Perfect spot for our family

We took our family for a long weekend and loved this gem! Floras bluff is on of my favorite places on the island and This house was perfect! The reverse floor plan made sitting out on the top deck for coffee or a glass of wine even better with views of the ocean! The house was well stocked & Barbara was very attentive and on point to our needs and checked in to make sure we were enjoying our stay.

Fabulous beach house

This was a cute beach house, the house had a great location and our multigenerational group loved the layout. It was easy to get to the beach, hose off and enjoy the sunset. The property manager Tyler was super responsive and helpful when we had questions and a (mea culpa) issue. Cannot wait to go back!

Great time in a great house

This house has been newly renovated, has new furnishings, a well-equipped kitchen, and is steps from the ocean on a quiet cul-de-sac. The top floor (reverse floor plan with common areas on the top floor) is lined with windows for great views of the ocean all day long. The property manager we spoke to (they are on the island) was very responsive and even provided a (new) slow cooker for our New Year’s Day meal. Check in and check out was simple. These property managers know what they’re doing—provided an excellent experience on Bald Head.

Bald Head never disappoints

Cute house perfect for the 4 of us. Great sunset view. So close to the sand, store, club. We rented bikes, ate at new jailhouse restaurant (so close) and it was perfect location to explore the island over and over! Cute decor in living room and great views while cooking or sitting on deck. The property manager Barbara was very attentive and sweet to deal with! Thanks Barabara! All in all great pick for this bald head trip!

Cute cottage and beautiful location

Would definitely recommend. Had a wonderful time. Enjoyed exploring the island on the bikes and getting around by golf cart. All worked well. Beautiful view of dunes on both sides from deck - short walk to beach just over the dunes. Hose and shower faucet on boardwalk to wash sand off. Comfy beds. I understand new owners will be remodeling bathrooms and kitchen. Current ones work fine but are dated. Hope we can come back to stay there again. Had a wonderful time.

Nice property

The property was newly remodeled, nicely furnished, and had nice finishes. Great neighborhood, close to beach. We had a small problem with our golf cart not wanting to go into reverse, and the property manager quickly assessed the issue and had it fixed promptly. The only downside is there is no 1/2 bath on the upper level (a reverse floor plan with kitchen, dining, living upstairs). But if steps are not a problem for you, then you will have no negatives.
