We loved this house. We especially loved the master bedroom on the main floor. The house was well equipped with everything needed for a BHI vacation. We will continue to rent with WWP for all future visits.

Lovely home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Corsair met our family's needs now that we are seven adults and three small boys. The bunk bedroom made the two year old think he was sleeping in a boat! The en-suite bathrooms were also great, no one had to share.

Cozy forest retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house tucked in forest on a quiet cul de sac. Have stayed in different BHI homes for almost 20 years and this is definitely at the top . Overall in very good condition and clean . The golfcarts were great and quick with bright LED lights . This was a nice change from years of slow , dimly lit carts . Great location nearby the market which came in handy over the Thanksgiving holiday . Would stay here again :)

An ok property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is cute and in an excellent location with easy access to the grocery store and beach. However there were a few cons. Considering the house sleeps 10 I would have liked to have more seating in the living room. The kitchen is great for making meals. For the price I would have expected decent beach chairs but the ones provided were either moldy or rusty. And the golf carts aren’t in great condition. The larger one has no power steering. Overall it’s a cute house but I wouldn’t rent it again for a large group as we felt like we were on top of each other the whole time. Too many bedrooms and not enough living space.

Birthday week

Rating Details: The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Bald Head was wonderful with the exception of two marginal golf carts that gave us constant delays all week. I know how busy WW Rentals can be, and their response was prompt and courteous, but limited resolution on the carts! We should have been provided with at least ONE cart that ran and was not in need of constant attention. We own a golf course, we know what a functional god cart is and we shouldn't have to explain daily that the carts are old and unsafe(stirring on one was random and the other would not hold a charge). We rented a cart for the entire week because the rental company said "all their back up carts were out" and did not offer to provide one. I realize, again, how busy BHI rentals can be, however, customer service should be addressed and just not dismissed.

July 2021 Stay

Our family of 10 loves the setting and space of The Corsair. This is our second stay. Wendy Wilmot also provides bikes so that we did not have to bring our own or rent them once here. Housekeeping did an outstanding job or preparing this home for us. The kitchen is easily the best stocked one we have had in the 20 years we have vacationed on Bald Head. What a perfect week on the island!

May 2019 Stay

Our 3 grown children, their spouses, and two grandchildren all stayed very comfortably in this beautiful and well appointed home. The kitchen has everything you need, and the location is awesome- being very close to the market and center of the island. We have been coming to BHI for 10 years now and we all agree this was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. Thank you to WWP for their attention to detail.

Overall great!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Corsair was a good place for our family to hang together for Thanksgiving. Overall the house was great and had what we needed. The only downside was the cleanliness. We did have a small dog with us, so we paid the 250 fee. When we got there it was obvious any fees did not go towards cleaning. Stained carpet and bed spreads. The house needs a good cleaning or owners should consider replacing the carpet.

Great Vacatoin on Bald Head

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing vacation on Bald Head Island. The team at Wendy Wimot was more than helpful and accommodating. The home was very nice and the location is very central and convenient. The market is walking distance, the beach is a quick drive to one of the most convenient beaches, and the ferry, BHI Club, and Shoals club are an easy drive away. The home was also very well equipped - to the extent that it would have been helpful to know what items were going to be at the house so we didn't have to pack as much (tons of beach towels in the laundry room, several beach chairs, umbrellas, and bikes, and we even found a Keurig the day before we checked out). Very minor complaints, but the downstairs bedrooms were a little warm, the outdoor shower could use a little TLC, and the trash required constant shuffling around (almost full trash upon arrival from the prior renters with no pickup for 4 days, which meant constantly rearranging/consolidating the several trash cans, etc).

Perfect for 10

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Corsair offers a great location Nd super space for 10 family members and a golden retriever. It is within walking distance of the Maritime Market, home of the best breakfast on the island. The addition of the ice machine was a definite plus. Cooling in the two downstairs bedrooms was a little less than satisfactory. The screened porch was a favorite space for morning coffee. A new grill and two bikes furnished by the realty company were welcome features. We love renting through Wendy Wilmott Properties!

Lovely Holiday!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Corsair is a very pleasant property. It is well appointed and comfortable. Lovely screened porch. The location is quite convenient as it is a short stroll to the market plaza. The downside to the property is the oven and tv's. It was a challenge to find an appropriate setting for baking, even with the concise instructions provided by the owners. However, I did "make it work." The tv in the the living area was the only one that worked. My thoughts are that this is due to the recent changes in service provider and working to get up to speed with equipment.

We had a great time and loved the house. The house was beautifully decorated and well equipped. As with all of Wendy's Properties, it was very clean and well-maintained. Everyone at Wendy Wilmot Properties were so helpful. Thanks to you all. We are already looking forward to our next trip to Bald Head.
