Reviews:

June 2024 - 10/10 Dream Vacation Home!

We’ve had the pleasure of staying at this property for our yearly family vacation over the last few years and it never disappoints! The home is furnished beautifully and always spotless. Multiple rooms to choose from with sleeping arrangements for infants and young children. It is a short golf cart drive to the Bald Head Island Club and when we want to switch it up and spend the days at the Shoals Club, we get to enjoy a beautiful scenic drive around the coastline. The hosts are always responsive and check in to make sure things are going well. Can’t wait to return again next summer!

GREAT Idea House!

This property is beautiful and very well-equipped. We had everything we needed for a fun, relaxing vacation. There are 2 nice golf carts, plenty of beach chairs & umbrellas. Lots of time was spent on the porches, even advantage of a few naps on the hammock. We will definitely rent this house again!

A wonderful time with friends catching up.

We and our friends are frequent visitors to Bald Head and when I searched for a home that fit our needs, lots of conversation opportunities and a big kitchen were " a must". With this property both of these references were well met.

PERFECT LOCATION!

We had the best time on BHI and this home was perfect in every way! The house is perfectly located- equal distances to the market, marina, beach & BHI club. The house was stocked with everything we could ever need. We had an issue with one of the golf carts and Edie responded immediately and took care of it. We plan to go back to BHI again and would definitely stay in this house!

Welcomed new property to the market!

We had a wonderful stay at Good Idea House! Well maintained with ample kitchen applications and utensils. Loved the large porch for dining and coffee with the fresh breeze. Kids enjoyed the beach gear, game cabinet and ping pong table. Carts and beach chairs were great. Thank you for sharing your home!
