This is a great house on Bald Head Island. Off the bat, our communication with the hosts was superb from start to finish. They responded almost immediately every time I reached out with a question. For the house itself, it was very comfortably and cozy. There was more than enough space for my family. It's well located to easily get to the marina area and Old Baldy. But the rooftop deck was icing on the cake. You could see clear across the island and we enjoyed several sunsets there.

We stayed here over Thanksgiving weekend and had an amazing experience. The house was spacious and comfortable, with a great layout -- nice having a downstairs bedroom suite, plus the bedrooms on the 2nd floor. All of the bathrooms were recently updated with really nice finishes, and the mattresses were excellent... everyone slept well!The location couldn’t be better: less than a minute walk to the beach and just a short ride to the ferry and marina. We also loved having three golf carts included (two 4-seaters and one 6-seater), which made getting around the island super easy.Overall, a fantastic stay. We’ll definitely be back!
