Highly recommend

This house was perfect for our family of 4. Nicely laid out house, reverse layout like most of the homes on BHI. Beds were comfortable, living spaces and kitchen were more than adequate and functional. We loved the location near the harbor to walk to restaurants and Sand Piper. Highly recommend.

A Terrific Harbor Hideaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was very pleased with my stay at Sea Horse Cottage. In fact, the pictures do not do it justice. Perfect for a small family not needing more than two private bedrooms. The master was an oasis and the guest room was perfect for those not demanding a private bathroom. The "lighthouse" at the top with two bunks with two bunks is picturesque and very cute. The only downside is having to whisper in the family room while the kids fall asleep just up the stairs. The golf cart and garage were perfect and the kitchen and amenities were welcoming. Harbor Village is a great place for families wanting eye candy and not needing an expansive private compound. Bald Head Island is a special place and the Sea Horse Cottage made the stay enjoyable.
