Will stay again
Our 3rd year renting in Bald Head, and this is our favorite property by a long shot. Great layout, clean, all appliances/utensils/etc. in good condition, and perfect location with easy beach access. We will be rebooking for next year!

Great home, awesome location!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home that’s just been updated! House was very clean and fully stocked when we arrived. We loved the location - beachfront & just close enough to town, but still quiet and removed. Definitely would stay here again!

Great time in a great house
This house has been newly renovated, has new furnishings, a well-equipped kitchen, and is steps from the ocean on a quiet cul-de-sac. The top floor (reverse floor plan with common areas on the top floor) is lined with windows for great views of the ocean all day long. The property manager we spoke to (they are on the island) was very responsive and even provided a (new) slow cooker for our New Year’s Day meal. Check in and check out was simple. These property managers know what they’re doing—provided an excellent experience on Bald Head.

Great Getaway
Great place to stay for a small family. Even though it was cold and windy, we loved the close access to the beach and would go every morning. Nicely decorated and had all the amenities you would need for your stay. Would love to come back in summer!

Nice property
The property was newly remodeled, nicely furnished, and had nice finishes. Great neighborhood, close to beach. We had a small problem with our golf cart not wanting to go into reverse, and the property manager quickly assessed the issue and had it fixed promptly. The only downside is there is no 1/2 bath on the upper level (a reverse floor plan with kitchen, dining, living upstairs). But if steps are not a problem for you, then you will have no negatives.
