Five Star Experience

I would not hesitate to book this beautiful home again! They thought of everything, it was clean, well stocked, the golf carts were in great shape and worked perfectly, they provided clear instructions, and the communication was excellent. The house is beautiful, and the bedroom and bathroom set up was great for us and our two married children and their spouses. The beds are very comfortable and there were lots of extra pillows. Chris was very responsive and accommodating. We arrived at 1pm, and he allowed us to drop our bags and use the golf carts until the cleaners were finished. Great VRBO experience! Thank you, Chris!

Keepers Landing

Me, my wife, and our adult children enjoyed a week in Keepers Landing on Bald Head Island. Communications were excellent and clear, and the place was very clean and comfortable. We've been going to BHI for decades, and this is the only time all of the bicycles at the house were in working shape. Overall, it was a wonderful and relaxing week, and the house definitely made it easy. Recommend!

Awesome House

As former 5-star VRBO owners, we are well acquainted with what it takes to have a premier property. This house has everything you could ask for and then some. The beds are comfy, the location was near our son’s house and the owners were always accessible and good communicators. We can highly recommend this rental. You’ll be happy here — guaranteed !

Secluded, Comfortable, Quality

We recently stayed at this property with our adult children. The set up worked wonderfully for us as the crofter allows extra privacy for adults. The home is well maintained, kitchen is well stocked, nicely decorated and very comfortable for everyone! Nice touches with puzzles and games and beach toys, chairs and even a Shibumi! We loved sitting on the screened porch at night listening to the sounds of the Maritime forest! Any small issues we had were promptly resolved and the owner was super responsive. If you are looking for a secluded, comfortable place to stay on the island, Dreamstead is highly recommended.

Beautiful house with outdoor space

We had family renting another house in Keepers Landing so wanted to be nearby. This was perfect! The house works so well for its size - only two bedrooms in the main house (third in the crofter), but the living space both inside and outside was spacious and welcoming. It's a corner lot, which gives a ton of privacy and really is the best deal on this side of Keepers Landing. We spent hours on the screened porch with its very comfy couch, and had dinners at the outdoor table. We didn't use the grill but would next time. In cooler weather, we'd have also used the pretty outdoor patio. The kitchen was well stocked with oils and spices and the large fridge and washer/dryer were appreciated! Only down side was one golf cart instead of two, so we rented a second one which can be a little pricey. Still, would absolutely stay here again! Owner was very responsive, too!

Our favorite on BHI yet!!

What a GEM! This was our fifth trip in 5 years to BHI and have rented houses all across the board. For our family solo trip, this place could not be beat. It's nestled into the corner of a large cul-de-sac so the privacy is super peaceful. House is in fantastic shape, very clean and most importantly.....super comfy beds! Chris and Tonya are amazing. This is the first time that we have had such great communication with the home owner and they really care about 1.) the comfort of your stay and 2.) the condition of their property. Thanks for an amazing vacation!!

Relaxing

My family and friends had the absolute best time at BHI this past week. We adored the house and it was perfect for 3 adults, 1 teen and 2 kids. We found that it had everything we needed for the week, very well appointed. Keepers Landing provides a nice breeze and shade after a long day on the beach and lots of nature. My kids loved fishing off the private dock. Took us about 5 to get to either East or South Beach. Close to the market as well. We will for sure be back!

Is relaxation calling your name?

This property was absolutely radiant. The property is even better then it looks in the pictures. The house set up was perfect for our 10-year wedding anniversary/family vacation. The screened in porch and large deck area allowed our toddlers to run around and play. The house was well stocked with all needed amenities and the suite over the garage was amazing for sleepovers with grandma!! I highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back to visit again! My only regret is that we had to return to reality after only one week! Best vacation rental I’ve stayed in. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Home Away From Home

My wife, my 2yo, and I were visiting the island for the Badwater Ultramarathon. We arrived a few days early to acclimate and found this property extremely comfortable and welcoming. It was the perfect size for the three of us. The house was well-stocked with everything needed for the week other than groceries, of course. The kitchen has plenty of cookware and staples for cooking meals. Internet and TV worked great for hanging out and entertaining a 2yo. We’d never been to the island before but the golf cart provided made it easy to get around. Overall, it was a great place to stay and felt like a home away from home! If we return for next year’s race, we will definitely try to get this property again!

Couples Trip

My wife and I have been to BHI numerous times and have owned property on the island throughout the years. I can honestly say this is the cleanest house we have ever stayed in! The house was well equipped and decorated perfectly. We loved the location as it was very peaceful and quiet. The kitchen was well stocked and we wanted for nothing. Plenty of beach chairs and toys for those with children and the separate crofter cottage is perfect for privacy. Chris was very attentive to our needs and easy to work with. No issues with the check in and check out procedures. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and felt like we had a lot of privacy. Enjoyed grilling out and relaxing. My wife and I will definitely considering staying here again in the future. Great value for the money!
