Perfect location, great house!

The property was great especially being right across from the beach! We really enjoyed the ping pong table and basketball hoop and having 3 golf carts to use was so convenient. Kitchen was very well stocked as well. Thank you for a great weekend!

We do a BHI Gang getaway each year. 8 of us. The pictures don’t do the house justice. The renovations are great. Access to the beach is fantastic. The decks are wonderful! Lots of chairs. Grill worked. All 3 golf carts worked well (last guests had not plugged in the older two so we had to wait on those). This house should get a 5 rating. The next few comments are hoping the hosts can encourage the team to take better care of the house. The floors were not clean and the bathroom rugs should be washed. The rugs under both dining tables are a huge fall risk. They are curled up and we finally taped them down to keep from tripping. The dishwasher door has been “bent down” and a full rack of dishes rolled right out. The main tv in the family room fell off the wall and hung by the cable until we ran to prop it up. Very scary, could not be disconnected from the tv mount and couldn’t be used. Unfortunately these things happen, but unless the owners are notified by the team that takes care of the house, the problems remain. We spoke with the owners and reported the tv and dishwasher.

Amazing location

The house is in a perfect location directly across the street from the boardwalk to the beach. The home was a perfect layout for two families and had everything the kids could want for the beach and outdoor play. The kitchen is well stocked and there were plenty of beach towels for everyone. Kathy was very responsive and wonderful. Would definitely stay again!

Great BHI rental!

As the listing states, it’s great for families! The beach access is RIGHT THERE- this should almost be considered beach front property (just across the small street.) So convenient to run back for something or bathroom break, etc. Everything was as expected from the rental listing. Lots of games and cards, etc. The downstairs/outdoor area is also very fun with ping pong and a basketball game. Overall we are very satisfied!

Gorgeous home with sunrise views from the back deck and incredible sunset views from the front! We were so appreciative for the beach toys, chairs for everyone and towels! Bikes for everyone too!! Ground level games kept the kids busy while adults enjoyed beverages on one of the many outdoor gathering spaces around the house. Beach was steps away and gave kids ability to run home and grab snacks when they needed to… 3 golf carts let us all do our own thing. Kathy was super responsive and flexible with us! Just don’t forget shampoo and conditioner!

This was a perfect beach getaway for our family vacation We had a wonderful stay at this recently renovated home right across from the beach. The house was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The outdoor space and decks were a huge bonus—plenty of seating, a hammock, and fun activities that kept everyone entertained. It was the perfect spot for our family trip before our son heads off to college. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient beach getaway!

Beautiful home, excellent location for families.

This was our first week at Bald Head and their home was perfect for our family. The layout with open kitchen living dinning was great for time spent together. The porches that basically wrap around the entire house gave us tons of options to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Even the screen in area was a hit. My kids loved the ping pong table and basketball game area under the house. It was a great place for them to play in the shade when not on the beach. House location was perfect for us. Directly across from beach access, extremely very close to BHI club, short golf cart ride to Marina, Old Baldy and the Market. The location in my opinion may be the biggest understatement of the property - can’t beat it!! Three golf carts and beach chairs, grill. It is all there! Homeowner was very responsive and wonderful to rent from, very accommodating - we highly recommend and look forward to coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Myers

Host profile image
We are from the DC area and discovered BHI several years ago. We love to come here for vacation and are fortunate to have found a home to call our own. BHI is the perfect place to relax and really unplug.

Why they chose this property

We love the location right across from the beach and the view of the sunsets and shipping channel. We love riding our bike to the BHI club and the fact that we are just a 10 - 15 minute cart ride to almost anything on the island.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
