Liked: Location
This house is conveniently located in a quiet area between the beach and the Maritime Market/shops, and comes stocked with nice golf carts to get you around the island. We enjoyed the layout of the house and found it to be very well kept and tidy throughout. It had a pack n play for our baby, as well as a crib and high chair. There is a nice community pool just steps away from the house, which was a great amenity as well. We would stay here again.

birthday weekend

Beautiful home nestled in the maritime forest and convenient to the Maritime Market, the beaches, and nature trails. An extra perk, although being February we didn't use it, is the small development has a very nice swimming pool. I enjoyed celebrating my 70th birthday with family on Bald Head Island in this lovely home.

It was a great place, the house was clean. And nice. Only thing that we encountered was the air conditioning. To keep it comfortable up stair , we had to keep the air down and it made the up stairs too cold. Otherwise a beautiful place

Wonderful place to stay!

This was a beautiful home tucked in the woods in Ibis Roost Cottages. It really had a private feel to it and was beautifully decorated inside. It was great having a bathroom for each bedroom and the upstairs room was much bigger than you can see in the pictures. We have stayed at many different locations on the island through the years and this was one of our favorites....the house and the location! And the golf carts were probably the best we have had in our years of coming which really add to the experience of your time at BHI. Highly recommend this home for families or couples.

Nice Weekend on BHI

This property is well furnished and decorated, and has the needed beach / island supplies (bikes, coolers, chairs, etc.). Golf carts also in good shape (only one has rain flaps). Ample space upstairs for kiddos; only issue being the main upstairs mattress was sunken in on one side. All in a nice place and would stay again.

Better than the photos!

This was the 4th time renting on the island and we were thrilled! We needed pet friendly in case my brothers dog came (she did not) and you would never have known it was pet friendly. It was so clean (sometimes pet friendly rentals are not) and the house has been updated since the photos were taken. It was beautifully appointed and had 2 golf carts, 4 bikes, beach chairs and basically everything you could want. The neighborhood pool saved the day since the BHI club was sold out of guest pool memberships. I will rent here again!

We Love Bald Head

The house was a pretty good set-up for our family. One drawback was the kitchen, it was a bit small when trying to prepare meals together (you can really only have one person working in there at a time). We loved having the pool in the community that is a great bonus. The home did have several bugs through out but I understand in the forest its going to happen from time to time. Overall we loved the home.

Lovely Cottage in the Oaks

Our only negative experience was frustration with the TV. It was so complicated that we never got it to work. Even your staff worked tirelessly to assist but never functioned. We did get to see Netflix so enjoyed movies but really wanted to stay informed with network and be able to see football. Rest of experience excellent

Good place to stay

We enjoyed our trip and found the Cottage to be well equipped, well located, and comfortable. We were a family group, including one grandchild, an eighteen month old. The equipment we needed for the toddler was all there and in good order. There were even some child books and the decor was child tolerant. We used the kitchen extensively. It is well-equipped with plenty of everything, except it could use another set of measuring cups and a better corkscrew, very minor stuff. There is really only room for one cook in the kitchen. There wasn't much to complain about, except that the place could use some cleaning and sprucing up, especially on the outside. Some simple things like cleaning up the garage and washing the porch floors would make a difference. If they let me stay a week for free, I would do it!

Great Location but a bit on the older side

The house was great and the Ibis neighborhood is a great location right around the corner from Maritime Market and easy to get to beaches in all directions. It was nice to have two golf carts and the garage had bikes, beach chairs, frisbee, umbrella which was great. The beds were comfortable and the decor was very nice. Great front porch, big huge room upstairs. The only downside is the kitchen - it is very small - one person at a time and you cannot open the fridge and have the dishwasher open at the same time. The kitchen drawers are old and falling apart and the cupboards could be more organized and clean. It was very nice to have a community pool a short walk from the house. The house is tucked back down a driveway that leads to two houses. When the tram dropped us off we didn't know where to go but finally figured it out. Late Sept. is a great time to visit BHI as we had no neighbors to our left or our right.

bald head trip

The house location was very good. One golf cart was great. The other golf cart had an old electric wire with bare threads and a sharp rusty metal piece at our legs. We covered it with a shirt. There were no restaurants open on Monday and Tuesday. Jules Restaurant served frozen foods to us. The island itself is beautiful and quiet. There was a roach in the downstairs bedroom. We are DVC members and so expect a lot on our vacations. (Disney) All people were pleasant.
