Comment: During this wave of COVID, I appreciated the bike rental agency mandating indoor mask wearing. Other merchants felt this was optional. The tram ride was rather crowded and not everyone wore a mask.It felt like Intracoastal Realty was sensitive to these concerns. I wish others were.

Reviewer Comments: Overall it was an amazing vacation and when we needed assistance with our cart over the weekend, response was immediate, which was surprising in a good way. Minor maintenance issues in the house (i.e. bathroom door rubs on floor), but overall a great house. Will definitely be renting again. Thank you.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Have stayed at CC 3 and 1 several times before we purchased a unit at Hammocks. Sold Hammocks last year and returned for a week in June at CC 2. The unit was clean as you can get an older unit but was in disrepair in several areas. Both keys never worked well in the locks. Service folks did use some penetrating oil which helped some but locks were always hard to unlock. At our request screen door needed to have a new latch but a front on one of the kitchen cabinets was never reattached leaving sharp screw points exposed. Some very simple additions could be added while still maintaining the “original CC decor. Adding a couple of towel holders in the bathroom. These could be very simple and not affect the overall decor. We called about the trash bin top falling off and this was never repaired! Additional close hooks in the entryway could be added without changing the overall decor. We knew what we were getting into when we rented one the CC group but expected better upkeep than what we experienced. Thanks for making it easy to provide input. Hope this info helps the next renter.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The ocean breeze and wave melody through Captain Charlie’s screen doors are unforgettable. Our first visit to Bald Head Island set a high standard with this uniquely charming stay. We can’t wait to return! The cottage is beautifully maintained and furnished with a thoughtful layout. We would love to see a little more attention to stocking well for guests with the kitchen, bathroom, and puzzles/games. We made the most of packing with rolling tubs of beach supplies and basic house supplies. We would also recommend a king bed in at least one bedroom and new window screens throughout. Thank you to the owners and management team for sharing Captain Charlie’s with us!

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: We had a great time in Captain Charlie’s 2! My wife and two baby boys stayed for 8 nights and loved everything about it. It is a perfect cozy size for a couple or small family, private beach access, and just a short drive from the market. We never felt cramped but if you are looking for a lot of space you might want to consider the other Captain Charlie’s homes 1 and 3 which have 3 bedrooms compared to this one’s 2. Management was also very helpful and easy to work with, meeting us personally as we got off the ferry, arranging all logistics for us and helping us add on additional nights to our stay. We will be coming back very soon!
Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2021

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately, the benefits of renting a beach house were lost due to beach renourishment project. We did not have use of our private beach access boardwalk. We also did not sleep well due to the heavy machinery at work. The house shook as the six bulldozers worked around the clock. The disappointment was that this situation was never communicated to us by the rental agency. We would have never rented this cottage if we had known we would not have beach access or that we would leave our vacation more exhausted than when we arrived. We have been coming out to BHI for 25 years and this is the first time we have used this rental agency. We will not use this rental agency in the future.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you want luxury....this is not it. The Captain Charlie beach houses are old...and small.....but the porches are the star of the show....with wonderful, sturdy rockers for you to enjoy the best ocean and sunset views on the island. The kitchen needs help....a new toaster, a spatula, a can opener...also, you need to bring paper towels and toilet paper. CCII has one bathroom which is between the 1st and 2nd floor. So you must manage stairs every trip to the bathroom, no matter where you are in the house. We prefer something fresher, newer, and cleaner ... BUT....the privacy and great views bring us back to Captain Charlie's time and time again.
