Our time there was really compromised because road paving was going on which was loud, smelly and inhibited our access to the house. This went on the whole time. Also, the "reverse floor plan" would have been better if there had been a bathroom upstairs.The house's location is beautiful and the realty company was easy to work with and were responsive to our concerns.

Sailing

We love staying at Sailing and is our second time staying here. The home is beautifully furnished and was perfect for our small family. Our 7 year old loved all of the decor inside which provides for lots of fun learning. Great beach views and would highly recommend.

Wonderful peaceful weekend

Wonderful house with a beautiful view and just steps from the beach - very clean and it was just the right size for us - only thing that I would suggest is a bigger bed in the master as there is room for a queen and that would have been better for a couple sleeping than a full bed. The location was perfect and we really enjoyed the island and the golf cart :O)

Thanks again for staying with us! We are so glad you had a great time. Bald Head is a special place! There is actually a queen bed in the master and a full size bed in the guest room. We hope you can make another trip again soon :)

BHI stay

We unfortunately didn’t have great weather, it was unusually cold and rainy however the house was really cozy and in such a wonderful location it was still a great break for me. I come to BHI 1-2 times per year and will likely try to stay in this home again. BHI services team are super kind and welcoming 😊

Dog friendly and great location/view

Loved staying there. Great view, great screen porch with fabulous breeze, fenced in area for dog to go out (but wish it was totally closed in). However my dog is not adventurous so it didn’t really matter but could for some. A bit a trellis could correct that situation. Will be returning in September
