Wonderful vacation place

We just completed a one week stay at this house. The house was well maintained, plenty of supplies available so you don't have to bring an enormous amount of stuff to enjoy vacation. All appliances worked without issues. Questions to owner were answered promptly. This place is such a great vacation, the golf cart holds six, the beach is walking distance, the beach area is enormous so plenty of space for kids to play and the waves are not too risky. All 3 beds were comfortable with extra comforters were available. The room with the two twin beds does get colder than other rooms. Checkout procedures were completely logical, easy to follow and we were easily able to complete all tasks though our tram pickup was scheduled for 7:15amWe will certainly use the house again if we stay on Bald Head Island again.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a great week at Sandcastle! The house had everything you could need for a week at the beach - sand toys, beach equipment, towels, games, puzzles, etc. The home was very clean too. And easy to get to the beach! We would definitely book again!

Beautiful well-stocked home

The house was beautiful and came with all the necessities (pots, pans, spices) and some of what are typically nice-to-haves (additional paper products, trash bags, etc.). The house had many games, which provided lots of entertainment for the kids. We enjoyed our stay!

Absolutely perfect!

This home was perfect! Super clean, amazing location, classically and beautifully decorated. We packed light for the ferry ride, but the home had everything we needed after a trip to the Maritime Market to get some groceries. This home is well cared for and I can tell well loved. Thank you for the great stay!

Another awesome BHI family beach trip

We loved our stay at Sandcastle by the Sea! The location is perfect, with boardwalk access to the beach. The golf cart is in great condition and we appreciated the bikes, boards and beach chairs!! The cottage was perfect for our family. Our college-age kids loved having the upstairs to themselves and the primary suite downstairs was perfect for my husband and I. The kitchen is compact, but well stocked. This was our 8th time on BHI and one of our favorite rentals. Thanks!

Fabulous beach house!

My family of four spent a week at Sandcastle by the Sea. The house was lovely and in a great location. It is centrally located on the island and just a short golf cart ride to the market, shops and several restaurants. We could easily walk to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked. There are lovely views from every room in the house. The decor is current and beautiful. Kim, the host, was super responsive and made the entire rental process easy. We will be back!!

Great BHI home

What a great rental property! Everything was so clean, the kitchen was well appointed, the beds were comfortable, and the access to the beach was amazing! We really enjoyed walking on the beach every single night. The porch was relaxing and the golf cart was the fastest on the island. The garage was filled with bikes, shibumi shades, chairs and beach toys. Thank you Kim for such a great stay! Would rent here again.

Wonderful Home. Wonderful Host!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean, spacious and decorated tastefully. The beach a short walk out the front door. The host, Kim, was quick to respond and very helpful in every way. When we asked, a day before our arrival, if there was a blender at the house, she replied that the previous occupants had broken it, but that she would have a new one sent asap. It arrived on our first morning in the house. Very highly recommended!
