Hiya summer friends! We made it to Bald Head Island for our annual family beach trip! I can’t believe we haven’t been here in a year. As usual we’re renting an oceanfront house to be right on the beach (and our family’s marsh house is rented out too, so it’s kind of a wash.) It’ been exciting now that we have three grandchildren. Next summer we will have four (my sister is 26 weeks pregnant!) We’ve had dinners of homemade veggie lasagna, mahi mahi, and an epic appetizer spread at the Shoal’s Club. Birch cried when we put his toes in the ocean, but he liked the pool a lot! He seems to like the beach if we don’t take him near the surf. The Bald Head Island Club just finished a HUGE resort-style pool complex with tons of child and toddler-friendly amenities plus a new restaurant. It’s such a great addition to the island. I’ll see you guys later with more pics – follow us on Instagram @Katheats in the meantime!

You guys always stay in such great rentals! Do you use Airbnb to find them or another source?
KathEats says
The island has a lot of good rental companies – but there are VRBO types too. Check out Wendy Wilmot and Bald Head Limited!

I just got back from there!! Love tbe Club’s updates- my girls thought the slides were amazing. Our place is in the marsh also. It’s so peaceful there.
KathEats says
Awesome! Which street are you on?! Maybe we’re neighbors 🙂
Shara says
We’re in Keepers.
KathEats says
Oh nice! We love to walk on the docks there
Mary says
Looks like you’re having a ball. Back when we lived in Williamsburg we went to a friend’s place in Rodanthe – magical! Ever eaten at Little Star (a tapas place?) Dan recommends it and they even had great vegetarian options according to him. Enjoy your time with your family!
KathEats says
I haven’t heard of it! I’ve read the book Nights in Rodanthe though!
Mary says
Little star is in Charlottesville, not the Outer Bankds, fyi. I never read the book, but we did watch the cheesy movie of the same name while we were staying there ?
KathEats says
Oh right! Duh! No I haven’t been yet but I want to go! I hear the cocktails are great.
Abby says
So excited to see the full recap! We are going in August with our baby girl who is only 2 days apart from Birch! Have so many questions about how to do Bald Head Island and the ferry transport with all the baby gear. Enjoy your vacation!
KathEats says

Abby says
Yes! ainglefield 🙂
