Professionally decorated and designed to maximize comfort and luxury, Life on the Sea is equipped for a fun and relaxing vacation for your family and friends. We have five comfortable and tastefully decorated bedrooms (Two primaries - one downstairs and one upstairs) each with private bath. Four of the rooms are oceanside with decks. The bunkroom offers a fun sleeping arrangement for the kids. The first floor boasts a large living area with 50-inch, flat screen HD TV and Spectrum TV with large dining table that seats eight. 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. Decking expands the width of the house and is outfitted with several adirondak and rocking chairs. Under the house is a large outside shower and a propane grill. Beach towels are provided. The house comes with a 6-seater and a 4-seater golf cart. Our guests have the opportunity to rent a temporary Lifestyle Membership to the Bald Head Island Club which offers golf, tennis, a fitness club, an extensive aquatic area (kid and adult pools) along with casual and fine dining.

Parties or events are not allowed in the house. REVIEW Date of Stay - March 13, 2016 Five Stars! Our party of 10 enjoyed a wonderful spring break week at Life on the Sea! 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.

This was our first visit to Bald Head Island and we could not have enjoyed our stay more at Life on the Sea. The house is very well appointed, the kitchen is wonderful, common areas are well designed. The location is terrific too. My only disappointment was the lack of usable beach chairs, and prepare to rent your own bikes if biking is something you intend to do. Other than that the place was amazing and I would certainly consider coming back! ##### Amy K. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2017 ### 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.

Oct 29, 2016 #### Couples Only Weekend Three couples spent a long weekend at Life on the Sea on Bald Head Island, NC. The house is breath-taking. The house was much bigger than we needed but the location was absolutely PERFECT. The house had everything we needed. This house comes highly recommended. We ordered all of our meals in advance from the Maritime Market and used the kitchen to warm them each night. The food was excellent. We spent most of our time on the beach; however we did climb the Old Baldy Lighthouse. We also toured the island on our six-seat golf cart. Whether a girls/boys weekend, couples weekend or family vacation, this house and location will not disappoint. Thanks for providing us with a lifetime of memories at Life on the Sea. ##### Angela S. ### 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.

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.
