About this property

Sitting up high on the dune, yet right at the back door of the ocean, you will find that you are watchers from the hill.

One to talk at night of the great beach day. A large picnic table is off the lower level for some great family outdoor eating gatherings. And is just steps to the ocean.

Amazing View! But no ice and a driveway from ****.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cons- the DRIVEWAY! We had to endure this every golf cart ride, beach outing, bike ride and walk. It was bad. The ruts are so big you will chip your teeth and the gravel. And its a long uphill climb from the road. The fridge is small and the ice maker broken. The four ice trays wouldn't freeze so we had to buy bags of ice. Frozen food from my cooler thawed. They serviced it while we were there but it didn't help. You NEED ice especially at the beach. No beach towels which were listed as included and the 4 beach chairs were on their last legs. No umbrella or bikes that was it. Not the normally included things we are used to with BHI rentals. We have been coming here for 25 years and are former owner/renters so we know its hard to upkeep a house but... Pros- the view, the updated bathrooms and the kitchen was well appointed. Would've have loved a decent non stick for eggs and more cleaning supplies.

Lovely home on the hill

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We so enjoyed our stay at Watch Hill. The view is amazing and the home is beautifully furnished with lots of lovely details including comfortable beds. Lots of light and lovely places to sit and so close to the beach. There are lots of stairs which can be a challenge for arrivals and departures with luggage. And a few details that need some attention. When we saw that there is actually an elevator, we were so relieved until we learned it is out of service with no plans by the owner to fix it. It's a shame as we were traveling with an individual with special needs and that would have been so helpful. Also there were some broken blinds and door locks which were a little inconvenient. The management company went above and beyond to help us out in many ways and were always friendly. Still thinking about that lovely vacation though....love Watch Hill.

Beautiful Island but House needs some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived during the week of the upcoming hurricane so I am going to give the house cleaners some grace especially during Covid. The patio furniture was almost all broken and the cushions were filthy and need to be thrown away. The dishwasher was full of clean dishes and I mean full and the microwave smelt like burnt popcorn. The outside shower was just gross and all of the beach chairs need to be thrown away. There is an elevator but renters cannot use it. One of the golf carts will not charge and so being it was just our family of four, that was alright because it comes with three carts. The property management company was amazing and very helpful. They gave us back $800 for our trouble and I would advise the owners to spend some money to make this house a better rental. There were light bulbs out and the fans upstairs look very unique but are extremely loud and so even without air we never turned them on. We would not go back to this house but will for sure rent again on the island.

Gorgeous views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time and loved the layout of the house and the views. The only real issue is getting your luggage etc up that big hill and then getting up the stairs. And getting the cooler and other kitchen stuff up the stairs. It would be nice to have access to the elevator to take up the heavy items...we are older and it was a challenge.
