Ocean Front Renovated - Steps To Beach- 4BR 3 Full 2 Half BA Bhi Club Pet
"La Dolce Vita" on Bald Head Island Highlights: Sleeps 10 in 4 bedrooms - King Master Suite, King Guest Bedroom, Bunk Room with 1 Bunk Bed and 2 additional Twins, and a Queen bed in the crofter. 3 Full and Two Half Baths BHI Club* One 6 Seat Golf Cart Drip Coffee Maker and Keurig Bedding and Towel Linen Service Beach Chairs, Umbrella, Toys and Towels Provided
Imagine the perfect seaside vista and you will find it here at "La Dolce Vita" with private boardwalk to the pristine sand on Bald Head's South Beach . Stunning renovation in 2020, this is the perfect home-away-from-home for your BHI adventure. Remodeled from top to bottom, this beautifully decorated four bedroom duplex (SLEEPS 10) is nestled in desirable Flora's Bluff with amazing views of the ocean and majestic sunsets.
You will fall in love the moment you enter by the grand open floor plan surrounded by windows with the sunlight streaming in. Top of the Line everything starts with the new fully stocked gourmet kitchen which boasts all new marble countertop, stainless steel appliances, and cookware. The breakfast bar, wine bar and other amenities will set the scene for the cook in your family to serve up memorable meals. The dining room seats 10 and is perfect for large family enjoyment. Entertaining is easy with the open living room concept allowing everyone to be a part of the fun. All this leads to the private front porch to take in the sun and serenity of this ideal island location.
The second floor features a luxurious master bedroom with king bed and new gloriously tiled bathroom.. The open, second-floor porch off the master bedroom offers expansive oceanfront views usually found in multimillion dollar homes—and there’s ample room for reading, relaxing, cocktail hours or just gazing at the rolling surf. This just may become your secret retreat for early morning coffee and sunset toasts to the day enjoyed.
The second bedroom on this level features another king bed and another full bathroom.
Kids of all ages (adult kids too) will discover a wonderful retreat up one level with multiple beds with a half bath sleeping 4 comfortably. This level has amazing ocean views.
You will find everyone bargaining to stay in the cottage/crofter attached by a deck from the main house which exudes lots and lots of charm. This room with new bathroom has a queen bed and plenty of privacy. Two families can certainly find enough space to be together and separate in this home.
Families, and friends will find a great spot outside to relax on the private fenced patio for grilling, dining and providing a safe area for children to play.
*A temporary guest Lifestyle membership to the Bald Head Island Club for enjoyable access to golf, tennis, pools, dining and other activities may be available for separate purchase.
The owners will see that all your needs are accommodated. Our full time on island home manager will go the extra mile to help guests feel special and welcome. A brand new six seat golf cart, beautiful beach bikes and beach chairs/umbrella will make your stay so enjoyable as you experience all that BHI has to offer. Please note that while we guarantee the availability and condition of the golf cart, we cannot guarantee the condition of the bikes.
We are quite sure we will see you again and again as you experience "La Dolce Vita".

This incredible place is just like the photos. It is extremely clean and well-kept. They had everything you would need, and it is in a perfect location.
Tropical Storm Debby made an appearance during our trip, but Tyler and Barbara made us feel at ease and comfortable with their regular communication about the storm and the island status. The home was clean and lovely!
Our house was spectacular and Tyler and Barbara were stellar hosts.
The house was steps to the most expansive beach I’ve ever seen and stocked incredibly well. We had a ball even with the threat of idalia (hurricane) breathing down our necks. Barbara and Tyler kept us informed and stocked with flashlights in case the storm became problematic. All in all 10/10!

We were very pleased with our rental week on this property!Ideally located near the market and shops, the BHI Club, Shoals Club and on beautiful South beach with private walkway access.Property was clean, well designed and decorated and the kitchen was extremely well equipped.Nice having the separate crofter. And third floor was great for the grandchildren.TVs in all bedrooms, too.We had a problem with the outside shower and the management staff ( Tyler) responded immediately and fixed it.

We were thrilled to find this house with rare last minute availability when our previous vacation plans changed. This home could not have been more perfect for our family; it's easily one of the best-equipped vacation homes we've ever stayed in (we average 2-3 rentals a year for the last 20 years). Husband and I are both chefs and found the kitchen to be more than adequately stocked. Kids loved the toys and games provided and the bedrooms were all perfectly comfortable and we had a ton of room to spread out. We also appreciated how quiet it was despite being a duplex--we never once heard the people in the unit next to us. Tyler the property manager was super responsive, professional and went out of his way to assist us with our reservation and various requests. Fantastic hospitality all around; we won't hesitate to rent this home again.
The house was beautiful! We have stayed in several other houses on Scotch Bonnett, and this one was amazing! And we loved being able to bring our dog!!! Thanks for a great week!! Would def rent again!!
We enjoyed the many spots to read and maybe even work a bit! The crofter was truely lovely - did not feel like an outpost, but rather a lovely retreat. I would highly recommend all kinds of groups.

Everything was absolutely perfect! Tyler was wonderful to work with! Can’t wait to come back!
We Loved our stay at Flora's bluff. The house was newly renovated, clean and bright. The location is very central and easy to get to the stores and all parts of the island. The beach outside the house is great for kids, not a lot of people and the waves are a bit more tame.
We absolutely loved our stay! The house is beautiful and clean. The location was amazing. We all loved the outdoor shower to keep the sand out of the house. Barbara and Tyler are so helpful and kind. We definitely plan to visit again soon!
This ocean front property was recently renovated with state of the art stove/oven, flooring, kitchen appliances as well as all of the comforts of home. It was very spacious and inviting for a large family and was conveniently located to the grocery store and many amenities. Would definitely book again. The property managers were friendly and promptly addressed my questions .
Barbara was a great host, very easy to speak to and quick on replies, which is much appreciated. The home was perfect! VERY, VERY clean and beautiful. The property and home are well maintained. The house was clean, it had new furniture, a great layout, a well-stocked kitchen with nice upgrades like the Vitamix, and is in a great location. We walked to the beach almost daily. The walk is 1-2 min and easy since you take the wood path straight to the beach. The beaches are not crowded in this area which is nice, and it was great taking a morning stroll to the point. This is a perfect house for families, TVs in every room, well-maintained bikes, bunks for the kids and the “Crofter” for the grandparents. It has a wonderful layout for a wonderful family vacation.
We have previously stayed in other homes in BHI but going forward we will plan to stay here. Thank you so much, we had an excellent trip!
Well furnished, clean, good communication with the property manager. Door to crofter wouldn’t shut without someone on both sides helping force it shut which made it difficult to keep bugs out. Manager was aware and was sympathetic but it was a difficult situation as the door likely needed to be replaced which would have been a big undertaking with renters present. Upstairs balcony has a beautiful view but the amount of furniture felt lacking (two chairs and small table) and made it difficult to accommodate a group of the size the home is marketed to. The couches are very nice but lacked any throw pillows and were covered with a cheap protector, not a slip cover. This would be a 4 star review if it weren’t for the door issue which hopefully will be fixed, but certainly impacted our stay.
