Our stay was great. The house is beautiful, with close access to the beach. Paddie, the host, was amazing to work with and was great to communicate with. There are plenty of beach chairs and everything one needs for the stay. I would highly recommend this property.

Spring Break 2021!

We had a fantastic time! The weather wasn’t exactly “beach”, however Dalwhinnie/Flora’s Bluff was the perfect place for relaxation and rest. The house’s layout gave our family together time and space for downtime. We are looking forward to another stay!

A great house in a great location with beautiful views. The owner has the house well-stocked with all necessary amenities. Reverse floor plan is perfect for ocean views and relaxing in the evenings. Would definitely stay here again. Great communication - washer broke and was replaced the following morning.

Amazing stay and will be back!

Perfect location and beach access. House layout was great with four bedrooms including the crofter. Clean and nice kitchen and bathrooms; two golf carts made it great for a group to split up and have flexibility.Appreciate the two bikes which were in good conduction and ready to ride. Plenty of beach chairs. Nice multiple decks.

Amazing location and very comfortable

Location was just amazing with the boardwalk directly to the beach from the back porch. The home was a so beautiful! Beds were nice and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Bathrooms didn’t have any toiletries except a bar of soap which did surprise me a little at the price point. But the stay was very comfortable and the golf carts were so fun!! We hope to come back again!

Thank you for this nice review. Our oceanfront location, within steps of the new beach access, is amazing. We look forward to your return! Glad you found our beds comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We suspended leaving personal toiletries out in 2020 due to COVID, instead provide soft soap, bar soap,TP & cleaning products. In our kitchen we provide paper towels, trash bags, coffee filters, sponges, DW soap, dish soap, Brita filters, and cleaning products. We also provide laundry soap and dryer sheets.

Amazing views and superb host

The description was spot on! Lovely views of the ocean. Paddi’s instructions were perfect. Communication prior to our trip was excellent. She was very responsive to questions upon arrival and made sure all was in proper order. Dalwhinnie was a perfect set up for our family. Looking forward to coming back.

Nice Place!!

We have been regular visitors to BHI for 30 years, and this may be the nicest house we have stayed in. Definitely, now our favorite! The second floor living area is spacious and comfortable, with panoramic views of the dunes and the ocean beyond, and two porches to sit on for morning coffee and lunch. You can hear the waves crashing in the distance. The house is a ways away from South Beach Wynd, so no road noises, and surrounded on two sides by dense foliage. It's in a small cluster of houses, but it was a very quiet neighborhood while we were there. Beach access is direct via a boardwalk from the downstairs porch. The rooms are all comfortable, including the crofter which our son enjoyed using, and the surprising large third story room (with high ceilings, and a bathroom) that our daughter claimed as the "eagle's nest." There was more than enough room for everybody, for our family of four. Oh, and there was lots of beach equipment, unusually well organized and in good condition. One thing to be aware of: since the house is on three levels there are stairs to negotiate on a regular basis (i.e., from bedrooms to living area), and that might be an issue for some. Of note, the owner responded within minutes to any questions we had, before and during our stay. Her availability was much appreciated. I hope we can come back to this house next year.

Perfect Vacation!

The owner was extremely helpful and instructive. This was our first time on the island. She prepped us well in advance for what to bring and all of the many wonderful intricacies of life on the island. The house was just incredible.

Dalwhinnie Paddi Rollins

We were more than happy with our beach stay. The beach house was exceptionally clean and well stocked with pans, dishes, kureig, blender, crock pot, and so much more. Paddi is an ideal host. She is quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had about our stay. I highly recommend staying at the Dalwhinnie. We look forward to staying again. Thank you, Paddi for being such a wonderful host!

A Great Experience

Dalwhinnie Cottage lived up to it's billing. It was our first trip to BHI and the property manager, Paddi, was a joy to work with and made it easy. Any questions or issues were addressed immediately. BHI and The Cottage is a special place and our family is already looking forward to our return!
