This was a fabulous rental for me, my husband, our twin 5 year olds, and my in-laws. We traveled through a blizzard to get to the island and although we were delayed by a day, our communication with Barbara was so helpful and pleasant. Even while booking flights/ trams I had multiple conversations with Barbara and she was so helpful to make sure I had the timing right to arrive and depart the island. The location is to die for: looking out over the ocean and a beautiful boardwalk to the beach (South beach). Multiple mornings we saw a pod of dolphins frolicking and feeding right from the boardwalk! Even pelicans swooping and feeding alongside them. Such a cool experience for my girls who had never seen the ocean before to see dolphins. The house itself was very well appointed with beach towels, beach chairs and sand toys, 2 warm and private outdoor showers, an awesome 6 seater golf cart, and all the kitchen items you could want. There was even a serving tray and basket that we used to have a beach picnic one day. So fun! We decided to use the Bald Head Island Market delivery service to have our food shopped for and delivered for our arrival and I couldn't recommend this more. They purchased all the items including beverages and not only did they deliver them to the house for our arrival, but they stocked them in the fridge and displayed them on the counter which was a welcoming sight walking in after our travel delay. A little spendy but worth it for a big vacation to be able to focus on spending time with each other instead of shopping. The sleeping rooms were perfect including the 3rd floor "kids room" with a fun loft and multiple beds. The upstairs primary bedroom has a balcony overlooking the ocean and was a fun location for sunset happy hours. We got a guest membership at the BHI Club and took full advantage of the restaurants, pools, and golf. My husband had a blast on the course with resident alligators sunning themselves at almost every hole. The club had a splashpad that was undergoing repairs on our first day and took a few days to fully heat up so we spent most of our swimming in the ocean right outside our front door. Overall you will absolutely love the location, the house itself, and the island as a whole. If you're on the fence, just book it, its worth it! We made some really fun memories here and know that you will too.
