We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this property on Bald Head Island. I really liked the decor of the condo and the space worked very well for our family of 5. It was clean and fresh and bright and we didn't have any issues at all. My favorite part of the rental was the screened-in porch, where we ate most of our meals, listened to the sounds of the marsh, and even watched a few sunrises. We loved being able to watch the Osprey nest from the boardwalk out back and had fun with our cheap collapsible Amazon-purchased crab trap, seeing what we could pull up out of the water next to the dock and then release. With 5 of us, it was great to have two golf carts and we didn't have any problems with them. The location of this condo was convenient to all the different things we wanted to do and Hope was pleasant to work with and very responsive to questions.
A few tips for future visitors:
-We went to three different programs offered by the Conservancy and they were all fabulous. I would definitely recommend checking this out, regardless of the age of your kids (mine are teens). Our favorite was the night time nature exploration.
-The Maritime Market is very expensive and this particular rental does not stock much in the way of pantry basics. (though there were plenty of dishes, pans, knives, etc). If you know you'd like to have certain items on hand (ie cinnamon or garlic salt or cling wrap, etc) and it's reasonable to pack them to bring, I would do so!
-This rental is a lower unit. There was a family in the unit above us and I truly believe they weren't doing anything remarkable up there, but the noise of their footsteps across the ceiling of our unit was unexpectedly loud. If someone upstairs got up in the night to go to the bathroom, we all were awake for a few minutes with them! The fact they had small children who were up and on the move bright and early didn't resonate well with my teens, who would have preferred to sleep in a bit. It wasn't a big deal...but something to be aware of if these noises would potentially bother you.
-The take-out pizza from the Mexican restaurant was very good!
-Be sure to take in as many sunsets from the west side of the island as you can!
If we were to return to Bald Head Island we would be happy stay here again...I would definitely recommend this rental to you!
