The home was just handsome. It was clean with great furnishings and supplies. The kitchen was ideal for cooking and eating take out. I was so thankful for the condiments, coffee, plastic wrap and starter supply of household items. The location was a short walk, bicycle ride or golf cart ride to the beach. We adored the Shoals Club most days which was close by. The neighborhood was very peaceful and we appreciated it. This was our first visit th BHI and we will certainly be back. June 2022
We adored this home! Not a detail was overlooked. Kitchen was entirely supplied with everything you could possibly need! Beds and pillows were super comfortable and the linens were very nice. We will be back! July 2022.

This was our first time staying at the Royal Tern, second time in BHI. The home was amazing- from the enormous and airy kitchen and main living space, to the bedrooms, down to the littlest beachy details. The outdoor shower, screened in porch with fan and the bespoke bunk beds were also giant pluses. Comfortably slept our family of 4 and our friend’s family of 3. We’re also humongous fans of the location - the home is a few min.’s ride to Shoals, mike’s bites (iykyk) and the Bald Head Island Conservancy. We had a little health scare with my 4 year old son and they were super helpful with recommendations on and off the island Highly recommend! August 2022.

Royal Tern is a great property if considering a short or long term get away . Residence and its layout was ideal for our family and our girls friends. More than enough space to share or escape as desired . Screened in porch was ideal for morning coffee and entertaining at nighttime . All necessities for a weeks stay were on hand kitchen wise . Great property if looking for a property with character and close proximity to east beach . July 2022.

Our two families fell in adore with this impressive home. It was gorgeously decorated, yet comfortable enough for our kids to make themselves at home. Edie and Katie made sure we had everything we needed to be well-prepared for our first trip to Bald Head Island. We appreciated reading on the porch, playing games around the dining room table, driving the golf carts around the island, and flying the kites at the beach. We can't wait to return! August 2022.
