Its beach chic, easy living asthetic has stood the test of time and the shiplap walls will remind of you days when life was simple. Blue Pearl has a personality all its own and was once featured in Coastal Living Magazine when it was renovated by BHI long standing local and talented businesswoman, Tiffany Williams. While recently refreshing with new beds and sofas, the new owners have strived to keep the style and ease that has kept guests coming back year after year. The style of the home has been carefully curated to reflect casual "kick off your shoes" coastal living with modern conveniences.

Two golf carts (one six seater, one four seater), lots of beach toys, two surfboards, boogie boards, and chairs. Highchair, pack n play, and two foldable beds are available. If you need additional baby equipment we can help direct you to equipment rental vendors.

Perfect Beach House

I loved this house. I loved the history of the home. It was nice to read about the history of the home in the book at the house. I feel like it was located in a very central location on the island. We went to the marina and grocery store frequently, and just explored in general. The host/owner was very helpful and easy to work with. There was also plenty of space between us and other homes. My entire family enjoyed the home and location.

Lovely house, perfect for groups

We were here for my son's wedding and the group consisted of friends and family none of whom actually knew each other before this trip. So the layout of those house - four corner bedrooms each with its own bathroom was perfect. Each couple/family group had their privacy, but the common area was large and welcoming for hanging out and getting to know one another. The house was nicely furnished and the kitchen was beyond well equipped. We loved the deck and the boardwalk connection to the adjacent beach access. Communication with the host was excellent and she was especially helpful when we were stuck on the island after a tropical storm! We hope to return some time next season - Bald Head Island is special and the Blue Pearl is lovely.

A beautiful house

This is a beautiful house and was perfect for our family. Unfortunately our stay was cut short by a tropical storm. The host was an absolute pleasure to work with in less than ideal circumstances. We look forward to returning.

Amazing Stay

Blue Pearl is an absolutely beautiful home and the perfect house for a large family gathering. We had 9 people total and the layout was perfect for two families to share without disturbing one another. The large living/dining area and back porch provide ample gathering space. Definitely our favorite rental on Bald Head.

Enjoyed staying at this property during our daughter’s wedding. The large open living/dining area and decks were great for hanging out with my brother’s family who stayed with us. Having bathrooms in 4 bedrooms added convenience and privacy. Convenient location with easy beach access!

Amazing BHI Rental

This was the honestly the best online rental experience I have ever had. The house was perfect for our party and was accurately depicted in the listing. The owner was incredibly responsive and willing to quickly address the minor issue we experienced. We would love to be able to come back and stay at the blue pearl again!

Perfect stay

Our group had 6 adults and 4 kids, 4 and under. We had an amazing time staying at the Blue Pearl. Cottage has been nicely updated and decorated. Oceanfront location made for easy access to beach and very relaxing sitting on the porch, hearing the waves crashing on beach. Host was excellent and very responsive. Lots of chairs, games, toys, bikes, carts, etc… provided with home.

Great Place to stay on the Island

This was a great house- everything was on 1 level and had direct access to the beach- which was great for my older parents that traveled with us. The house was fresh and clean and had all the kitchen items you would need. It also had a great supply of beach toys, boogie boards, chairs, bikes, etc that were in great condition. The golf carts worked great too. The property manager was easily reachable for questions and was extremely kind. We will stay here again.

Perfect beach house

Blue Pearl is the perfect BHI beach house -- spacious, clean, well-appointed, right on the beach, very close to BHI Club and the market, you name it! And the owner is very accessible and so helpful. Our family's only complaint was that we had to leave. We would dearly love to stay there again!!
