The house was located in a nice area but many things need attention. Living room sofa is so soiled and dirty we didn’t sit on it. Patio furniture was all dirty and we had to clean them to even use them. Upstairs patio furniture was all rearranged and we had to arrange back to use. Property listed bikes for use but Only two of the five bikes worked - one was completely apart. House came with beach towels but had to reach out to host to get beach towels brought to the house. TV remotes didn’t work. Ice maker in freezer was broken. Linens on beds had a lot of stains on them.
Property was gorgeous! Spacious living room and bedrooms. We've stayed at several different properties on the island over the years and this house was perfect.
Such a beautiful home, in the perfect location. The owner was extremely responsive and communicative when we had any questions!! I agree with a past review .. a touch more wear than I expected ie: keureg broken, the golf cart non reliable , but the owner compensated for a cart rental! Overal, great house!!!! Great owner.
Wonderful stay at Writer's Way. Despite the cold winter weather, the house was fantastic for a long weekend. Everything was clean and comfortable and the included golf cart was a nice added benefit.We would definitely stay at this home again!
The house was wonderful and exactly as described. Just a 5 minute walk to the beach, exceeded all our expectations! Clean, spacious, beautiful! We will absolutely be visiting this home again in the future!
This home is stunning and perfectly appointed. It was flawlessly decorated and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. The location was excellent. We plan to return and stay here when on the island and are already looking to book our next trip.
Our family spent a week at BHI. The location of the house is absolutley perfect. Rich was very responsive and helpful. Our vacation was fantastic in large part due to the house being so comfortable and inviting. We will be back!
Great house, great location, comfortable furniture and beds. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If there was one note to future guests, it might be too confirm how many beach chairs are available as there were only four beach chairs while we were there which was not enough for our group. Not a big deal as many of us were fishing, but if we were there in the summer and wanting to relax on the beach, we would’ve had to figure something out. Overall, wonderful spot and excellent stay and would absolutely stay at this place again!
Our family of had a great week at BHI. The house was perfectly situated for our many trips to the Shoals Club. We had plenty of room to cook and relax in the evening. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we were able to stream Wimbledon as we ate our breakfast! We took full advantage of the island biking, swimming, sun bathing, golfing, and playing croquet. Perfect week!
We have rented in BHI for many consecutive years, and this was definitely one of our favorite homes so far. There is plenty of beautiful space to spread out and get comfortable in this home. Bedrooms are large and beds are great. Bathrooms are well designed and spacious. The home is bright and beautifully decorated, and the location cannot be beat! Rich was very responsive and reliable, and we would definitely rent this home again!

Thank you Marianne and for dealing with the cart issues in such a respectful manner! Love to host you and your family anytime!
Great house, great location. Our family of 4 stayed here with some friends and their 3 young kids (9 total) and it was perfect. Very clean house with all of the amenities. The kitchen is really well stocked, which was perfect for us as we cooked all meals in. Rich, the owner, was incredibly responsive and patient with our somewhat frequent asks. We are already plotting our next visit back in the Fall, hopefully when it’s not 38 degrees and windy! Despite the weather, we had a really great time. BHI never fails us!
