This was a nice house in good condition and a great location. We experienced a few issues, such as no dish towels in the kitchen, hairs on bed sheets and comforters, and the lock on the back door was broken. There was a Keurig for coffee that was not on the listing, which would have been helpful to know. The ice maker was a great amenity.

Spring Break Getaway

Visited the island with our 12yo for a few days over spring break. House is clean and cozy, and everything was all set when we walked in the door. We enjoyed watching movies on the smart tv downstairs in the evenings after dark, and listening to the ocean in the morning. Fun location not too far from East Beach. Golf cart had recently been serviced, which was an added bonus!

Great stay!

My wife and her friends booked their annual girls’ trip and decided on bald head island and this rental. They all really enjoyed their stay and my wife got to sleep in the separate suite which she likened to a treehouse. The owner was very responsive and they all enjoyed the beauty of the island. They also really enjoyed the hospitality of everyone on the island as well. Great stay!

Island Oasis

We had a wonderful BHI visit while staying at this cottage! The property was clean, cozy, and cute! It was well equipped inside and outside!! There was plenty of comfortable seating In the living area and the beds were very comfortable. A 6 passenger golf cart and bicycles were fun for riding around the island. The front porch was our “hang out” to start the day while drinking a cup of coffee and end the day while sipping a glass of wine! We hope to be back soon! Great memories! Great time!!

Cape Fear Station

My wife and I enjoyed a get away weekend with some good friends of ours. The home at 303 Whale Head Way was wonderful! The house was clean (although a bit musty due to the February rental) and the bedrooms were perfect. For some reason, when I rented the home I missed the extra bedroom/bathroom in the separate building above the garage. That was an added bonus! The kitchen was large and very well appointed and we had everything we needed to cook our meals. The common living area was very comfortable and conducive to our conversations. Ainsley was very flexible and allowed us to check-in a bit early on Friday and leave a bit later on Sunday morning. I'm not sure that would be available 'on season', but it's always worth it to ask. Our 6-person golf cart was not functioning on Friday afternoon but maintenance came quickly and we ended up switching the cart out. That ended up being a positive, as the original cart was not enclosed and our trips around the island were extremely brisk on our early February weekend. All in all, a great stay and I would come back again!

We love this house and have stayed here multiple times. The kitchen has all sorts of helpful cooking utensils and tools. We love that the house has a high chair and pack 'n play for our child - so we don't have to bring them. The whole house is clean and well-maintained; we love staying there and will definitely come back.

We frequently visit Bald Head, and this summer we came to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday. We had a great experience. Ainsley, the host, was really responsive to any questions we had. We arrived to find the house open and ready for us, which was a blessing given the distance we had traveled. It seemed like we were returning home. We generally dine out every night, but we enjoyed the place so much that we remained in and cooked and ate as a family at the dining room table. It made for an excellent evening spent with family. Every night after dinner, we would play cards and watch movies. In the morning, we were grateful for the opportunity to spend each day at the pool and the beach at the Shoals Club. Being able to use the guest passes to lay by the pool was a tremendous perk. Everyone in our group has decided to return. With such pleasant memories, a future stay would be like returning home.

My new happy place

Great house in a beautiful location. The front porch is my newfound happy place and it was a great place to sit and read a good book, for the family to gather for some serious puzzle assembly and for the adults to enjoy a cocktail.

Location Location and Nugget Ice Maker!

This is a fabulous location - so close to the beach yet only a quick golf cart ride to the market and shops. Kitchen was nicely appointed, and the Nugget Ice Maker was a nice surprise. Our family loved that! The bunk room would be a tight fit if you're planning to use the trundle bed but everything worked out for our family's stay. Host was very responsive to communications and extremely easy to work with. Thank you for sharing your home!
