This house was excellent for our family! We had 6 couples and 1 small child. The amenities were as expected and the house was clean. The house is situated in the middle of the island and we really enjoyed having access to the community pool area which was equally nice. Added bonus- the house had good games and puzzles too which we enjoyed. Would stay here again!

Property was fine - met our needs. Dryer broke during our stay but owner got a new one and installed in less than 24 hrs. That was much appreciated. We had 6 ppl- not sure I would want many more in that space.

What an amazing trip! The home was very comfortable, beautifully appointed, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. At first glance, I thought it had a private pool, but it was actually a community pool shared by a few nearby homes. That turned out not to be an issue at all. The pool was just across the road, clean, spacious, and a wonderful place to relax and unwind.The home itself was very clean, although I would suggest cleaning the downstairs exterior windows so guests can better enjoy the beautiful wooded scenery. The rooms were spacious, and the king beds were incredibly comfortable after long days of boating and exploring.The sunsets were simply breathtaking! We especially enjoyed taking the golf carts, graciously provided by the owners, down to the beach each afternoon. While there were many amenities we didn’t have time to use, the home was thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need, including beach supplies.Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we made some great memories.

Perfect Location on the Island

The house was in great shape, clean, very comfortable, and had all of the amenities you could want for a stay on BHI. The location was central to everything, and the neighborhood pool was perfect.

Relaxing getaway

From check in to check out, the process was stress-free. The property had everything that we needed during our stay (beach chairs, sand toys, coolers, bug spray, beach towels, etc). The kitchen was well stocked and the home was beautifully decorated. Lots of towels and comfy beds! We had a wonderful, relaxing trip and can’t wait to go back!

Great house on Bald Head!

The house is nice and well kept! It was as advertised and my family would wholeheartedly recommend it! The two large golf carts was a nice bonus and the set of beach equipment was appreciated. Having a pool steps away was also great…

Great location and fun family time.

The house was located close to the maritime market and south beach. The neighborhood pool was great for our Grandson. We did do temporary guest passes to bald head island club but also having that pool within a few steps was great. The house is stocked with puzzles, bikes, games, etc. for fun family time.

Great place to stay on BHI!

This was the perfect place to stay on BHI! The house is beautiful and convenient to the beach/grocery store. The owners were very helpful and responsive. The house was also well stocked with supplies, beach chairs, bikes, beach towels, etc, all of which made our stay there easy and convenient. The neighborhood pool (located right by the house) was wonderful as well. Highly recommend this rental!

Great location!

Right across from the pool-literally perfect location. Close to the market and beach access areas as well as the restaurants. The shampoo/conditioner dispensers were low or empty but other than that it was a great experience! We had young toddlers and a crib sleeper so the pack and play was perfect. Our kids are begging to go back!
