We will be ready to assist you with your pre-visit planning, ferry and tram reservations, and information about the island facilities. We are here to help make you stay a great one.

Perfect getaway

We highly recommend this home, the owners have taken great care with decorating and outfitting with all conveniences; we have never rented a home that included beach towels! We love the neighborhood, Sabal Palms, and have stayed in this location previously, it is very close to the harbor, lighthouse, and the beach.

Better than expected...

The property was very clean and well laid out. We enjoyed sitting on the deck reading when not out on the beach. I loved the remoteness of the island and the fact that is car free. Using the golf carts was fun for the family. Owner was quick to respond to any questions.

Our Happy Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've been coming to the island for summer vacation with our 2 kids for 10 years, sometimes twice in a summer and once for Thanksgiving! We love Bald Head Island, it is our happy place! We've stayed in lots of different houses, some more than once and with a few different rental companies. This was our first time with Homes on BHI - it was a great experience! We loved the house, the communication was great, the house was well stocked and we love the forest area. We would definitely recommend the island, Homes on BHI and this house! If you come, be sure to go to Mike's Bites for Italian ice - it's the best cold treat, the best value and the best place on the island other than the beach!!

Long Weekend- Wedding

Everything was as described. The house was clean, spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable. The golf carts were in good working condition, and the beds very comfortable. We would highly recommend Dan and Carrie's home. Carrie was very easy to work with and responded quickly to emails.

Very nice!

This is a lovely home and we would stay here again. The most important thing to me is a comfortable bed and they were very nice with soft linens and I slept great. The golf carts are zippy and newer. Kitchen with everything you need and more. The online arrangements were easy and this was our first experience with VRBO. Great weekend and home.

Great vacation

We had a great stay at sabal palm. We loved the location in the shade of the maritime forest. It felt like a retreat as the sun, heat and overall exposure can be intense during NC summers. Having 2 golf carts and bikes was convenient . The owner was very responsive and the house was very clean with a well stocked kitchen. I have 2 young boys and the location on a circle or cul desac was nice for bike riding without the worry of golf cart traffic. As a native North Carolinian, BHI is our favorite beach locale and we would stay at sabal palm again.

Great location, quiet, comfortable

We enjoyed staying at 6 Sabal Palm Cottage. The pictures really do not do the house justice. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and one has been updated quite nicely. The beds are comfy, the living room is comfy and the kitchen is well stocked. The lagoon behind the house is very peaceful and many wild life was spotted. The golf carts are in good working order and even though a couple of the bikes rims were warped they are still rideable. There is plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys and nets to enjoy a day on the beach. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this home again. Cheers!

Terrific stay

We had a great week in this house! Super clean, bright and every amenity we could have asked for! Host was very responsive when my husband let him know about problem with golf cart which he dealt with immediately. My only concern would be to keep a watchful eye on small dogs and children as the property abuts a marsh way that we saw a quite large alligator hanging around! Definitely fun to see but please don’t feed!! Also a beautiful neighborhood deck area to watch the birds and wildlife! Highly recommend this house! Thanks for the opportunity to stay!

Family Vacation

Property was even better in person. We have been vacationing on BHI for over 20 years and have stayed all over the island. 6 Sable Palm was clean, and perfect for our family of 4. Able to access both clubs if you desire (make sure to apply early), two brand new golf carts and all within a the most reasonable price point for the island. Thank you for another relaxing and memorable year!

Beautiful week in Bald Head

Our family of 5 (3 teens) stayed at 6 Sabal Palm cottage. We had a great stay with plenty of room to spread out. Beds were comfortable and the house is updated nicely. The house had everything we needed- including beach towels, beach chairs. We enjoyed playing games at night and sitting on the back porch. We saw a few alligators, turtles, and egrets. The property manager was very communicative and went out of his way to help us out with anything we needed. Thanks for. a great stay!

Wonderful, relaxing stay for family of 5

This was my family’s first Bald Head Island trip and it did not disappoint. The house was great for my husband, three teens and me. There was plenty of room and the house was clean and very private, but close to restaurants and the market. We saw gators in the lagoon behind the house every day. The kitchen had everything we needed and the two golf carts were great. Barbara was easily accessible and took care of our needs. Great experience.

Great House!

This house is beautiful! Totally updated with view of lagoon. Centrally located making all outings super easy. Kitchen is well stocked and living room is large and comfy. The screened porch is great for reading and watching wildlife. We had 6 adults and had a great time. Didn’t see any bikes or a grill but we rented bikes and cooked inside. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect stay

We have been on the island for many years. This was a change from our East Beach roots but we loved the location. It took us a while but we were even able to walk to the ferry on our departure date after we dropped our luggage. Nice and quiet local. Perfect house layout for 4 teens and two adults.
