Had a wonderful time. Enjoyed exploring the island on the bikes and getting around by golf cart. All worked well. Beautiful view of dunes on both sides from deck - short walk to beach just over the dunes. Hose and shower faucet on boardwalk to wash sand off. Comfy beds. I understand new owners will be remodeling bathrooms and kitchen. Current ones work fine but are dated. Hope we can come back to stay there again. Had a wonderful time. ##### Deborah P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Tiffany L. 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We’ve stayed in several different homes on BHI and enjoyed this for our family of 5. Pros: The house was just steps from the beach - great location! Very clean, with beautiful bathrooms. Lots of light. We enjoyed playing board games (Monopoly and Scrabble). Convenient laundry, plenty of towels, shutters that kept the bedrooms nice and dark for sleeping in. No roaches or other bugs (which is unusual in our experience on BHI!). Loved the fenced yard for our dog. Cons: some carpentry issues with the recent renovation. The door handles are finicky and placed too close to the shutters, so we kept jamming our fingers every time we had to lock the door. It sounds like a minor thing to complain about, but it was pretty frustrating, and a few times, painful. We didn’t plan to cook much, but this kitchen wasn’t as well stocked as other spots we’ve stayed. The garage isn’t deep enough for the 6-seater golf cart, requiring us to wrestle with bungee cords to pull up the rear every time we wanted to open and close the doors. There were lots of bikes in multiple sizes, but I don’t think they get used often - very flat tires and some rusty parts to inflate them, and no helmets. Beach equipment was spotty. Not much in the way of toys for kids. A couple of broken boogie boards. No umbrellas or shade of any kind, so make sure you bring your own. (Several beach chairs in good condition, though!) As you can see, the cons are all minor quibbles. Overall, we had a really wonderful stay! ##### Tiffany L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan H. 28 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nostalgic get away! We've been coming to BHI for 27 years and we think this was the original house that started it all! Of course it has been updated since then. This house is decorated very nice, the beds are very comfortable, and air conditioning and hot water are great. New appliances in the kitchen , along with new cookware and utensils made cooking nice. We had a couple of minor hiccups with the freezer and the TV, but the property manager was quick to respond. You can't have a bad time at BHI. ##### Susan H. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Bradley B. 31 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved Bald Head Island So glad we discovered baldhead island. It is absolutely amazing there. This house was quaint and sweet. Loved having the golf cart and bikes on hand. The property manager, Barbara, was outstanding. She tended to every need or hiccup we had. Just a few recommendations for the owner. The couch bed definitely needs updated if someone is going to use it. Not pleasurable for sleep. We would also recommend some privacy shades at the front door and in the family room doors leading to the deck. That way if someone is using the couch bed or if you are just walking around at night you are not living in a fishbowl. Otherwise, we would definitely stay here again. We had the most amazing weekend. ##### Bradley B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022
