Could not have been better. Initial problem with fridge cooling and help was immediate - even offered to bring a second fridge. Golf carts in great condition, ideal location. Could not have been better.

Chirico Needs Cheering Up

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very good rental experience. We hosted a post-wedding dinner at Chirico which required more than the usual vacation planning. Jennifer Ayers from Intracoastal Realty was EXTRAORDINARY! She was so accommodating, answering all of my questions, providing us with the dimensions of the dining table, meeting my husband and I the month before our rental date to show us the house so we could take pictures for the florist. I would highly recommend Intracoastal Realty's BHI rental division. The views and the wraparound porches on the front, back and sides of the home were spectacular! Our only disappointment was the interior condition of the property. The home is curiously stuffed with furniture making it hard to move around in some of the bedrooms and the two family room areas. Additionally, the house was very dirty and we spent the first day vacuuming the floors and some of the furniture. Chirico needs an interior paint job and some new (and far less) furniture. I would recommend Chirico for a party of 8 or less however at full capacity (15, I think?) it would be very uncomfortable to move around the home.

Thank you for your comments, we truly appreciate them! We will share your feedback with the owners, thank you. I am terribly sorry the house was not as clean as you expected, we would have gladly sent our Housekeeping crew to go over anything you felt wasn't clean. We hope to see you all back on BHI soon!

Bills Family at Chirico House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a GREAT vacation with all of our children, their spouses and all of our grandchildren - 14 in total. The Chirico house was perfect - right on the ocean spacious, beautiful, 6 beautiful bedrooms all with on-suites. The Intracoastal personnel we dealt with were the best. We had particularly good dealings with (our apology if the spellings are wrong) Glasco, Pam, Tquiry, Jennifer & several others whose names we have unfortunately forgotten. Whenever we had a need or an issue Intracoastal had someone to assist immediately - very impressive. Several things could have been better:1. Cleanliness of the storage room in the garage. It was a mess. Chairs, floats and many other things just thrown in and everything very sandy.2. Several of the bathrooms had sewer gas smell. Intracoastal was very good about sending folks out quickly to remedy the smell, but in the end there was still an issue.3. Not enough hangers in the bedrooms.4. We were disappointed with our inability to use the Bald Head Island club. To their credit they clearly forewarned that dinner reservations were needed a week in advance and pool two days. That said, we were not able to get into the pool despite persistent effort over several days and each time with 2 days notice. 5. Catered dinner from Maritime Market for our 14 person group was excellent and ready on time.

Perfect location

Can’t beat the beach front location. House was spacious and clean. The kitchen was well equipped. The internet was fast and reliable.
