“Windansea" is an architectural beauty that greets you with coastal elegance at every turn. Life outside is where the true BHI memories are made, and this home provides it in abundance. You will be greeted by a southern lower level covered front porch where you can enjoy relaxing while listening to the ocean. Have coffee or cocktails or take refuge from the sun or rain on the stunning second level porch. Outdoor living continues with the unique 3rd-storey covered deck high above the tree-tops (affectionately called “the nest”) which is really an extended outdoor second “family room” where you will likely spend a significant amount of your time relaxing and socialising. It is equipped with an outside kitchen, cushy seating and ocean breezes and views. You will love to use this hard-to-leave location for morning coffee, afternoon napping, meal grilling, evening cocktails, and of course sunset watching. And if you want still more outdoor space, enjoy the two lower screened-in porches (one lounging, one dining), multiple kid hangout places, and a private fenced-in yard.
Windansea is nestled on a private, large lot, surrounded by trees and natural vegetation just steps to the Ocean and Shoals Club. Between 212 and 214 Portsmouth Way you will find a wooden plank pathway that goes over the “hill" where you cross Station House Way to #41 Beach Access.
The home is laid out in a reverse floor plan with the primary living space on the second floor, which is at the tree-top level allowing for sunlight to cascade in from the sunrise to sunset. There are dual Master Bedrooms both with King-size Beds and ensuite Bathrooms giving you the choice to sleep downstairs (closer to younger kids) or upstairs (further from older ones). There are two Queen Guest rooms - one with a trundle bed and they share a Jack and Jill bathroom. And, if you need an escape or have a larger group, there is a separate Crofter over the double Garage area that is the 5th Bedroom with a King Bed and an ensuite Bathroom, mini-refrigerator and counter. “Close but still away” is how we like to describe this private space. The Crofter Deck is a perfect spot for stargazing after a relaxing day at the beach.
The main living area is open, grand and can hold lots of people at any one time, making family gatherings super easy and all-inclusive. The fully stocked Gourmet Kitchen will allow the chef in your group to make memorable meals for all to enjoy while dining at the XL dining table.
In true BHI fashion, cosy spaces mesh effortlessly with high end finishes - 10’+ ceilings, large Bedrooms, built-ins, this high-end custom home construction has it all to make your BHI holiday a great one.
Windansea's namesake is from another well-known beach from the owner's original hometown of La Jolla, California and is definitely a home that will enhance your family holiday and help you create lasting memories for years to come.

Reviewer Comments:
We had an outstanding stay at this property on Bald Head Island. Everything was exactly as described — and honestly, even better than we expected. The house was very clean, well-maintained, and clearly cared for. One unexpected bonus was how close the beach actually was. It made quick sunset walks and beach trips incredibly easy for our family. The three working bikes were also a huge plus and helped us enjoy exploring the island in a much more natural and relaxed way.Tyler and Barbara were exceptional hosts. This was our family’s first trip to Bald Head Island, and they went out of their way to answer questions and provide helpful information that made the experience smoother and more enjoyable from the very beginning. Their recommendations and guidance helped us make the most of our stay.During the week we enjoyed time at the beach, biking and riding golf carts around the island, watching sunsets, taking nature walks, and simply slowing down enough to read and rest together as a family. Bald Head Island has a unique pace to it, and this home was a great place to experience it.We would absolutely recommend this property to friends or relatives and would gladly stay here again.
Great house! My family has been visiting Bald Head every summer for more than a decade. This was, hands down, the best house we’ve stayed in. It was clean, organized, nicely decorated and well-equipped. The common rooms are spacious and well laid out. There are numerous outdoor spaces to enjoy and a wonderful outdoor kitchen. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We enjoyed our stay!
