Beautiful Island, but poorly managed property.....
We have very much enjoyed our multiple visits to Bald Head Island but spent a great deal during this vacation dealing with house related issues. The management company (iTrip) only communicated via text message, and has since stopped responding to us all together despite multiple attempts to reach them after our stay. Some issues included , siding falling off the house, sand in the beds upon arrival, upstairs AC not working, golf carts non functional, windows and doors wouldn't lock, vents above our bed held on with painters tape, trash in the yard, bbq grills completely rusted out, bikes completely rusted out, garage power worked intermittently, just to name a few of the many problems we had to constantly text back and forth about. Our goal was to have a carefree vacation but several hours each day were spent dealing with these and other issues, not to mention a very unhappy spouse with whom they refused to communicate because she wasn't on the contract. The home has so much potential, but I cant say that we would do business with this group again.

Perfect House for Golfing Family
My family of six and Goldendoodle planned our early April trip around my 80th birthday and four other March birthdays. The house was perfect size for all to move around in and home furnishings and decor were outstanding. The location to BHI Club was perfect, as we are a golfing family. My son actually walked over to the course one day. We certainly benefitted from our temporary membership to the BHI Club and enjoyed three days of golf, dinner in three locations at the club, and made use of the pool.....great inclusive deal. The owners left three carts, one big enough for clubs and two had weather shields needed for rainy days. My son and daughter enjoyed morning walks along the nearby beach with the dog. We were able to easily navigate the island and take in a real mix of golfing shopping, and sightseeing. I would highly recommend this property to multi-aged families who desire a complete housing package for their vacation. Finally, I appreciated the owner's instructions for entering and leaving the house. They were very complete and made the entire rental experience a pleasure. I would book this property again!!!

Awesome location and space
Perfect location for enjoying all the beaches in Bald Head Island. The property does overlook the golf club and club golf cart parking and maintenance area, but absolutely no noise from inside the house, and we honestly enjoyed hearing the faint sounds of people enjoying themselves from the tennis area and pool - added to the vacation vibe! No privacy issues and great views of the beach and ocean from the second floor bedroom was a bonus! There were some minor cleanliness issues in the kitchen on arrival (fridge shelves and coffee maker quite dirty) but didn’t deter from the stay and bathrooms, living areas were spotless. Great communication from rental agency. Would definitely stay again

Nice house but roaches all over screened in.porch and a few found inside of home. Impossible to relax because of it. Really difficult to lock doors and only half roll of toilet paper in each bath. Bring your own everything and of you need to buy anything, bring lots of money because prices at the market are ridiculously expensive.
