Relaxing stay

With a wonderful time staying at the Mariners retreat! Location was great. The place was clean and comfortable. The kitchen facilities were very complete. Nearby beach was very convenient plus wildlife overlooks and nature walks nearby. Also two golf carts provided which was a great way to get around the island! Definitely would stay here again.

Great family stay!

Fully equipped and immaculately clean. Great location, teenagers were easily able to ride bikes to the club, lighthouse and the market. Everyone enjoyed the pool which gets maintenance DAILY. Ibis walking around, gorgeous live oak. Was a little worried it would be buggy but didn't get bit at all when enjoying the porch. Royal James is the best kept secret on BHI.

Great stay at the Royal James!

Our family had a great time at the Royal James. The condo had a well stocked kitchen with upgrades to everything. The space of the condo was exactly as listed. We had a hiccup with one of the carts but the owners were very responsive and got us back up and running in no time. The loft can get a bit warm but with a fan running 24/7 it’s not too bad…especially in the evening.

Great mid-island location located in the Forest. The property was clean and recently renovated. The description said beach towels were provided but there were only 3. The door keypad didn't work when we arrived, but Dawn was helpful at coming up with an alternative solution. There is a washer and dryer but the dryer didn't work (in Dawn's defense it was late in the week so we didn't report the issue.) Overall, great location and nice property.

Family Tome

Our stay was one of the best BHI experiences have had so far. First of all we had excellent weather which certainly helps. We love the location, great distance from everything, marina, store, beaches, etc. We like having shade after a day at the beach. The kids loved their loft space and we all enjoyed the back deck. It was nice to have the bikes. We only had to rent 1 adult with child carrier. Morning bike rides and shell searches were an everyday occurrence and nightly visits to see the alligators!!! We will be back. Thank you DDawn and Ben

Great BHI accommodation.

Everything we needed was there and in working order. We enjoyed the location, central to the island, the golf carts were well maintained, plenty of towels provided, quality washer/dryer. The pool was great after a day at the beach (but the property association should consider redoing the wooden deck, it is a splinter hazard) Great place to stay, highly recommended
