing, a screened-in sleeping porch, fragrant rosemary bushes at the entrance, walking paths and salt marshes to explore, and close proximity to east beach. With the openness and thoughtful contemporary decor, we even very much enjoyed spending one rainy day inside. We loved the house and location so much, we re-arranged our schedules to stay an extra day and are looking forward to returning soon.
5 Star
by Karla on 10/04/2020
LOVE this house!! Like living in a treehouse. Simple (but perfect) decor. The owners have thought of everything, it is so easy to walk into this house and find everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked which makes it so fun to cook in. LOVE IT>
Best marsh and sea kayaking anywhere
by Augustus on 10/31/2019
Eight friends brought four sea kayaks to Bald Head. Two by ferry and two paddled over from Southport. We paddled six out of seven days up and down the creeks and though the marshes. We saw lots of shore birds and a sea turtle and a marsh hawk. Paddled one day to the village and had lunch.Beautiful house and location.
Another Great Week at BHI
by Rebecca on 07/08/2019
This house worked amazing for our group of two families and all of our kids. Space to spread out when needed, but the ability to all eat together family style for dinner. The kids entertained themselves for hours with the easy access to the marsh and the dock for fishing and crabbing. Spotlessly clean and well appointed. Had a flat tire on the 4th of July in the cart, and management even contacted us on the holiday to help sort it out!
Cozy, comfortable and casual.
by Allison on 05/20/2019
This tree house on private Middle Island was the perfect retreat for our family vacation. The open floor plan on the top floor made for a fun social setting. The set up was safe and kid friendly. The ping pong table and TV room an added bonus. Beds and bathrooms simple and accommodating. The home was private and secluded. We really enjoyed our stay at the Saltmarsh Retreat and can't wait to return! Thank you for providing a memorable experience for our family!
Saltmarsh Retreat was the BEST!!!!!
by Suzanne on 04/28/2019
My family enjoyed this home so much. From making the reservations to the day we left was perfect! If there was a problem, the BHIS was on it immediately. Everything surpassed our expectations, we WILL be back! The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the view was spectacular...It is a treehouse in the forest, so private and the wildlife was wonderful to watch. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Wonderful!
by Christopher on 03/18/2019
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Saltmarsh Retreat as we were on the Island to support our daughter on the 51 mile Cape Fear Badwater race (she finished in 10 hours 50 minutes!). The house is in a tranquil location and was well equipped for six adults and one child. Will definitely return!
