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.

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!

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!

Awesome House

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.

Relaxing

My family and friends had the absolute best time at BHI this past week. We adored the house and it was perfect for 3 adults, 1 teen and 2 kids. We found that it had everything we needed for the week, very well appointed. Keepers Landing provides a nice breeze and shade after a long day on the beach and lots of nature. My kids loved fishing off the private dock. Took us about 5 to get to either East or South Beach. Close to the market as well. We will for sure be back!

Is relaxation calling your name?

This property was absolutely radiant. The property is even better then it looks in the pictures. The house set up was perfect for our 10-year wedding anniversary/family vacation. The screened in porch and large deck area allowed our toddlers to run around and play. The house was well stocked with all needed amenities and the suite over the garage was amazing for sleepovers with grandma!! I highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back to visit again! My only regret is that we had to return to reality after only one week! Best vacation rental I’ve stayed in. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Our favorite on BHI yet!!

What a GEM! This was our fifth trip in 5 years to BHI and have rented houses all across the board. For our family solo trip, this place could not be beat. It's nestled into the corner of a large cul-de-sac so the privacy is super peaceful. House is in fantastic shape, very clean and most importantly.....super comfy beds! Chris and Tonya are amazing. This is the first time that we have had such great communication with the home owner and they really care about 1.) the comfort of your stay and 2.) the condition of their property. Thanks for an amazing vacation!!

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
