Sailing

We love staying at Sailing and is our second time staying here. The home is beautifully furnished and was perfect for our small family. Our 7 year old loved all of the decor inside which provides for lots of fun learning. Great beach views and would highly recommend.

Another Stress Erasing Week

This is our 2nd visit to Sailing. The 1st for our 30th annv and this one for our 35th. We were joined by my sis & hubby for their 30th. We loved the smaller home! The peace & quiet, spectacular views, and mostly empty beach was just what we experienced the first time around! We will NOT wait 5 years to come back to Sailing!!!!

Beautiful location

We had a very nice stay at ‘Sailing.’ We loved the ocean view from porch, the easy access to the beach, and the central location of the house to access other areas of the island in the golf cart provided. Additionally we appreciated that some starter supplies of laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, hand soap, and dish soap that were provided. The check in process was easy, and we had good communication from the property management team. A few things would have improved our stay. Kitchen supplies need some attention: poor condition pots and pans, excessive amounts of spatulas, mixing spoons, but no tongs. No wine glasses. The bar stools are unusable due to being too high for the counter. The beach chairs were all broken and unusable except for 2. The mattress in bedroom with en-suite bathroom needs to be replaced, it is sunken and the coils can be felt. Overall it was a nice house, that just needs a little attention and some updates. With those improvements we would absolutely stay there again.

Great location for a couple's getaway

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was our first visit to Bald Head Island. We liked direct access to the beach from the house and the view of the beach and water from the top floor. We loved the location for exploring various parts of the island by golf cart. We liked the inverted house plan with the bedrooms on the ground floor and the living space upstairs. The house was very clean. The kitchen bar stools were unusable (too high - the legs need to be cut down by 6 inches). Kitchen supplies were ok - there were some spices, and other dry goods from prior guests (which is always nice), and starter supplies like a roll of paper towels and a small bottle of dish soap. Cookware was ok - enough to make due. It lacked a good sized bowl - for tossing a salad or for popcorn. The beds were just ok - one had somewhat of a depression in the middle; the other was very squeaky - any movement made a good bit of noise. There were beach towels and at least two of the beach chairs were functional (another two were broken). The golf cart is in good condition. I nearly missed critical communications from the property manager as they did not use the VRBO messaging system, which is what I was looking for. Fortunately, I caught the messages in my secondary email account before it was too late. They were very responsive and professional once I connected with them. We would definitely consider staying here again. 4.5 stars overall.

The house was not as nice as we were expecting it to be. Not worth the price for such an average house. It was dirty with mold on the showed and sinks. The yard had trash and left over toys all in the yard. We had to call maintenance on the first day to fix the drainage in the sink. I personally had to clean out gunk and hair. We were just really underwhelmed.

BHI stay

We unfortunately didn’t have great weather, it was unusually cold and rainy however the house was really cozy and in such a wonderful location it was still a great break for me. I come to BHI 1-2 times per year and will likely try to stay in this home again. BHI services team are super kind and welcoming 😊

Wonderful peaceful weekend

Wonderful house with a beautiful view and just steps from the beach - very clean and it was just the right size for us - only thing that I would suggest is a bigger bed in the master as there is room for a queen and that would have been better for a couple sleeping than a full bed. The location was perfect and we really enjoyed the island and the golf cart :O)

Weeklong Family Vacation

The location of the property was very convenient to quickly access the beach with our 2 dogs and twin 5 year old boys. Made it very easy to run back and forth to the beach for lunch, etc. Also nice to be on the center part of the island close to the Maritime Market. The beach nourishment project has left a very spacious and uncrowded beach for enjoyment. Wonderful views from the 2nd story. Would strongly recommend and stay there again.
