"The Wester House" was the first home built on Bald Head Island and is part of the original Generator Society made up of homes built before electricity was available! Dr. Wester and his family built this one of a kind retreat for their family to create many memories. They now are welcoming other families to pass down the same great island times. The home has been completely updated, remodeled and has all new furnishings. Located less than a 5 minute golf cart ride to the beach, the one level floor plan makes the expansive home perfect for your entire family. They have 4 bedrooms total with an extra sleeping area. The first master suite includes a king bed with unbelievable views of the golf course. The 2nd master suite has a king with a pull out sofa. There is also an attached room with a day bed. This room is among the favorites for the kids with plenty of board games. The third bedroom also has a king size bed and the fourth has a double size bed. There are 4 bathrooms total in the home. The second and third bedroom share a shower but have their own separate vanity and toilets. There is plenty of space in the living room as well as a separate sun room if you need some privacy. The kitchen is fully stocked above and beyond! Nothing has been missed to make your stay the most pleasant. There is also a separate bar area that is stocked with glassware, blender, and a juicer. Enjoy family meals in the dining room overlooking the great golf course view or dine on the outside deck under the shade of a huge live oak tree. The living and dining rooms open up to the large deck facing the 12th green on the golf course. Enjoy living in harmony with nature which includes a garden waterfall off the back deck. Watch the golfers go by or the various deer and wildlife roam the island. They have (2) four passenger golf carts with your rental and Wifi.

Perfect Week on BHI
The Wester House was just as described and pictured and made for a perfect beach trip with our family ages 82 to 14! Very comfortable and a perfect location on the island. The oven broke during the week and the owner had it repaired quickly, just in time for us to cook grandma's biscuits! Thanks so much and we hope to return again soon.

Great house!
My family and I were very pleased with our rental at Bald Head! It’s a great house. Plenty of room for everyone, great extras like bikes (adults and kids), beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys for kids, etc. Kitchen was thankfully stocked as well for cooking since a lot of the restaurants were closed. It was remarkably clean too considering the amount of bugs and tree debris in the vicinity. There were a few resident snakes around the property, so it’s something to consider if you have little ones who wander (none of them were venomous and they all minded their own business, but made me think twice about letting my toddler walk around in certain areas alone). We had lots of bugs around in the evening time, and luckily brought some citronella candles and bug spray so we could enjoy the deck in the evenings. Overall, it was great! Highly recommend.

This house is great for cocktails on the deck, watching the egrets roost, deer strolling by, and quiet nights. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here - the kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfortable and the proximity to everything can't be beat. Thanks Wester House for a great week!

Great house
We took my son and 6 of his friends that all recently graduated from high school to celebrate and all had an amazing time. The house was perfect for what we needed, great amenities and an amazing story behind the house. Wonderful large deck that overlooks the golf course and allows you to chill in the cool evenings and early mornings.

Wonderful vacation home!
We loved staying at this beautiful, spacious house. Lovely location surrounded by oaks with Spanish moss, with wonderful inland view from the deck. Egrets flew by one by one every day as it got close to sunset, and we found them settling in to roost for the night at a nearby pond ~ utterly magical. Easy golf cart ride to the beach and market, and so nice to have golf carts, bikes, beach chairs, beach umbrella, sand toys, and floats/boogie boards provided.

Isolated Paradise
The home was exactly as presented. We were looking for a place where our two daughters and their families could join us for Thanksgiving with a level of isolation that would allow us to remain relatively assured of our health risks. It was also important for us to have things to do - the beach and bike rides being the most important. We all had a magnificent time! It was like staying at a family home rather than some anonymous rental property.

Much needed get away
This was a perfect "break from life" for our family. The house was great. Had a lot of little knick knacks (breakables) that might not be great for families with littles. We learned a lot of history about the island just from the things in the house so that was awesome. We will definitely stay here again!

Perfect getaway!
We loved staying in this clean, unique, beautiful home. The layout was spacious & had room for everyone to spread out. We loved the personal touches throughout. Nice golf carts & well-stocked kitchen. The porch & rocking chairs were the perfect place for cocktails in the evenings. We’d love to visit again!
