Anual BHI Family Vacation

Enjoyed our annual Bald Head Island vacation. Happy Honu worked great for our family! Great amenities and layout. If offered everything we needed. Love the location and the proximity to east beach. 6 and 4 passenger carts and the 4 bikes worked great as well! Would highly recommend staying here.

Great place, but with some issues

We had a great trip. It's a good-size home and we liked that everyone had their own bathroom. The kitchen was well-stocked as was the beach supplies and some of the best bikes I've ever had at a rental. One issue we had was the refrigerator ice dispenser and water dispensers were not working from day one. There wasn't even a flange to depress to get water or ice. This was clearly an issue before. BHI Services made an attempt to have a maintenance guy fix it but then determined that it would be too challenging and told us just to use the two tiny ice trays in the freezer. The other issue was the downstairs bunk bedroom gets hot - like really hot. They are also aware of this and have 3 portable fans in that room. The ceiling fan however was broken and on 2 occasions we requested BHI Services to deal with that and that was never addressed. At some point they just stopped emailing about it. We've had success with BHI Services before, but they are clearly overloaded or just don't care any more. All in all, it's a good place so long as they get the refrigerator fixed and find a way to keep that downstairs room as cool as the rest of the house.
