Great Place to Wave Summer Goodbye
This house was perfect for our family getaway. Lots of space. Particularly loved all of the porches. It was great to have two golf carts for getting around. The communication was great and they even accommodated our need for a later checkout. Hope to come back to this beautiful place.

Great stay!
Nice sized house for multiple people (friends, family, kids). Everyone had their own space. Great location too. We have been renting on BHI for the past several years and this was by far the best place we have rented on the island.

Amazing vacation
My family and I stayed at away from it all & it was the perfect vacation. When walking in, it’s rare the house is even better than the photos. Plenty of room, very clean, everything provided. The bikes tires flattened on Easter Day and brandy had someone there at 8 am the next day to fix them. We appreciate everything!
