Great time in a great house

This house has been newly renovated, has new furnishings, a well-equipped kitchen, and is steps from the ocean on a quiet cul-de-sac. The top floor (reverse floor plan with common areas on the top floor) is lined with windows for great views of the ocean all day long. The property manager we spoke to (they are on the island) was very responsive and even provided a (new) slow cooker for our New Year’s Day meal. Check in and check out was simple. These property managers know what they’re doing—provided an excellent experience on Bald Head.

Great Getaway

Great place to stay for a small family. Even though it was cold and windy, we loved the close access to the beach and would go every morning. Nicely decorated and had all the amenities you would need for your stay. Would love to come back in summer!

Nice property

The property was newly remodeled, nicely furnished, and had nice finishes. Great neighborhood, close to beach. We had a small problem with our golf cart not wanting to go into reverse, and the property manager quickly assessed the issue and had it fixed promptly. The only downside is there is no 1/2 bath on the upper level (a reverse floor plan with kitchen, dining, living upstairs). But if steps are not a problem for you, then you will have no negatives.

Fabulous beach house

This was a cute beach house, the house had a great location and our multigenerational group loved the layout. It was easy to get to the beach, hose off and enjoy the sunset. The property manager Tyler was super responsive and helpful when we had questions and a (mea culpa) issue. Cannot wait to go back!

All around great stay!

Our family of 4 had a great stay at this property. We have been to Bald Head many times before and it never disappoints. House has been very nicely renovated on the inside and is right across from the beach. The location is truly amazing! You have ocean views from the upper deck just off of the main living area/kitchen. Unfortunately we were there during hurricane Idalia (I think that was the name) so it shut everything down on the island for about a day and a half. Property management was terrific about bringing us a couple of board games upon request, and ponchos for the rain. I would say that is one of the only negative things about the property is that the gold cart does not have rain protection flaps that you can zip down on the sides so it is almost impossible to drive anywhere when it is heavily raining. Property manager was also excellent to communicate with us and help us with tram reservations off the island at the last minute since we somehow didn’t have them! Lastly, we purchased a membership to BHI club which was fabulous. The club has had a major expansion and renovation since we last visited the island and it was well worth it!

Loved everything about it

This was my first visit to Bald Head and it for sure won’t be my last. I loved the location of the house, the view of the sunset was spectacular and the ease of navigating the island made this spot just perfect. We didn’t use the kitchen a whole lot for our short stay but what we did use was in great shape and everything we needed. I can’t imagine anyone would be unhappy with renting this cute little house. The property manager checked in with us, which was nice. I look forward to hopefully being back before too long!
