A wonderful family vacation! Perfect location on the island and everything we needed for our family of 9. The beach was perfect with calm seas and long flat sand and easy beach access. Sunsets were amazing. The house is well stocked and the host, Lauren, was quick to respond with any questions about the house and the island. A perfect stay!

This is a lovely house in a lovely location. The owners are fantastically helpful with information and amazingly responsive to some questions that we had. The layout of the main floor is very conducive to family gatherings; the dining room table is nicely located in its own nook.

Really nice house with well appointed kitchen. It's nice that all bedrooms are en suite. Super easy beach access. My bed was comfy and there were no complaints from anyone else, so I assume they are all comfy. Plenty of beach chairs and some plastic beach toys for kids. Games and puzzles galore in the house. Great location near enough to the store and beach club (but the club is extra, per person, we did not use). The crofter was great for the privacy.

Great stay

This was our first time in BH over the Winter break and we loved it. Wonderful to be right on South beach. There were a few details in the house that needed attention, but the owners were very attentive and communication was great. Thanks for a great stay in the off season!

Relaxing week on BHI

Our extended family of 7 adults had a wonderful week on BHI. The house has a terrific location just steps from the beach. The rooms were spacious with great views and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Lauren was very responsive and the check in was a breeze. We definitely look forward to returning to BIS BALD.

We had a lovely stay - beautiful location and comfortable set-up. The decks with plenty of chairs and tables were wonderful. We did have some severe weather and wished for an umbrella for those who stayed in the room above the garage, but overall had a terrific time. Would love to return!

Bis Bald was truly perfect in every way. The location on South Beach was ideal and the winds were in our favor with every day a total glassy and calm ocean. Lauren (the owner and property manager) was responsive and communicative immediately when needed, which wasn’t often since the place had everything. The house itself was updated, super clean and the decor was wonderful. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
