Great location and all amenities were available as described. Also, the communication with our hosts was very timely and responsive. We really only had 2 issues during our stay:1. There is a persistent "wet dog" smell in the front bedroom. 2. The floors had not been sufficiently cleaned. Other than that we loved our vacation time and our stay on Bald Head Island.

Sibling Trip 2025

Perfect place for a few days of catching up. Each sibling had their own room. The upstairs was a great place to play cards, listen to music, watch the Pacers and sit out on the porch to watch the activity on Cape Fear River and sunsets. The golf cart was fully charged and a great way to explore the island. We also rented bikes and explored the island one day. Beach access was perfect. We were able to walk the beach, sit at the beach to watch sunsets and fish off the beach. We didn’t buy a guest membership to the club, so restaurant options were limited. Jules, Jailhouse Provisions & Copper’s Pizza were our go-to’s.

Bald Head Island paradise

First trip to Bald Head Island but not our last! We loved it and the property made it easy to come and go from the beach and everything the island has to offer. Perfect fit for our family of 5 since we love oceanfront but don’t need larger house.

Great views! Super wonderful accommodations

We stayed here for a week and it was absolutely lovely. The patio was great to enjoy the sunsets and the location is perfect! We’ve been coming to BHI for 3 years now and my first time renting with itrips. I’ll definitely be back and hoping to check out more of their properties. The home was very nice, well adorned and was perfect for our larger group stay.
