Anniversary weekend

We absolutely loved this sweet cottage and our stay there to celebrate our anniversary! Well appointed and so clean and comfortable. Great location close to the beach and very quiet neighborhood. We’ve been coming to BHI for 20 years and never get tired of returning for a quiet getaway. Would definitely stay here again. One note to think about visiting in January, none of the restaurants were open so that was a challenge, but the house has a nice kitchen and we didn’t mind cooking food we bought from the market and taking the ferry over to Southport for the day is easy enough to do! Thanks for a great stay!

Castaway

Absolutely love BHI and had a great trip, and overall the rental was good, but there were some cons with the rental that kept it from getting 5 stars: 1) biggest concern was that the doors wouldn't lock. There's a note about having to lift the door/handle and try that way, which we did, but we figured out the actual construction of the knobs keeps the latch from fully extending...so it was literally impossible to lock. The good news is that BHI feels extremely safe, so it wasn't a huge concern...but would be anywhere else! 2) I had called the rental company prior to the trip and they agreed to an early check in. But when we arrived, the cleaning service had just arrived and we weren't able to get into the house until the standard 4pm time. 3) Outside trash was left from the prior renters. Our stay didn't overlap trash day, which we understood, but it's still kind of off-putting to have overstuffed trash bins with someone else's garbage when you're paying as much as you are. 4) The kitchen has most cooking utensils, but is missing key things like salt. It'd be nice if someone was checking a 'standard inventory' list to make sure the basics were there. 5) It was very cold/windy when we were there and it'd be nice if the golf carts had plastic coverings to help shield the wind like other rentals we've stayed at do. Not a huge issue at all, and the carts worked well, just would've been nice to have. Loved the trip and will absolutely come back to BHI, but will likely look for another place to rent.

609 Kinnakeet Way was the perfect getaway. Not far from the beach, or the hustle and bussel of the island. We really enjoyed having a full kitchen, outside seating area, and convince of golf carts on property.

Perfect for a relaxing weekend

The house was very clean and well kept. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, pots and pans, etc. Pantry staples were minimal and they keep the fridge empty so make sure to bring anything you need to cook. The location was perfect to get to both East and South beaches. We enjoyed the bikes as well.

very well kept home

This little bungalo is very well equiped and very neat and clean. Even the golf carts were swept and not at all sandy. Although we had no interaction with the property manager, the cute pink package of instructions were helpful and were really all that we needed for our stay. We specifically chose this location, and if you do not mind the forest canopy, then Castaway is a very good choice on BHI. We hightly recommend this property and would choose to stay here again.

delightful stay

An excellent spot with a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, privacy etc. The front and back porches were ideal for morning and evening relaxation. Note that one of the bedrooms, above the garage, is in a separate building. I had not noticed this in the listing (though I admit I was in a rush when I read it). It was a great place for our small family of 4. easy enough to get to the market but close enough to middle island proper to feel wonderfully removed. would definitely stay again. NB1 : the house has a conventional drip coffee maker *in addition to* a keurig (the listing only mentions the latter) NB2: there was a house being built on one of the adjacent properties. this wasn't really an issue as we weren't at the house during the workday, but we heard some hammering in the morning. just fair warning to those who are in search of total silence.
