We have been regular visitors to BHI for 30 years, and this may be the nicest house we have stayed in. Definitely, now our favorite! The second floor living area is spacious and comfortable, with panoramic views of the dunes and the ocean beyond, and two porches to sit on for morning coffee and lunch. You can hear the waves crashing in the distance. The house is a ways away from South Beach Wynd, so no road noises, and surrounded on two sides by dense foliage. It's in a small cluster of houses, but it was a very quiet neighborhood while we were there. Beach access is direct via a boardwalk from the downstairs porch. The rooms are all comfortable, including the crofter which our son enjoyed using, and the surprising large third story room (with high ceilings, and a bathroom) that our daughter claimed as the "eagle's nest." There was more than enough room for everybody, for our family of four. Oh, and there was lots of beach equipment, unusually well organized and in good condition. One thing to be aware of: since the house is on three levels there are stairs to negotiate on a regular basis (i.e., from bedrooms to living area), and that might be an issue for some. Of note, the owner responded within minutes to any questions we had, before and during our stay. Her availability was much appreciated. I hope we can come back to this house next year.
