We love BHI and Captain Charlie's did NOT dissapoint! XOXO

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: a great getaway for all that stuff that life brings. Someone needs to check into the kitchen pots and pans, this was the only disappointment in our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: We enjoyed our stay on Bald Head Island. The Conservancy was fabulous - I strongly recommend signing up for some of their offerings. Kelly, the Educational Director, was most enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We stayed in Captain Charley 1. There was a deficiency of teaspoons, but otherwise well equipped.The rental agency was responsive when we made requests. The island is truly amazing.

Would not recommend
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in need of updating, various things need to be fixed (ie there was no stopper for the bath, so our children could not take a bath in the shower/bath), leaks coming through the ceiling (we had to have pots and pans out to catch them so that the floor was not wet and to prevent slips and falls. Also, water flooding in through the front door when it rained, which led to our son having a bad fall. Also we suspect that there is mold in the air vents which led to my son getting sick while we were there. Overall, the house is sadly not in good shape. The rug in the living room needs to be cleaned or replaced as it is filthy and the rotten floor boards beneath it need to be fixed. The floors need to be mopped between rentals and the windows need to be cleaned as we could hardly see out of them - to see the view that we paid top dollar for! There should be at least a broom in the house so that we can sweep up sand. As it is a historical property and high prices are being charged, it needs to be better taken care of. Customer service was good when we reported that the brakes on our golf cart did not work.
