Remodeled Marshfront Retreat w/ Water View Porch, Pool, Kayaks, BHI Club + Golf, Dog Friendly

HappiNest at Timbercreek is a beautifully remodeled waterfront retreat. Nestled among the live oaks in the peaceful Timbercreek community on Bald Head Island, this dog-friendly upper-level condo offers a true escape into nature, overlooking Bald Head Creek and the surrounding salt marsh sanctuary.




Start your mornings with birdsong and coffee on the spacious screened porch, where you can take in tranquil marsh views without the worry of bugs. Just steps away, the boardwalk and dock invite you to spend your days fishing, crabbing, kayaking, or simply soaking in the beauty of the coastal landscape. You’re also just a short stroll from the community saltwater pool, perfect for cooling off after a day of island adventures.




Inside, HappiNest is designed for comfort and ease, with a fully equipped kitchen, inviting living spaces, and all the essentials you need for a seamless stay—including fresh linens and towels provided with your cleaning fee. Two four-seater golf carts make it easy to explore the island, while included kayaks and beach gear add to the fun.




Centrally located, you’re only minutes from the marina, market, beach access, and the Bald Head Island Club, where a temporary Lifestyle Membership offers access to pools, dining, golf, tennis and pickleball (additional fees apply).




Whether you’re unwinding on the porch, exploring the waterways, or enjoying all that Bald Head Island has to offer, HappiNest is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories. Book your stay now!

Great stay, could use a couple updates

We absolutely loved our stay here. My family of four (including two little boys ages 7 and 5) and our dog. The setup of these condos is ideal, and being in the condo section that was located where the pool was for the entire complex was a great bonus we didn’t know we would use as much as we did at the end of the beach day! This unit is on the top floor which is ideal with the tall ceiling/loft and also no footsteps overhead from neighbors. The only cons were that the beds and sheets were not comfortable, the shower head in the master bathroom needs to be switched out to a regular one so it doesn’t just stream right into your face (it doesn’t fit the shower somehow), and all the furniture that you sit on both inside and outside is not comfortable. I know that sounds like a lot of things working against this place, but literally everything else is perfect, and these are all fixable things that should be addressed. We loved it! Our dog also got nervous being left alone and the property managers let us know that she was barking a lot when we were gone and were very understanding. Overall highly recommend this place!

Condo with a lot of issues

We have been renting on BHI for 17 years, so we have a lot of experience. We arrived the Friday prior to Memorial Day & stayed for two weeks. So, the busy season had not even started. Washing machine got stuck in rinse cycle the entire time we rented, and would not go into the spin cycle. This is a royal pain when you have 8 people exercising, fishing & going to the beach. Neither one of the golf carts was in full working order. One had nonfunctioning headlights so we couldn't drive it at night, & the other one broke down on day 3. They brought one replacement that wasn't any better. The bathrooms had just been remodeled. However, the entire hallway bathroom flooded every time someone took a shower bc the sliding doors were not installed properly & would not stay closed. You had to physically hold the door closed with one hand. This is unacceptable. Besides, I had to launder a lot of towels in order to keep the floor dry, which takes us back to the washing machine issue! Also, the primary bathroom shower door was not sealed or installed properly so there was a big puddle of water on the floor when you stepped out. The kitchen knives are really bad. We had to purchase some bc we cook. TV in crofter bedroom does not work. Unfortunately, the primary mattress was terrible. We chose TC bc of the dock & the pool. Mgmt team was polite, but this was completely unacceptable. We did inform them as issues arose. We will not stay in this unit again. This vacation was a lot of work

Exceeds expectations

This property is even better than the pictures portray. Its impeccably clean. The kitchen is so well stocked, beach towels, laundry pods, dishwasher pods, beach equipment, kayaks, bicycles. It was incredible, and what a gift to be able to pack light on a trip to BHI (my favorite place ever!!). I just felt like a lot of effort has been put into making sure anything a guest will need is there and we really appreciated it! Would definitely stay here again.
