"The property was nice with great views of the ocean. We are an elderly couple and a bit disappointed that there was only one chair in the den since we do not sit well on soft sofas. That would not matter to most people. Interesting decor."

Bald Head Island Family Retreat with private pool, BHI & Shoals!

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing trip! The home was very comfortable, beautifully appointed, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. At first glance, I thought it had a private pool, but it was actually a community pool shared by a few nearby homes. That turned out not to be an issue at all. The pool was just across the road, clean, spacious, and a wonderful place to relax and unwind.The home itself was very clean, although I would suggest cleaning the downstairs exterior windows so guests can better enjoy the beautiful wooded scenery. The rooms were spacious, and the king beds were incredibly comfortable after long days of boating and exploring.The sunsets were simply breathtaking! We especially enjoyed taking the golf carts, graciously provided by the owners, down to the beach each afternoon. While there were many amenities we didn’t have time to use, the home was thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need, including beach supplies.Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we made some great memories."
