10 Sumner’s Crescent, aka O’ACES, was refreshed in 2021, and features a new open kitchen and living area. The kitchen has granite counters, a full height granite backsplash, and waterfall edge. The counter has seating for 5. It has a high-end commercial, vintage style, iLve 5 burner gas range with a convection gas/electric oven and warming drawer. It also has a GE cafe French door, freezer bottom refrigerator, with an ice maker. The kitchen has a enormous stainless under-mount sink, a Quiet Bosch dishwasher with silverware shelf, and a garbage disposal.
The main home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry room on the first floor. There is also a long screened-in porch running the length of the back of the home with a door to it from each of those bedrooms.
The second floor is open concept, with the kitchen, dining area (comfortably seating up to 8), family room, gas (remote operated) fireplace, and game area. There is also a half bath & a deck with lounge chairs on the upper level.
The home has a separate crofter above the golf cart garage with an additional bedroom, bathroom & closet/mini-kitchenette. The crofter has its own deck with a seating area, shaded under an ancient oak tree.
The main home has a tankless hot water heater so that you, and everybody in your family, can take a long warm/hot shower on vacation without fighting over the hot water. A rare treat!
O’ACES is located adjacent to the BHI Conservancy, right by Mike’s Bites & Captain Charlie’s. It is just under 2 blocks to the Beach, between Beach Access 35 & Beach Access 36.
You can Walk to the Shoal’s Club, Beach Access 39, East Beach, Cape Fear Station, and much more!
2 of the bedrooms have King beds.
1 bedroom has a queen bed and 3 twin beds, bunked. There are also 2 blowup twin beds, and a portable crib.
The home has a separate garage, with 2 golf carts. One golf cart is included in the rental rate. There is an additional golf cart available for rent on a daily or weekly basis.
Both golf carts are 4 seaters. One is a 2012 Club Car & the other is a 2023 Bentelli with a back up camera & a cell phone charger.
There is an additional washer & dryer in the closet in the garage. We find it’s Great for sandy towels & bathing suits or Crofter laundry.
There is a private/enclosed outdoor shower behind the garage with plenty of hooks for all of your bathing suits, waders and towels.
There are other goodies in the garage and storage area behind it that you can borrow. (Bikes, a bicycle tire pump, golf cart blankets, beach chairs, beach toys, body boards, casting nets, crabbing nets, etc.)
We are members of the Shoal’s Club, so you can buy a temporary membership to it for your stat. Please note, that both clubs have added an administrative fee of $100 if your temporary membership is not processed 7-10 days before your arrival. Starting in 2022, the Clubs are now charging per person, per week for anyone 6 years and older using the Club (instead of the per bedroom charge covering the home). In high season & many holidays, the Shoal’s Club is closed to temporary members on Mondays & the BHI Club is closed to temporary members on Saturdays & Sundays. Shoal’s Club paperwork can be done directly on their website, and you can pay the club directly with your credit card at the time you sign up or by phone at least 7 days before you arrive. The Club’s website has information about the services, activities, and the dining options they offer. It is updated fairly regularly & changes frequently.
We were hoping to do Friday to Friday or Sunday to Sunday units in order to avoid Saturday to Saturday units which are so (maybe too) fashionable. We thought many guests might want to avoid the most trendy turnover day, for ease of ferry and tram reservations/booking, etc. The lines for the ferries are much more busy on Saturday. However, we are flexible if you prefer Saturday. We encourage you to consider Friday to Friday, another weekday, or Sunday.
Starting with the first week of June 2023, the ferry ticketing system has become electronic, with the ability to make reservations for each ferry. Here is a link to their website and frequently asked questions:
https://www.baldheadislandferry.com/faq-new/
You can also purchase electronic tickets by downloading their app, found by searching “bald head island” in the App Store. The tickets can be stored in your Apple wallet.
If you are flying into RDU or Wilmington ILM, and don’t want to rent a car just to leave it at the ferry parking lot (and pay for that daily parking), we have a list of drivers that can take you and your friends/family to and from ILM or RDU and the ferry. If you forget anything, or want to pick up some items that are not convenient to fly with, we have drivers that will stop on the way.
We can’t wait to welcome you to our home.
We welcome any questions you may have.
And now, “Things we thought we’d never need to write in the home instructions”
for $1,000, Alex:
1. Do not sit on the roof of the home or the crofter.
2. GOLF CARTS: Do not drive the golf carts on the beach or off road. Please be very mindful of the tires. Golf cart tires are not meant to be driven on streets in general, and there has been a lot of construction on the island lately, so there are nails and other sharp debris; drive carefully. You are responsible for any popped tires, and any unusual wear and tear to the tires. You must have a valid drivers’ license, and be 16 or older to operate a golf cart. Do not drive golf carts or bicycles under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Please hose off the golf carts when you are finished with them and remove any trash.
3. There is a hose by the garage, and another one by the front door, for your feet, your kids’s feet, your dog’s feet, and anything else that went to the beach that is not going to stay in the garage or outside.
4. Beach toys & Garage items: please feel complimentary to use any beach toys, beach chairs, beach towels, casting nets, etc. that you find, but please return them hosed off and where you found them. We are happy to share these items with you, but we can’t continue, if you don’t respect them. In the cooler months, there is a bin full of golf cart blankets to the left of the carts in the garage.
5. Please respect our games, books, china, crystal, and nice linens. We want to share these items with you, but we can only continue to do so if you return them how you found them in generally the same place. It’s simple if you take a photo.
6. If you choose to rearrange the furnishings, please put it back how you found it.
7. Please do not put food on the walls or under furnishings or beds.
8. All recycling should be taken to the recycling center by the dump and Public Safety, near the Market. Recycling is not picked up by the trash people on Bald Head Island. If you fill the outside trash bins, please go to the dump, which is located by Public Safety. The trash people will not pick up any excess trash.
Thanks!
