According to Mark Magarity, President/CEO of Sentry Hospitality, "The beauty of Bald Head Island with its maritime forests, sandy beaches and breathtaking vistas provides a most unique venue for vacationing, group business meetings or home ownership. Bald Head Island is one-of-a-kind, as are the services and amenities. The Sentry Hospitality team will provide the leadership, expertise and training to continuously raise the service levels." 

Sentry Hospitality University (SHU), one of the leading hospitality training programs in the industry, will provide Five Star training for all Bald Head associates.  SHU is a mandatory program for all associates, from line employees to executive staff, as well as core affiliated vendors.  SHU raises the bar on employee retention, satisfaction and internal promotion. 

A 20 minute passenger ferry ride from Southport, North Carolina, Bald Head Island is located at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, providing 14 miles of pristine shoreline.  Home to "Old Baldy", North Carolina's oldest lighthouse, Bald Head Island is a 45 minute drive from Wilmington International Airport and 90 minutes north of Myrtle Beach International Airport. 

With the addition of Bald Head Island, Sentry Hospitality continues to expand a portfolio of unique hospitality products. As Bald Head Island is the leader in lifestyle communities, so are other Sentry facilities leaders in their market niche.
