Great House for Families and Friends

We had a great week here with plenty of room for our family, friends, and dogs! The bathrooms were really nice and clean. The kitchen was well appointed. The outdoor shower is fantastic! All the golf carts worked perfectly too! Close proximity to the club for all pool and fitness activities. Thanks!

Great place to stay on Bald Head Island

We had a great time in Blackbeard's Return on Bald Head Island. The House was well furnished and stocked, bedrooms, kitchen, porches as promised. The location was great and we had access to everything with the provided golf carts and bikes. We also were able to cook out one night on the provided grill. There are always little hiccups, but ITrip NC was very responsive and all were resolved quickly. I highly recommend!

Great management

We had a great time in BHI. The management team was excellent! They always checked on us to see if we needed anything, were available by text at any time, and when our golf cart broke down they offered their own until they could get ours fixed. Five stars all the way!

Great stay at Blackbeard’s Return!

A wonderful house with great use of space and perfect for our 2 families! Everything seemed new and clean. Bathrooms were renovated and spacious and kitchen is updated with everything you will need. Porches allowed for a variety of views and screened in porch was our favorite spot to drink coffee in the morning or wine at night. It is super close to the BHI club and the kids would just walk there regularly for a swim. Two golf carts are in great condition and easy to drive with no battery issues. We loved the outdoor shower and everyone showered there throughout our stay. Highly recommend this house!!

Very. nice property

My family of five stayed at this very nice property on the west end of the island during the week Hurricane Isaias came to visit. The property managers were very diligent in helping us before and after the storm and it was much appreciated. The house itself is very clean and pleasant and the right size for a family of five. The upstairs has a nice loft and good rooms for tweens and teenagers. There is a little odd floor plan issue downstairs as the master bath is shared with the main family room but no big deal. Kitchen is large and well equipped. Our only real issue with the house was that the golf cart batteries were both limited, making it hard to visit the other side of the island. But it certainly took us to the beach just fine. Very nice stay overall.

Perfect House for Golfing Family

My family of six and Goldendoodle planned our early April trip around my 80th birthday and four other March birthdays. The house was perfect size for all to move around in and home furnishings and decor were outstanding. The location to BHI Club was perfect, as we are a golfing family. My son actually walked over to the course one day. We certainly benefitted from our temporary membership to the BHI Club and enjoyed three days of golf, dinner in three locations at the club, and made use of the pool.....great inclusive deal. The owners left three carts, one big enough for clubs and two had weather shields needed for rainy days. My son and daughter enjoyed morning walks along the nearby beach with the dog. We were able to easily navigate the island and take in a real mix of golfing shopping, and sightseeing. I would highly recommend this property to multi-aged families who desire a complete housing package for their vacation. Finally, I appreciated the owner's instructions for entering and leaving the house. They were very complete and made the entire rental experience a pleasure. I would book this property again!!!

Fantastic beach vacation

We had a great week at this property. The kitchen is very well-equipped with anything you might need. Everything was clean and comfortable. We really appreciated the supply of dog bowls and poop bags for our furry companions. There were plenty of beach chairs & towels, and a great beach is a 5 minute walk away. Everyone liked the TV options and the games. It was a perfect stay for our family with pets.

Blackbeard

The house was lovely. The beds were very comfortable. The only thing we did not like was the house was surrounded by trees that had not been trimmed, so there was no view. The location of the house was great and if they trimmed the trees, you could see hole 9 and the ocean. There was a porch upstairs and the ocean was visible. The house was well stocked with appliances. Air fryer, etc. if they trim the bushes, we will be back!! They had 4 golf carts!
