(5BR, 5BA, SL10, 4Q/2TW, 2 Golf Carts, Saturday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 10:00 A.M./CHECK IN 5:30 P.M.) Nestled on a picket-fenced, private corner lot in prestigious Cape Fear Station, this custom-built five bedroom, five-bath Charleston-style retreat, is an easy walk to Bald Head's popular East Beach and offers Maritime Forest serenity just steps from Access 42. The deep front porch welcomes you to linger and listen to the sound of breaking waves. Inside, the foyer of this reverse-floorplan reveals some of its custom details-including hardwoods and wainscoting. To the right, a light-filled corner Queen suite with desk proffers a large ensuite bath with a walk-in closet, water closet, jetted tub, tiled shower and double granite vanity. Next door, a sunny suite with two Twins grants forest vistas and its own full bath with a tub/shower. Across the hall, another bright corner Queen suite also provides a walk-in closet and ensuite full bath with a tub/shower. Upstairs, the Queen Primary suite boasts not only a walk-in California closet and ensuite with a tub/shower but also accesses one of the home's top-level screened porches - the ideal spot for a quiet read enjoying briny breezes. Beyond, this level's living space's open floor plan is crowned by a high, vaulted, beamed ceiling and soaked in natural light from its surrounding windows. The comfortable conversation area is anchored by a gas fireplace and tenders naturescapes on all sides plus egress to both second-story screened porches. Nearby the generous dining space is furnished with a stylish dining set. Savor meals and outdoor views from here or by dining alfresco on the home's dining deck-situated between the main house and the crofter. The chef's kitchen delights with stainless appliances, granite counters, a double sink, breakfast bar, a designer backsplash and attractive custom cabinets. This floor also houses the laundry. For those preferring more privacy, the home's crofter-just down the boardwalk and adjacent to the deck-extends a vaulted Queen suite with serene treetop views, a full bath with a pedestal tub and its own private balcony. Conveniently located, close to the beach, the Shoals Club and the Conservancy and equipped with beautiful bikes for tooling around the Island and providing access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, don't miss making The Hermitage your Island vacation hideaway!

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was comfortable but needed better turnover cleaning for arrival, replacement of a few things like a toilette seat that’s stained, a better stocked kitchen with the essential cooking utensils. Also, in general the house should be better stocked with home items, extra towels, soaps, tp, etc. ##### Karen A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neha P. 1 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Neha P.
