Property was good and what we needed for our two families. It was awesome to have the 3 golf carts! The kitchen was very well stocked and organized however the appliances were old. The owner was very communicative however didn’t respond when I informed them that the ice maker and water dispenser were not working on the fridge and freezer. There was also a cracked shelf in the fridge so we avoided that shelf. The fridge definitely needs to be replaced but the house was good other than that and we had a really good time!

Perfect family getaway

We loved our family getaway at Hatchling House. Location was ideal as we were close to the beach, market and BHI club. House was bright and airy, and we loved the open family room/kitchen and large porch. Very comfortable and clean house with great communication from owners.

Our first time to BHI was incredible. We don’t want to vacation at any other beach now! We have a family of 4 younger kids and had two grandparents with us. The kids loved the adventure on the ferry and tram to get to our house. The Hatchling House is located across the main road from the south beach (the best beach). Sharon and Jim are kind and very easy to work with and reply very quickly to any email we sent. We took advantage of their BHI resort membership and got a 2-day guest pass to the pool and tennis/pickleball courts. Totally worth it. Only wish the resort had a hot tub. The house was very clean, well organized, well-stocked in the kitchen (I love cooking and they had everything I needed). We will absolutely be returning to the hatchling house in the near future.

Delightful Stay in BHI

We just spent a week at the Hatchling House and my only regret is that we didn’t book another week. The home, one of the first built on the island, is perfect for families with kids and is a one minute cart ride to South Beach and very short trips to East Beach, the Marina, and the market. We hope to stay there again soon.
