Thank you for the review. We appreciate the feedback.
Beautiful forest setting but close enough to Cape Fear that you can hear the surf and feel the ocean breezes. The two porches provided an idyllic reading spot. Comfortable and tasteful furnishings. One note for shorter or less mobile adults: The master bath is a tub shower combo with an extremely high tub edge to step over and no grab bar.

We are happy you enjoyed your stay! We hope you can come back again soon!
The property at 613 Kinnakeet Way, Bald Head Island, NC did not do the photographs of the listing justice. High Tides and Good Vibes exceeded expectations on every level. The word "adorable" comes to mind. Tidy, clean, sweet lines and graceful curves. My wife and I are retiring in a few years and imagined downsizing in to some thing similar. Just loved it. Thank you

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We hope you can come and stay with us again
We liked the location very much. Beds were comfortable. The place sleeps 6 and we had 6. There were no extra blankets, there were 2 extra pillows but no protectors on them. There were no water/juice glasses - just plastic wine glasses (6) and an assortment of mis-matched coffee mugs and random wine glasses. Also, there are not enough plates/bowls to avoid running the dishwasher twice per day. The golf cart is tired and seats only 4, so we had to shuttle. We could obviously deal with all of these inconveniences, so nothing that ruined our stay! The rental company was responsive (our cart lost power and they provided a temporary replacement).
