We had a wonderful stay! The location is perfect, the house was clean, well stocked with everything we needed and had plenty of space for all of us to gather. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay here. The place is spacious and it is an excellent location. It is close to the beach and located centrally to all the island amenities. We made great use of the bicycles and the kayaks as well.
Second time staying here, and it is still as advertised. Clean, comfortable and a great central location on the island. The three carts are a great bonus with multiple families.

We’ve enjoyed this family friendly beach home for the second time. We’ve vacationed at BHI for many years, and this home is one of our favorites due to location and inviting home.

We loved our family getaway at Hatchling House. Location was ideal as we were close to the beach, market and BHI club. House was bright and airy, and we loved the open family room/kitchen and large porch. Very comfortable and clean house with great communication from owners.

Thanks for staying at our home and for your review. We are delighted to learn that our home and your stay on Bald Head worked out so well for you and your 'mates.'
Property was good and what we needed for our two families. It was awesome to have the 3 golf carts! The kitchen was very well stocked and organized however the appliances were old. The owner was very communicative however didn’t respond when I informed them that the ice maker and water dispenser were not working on the fridge and freezer. There was also a cracked shelf in the fridge so we avoided that shelf. The fridge definitely needs to be replaced but the house was good other than that and we had a really good time!

Thanks for your review. We are delighted to know you and your family enjoyed your time on Bald Head and at our home. As you said we are very communicative with our renters. In the case of the refrigerator issues, we actually were trying to get that resolved. As you know, during this time in the initial couple days of your stay, we also had to make additional requests to you to make your final payment which was 30 days overdue and you had already checked-in. We have not gotten complaints about the kitchen appliances, all of which are within five years of age, but we will assess them further during our end of year deep clean. The shelf replacement is on order.
We just spent a week at the Hatchling House and my only regret is that we didn’t book another week. The home, one of the first built on the island, is perfect for families with kids and is a one minute cart ride to South Beach and very short trips to East Beach, the Marina, and the market. We hope to stay there again soon.

This was one of our favorite houses that we have stayed in. Immaculate inside
Bright and Cherry house with a well stocked kitchen and plenty of room for the entire family. Short walk to the beach. Both the bikes and golf carts were in excellent shape.
Can’t wait to return in the near future and we hope this wonderful house will be available at that time.
