Great location with everything you need to enjoy your stay in BHI. Convenient location to the BHI Club, golf carts to get to beaches and comfortable stay when you leave the beach.

We will be back and choose this home every time! This was, without a doubt, the best vacation we have taken in 20 years! The home had absolutely everything we could have needed. From the well-stocked kitchen to the puzzles, games, and toys, to the incredibly comfortable beds and couches, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The views of the ocean and lagoon from the home are absolutely spectacular! Having beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach toys already provided made everything so easy and allowed us to simply relax and enjoy our time together. This home truly checked every box for our family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you!!

Best time in this lovely home with great ocean views on the decks and very well stocked with just about everything you need for a fun time at the beach. Easy walk to the beach and having 2 golf carts to use was great for the boys to go fishing and the girls to go to the spa. Highly recommend for a getaway on a beautiful island.

Great place to stay, nice accommodations. Great location — close to beach, BHI Club, marina, market. Two golf carts was a plus so we could go in different directions if we wanted. Would stay again!

Spring Getaway

We came for a long weekend to spend time with family. The home was nicely situated close to the marina and with good ocean views. It was great to have 2 golf carts at our disposal, as well as the beach chairs and towels. The kitchen was well equipped also. We were very happy with the home.

Villa #14 was great!

The comfortable, cozy villa with cheerful decor was clean and had all the kitchen amenities we needed. We loved staying here in #14! The views are beautiful and access to the beach was easy. We had fun exploring the island in the golf cart, learning the history and even climbing Old Baldy. The food at Delphina's was great as well as the Mojo's takeout we picked up. But most of all we loved the location and picturesque setting of Villa#14. Perfect!

Great Spot!

We had a great time at Doctors Orders! Location, amenities etc! When we reported a cracked toilet seat in the master, the on-site maintenance crew came out to fix ASAP! My only recommendation would be some light updates/improvements and painting to freshen the property.

No problem

House was as described. There were minor issues but the rental company was extremely responsive. I would rent from them again without question. Love that they let us arrive early and use the golf cart without going in the house.

Everything was great and everything was supplied. Only suggestion is that the downstairs bedroom televisions didn’t work. Instructions should be beside each one

Nice Location

Property is in need of attention. Kitchen has peeling paint on cabinets and both showers need a do over. TV had limited offerings. Smaller golf cart needs a new battery and I would NOT mention availability of bikes--as those at the unit we certainly NOT usable for adults!

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Nov 2022
This is a fairly updated home and we are surprised to hear of these issues as we touch base during your stay and after and did not hear of these concerns. The TVs are smart TVs giving you access to any type of app of your choosing. We have an after hours staff and would have been more than happy to come over and help with operating. The golf cart is on a monthly maintenance program and it has not had any issues and the golf cart company has not made us aware of any maintenance needs. We do not guarantee bikes with our homes as stated in our listing due to the difficulty of upkeep with purchasing parts on the island. We work hard in maintaining our homes and would have been more than happy to help with any concerns while you were here.
