Call Ahead to Heat the Pool!! Waterfront retreat!

(4BR/4.5BA, 2K, 4Q, SLPS 12, 2 Golf Carts, Saturday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 9:30AM / CHECK IN 3:30PM)
Tucked down a winding, shrubbed drive, Coast2Coast-a four bedroom, 4.5 bath waterfront Executive retreat on the Island's West Beach, boasts a large private pool, water panoramas extending from Sunny Point to past Bald Head Point, multiple outdoor living spaces and a private beach access shared only with the home next door. As you enter the hexagonal open floor plan you are awed by expansive water perspectives on three sides. The generous dining area is flanked by glass-allowing you to savor waterscapes with your meals. However, if alfresco is your fancy, step out onto the broad back deck and munch while reveling in breezes off the water. Nearby, the chef's kitchen also serves up gorgeous views and bestows plenty of quartz counter space, a farm sink, Thermador stainless appliances and a breakfast bar accommodating four. The adjacent living area is anchored by an oversize sectional and offers plenty of seating for conversation, movie-watching or game-playing.

Several halls extend from this great room. The first leads to an ample sundeck overlooking the pool. Catch some rays above the pool's fray, yet stay close enough to slip down for a quick dip. Beyond this deck entrance, a sunny, shiplapped King suite provides water scenes on one side and access to the pool deck on the other. Its spa-like bath has a mosaic-tiled floor, his/her vanity, stand-alone tub, water closet and glassed walk-in shower as well as killer ocean aspects. The second hallway traverses past the laundry and a half bath to another beachfront King Master that proffers sliding glass door egress to another deck and is just steps from the home's beach access. This suite also indulges with another pampering full bath. The third hallway reveals an entire wing of the house with two light-filled Queen bedrooms. The first has its own ensuite and a separate balcony overlooking the pool. The second uses the full bath in the hall (that grants access to the pool deck).

Up the stairs in this hallway, you'll find a large living/dining sanctuary surrounded by windows that display even more magnificent ocean tableaus. There are also two outdoor perimeter walkways from where you can breathe in briny breezes as well as relish the sweeping Atlantic. The final door off this hall leads to steps down to the home's workshop/garage-the location of the six- and a four-passenger golf carts. This is also the pool level. Lounge, sun, or picnic by your own exclusive, secluded, heated swimming pool. Pool cannot be heated December through February. swimming pool. Conveniently located close to the ferry, marina, Old Baldy, shops, and restaurants and including WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, a stay at Coast2Coast will become your top choice for a coastal vacation!

Coast to Coast BHI summer family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Coast2Coast is a very nice property and we very much enjoyed our stay. Everything was in good working order with the exception of one overhead ceiling fan in one bedroom. Given it was very hot the week we were there it would have been nice to have this fan in service. We notified property management on Sunday we arrived on Saturday and it was not repaired or replaced during our stay.We still enjoyed our stay and having the pool was great as we all enjoyed it every afternoon.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Sept 2023
Dear Jeff- Thank you for taking the time to review your stay and for letting us know about the fan/not fixing issue. I will send this to management. I hope you will return to the Island again soon. F.A. McLeod, WWP

Great Stay, Few Hiccups

We really enjoyed staying at Coast2Coast. There were a few hiccups: erratic golf carts, a bathroom door lock, a broken window shade and broken ice maker, but those were not as big an issue as the beach. The first day we went out to the beach, we discovered that a very large area of the beach was roped off for bird nesting. While we understand the need to support the wildlife on the island, one of the main reasons we rented this property was for direct access to the beach and ocean, but we had to walk a very long way around this roped off area to get the the beach/water and the younger and older members of our family found it impossible to do this, so we had to go to other beaches during our stay. Nowhere in the property description did it say anything about the fact that from May 15 - September 15, there would not be direct access to the beach. So would it be possible to get some sort of compensation for this inconvenience? Thank you for your consideration. We always enjoy renting from Wendy Wilmott Properties.

Coast2Coast Post Wedding Celebration

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 celebrated a Post Wedding Vacation for our Family and the home had a layout to accommodate an All Adult Celebration. One of the only homes on the Island with 4 Large Rooms with Queen & above Beds. The home had all amenities we were seeking to make our stay enjoyable. The pool was refreshing and used daily. Albeit the pool bottom was a bit dirty with grit, the water was clean and with the heater was nice in the evening. The Kitchen & Grill served our family and friends well! The Observatory with a 360 view was fantastic for coffee & sunset wine! The river basin feeding the ocean drew nasty biting flies, but that is Island Life. We highly recommend Coast2Coast for Adult Families seeking quality time and served as a Blessing to our Celebration!

Coast to Coast

We loved our stay at Coast to Coast. The setup is perfect for 2 or 3 families with plenty of room to spread out. The house is well equipped with everything you need for your stay. There were plenty of beach chairs and a cart, which is a bonus. The pool was such a great addition for late afternoons or questionable weather days. A game changer and not easy to come by on Bald Head. We also really loved the sound side views of the ships coming and going, and used the beach in front of the house some. A couple of things would have made our stay even better that are worth mentioning. A vacuum cleaner or floor sweeper of some sort for those of us who prefer to keep things clean would be a plus. Also, with a big group we found that the one fridge and the small beverage cooler wasnt enough. We had to go to the store daily for ice to keep things in our coolers. An additional fridge would be amazing, and a working ice maker. I understand these are luxuries. The last item though, was a bit frustrating. The bunk room light/fan switch didn't work properly for our entire stay. The light had to be on for the ceiling fan to operate, so the room stayed pretty warm for the top bunk kids. The rental company said it was aware and had a call in to an electrician, but it never happened while we were there. It seems like it should have been a quick fix, not one that extended more than a week. Otherwise, we loved the place and intend to rent again next year!

Disappointed

I’ve been visiting Bald Head Island for the last 15 years with my family. It’s our favorite island! I’ve stayed in many homes across the island and they’ve all been a pleasure to stay in. This was my grandsons very first beach trip (he’s 9 months old) It was also our first time staying ocean front. The first night we killed two big spiders on the sectional couch. The next day we start killing what looked like cockroaches all in the kitchen. I start to video some of this and around 1am I went to get a snack in the kitchen I see a roach running across the count so I flip on the light and not only were there roaches but the ceiling had 7 or 8 big spiders just crawling around. I called maintenance and they came out. I was told they come out alot to service that property but due to the 8 days of rain prior to us staying it was going to be hard to get rid of the bugs. There was also mold in my daughter’s bathroom on the ceiling. I called and talked to Joan who said she’d talk to the owner and see what they could do for us. I sent what videos I had to her and the pictures. She told me she’d call me back the Saturday we checked out. I have yet to get a call. I’ve called back 5 times and they just send me to her voicemail. I’ve left messages and no return phone call. I would not ever stay here again and it was very disappointing to pay as much as we did to have our experience with our kids and grandson somewhat ruined. Everyone was worried about the roaches and spiders It was awful!

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Aug 2024
Hello Wendy and thank you for taking the time for this review. I apologize that you had trouble during your stay and appreciated your calls and videos. After you contacted us we did have our pest control technician out to the house the same day to treat the property. The home is on a regular pest maintenance program and is treated routinely. We have never had a problem at this property before but did take your report seriously and responded immediately. The pest control technician did report that he saw 3 dead palmetto bugs at the property and 1 spider. Fortunately they were all dead due to the regular treatments at the property. I do understand your alarm at seeing these bugs, they are indigenous to the island and do sometimes come inside during the hot and humid weather in this area. I apologize again that you had to encounter them during your stay with us. The mildew around the A/C vent in the house was due to the extreme temperature difference between the cold A/C and the hot air in the attic around the ductwork. We have had that cleaned and it has not returned fortunately. I did phone you and leave a voicemail but perhaps you did not receive it. I will reach out to you again. Thank you again for your review, it does help us in identifying areas that need improvement in both our properties and our services. Kind regards, Joan
