Beautiful home, nice views of the golf course, private backyard with cute deer sightings, and excellent communication from iTrip ensuring our stay is a memorable one. The only downside to this rental is…having to leave! Book a couple days longer than you think you want to stay, you’ll thank me later! 😀

Wonderful home! Our family of 8 loved staying at "This Must Be the Place". Great location. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need for cooking. Each bedroom had its own bath which was very nice. Great back porch. Plenty of chairs, beach towels, games etc. Really nice golf carts. We look forward to renting this home again next fall!

We had a fantastic stay at this property. Large enough for everyone to sleep comfortably but also perfect size for everyone to hang out and enjoy each others company! The kitchen and stocked cookware and ALL THE THINGS was so nice to have….and yes, having TWO six seater golf carts made it all a breeze!

Thank you all for helping making this a geat trip. House is beautiful and very well equiped. We are already talking about our next booking. I have NO complaints.
As an FYI the freezer doesn't work very well at all but this was not a problem for us. Also not sure who's responsiblity it is (maybe renters) but two tv remotes need batteries.

This was our 3rd trip to BHI, and this home was perfect for our family of 4, but could have easily accommodated a larger party as well. The kitchen was adequately stocked with all the spices, condiments, utensils, & cookware we needed to cook every meal. Correspondence with the owners was easy & excellent...very responsive! We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Stay
We just had an amazing stay with 3 other couples at the beautiful property “This Must Be the Place”. iTrip NC made sure we had everything needed to fully relax and enjoy the beauty of the island. The home was fully equipped with kitchen items, bikes, kayaks, golf carts, beach chairs, games and more. Each of the 4 couples had a king bed with their own bathroom. The couch, beds and outdoor furniture were extremely comfortable. This is surely the place for you if you are looking to stay at a clean, updated, spacious, pet friendly house on a glorious island. It can’t be beat!

Amazing Stay at “This Must Be the Place”
Our family spent the week of July 4th at “This Must Be the Place” and it was exceptional! The house is beautifully decorated, with every amenity a renter could hope for! The screened porch lines the back of the house and overlooks the 6th hole of the golf course - it’s the perfect place to lounge for hours on end. We were thrilled with the grilling area and the many board games that kept our family entertained. The two six-seater golf carts were a real treat and ensured that everyone was included on our jaunts to the beach for the sunset. Lastly, the house is situated on the golf cart parade route - so we had a first row seat to the fun. We highly recommend “This Must Be the Place” - it is truly an amazing place!

This WAS the place
This is the most well equipped and convenient house we’ve rented in our ten plus trips to Bald Head. The house is beautiful, the owners pleasant and easy to work with. Our vacation was everything we hoped it would be—we wanted a house this time that was close to the Inn (where family has a time share). Being within walking distance to Old Baldy and the church was an added bonus, although the new golf carts (provided) made the rest of the island totally accessible.

We were so very blessed to be able to visit the island with all our kids this year. It was the first year we stayed on the main drag and we have stayed all over the island for the past 25 years. The house was new, spacious and had the best stocked kitchen we had ever seen. We had a huge pot for our crab boil so very yummy. Two golf carts, plenty of bikes and all kinds of stuff for the beach….almost forgot cornhole too. It had the best screened in porch overlooking the golf course and it was so clean. Looking forward to visiting the same house again.

Amazing
We had an impromptu opportunity open up to go out of town and beach bound it was. Itrip and staff did an absolutely amazing job helping us coordinate our last minute blunder and it might have turned out to be the best stay ever. House is absolutely amazing (this must be the place), so clean, cozy, secluded but not, and plenty of places to lounge and just enjoy what God has made. Thrilled with the home and mainly Itrip. It’s like the owner took it personally to want to help us- hard to explain but not something you get from most rental companies

Perfect House for An Amazing trip
We had the best time at This Must Be The Place! Before arrival we received a detailed email with all the possible info you would need. Getting there was smooth and easy. The house was gorgeous! Fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. We cooked dinners for 12 and never lacked a large pot or a cooking utensil. The beds were so comfy it was like sleeping on clouds. The 2 fancy golf carts had enough seating for everyone. Our favorite part was sitting on the back porch watching the golfers and It’s so quiet. We loved this trip and will for sure be back!
