Keepers Landing

Me, my wife, and our adult children enjoyed a week in Keepers Landing on Bald Head Island. Communications were excellent and clear, and the place was very clean and comfortable. We've been going to BHI for decades, and this is the only time all of the bicycles at the house were in working shape. Overall, it was a wonderful and relaxing week, and the house definitely made it easy. Recommend!

Family Beach Vacation

We had a great time on Bald Head Island. It was our first visit. We really enjoyed driving the golf cart all over the island. The beaches were fantastic. We spent our time at the Cape Fear area (Beach Access 39). The grocery store was well stocked and the restaurants were good. The house had all of the conveniences of home. The size of the home was perfect for our family of home. We didn't even use the bedroom above the detached garage ...it would have been perfect for a mother-in-law, friend or older child. We liked that the house was located in an area with lots of big trees, as it kept the temperatures more comfortable. Chris was very responsive to our questions. We highly recommend this home for your Bald Head visit.

Beautiful house with outdoor space

We had family renting another house in Keepers Landing so wanted to be nearby. This was perfect! The house works so well for its size - only two bedrooms in the main house (third in the crofter), but the living space both inside and outside was spacious and welcoming. It's a corner lot, which gives a ton of privacy and really is the best deal on this side of Keepers Landing. We spent hours on the screened porch with its very comfy couch, and had dinners at the outdoor table. We didn't use the grill but would next time. In cooler weather, we'd have also used the pretty outdoor patio. The kitchen was well stocked with oils and spices and the large fridge and washer/dryer were appreciated! Only down side was one golf cart instead of two, so we rented a second one which can be a little pricey. Still, would absolutely stay here again! Owner was very responsive, too!

Family Beach trip

We truly enjoyed this property. The space was perfect and comfortable for our family of 4. We loved the location and the proximity to East Beach. It was also nice to have bikes for all of us, beach gear and access to the creek. The weather was beautiful and allowed us to enjoy the outdoor area of the house as well.

Five Star Experience

I would not hesitate to book this beautiful home again! They thought of everything, it was clean, well stocked, the golf carts were in great shape and worked perfectly, they provided clear instructions, and the communication was excellent. The house is beautiful, and the bedroom and bathroom set up was great for us and our two married children and their spouses. The beds are very comfortable and there were lots of extra pillows. Chris was very responsive and accommodating. We arrived at 1pm, and he allowed us to drop our bags and use the golf carts until the cleaners were finished. Great VRBO experience! Thank you, Chris!

As former 5-star VRBO owners, we are well acquainted with what it takes to have a premier property. This house has everything you could ask for and then some. The beds are comfy, the location was near our son’s house and the owners were always accessible and good communicators. We can highly recommend this rental. You’ll be happy here — guaranteed !

Secluded, Comfortable, Quality

We recently stayed at this property with our adult children. The set up worked wonderfully for us as the crofter allows extra privacy for adults. The home is well maintained, kitchen is well stocked, nicely decorated and very comfortable for everyone! Nice touches with puzzles and games and beach toys, chairs and even a Shibumi! We loved sitting on the screened porch at night listening to the sounds of the Maritime forest! Any small issues we had were promptly resolved and the owner was super responsive. If you are looking for a secluded, comfortable place to stay on the island, Dreamstead is highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Bowstead

Host profile image
We're a married couple residing in Raleigh, NC, with two delightful kids. Our fondness for Bald Head Island grew after our first visit. We make it a priority to come back whenever possible to enjoy the sun, beach, and various activities the island has to offer. Sharing this island experience with others is something we truly enjoy

Why they chose this property

Bald Head Island is a one-of-a-kind destination off the North Carolina coast, a truly special place. Our community, Keepers Landing, is located on the east side of the island. It's quiet, serine, and provides easy access to East Beach

What makes this property unique

Our property stands out as the best lot in Keepers Landing. Positioned as a corner lot, it boasts a spacious open deck, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. The additional distance between the main house and the 'crofter' (the apartment above the garage) ensures enhanced privacy for guests staying in the house

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
