Family Golf trip

I have been coming to BHI since 1984. This is the first time I have stayed in Fire. It was perfect for what I needed. Even though it’s small, it was plenty of room for myself and actually 2 people would be comfortable. It was quiet and Jules provided ample communication and made the whole check in and check out process very easy. I would highly recommend Fire for a single or even a couple.

Cute place, BUT……

Very disappointed as the place has NOT been cleaned. Food on the floor, had not been dusted in months, very few dishes that were there were dirty, fridge and microwave very dirty. We were not able to sit on the couch, as it was dirty, or able to use one of the blankets, it, too was very soiled. Blinds on the door were broken, so you can see in. Caretaker messaged me a few days before to say the front door is broken and doesn’t lock, however after reading a review it’s been that way over a year. Very few dishes - only 1 plate. No soap or toiletries in the shower. Pluses: very convenient location and the bed was comfortable. It has plenty of room for 2 people.

UNDERWHELMED

Front door lock broken, front door blinds broken roaches in hall and kitchen cabinet, decorated with thrift store rejects and nothing matched (nautical comforter and shams with Peanuts linens, geometric pillows on sofa with striped throw rug, black/white towels in ORANGE bathroom), broken nightlight on far side of bed and shower handle, no toiletries, bar soap or hairdryer, no plates, one stale Kuerig coffee pod and rock hard creamer...for the outrageous price of $800+ for two nights! Broken windshield in dirty golf cart. The tv was okay and the white bathmat the only new and nice accessory.

Visit to Bald Head

We have been to Bald Head many times. Howe er this is the first time we werent allowed in the golf shop where I usually purchase a golf shirt for my.grandson. Bald Head island Club does not welcome non members inside the gates. It seems its a very closed community. And there are very few restaurants available for non members.

So thankful we had the opportunity to stay in such a unique place. Literally right the water in the marina. Might as well been a boat. The golf cart to explore the island was perfect. The host was very helpful and responsive. If you have the opportunity, I would recommend it.

Great and snafus handled so well

Such a cute little spot! There were some unavoidable glitches (compressor on ac went out and it’s an island so no repair available on the weekend) but the owner was so gracious and handled it so appropriately. It’s a 5 star for me, but would be over the top if could get ac ice cold and pitch black dark! There is some harbor and sunrise light - I loved it but I’m always up early.

Perfect Location for a Wedding

We stayed at the Fire Cottage as part of a Wedding Party on the Island. The location could not be beat for proximity to the Ferry terminal and all of the functions for the wedding. Really enjoyed the location and the uniqueness of the property. Having the golf cart included was superb.

Perfect Getaway Cottage

The Fire Cottage was a perfect weekend getaway to immerse yourself in all things Bald Head, and just relax overlooking the marina. In my 20+ years of renting through VRBO across the US & beyond, I've never had a host as accommodating and gracious as Jules. We'll be back & often!

Loved everything about the house. So much nicer than a hotel room for a great price; especially for just a quick trip. Easy check in and close to the marina makes it super convenient.
