South Beach Oceanfront Home w/Stunning Views, Wraparound Deck, Tons of Natural Light, BHI Club
Washashore is an inviting 3-bedroom, 3-bath beachfront retreat located on Bald Head Island’s scenic South Beach. With walls of windows throughout, this one-level home is filled with natural light and sweeping ocean views from the kitchen, dining area, and living room. Step outside onto the spacious wrap-around deck to soak in salty breezes, enjoy sunset skies, or simply relax to the sound of the waves. Its central island location means you’re just a short golf cart ride from the harbor, Maritime Market, and the Bald Head Island Club.
Thoughtfully equipped for easy beach living, Washashore provides everything you need for a day by the ocean, including beach chairs, toys, and a large cooler. The shaded ground-level area offers additional space to relax, store gear, or prep for your beach adventures, making coming and going a breeze.
Inside, the open floor plan creates a welcoming space for gathering and unwinding. The home has been tastefully updated with fresh furnishings, updated flooring, new carpeting, paint, and HD flat-screen TVs throughout. The bedroom layout is ideal for one or two families, with each bedroom featuring its own private bathroom. The third bedroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements with a king bed plus a twin with trundle—perfect for adults or kids alike.
If you've never been to Bald Head Island, you're in for a real treat. You'll love driving the well kept golf carts or bicycling along the beach road or through the lush Maritime Forest. Visit Old Baldy, the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina, and learn about the Island's pirate and Civil War history. Join the Conservancy and take a turtle walk where you might see a loggerhead turtle lay her eggs or watch a nest hatch.
Fresh linens and towels are included in the cleaning fee.

Great time at Washashore!
My family of 4 had a great week on Bald Head Island. Our time at Washashore was a perfect getaway. While the exterior needs sprucing up a bit / the interior was up date, clean and comfortable. ITrip team was great - very responsive and communicative.
Washashore is a lovely home! We found this home very clean, beautifully decorated, and it’s convenient location and oceanfront views were exceptional. Thank you for providing us a dream getaway. We’ll be back!

Happy Renter
The house was located in a perfect spot on the shore, with incredible views from 2 sides. House was clean and very comfortable. We would definitely love to rent again!!
We thoroughly enjoyed this property. It is beautiful inside and very clean. Beds were extremely comfortable and the location is perfect for a quiet setting. Would definitely come back!
This was one of the best vacations we have been on. Washashore was so perfect and has beautiful views. We absolutely loved how big the windows. We look forward to staying here again.
The Washashore is a perfectly located home . It is well laid out and was the perfect size for two couples and kids. South beach at sunset is gorgeous ! It was great that we had the option to
“Belong” to the beach club for the week.. we enjoyed our stay!

Great Fall Trip to BHI!
We had a fantastic trip again this year to BHI, even with Tropical Storm Ophelia! No issues with the storm and Washashore was a great house with a fantastic panoramic view of South Beach! We will definitely rent this house again!!
We love this house so much! The entire front and sides are covered with big windows, so it’s a view everywhere you look. Great accommodations, very clean, easy access to anything you need on the island. It’s only a 5 minute golf cart ride to shops. Perfect vacation!
We loved the wall of windows to the south and east and the decks on those sides as well. Very comfortable lodgings with fully equipped kitchen and wonderful location right on the beach. We saw the full moon rise and the sun set at the same time. Golf carts worked fine. All in all a very comfortable stay.

3rd time and still a charm!!!
This is our 3rd stay at Washashore in the past 5 years. Last year we stayed on BHI in a different rental but missed Washashore and immediately booked for this year. The house is the perfect size for a small group or just the two of us. The windows and views are incredible. The house is very close to the island's center, making it convenient to the grocery and anywhere else you want to take a golf cart ride. Add in the amazing team at iTrip and it makes a perfect getaway!!!
Excellent location with a fantastic panoramic view of South Beach. The beach is massive and never crowded. Open floor plan all on one level is comfortable and outside shower was a hit. Central location makes for short golf cart trips to the marina, market or East Beach. Cycling on the island is a favorite. Support from iTrip staff was always prompt.
The house was wonderful! Perfect! My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary so it was just the two of us - there was a lot of extra room so I hope to come back with my family! It was close to the beach access and a great spot to watch the sunset. The house had everything you could want and was clean and well kept. The iTrips folks were extremely responsive and accomodating! I would love to stay there again!
Great location and easy access to the beach - gorgeous views and sunsets. Very clean, with comfortable living and sleeping areas. Gas stovetop, double ovens, and propane gas grill made cooking user friendly and enjoyable.
Dishwasher could be updated and 2nd outside trash can should be added. Excellent communication with ITrip staff.

Fall Break
We enjoyed our stay! We rent a home on bald head once or twice a year and just love the feeling of being a world away. The views were beautiful from this home and convenient to two beach access locations. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean. We did have an issue with the plumbing in one of the bathrooms and received prompt communication from itrip in efforts to find a resolution. The living room /dining room/ kitchen are open concept which was wonderful for dining and entertaining friends that were visiting BHI as well. We would recommend this home!
We come to Bald Head every summer, and this year we decided to extend our stay and got lucky finding this cottage at the last minute. The cottage is super sunny, and central to almost everything on the island including the Market, BHI Club, and close to East Beach! The spacious kitchen was well stocked with all of the essentials, and the house has amazing views of the ocean from most of the rooms. Also the property management company was super-responsive. We had an issue with one of the golf carts and they took care of it proactively and kept us in the loop while it was quickly repaired. We’d stay here again.
Being a beachfront property some of the roads had flooded the week before during a storm that dumped 20 inches of rain on Southport .
Greg, from iTripNC, made sure we got to the house since the trams were not working .
It is a bright sunny house and the sunsets were lovely . Bedrooms are spacious . Kitchen well equipped.
We wish there had been instructions for working the TV but a relaxing ,comfortable spot .
First VRBO I didn’t want to leave. House was perfect for a family of 4. Had room for 4 more. House was very clean and basically brand new interior. Kitchen was fully equipped with new appliances, including washer and dryer. No need to bring tubs of groceries or etc.. we ordered groceries delivered from maritime market before our arrival. 2 min walk to beach (or 4 houses down). We were visiting with 3 families 4 doors down . Location was perfect near grocery and shopping. Literally middle of island location. 2 golf carts were fully charged and functional. Both in good shape. We highly recommend this home.

Stay at Washashore
The house was nicely situated right by the beach with fantastic views of the ocean. The process by which we entered the house was nicely documented. No issues with gaining access to the house. The house was very clean. My only complaint would be that some of the towels were stained a bit. We did have an issue with the golf carts. iTrip was very, very response and had are issue resolved in under 30 minutes. All in all we had a great time.
Good location, no bathrooms, or shower outside of the bedrooms
Well stocked, good location. Sleeps 8 if you have a couple with six kids or two couples and four kids, etc.— but there are three bedrooms— and each bedroom requires sharing beds. If anyone sleeps on the couch at night, there is no bathroom for them. They have to go into a bedroom and use it. Same goes for the shower.We had one adult and three of my kids who brought a friend each-one brought two friends. Three boys in one room, two boys in another room, and two girls in a room, which means Dad gets the couch, which is fine but again there’s no bathroom without headed into a bedroom. Fine when traveling with kids but if you’re going for a guys trip or a girls trip I wouldn’t recommend it unless you want to share a bed with someone.

The best view!
We just spent 6 nights at Washashore with two adults, a 7 year old, 3 year old, and 8 month old. The layout of the house is perfect for vacationing with little kids because it’s just one level with the bedrooms branching off the living / kitchen so it’s easy to keep an eye on the kids. The view is the absolutely best! We loved the big windows that made it feel like we were outside even when we were stuck inside on a rainy day. We used both golf carts to get around the island all day and did not feel like the slowed down at all. We kept them on the charger at the house but had no issue with the golf carts losing any speed. We were impressed with how fast the golf carts would go. We rode the two bikes, used the beach chairs / towels, and sand toys. It was nice that the house had these things so we didn’t have to bring them. We enjoyed our evening walks to the cul de sac with the kids and felt like this was the best locations for an ocean view while being really close to jailhouse, midway coffee, the market and more. Just a 10 min golf cart ride to the marina and a little less to the turtle conservatory. Best part - THE SUNSET! We will definitely try to book here the next time we visit BHI.

2nd stay, just as great as the first!
This is my second stay at Washashore in the last year and it was wonderful! We had a very relaxing January weekend, you can't beat the view. We had everything we needed at the house and it was clean and well appointed, comfortable. Would definitely recommend and will probably stay again in the future!

Perfect winter sunsets
This is our 4th time staying at Washashore, and it never disappoints. It is starting to feel like our second home. We highly recommend Washashore for anyone who is looking for incredible ocean views, on a private street, and with easy access to all island amenities. The iTrip team is extremely helpful in making sure you have an amazing trip. We will be back again next year!

Incredible location
Washashore was a great place to spend our family Thanksgiving. We have been to BHI several times for the holiday and this was probably the best experience. There are 2 beach access points right on Silversides trail an easy walk from the home. The view is incredible from the main living room and deck. The home has all the things you would expect and was as described. Would definitely stay again.
