The entire front of the house is lined with 5 1/2 foot windows (and three skylights) facing the ocean which fills the main living area with loads of natural light and gorgeous views. The open gourmet kitchen features Thermador appliances, granite counter tops and is flanked on two sides by a breakfast bar that seats a total of five. A dry bar, stocked with a variety of glassware, offers a beverage refrigerator and ice maker. The upstairs loft has a comfortable seating area with 55 inch, flat screen HD TV with Spectrum TV, along with a game table. In addition, window seats in the dormers provide the perfect spot to read a book. Painted hardwood floors are throughout the house. A large laundry room is also on the first floor.

The home offered plenty of room and privacy for our group of 4 adults and 6 college students. The home is definitely a great vacation spot for all ages and occasions! We love to cook and enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen. The beachfront location is ideal and the views from the house are magnificent. The home was very clean and so nicely decorated. It was nice to have two golf carts to explore the island. Lots of fun was had by all! We will definitely be back and will recommend this lovely home to all our family and friends! REVIEW 5 Stars! Date of Stay -Jun 16, 2017 We enjoyed our stay at Life on the Sea! The location is ideal. We were so happy to find nice beach chairs. The layout worked well for us and we appreciated having private bathrooms off of each bedroom and a separate space for the kids to watch movies. The views and the light in the house because of its windows and its openness make it an uplifting place to be. REVIEW October 2017 We spent a wonderful week here for our daughter's wedding. The house is incredible! We enjoyed being across the street from the ocean. Our 80-year-old grandmother appreciated having her room on the main floor and she had no difficulty with the steps going to the beach. Interestingly we discovered bioluminescent photo plankton on the beach. Stomping the sand or swishing your foot on the sand at night create a dazzling sparkle show. Amazing. The property manager was so helpful and everything went so smoothly could not have asked for a better place or a better property manager. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car not required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 5.5 private bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Flat-screen TV with cable/satellite channels - Games - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the marina - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Golf - Gym - Kayak - Optional golf privileges - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

This was our first time on BHI! Life on the Sea was so convenient to the BHI Club and the Market. We loved that we were right at the beach access and had a large, quiet stretch of beach so close!All of the bedroom suites were comfortable and were beautifully decorated. Each of the four adult couples had plenty of room to spread out in their own space. We enjoyed hanging out in the common areas upstairs and down. My son-in-law was our on-site chef for the week. He found everything he needed in the spacious and well-appointed kitchen. The property had everything we needed. Edie and Katie were attentive to all our questions both before and during our stay.We made so many wonderful memories this week! We will definitely make plans to come back! ##### Kara D.

Life on the Sea is a very comfortable home at BHI. Our multi-generational family had plenty of room to spread out and we loved the location. You can get anywhere on the island very easily. And the beach access is right across from the driveway which made it super convenient with two toddlers! The house is beautifully renovated with cozy furniture and a large kitchen where we enjoyed cooking. The property managers are wonderful to work with and even offered us an extra cart and early check in! Plenty of beach chairs for everyone and a large deck for relaxing and star gazing! We have stayed in many properties on the island and this was a favorite. ##### Mary Ben R. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JANE T.

There were 5 adults and 3 children under 8 in our group. The ferry ride over was magical to the children as well as the adults and everything worked seamlessly. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The beds were comfortable, the location on Silverside Trail was very convenient to the entire island and the beach in front was huge….even at high tide. The property managers were dreamy to work and responded very quickly to every question we had. It’s a wonderful house for families and we hope to return. ##### JANE T.

Life on the Sea accommodated our family of 9 with age ranges 1-70 (4 were children) very well! House is roomy, good kitchen items, lots of porch space, 2 golf carts and close to market! We were disappointed that we could not see the ocean from the main floor or from main floor porches as it is oceanfront property. The proximity to the beach was great especially with children and beach toys/chairs! We did have issues getting TV on and with fridge beeping due to filter change needed. We had a fun week at Life on the Sea! ##### Sue P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gregg W. Dec 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Turkey Day at Bald Head Our trips to Bald Head are always a special time for our family. This year we really enjoy our stay at Silverside! We were in an excellent location across the street from the beach access. The layout of the home excellent for our families, adults and kids had plenty of room to spread out and relax at night and perfect for taking in the morning waves crashing on the porches. The house was clean, well taken care of. The property manager was excellent dealing with. She was very responsive in answering any questions and providing us plenty of details and info leading up to our trip. The only negative we had was one of the golf carts we think needed new batteries. We charged it overnight and everytime we came back to the house and twice during our trip a group of us got stranded and had to push the cart home. Made for a great story and wasn't a huge deal. The trip overall was great and location is a can't beat! Thank you! ##### Gregg W. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hallie W. Jun 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach House Growing Up :) We have stayed at many homes on Bald Head Island, but this was a fan favorite! This house was the perfect combination of being well appointed but not too much so. It reminded us of beach houses we grew up going to, and you can tell a lot of love and care is put into this house. Its location right across from the beach access is wonderful, SUPER easy to get on/off beach. Also, it is on a very private street which dead ends so we never felt like there was any traffic and safe for kids to walk across the road. We had read reviews commenting the golf carts were old. We did not feel that way at all and actually got comments on how plush the seats were! (For context, we have stayed in homes where the carts were much older.) The bunk room was a hit for our 3 kids, 3/5/7. The king bed on the first floor is memory foam, so that took us a night to get used to, but it was very comfortable! Kitchen was well appointed, everything you needed for a week at the beach. I would make sure to bring a fly swatter, when the doors open the flies seem to make their way in :) The only other note I will make is make sure to bring shoes (splinters) and for older adults, you do need to be able to walk up and down a flight of stairs to access the main living spaces :) Bathrooms were small on top floor but not bothersome to us. We would CERTAINLY return, this is a lovely house!! Thank you for allowing us to stay!! ##### Hallie W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lupe R. Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location - priced too high This was our 4th trip to BHI. This house had a great location on the island with access to everything and convenience. For the price we expected a bit more. Beds were not comfortable and squeaky, refrigerator does not have a water line and freezer was not working well. For an island I would think they would not want so much waste of water bottles and would have a filtered water line. We had a family of 10 and went through more than a case a day and had to buy gallon jugs as well. Kitchen faucet while cute was not functional. Bummed there was no ocean view from main level. You can only see the ocean from the top floor 2 bedrooms (not the bonus space). One bedroom with King has the smallest bathroom I've ever used (I left a drawer open and locked my husband inside) and the other bedroom has twin beds. The large golf cart is old and in need of repair (windshield broken, steering was a workout in itself) the second one is old but in decent condition. But all in all a great house, space, access to the beach. Storage and shower under house was fantastic. I would have given it a 5 star if the cost was less but we paid $14k and just expected more. ##### Lupe R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth K.

Easy check in and the house was equipped with everything we needed . Hope to stay again ! ##### Bethany B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Towles L. Jun 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good sea life We all loved the house. Everyone had their own space, which is critical with three teenage girls and one dad, this but the common areas were also adored. We could tell from the pictures we’d like the great room and all of its light. Great location. ##### Towles L. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jane B.

One thing that is needed is flaps for the golf cart when the weather is not so good (rain and cold). ##### Jane B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ashley J. May 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful location Overall we enjoyed our stay. This place is just a few steps to the beach and the sounds and views are so peaceful. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of space for our group to come together but then retreat to our individual rooms for privacy. We unfortunately had an issue with the air condition during our stay but it was addressed in a timely manner. Overall, we enjoyed our time here...beautiful location. ##### Ashley J.

May 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved Life On The Sea My husband and I started vacationing at Captain Charlies in 2004. Along the way, several couples have joined us and now it has become an annual vacation for our group of 6. With Captain Charlies not available for rent this year, I searched for a property that could match that experience. Life on the Sea did that and more. We loved the remodeled house with great kitchen and open floor plan with all the windows, front deck with lots of seating, easy beach access, location on island (close to market and BHI club), beach chairs/towels and great views from the bedrooms. Also, the property management was great. We fortunately didn't need to contact them with any issues during our stay, but good communication and information before and after our trip with texts on first and last days checking in with us. ##### Jayne S.

The house is very well appointed (the most well-equipped house we have stayed in), the beach and location were ideal, and the property managers were extremely responsive and sweet when we reached out with a couple of questions both before and during our vacation. ##### Maia R.
