Sailing

We love staying at Sailing and is our second time staying here. The home is beautifully furnished and was perfect for our small family. Our 7 year old loved all of the decor inside which provides for lots of fun learning. Great beach views and would highly recommend.

BHI stay

We unfortunately didn’t have great weather, it was unusually cold and rainy however the house was really cozy and in such a wonderful location it was still a great break for me. I come to BHI 1-2 times per year and will likely try to stay in this home again. BHI services team are super kind and welcoming 😊

Wonderful peaceful weekend

Wonderful house with a beautiful view and just steps from the beach - very clean and it was just the right size for us - only thing that I would suggest is a bigger bed in the master as there is room for a queen and that would have been better for a couple sleeping than a full bed. The location was perfect and we really enjoyed the island and the golf cart :O)

The house was not as nice as we were expecting it to be. Not worth the price for such an average house. It was dirty with mold on the showed and sinks. The yard had trash and left over toys all in the yard. We had to call maintenance on the first day to fix the drainage in the sink. I personally had to clean out gunk and hair. We were just really underwhelmed.

Weeklong Family Vacation

The location of the property was very convenient to quickly access the beach with our 2 dogs and twin 5 year old boys. Made it very easy to run back and forth to the beach for lunch, etc. Also nice to be on the center part of the island close to the Maritime Market. The beach nourishment project has left a very spacious and uncrowded beach for enjoyment. Wonderful views from the 2nd story. Would strongly recommend and stay there again.

Dog friendly and great location/view

Loved staying there. Great view, great screen porch with fabulous breeze, fenced in area for dog to go out (but wish it was totally closed in). However my dog is not adventurous so it didn’t really matter but could for some. A bit a trellis could correct that situation. Will be returning in September

Another Stress Erasing Week

This is our 2nd visit to Sailing. The 1st for our 30th annv and this one for our 35th. We were joined by my sis & hubby for their 30th. We loved the smaller home! The peace & quiet, spectacular views, and mostly empty beach was just what we experienced the first time around! We will NOT wait 5 years to come back to Sailing!!!!
