Location, location, location! This hut is so convenient and has ever you need for a stay on BHI. Spotless all around, spacious for the two of us. Foldaway table for stuff or morning coffee, eats. It couldn’t be easier reserving, checkin, quick communications through out the process and our stay. Would absolutely stay here again. Market and shops just a cart ride away. Beaches are beautiful! Don’t hesitate to pick the Star cottage.

It is a lovely property with excellent marina location and views.Although it was averagely clean, there was dust on baseboards, fixtures, etc.Plus, the wood blind that covered the door was damaged. Several of the slats had portions cut out.I had to put a towel over the door for privacy.Was told it had been this way for almost a year. Not sure why it hadn’t been replaced as that is a cheap fix…… especially as pricey as the rental was.
