Opportunity Knocks is all that's advertised and much more. The location is superb - across the street from the village boat and kayak launch, walking distance to the Village Chapel and Old Baldy, and the shortest of golf cart rides to the marina and Merchants Row (groceries, retail). The house is well designed and stocked with everything you'll need for a wonderful vacation, from a slow cooker to two kinds of coffee makers to beach chairs galore and bikes and beach toys and the list goes on. The view of the 6th fairway off the back porches is peaceful and serene. The golf carts that come with the house are top-notch and that isn't always the case on BHI. Finally, the owners are extremely thoughtful and communicative, always eager to please. We can't recommend Opportunity Knocks and its owners enough!

We had the best week on BHI, staying at Opportunity Knocks. It is the most welcoming, comfortable house that we have ever rented for a week at the beach. It has a beautifully stocked kitchen, spacious living areas, a wonderful screened in porch, and comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. The beach chairs and towels were a HUGE help so that we did not have to bring them over on the ferry. We can't wait to come back again!

Opportunity Knocks "Knocked" it out of the ballpark!

We've been to BHI a dozen times and this is the 1st home we've rented 2x. It has everything you need and then some! The Kings are super responsive and truly desire their renters to have a wonderful experience. We will be back a 3rd time!

We really enjoyed our stay on Bald Head at Opportunity Knocks! Michelle and Jeffery were responsive to all questions we had leading up to the trip which helped us pack and plan appropriately. The house is in a great location, close to just about everything on the island. All the amenities in the house were great and many brand new. They were also very responsive to our questions during our stay. If you are headed to Bald Head, book this house!

Perfect Opportunity

This was our 12th trip to BHI and the first time we would rebook a home. From the cleanliness, to the cookware to the beach towels-everything was perfect! Plus the decor and screened in porch all made for a relaxing and special week!

Great getaway at beautiful home

This home was perfect for our family of seven. Michelle and Jeffrey were amazing hosts always responsive to questions making sure we had a great stay. Home was flawless, well maintained and large enough to allow us to enjoy ourselves while immersing in the beauty of BHI. This is our fourth time to the island and we will definitely be back at opportunity knocks again!

Great stay!

This house was perfect for our family of young adults and teens! Michelle was a very responsive host and the house was fully stocked with all the amenities we needed. The location allowed us to skip the tram because we simply walked from the marina to the house and picked up the golf carts to transport our own luggage. The bikes, beach chairs and golf carts were new and the grill was stocked with an extra supply of propane. Rent this house!!!

Loved our time at opportunity knocks

Beautiful home. Slight hiccup with check in but very quickly resolved. Very prompt response time to any questions. Nice clean, well laid out house. We used the beach chairs daily and loved having 2 options for golf carts. Loved the extra touches and always enjoy our time at BHI! Thanks for hosting us!!

Opportunity Knocks was fantastic!

We stayed on this property for 12 days. It was me, my wife and our four children ages 7-13. Property was easy to get to, clean, comfortable, and very nice. Kitchen was well stocked and we used it a ton over the two weeks with no issues. Good view of the golf course, and the screened in porch on the top level was the perfect spot to unwind or enjoy my morning coffee. I would definitely stay here again. The property owner was also very friendly and answered a bunch of questions for while we were planning our stay. Very helpful!

Clean, spacious and Very Beautiful!

This house has a unique layout-majority of bedrooms downstairs and when you walk up beautiful wooden stairs, windows welcome you to a spacious open floor plan. The back deck has views of the golf course. Grill needed a good cleaning but propane tank was full. That was very much appreciated! Lots of beach chairs and really nice golf carts. From booking to departure, all went without a hitch!

Late summer family escape

We stayed here with our teens and post teens and dog and had a blast. I wish our teens had been more social but that’s the age. They each enjoyed their spaces, the Xbox, the hammock, and their freedom, the bikes were great for them. The four person cart has a Lithium battery and was amazing, much better performance than any cart we have ever gotten. The.kitchen was much better stocked than most with every spice we could need and a kettle and mixer which were unexpected (we brought our own). Very wonderful hosts who were incredibly responsive and generous!

Amazing BHI vacation

Jeff and Michelle’s place on BHI is nothing short of amazing. Everything was exactly as advertised and better. The house was fully stocked with everything you need for your vacation. They had sand toys for the kids, beach chairs, beach towels, as well as everything you needed in the kitchen. The welcome gift basket on the counter was a super nice touch. The house is super convenient to the marina and everything else on the island. Communication with Jeff and Michelle was a breeze. They were very attentive and answered every question we had. We are already booking at their house for our trip next year. I would highly recommend booking their place.

We had a great week at Opportunity Knocks. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. The home has a nice, comfortable layout. First floor has the 2nd master suite across the hall from the 2 bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill bath and a sitting room for gaming with access to the lower wrap around deck. The upper level has a large, open living, dining and kitchen layout with the master bedroom conveniently located off of the living area. Plenty of room to spread out. We loved all the upper and lower level porches and the screened porch, all with great views. The house is conveniently located to everything. House was well stocked with necessities, bikes, beach supplies. 4 and 6 person golf carts were great.
