The location was perfect and we really enjoyed the island and the golf cart :O) ##### Bern B.

Made it very easy to run back and forth to the beach for lunch, etc. Also nice to be on the center part of the island close to the Maritime Market. The beach nourishment project has left a very spacious and uncrowded beach for enjoyment. Wonderful views from the 2nd story. Would strongly recommend and stay there again. ##### Matt C.

Great view, great screen porch with fabulous breeze, fenced in area for dog to go out (but wish it was totally closed in). However my dog is not adventurous so it didn’t really matter but could for some. A bit a trellis could correct that situation. Will be returning in September ##### christine r.

The house is really comfortable and you can see the ocean from every room. Since we were there over Thanksgiving, none of the homes surrounding Saliing were occupied, so we had a lot of privacy. As a family of four, this was a perfect size for us an our young boys. The deck off of the living room affords a perfect view of the ocean. Beds were comfortable, and the screened in porch would be great in warmer weather to enjoy the outdoors without the bugs. Our dog loved being along as well. Just a lovely place. Thanks for having us! ##### kristen m. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mychal O. 18 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Perfect Beach House Sailing offered such a unique, charming and beautiful housing experience while my wife, dogs and I were at Bald Head this last weekend. With ocean views out of half the windows and palm trees views out of the others, the outside experience was always present, even while we were inside. The balcony offered unbeatable panoramas of the Atlantic and sunsets. The screened in porch below offers a comfortable outdoor living space. The golf cart and bikes provided hours of entertainment for us. We've already made plans to come back to Sailing and can't wait! ##### Mychal O. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah B. 27 Mar 2015 #### Wonderful On-The-Beach Location We really enjoyed our stay at Sailing in Flora's Bluff this month. We got a great deal, got to bring the dog, our host was very wonderful and even though we had one day of bad weather, we had an amazing time. We will certainly be coming back!! If I had one negative, it would be that the beds were a little small in both rooms, but we weren't in them long enough for that to really be a complaint. Everyone on the island is gracious and accommodating. Truly, we were a little worried about the logistics of getting to the ferry, parking, getting to the rental - but they are all a well-oiled machine. We're coming back, and recruiting others. ##### Sarah B. ### 8/10 Good #### Chris S., Cary, NC 21 Jun 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Sailing Kitchen is very limited in cookware. Cleaning crew needed to vacuum floors (sandy floors) and empty coffee pot. One set of porch furniture was broken (black wicker furniture). Should be discarded. Great location, view, and beach access. ##### Chris S. Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nathan L. 4 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location! Nice home w/ only minor improvements needed Overall we enjoyed our stay. Several little notes come to mind regarding our stay: 1. Blinds in the home were messed up. Several didn't twist to open or were broken in various places. 2. Golf cart broken and replacement had weird quirks - a broken blinker handle, occasional beeping noises, very inconsistent acceleration or braking. 3. I understand there was a hurricane recently, so some grace here, but just so you are aware, there was a great deal of water in and around the front steps. it made the trash cans innaccessible for a bit as well as something to dodge getting in/out of the house. Also some items in the garage were covered in mud/mulch. 4. i know it was the weekend that all local shops and restaurants flipped to their off-season hours. it would be helpful to have a more updated list of restaurants or expectations of what is open which days. 5. master shower pan felt like it had water damage underneath of it. the floor was squooshy when showering. ##### Nathan L. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tim M. 8 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great location for a couple's getaway Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was our first visit to Bald Head Island. We liked direct access to the beach from the house and the view of the beach and water from the top floor. We loved the location for exploring various parts of the island by golf cart. We liked the inverted house plan with the bedrooms on the ground floor and the living space upstairs. The house was very clean. The kitchen bar stools were unusable (too high - the legs need to be cut down by 6 inches). Kitchen supplies were ok - there were some spices, and other dry goods from prior guests (which is always nice), and starter supplies like a roll of paper towels and a small bottle of dish soap. Cookware was ok - enough to make due. It lacked a good sized bowl - for tossing a salad or for popcorn. The beds were just ok - one had somewhat of a depression in the middle; the other was very squeaky - any movement made a good bit of noise. There were beach towels and at least two of the beach chairs were functional (another two were broken). The golf cart is in good condition. I nearly missed critical communications from the property manager as they did not use the VRBO messaging system, which is what I was looking for. Fortunately, I caught the messages in my secondary email account before it was too late. They were very responsive and professional once I connected with them. We would definitely consider staying here again. 4.5 stars overall. ##### Tim M.
