Relaxing stay at Golden Retreat
My husband and I live in Wilmington but needed a reset from the busy day to day. We stayed at Golden retreat for four nights and got that rest and relaxation we needed. The screened in porch was ideal for all meals, games and reading. We used it during all varieties of weather-hot, rainy, and windy. You cannot beat the view. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking full meals as was the house with comfie pillows, towels and beach gear. We would stay again and have already recommended it to friends.

Great place!
I owned a high on vacation rental on the Isle of Palms near Charleston for almost 20 years, so my expectations were high. A Golden Retreat is a lovely property that is fully equipped and very comfortable. Ideally situated on the salt marsh, there's an unbelievably nice breeze on the screened porch and a wonderful view of the marsh and wildlife. We found literally everything we needed in the kitchen. In addition, they included beach towels and even had dog towels! The six-person golf cart was key, never even got around to using the second one but nice to know it was there. Communication with owners/managers very responsive and quick, they were very accommodating in every way. Well done!

Great place highly recommend!!
If you are looking for a great place to stay while at BHI we found it! Newly renovated, stocked very well and location is perfect. My family stayed for a long weekend and enjoyed the dock and kayaking in the marsh. Close the market and just a quick golf cart ride to the beach!! Hosts were easy to work with and attentive to so many details. Will definitely be back and would stay here again and again!

Great Location, Fully Stocked
Overall, the condo was fine for our family. The golf carts worked great, and the creek view was gorgeous. The condo is well-stocked with everything you'll need to cook, but it is time for an end of season deep clean and new mattresses and bedding. These are older condos, and it is just time for some updates. This is a pet friendly unit, and there was a lot of pet hair all over the condo. Also, this is an upstairs unit. It was fine for our family, but just something I didn't realize when I booked it. If you have never visited Bald Head, make sure to take your own food. The restaurants on the island were some of the worst and most expensive, and a 1/2 gallon of milk on the island is $9. We will certainly go back because the island just forced us to relax and slow down, but we will take our own food next time. The beaches are dreamy as well.

Amazing!
We brought a group of 12 year old girls to BHI for an end of summer girls trip… 5 kids and 2 adults. It was AMAZING. I had my paddle board and enjoyed sun rises from the creek… got the kids out on the kayaks. The pool was just a couple doors down. The island is small so we were close to everything… and getting there on the golf cart was half the fun We’ve stayed at a lot of properties and this may have been my favorite. Well stocked, super cute. I slept in the master and the bed was very comfortable. Everything about it was perfect. We will definitely be back!!

Perfect Stay
This is our 3rd year coming to BHI, and we love staying on the marsh side of the island. A Golden Retreat was absolutely perfect for two families vacationing together. The marsh view from the screened porch is magical. The kids really enjoyed the loft. Kitchen is well-stocked. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful stay!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at A Golden Retreat. We had everything we needed in the condo to enjoy our trip. Our favorite part was the screened in porch and views of the marsh. Only complaint was the noise from construction going on at the complex, but that wasn't in anyone's control. We would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, affordable place to stay on Bald Head. We hope to be back! Thank you!!

Beautiful home with spectacular views of the creek and marsh!
What a great home at Bald Head Island! It had everything we needed in the kitchen and living area and was beautifully decorated! So spacious! Also, loved the central location so you could get to the beaches and the harbor in no time. Large screened-in porch for morning coffee or meals! We loved our long weekend here and can't wait to book this home again!!!

A Golden Retreat
We had a wonderful time at A Golden Retreat. The condo is beautifully decorated, the kitchen well stocked and everything was clean & comfortable. The location of Timbercreek is close to all BHI has to offer and yet while there it felt like we had the island to ourselves. We loved just hanging out on the screened-in-porch in the early mornings and evenings experiencing the ever-changing nature of the marsh. The team from iTrip was amazing. Extremely responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay.

Great Trip to BHI!
Even with a few days of concern due to Hurricane Ian, our trip to BHI was wonderful again this year! A Golden Retreat was a perfect spot to enjoy kayaking in the marsh and just relaxing! When the weather got a little rough on Thursday and Friday, the condo was like being in a tree house with a front row view of the changes to the marsh! We felt very safe and had a spectacular view!

Nice condo. Well managed.
We had a very good experience with our rental of A Golden Retreat. The condo is nicely furnished, well maintained, and clean. The kitchen had nice quality appliances and cookware and was stocked with everything we needed to prepare and serve meals. Despite being a pet friendly unit, there were no pet smells or hair so don't hesitate to rent it if you are not a pet person. The management company was responsive and easy to communicate with. I have no complaints about our experience at A Golden Retreat and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Great low key vacation
Long history on bald head island - this was the perfect size and set up for our family. Managers made things quite easy! One note - bald head island club is full capacity and currently with strict limits so many guest memberships wont actually get to go. Dont worry - you wont need it ! The island is all you need - and this condo is wonderful !
