The house fit the four of us well. We’ve have been to BHI many times over the last 10 years. The house is in good shape and great location, but it does need a good deep cleaning and the couch cushions need replaced. That’s the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars. ##### Andy B.

From the upper deck you can see and hear the ocean (and catch a great sunset). Even when the sun is fully out, the upper deck keeps such a great breeze that it’s still possible to enjoy meals out there. We also enjoyed the shady breeze on the lower screened porch. The house was very clean exactly as pictured. ##### Pam L.

Balvenie exceeded all our expectations. The location, views, privacy and quality of amenities were perfect for us. The property was a great backdrop to the entire vacation and made a significant impact on our overall experience. It would not have been near as good of a vacation without Balvenie. The grill, golf cart, beach chairs, bedrooms, bathrooms, furniture and kitchen tools were all in exceptional shape. We go to Bald head at the end of every summer and we have resolved to return to Balvenie every time from now on. I miss Balvenie right now! ##### Mychal O.

Had to get fire department to disable the whole system to get it to stop. Spent over an hour of prime sun time dealing with this. Information said no beach towels, and we loaded 6 beach towels which was a whole suitcase full, and there were beach towels at the house. info said 2 baths and there were 3\.
