  • Heres the scoop on BHI and Mimi's place.No cars ergo., no noise[ just peace & quiet]no fumes [just clean air and clear skies]. Nature abounds in land & sea. Water was amazing , perfect most of the time,and even when not, it was great just to sit and watch it. The Shoals club , a mere 10 min.walk from the house, 3 min. by bike or cart, was all one could ask for. Just bring reading material, lotion and sun glasses .Pick up your towel at the club, and chairs and umbrella as you walk the boardwalk to the beach. Later you come back to the bright and airy house,which has all one could desire. Take your pick of the decks to relax on. Shade or sun, screened or not. Private or not. Mimi's place has it all.

  • Star Gazer was one of the most beautiful homes we have stayed in since coming to Bald Head Island for the last 5 years. Our two children loved sleeping in the bunk beds and having games available for them to use. Mom, Dad, and Aunt enjoyed the luxury of their bedrooms and private baths, in addition to all the modern appliances. Perfect location as it was only minutes to the Shoal's Club, beach, and Maritime Market. Enjoyed watching the birds in the trees outside the window whenever I was in the kitchen. Extremely quiet and peaceful. It was wonderful to have an outdoor shower to use in addition to the bicycles that were available. Anyone would thoroughly enjoy staying in this spacious and beautifully decorated home. Our family certainly did! Patti Gandossy Weddington, NC

  • Star Gazer is a beautiful retreat in the trees of the maritime forest of Bald Head Island. The reverse floor plan (living/dining/kitchen on second floor) absolutely MAKES this vacation home. We felt as though we were playing in a tree house--yet we were still enjoying all the modern appliances and conveniences. We loved sipping coffee in the morning on both the front open-air porch and the screened back porch. We were right up there within the trees, observing all the activity of the cardinals and the bees! Gorgeous hardwood floors and elegant bathrooms for each of four bedrooms make all guests feel special. Our grandsons loved the three-level beds in their room downstairs, and they played for hours on the Nintendo 64 after we returned from the beach. One of my favorite features was the four bicycles: we pedaled all over the island, reducing the pace a bit even from the normally slow speed that traveling by golf carts provides. Most days my husband and I cycled to the Shoals Club pool and beach, an easy "commute" even for senior citizens! Staying in Star Gazer on Bald Head Island made this one of the best vacations our family has ever taken.

  • In a word, exquisite. I don't recall visiting a more inviting, friendly place ever. It far exceeded our expectations. Even though we had rain for a day or two, we managed to enjoy every minute we spent at your beautiful home. I cannot thank you enough for sharing such a lovely, lovely place with us. I look forward to returning for many years to come. Warmly, Dee Gregory

  • Dear Mimi, Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed your home on Bald Head Island last week. We've been to BHI four times now. Our drivers' license teenagers liked it even more, now that they can drive the golf carts at their leisure. "No cars" on the island is one of the great attractions. And the Smith family trust has really kept the integrity of the island intact, along with their dedication to conserve & protect the island. Your place is well-located, close to the east beach and close to the new Shoals' Club, with its chairs and verandas and pool that are perfect for quality-time. Your house, being close to the southeast tip (1/2 mile away) was terrific. That corner is famous as the "Cape of Fear" with water almost surrounding you when you're on the sandy tip -- is great -- and many times of the day no one else is there. The golf course is first-rate and I've played many of the best in the country. The $45 greens fee for my teenage (17 and under) boys, was a fantastic deal. We played there twice, even though it was $140 for me -- well worth it. Your house is very comfortable, and the screened- in deck was perfect for our "in-home" dinners. Great week. And finally, we've taken our teenagers to Italy, England, Bermuda, Quebec, etc......and believe it or not, Bald Head is hands-down their favorite summer spot. No kidding. Thanks again. -Steve Bourg, Ellicott City, MD.

  • We can't begin to tell you how wonderful our week was and how beautiful the house was. Our first trip to the island was even better than expected. The kids found PLENTY to do all week. They rode bikes, walked, swam in the pool, hunted for shells, played on the beach, played in their beautiful rooms and just relaxed. They even went to the Kids night out event at the Shoals Club on Monday night (we ate at the Shoals club - excellent meal) and they made friends that they saw all week. I walked every morning for 1.5-2 hours around the island and on the beach. Jacqueline (our daugher age 7) loved setting the table with your beautiful dishes and silverware. But the best part was that we actually ate together as a family - no TV, just talking - we very rarely get to eat as a family at home so this was probably my favorite part of the week and something I will truly cherish. Afternoons were spent at the pool, beach, climbing Old Baldy (the kids loved that and did it several times!) and doing a whole lot of nothing. I can't say enough about the house. It was absolutely amazing. I loved every aspect of your decorating and choices in appliances. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were spacious and as I mentioned in one of my phone calls to you last week I loved the washer and dryer!!!!!! I bet I'll be your only renter that will say that to you! We did do the golf cart parade on July 4 and the kids had a blast. They loved decorating (I brought some things from home which I left with your craft box in the closet for your future projects) and they loved the parade itself. The decorated carts were amazing!!!! Some people really go all out!!! Well, can you tell that we all really enjoyed ourselves? Can you tell that it was the best vacation we ever took? Actually, someone came up to my son Nicholas yesterday and asked him how his vacation was. Well, this kid got the hugest smile on his face and said "It was AMAZING!" His smile was so big that the person who asked him had to laugh. We all felt that way. The island was magical, whimsical and our experience was one that we will cherish for a long time to come. We will definitely be back to Bald Head Island! We can't wait to come back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and from all of our hearts) for a wonderful week! Christine and James Armetta and Vincent age 10, Nicholas age 9 and Jacqueline age 7 We would highly recommend staying in this AMAZING home! If anyone would like to talk to us about our experiences, please don't hesitate to contact us.
