Cary Cart Co Celebrates 10 Years of Keeping BHI Rolling
On car-free Bald Head Island, a golf cart becomes more than transportation—it's the key to exploring beaches, maritime forest, shops, restaurants, and neighborhoods across the island.
For the past decade, Cary Cart Co. has helped thousands of visitors and homeowners do exactly that.
This year marks the company's 10th anniversary on Bald Head Island, a milestone that reflects not only the growth of a successful local business, but also the enduring connection co-founders Natalie and Willie Pope have with the island they love.
“From summer vacations in the ‘80s to buying our first island home in 2003, Bald Head Island is in our blood,” said Natalie. “In 2016, we turned our ‘what-if’ dream into a family business. Ten years later, we run a thriving statewide operation across three locations, specializing in rentals, golf carts, and top-tier service. This island didn't just raise our family—it built our business.”
That personal connection continues to shape the company's philosophy. Whether welcoming first-time visitors or assisting longtime homeowners, Cary Cart Co. is committed to providing reliable transportation for making the most of “island time.”
Today's rental fleet offers more choices than ever. Alongside its standard four-passenger and six-passenger daily golf cart rentals, the company now offers premium Club Car Onward golf carts for guests seeking an elevated driving experience. For customers needing a workbox in the back, 2-passenger enclosed carts are available. Recently, the company introduced flexible rental options, including afternoon rentals for later arrivals and all-night rentals that make it easy to enjoy dinner, live music, or sunset outings worry-free.
Convenience has always been part of the experience. The company's rental location is located just steps from the Bald Head Island ferry landing, allowing visitors to pick up their cart almost immediately after arriving on the island and begin exploring without delay.
Beyond rentals, the company serves the community year-round from its showroom on Edward Teach Wynd Extension, where homeowners can purchase golf carts or take advantage of professional maintenance and repair services. From routine service to major repairs, Cary Cart Co. has become a trusted resource for keeping island vehicles running smoothly.
Ten years after opening their Bald Head Island location, the Popes share the same motivation that inspired them from the beginning: helping visitors and residents discover everything that makes Bald Head Island such a special place—one golf cart ride at a time. Learn more at CaryCartCo.com.
