Beautiful home in an exquisite location. The house was clean and had plenty of space. We have stayed in many places through VRBO and chose 4 stars. Furnishings and decor were beautiful and comfortable. The check in policy is very rigid regarding early check in. The coffee bar was sparsely stocked, as well as limited towels. It was wonderful having a golf cart. If you enjoy biking the bikes that are provided are very small cruisers. Great location- close to the beach.

Ït had the right dynamics for the few days we could be here. Loved the bicycle and the cart. It was a great time with family in a very special place. Played Pickleball, shopped for food and stuff, plus a coffee run even though we had coffee available. Sight seeing all over the island. Packed a lot in.

Great stay!

My wife and her friends booked their annual girls’ trip and decided on bald head island and this rental. They all really enjoyed their stay and my wife got to sleep in the separate suite which she likened to a treehouse. The owner was very responsive and they all enjoyed the beauty of the island. They also really enjoyed the hospitality of everyone on the island as well. Great stay!
