It is a great location with easy access to all parts of the island given it's central location.

Not just another week at the beach

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great home in a great location right on the beach. The porches were a special place at night to relax and enjoy the sea breezes. Video equipment was a bit dated and some components non-functional, but this is not why we came to the beach. Will certainly consider coming back.

We were disappointed that 2 of our showers didn't work properly and also that outdoor porch lights at front door didn't work. We left a detailed list of items that needed attention for our housekeepers to find and hopefully share with WWP.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental property was perfectly located. We enjoyed our stay. Accommodations/beds were comfortable. There were some minor needs for repair(door weather stripping and molding falling off, gurgling noise coming from Jacuzzi, ice-maker in crofter made noise at night. AC in crofter was not repaired until after the fourth night we were there. We did not receive a welcoming visit after arrival. The large golf cart was unsafe to drive (brake and steering wheel difficult to maneuver). All in all everyone liked our rental. Good place for a family reunion. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.

Sandbagger - Nice with potential to be Great!

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was adequately helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sandbagger was a great property. It was probably the cleanest beach house we have ever rented. The location was great, it was beach forward of the neighboring homes so you felt like you were out there by yourself and even from the non-beach side, the neighboring homes were nearly invisible. The bedrooms were large and the beds were very comfortable. The wood floors throughout were a great touch. That said, while we loved the house, and would want to rent it again; there are some upgrades (mostly minor) that should be done in order to command such a premium price (~$10K / week with taxes, club charges, insurance, etc.). The kitchen appliances & countertops seemed substandard and didn’t seem comparable with the rest of the house. A significant number of light bulbs were burnt out and with the exception of one lower floor, the TV’s need to be upgraded (most are all old 4:3 tube TV’s). Lastly, while the carts carried a lot of people (one 6 person & one 8 person) – the 8 person was so large it was very difficult to drive and the brakes were dangerously non-existent. One last nice touch would be a celling in fan in the beautiful screened-in porch on the non-beach side that gets no breeze. On the reservation front, confirm the Ferry reservations with the BHI Ferry Company yourself – they were made for the wrong week by Wendy Wilmot and it took many emails and phone calls to correct.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house functioned very well for everyone. The extra large bedrooms with twin queens gave each person particularly good space, and the large bathrooms with each bedroom were a pleasure. We didn't use the large crofter, but could imagine how comfortable it would be. The operative word for the house is spacious. The furnishings could use updating as you know. My only real negative was the deplorable condition of the two barbeques. The gas bbq was unusable, and the kettle bbq would have been okay with a new grill. We managed once with aluminum pans on the grill that we had to scrub without much satisfaction. No food should go near these disgusting cooking surfaces, ever. If the housekeepers would check after each rental, any new bbqs could be kept in a heathful, a more usable, and a better condition. Everything considered, we all would come back for another visit. Manager responded on 7/10/2013: Thank you so much for your feedback and choosing to rent with Wendy Wilmot Properties! We are so glad that you enjoyed the home! A service order has been issued for the grill, and the owner and property manager are working together to resolve the problem and ensure that the property offers each renter the Best of Bald Head. Again, thank you so much for your feedback and for notifying us of this issue so we can respond accordingly. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your week on the Island, and we hope you return in the coming months and continue to enjoy Bald Head Island with Wendy Wilmot Properties!

Experience

Rating Details: I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was clean. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There are no instructions in the house on working the tv, locking the doors, etc. Sounds kinda stupid, but things work differently in other homes. Didn't have a key for the crofter for a couple of days. But the worst thing was the floors, both in the house and the crofter. For those who were barefoot, feet were filthy, and socks were the same way. They were really dirty. Overall though, the house was great. Manager responded on 6/20/2012: Thank you for choosing Wendy Wilmot Properties and Sandbagger on Bald Head Island. As a Rental Management Agency on Bald Head Island, we are always striving to deliver a level of service satisfaction that is superior in comparison. Therefore, your comments and suggestions are very important to us as well as the property owner. I apologize that you experience some issues during your stay. I am pleased to inform you that there has been a new television installed in the ground floor living area. We are also compiling individual information on each property in our rental program and placing instructional information in rental books that will be at the fingertips of our guests. Therefore, you should not experience a lack of operation instruction on the television in the future. With regard to the cleanliness of the floors. We find this unacceptable and have spoken at great length with the cleaning crew. Finally, I am deeply sorry that the keys to the crofter were not available to you during the first few days of your stay. The next time you are on the Island, I ask that you give me a call and I will gladly take you out to lunch for your trouble. I have informed the owner of your comments for their consideration. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you will consider returning to Sandbagger during your next vacation.

The privacy can’t be understated here - the location puts you smack in between two public beach access points with your own private boardwalk to the beach so when we were on the sand it was empty for like 1/5mile on either side. The boardwalk offers some gorgeous, soothing atmosphere and the back porch is an absolute dream spot - perfect for an evening piña colada. Points off for cleanliness. My bathroom had smudges on the glass which makes me question the rest of the surface sanitation, there was trash left in a cupboard downstairs and obvious general strokes taken when sweeping and mopping as noticed by the crumbs and dusts and stuff along various baseboards. Kitchen is stocked only okay - a mishmash of 1000 previous renters leaves you with 50 baking sheets and no sharp knives, odd choices for serving dishes and a half decent blender. Plenty of forks and knives and plates - bowls notoriously under represented. Great big fridge and the oven/stove seemed to work well enough. The grill was dirty and needs some serious love but we grilled steaks and survived. Rooms are adequate, not spartan but not brimming with character. Beds are comfortable and sheets were all clean. Bathrooms are updated and spacious. The screened in porch is an excellent sitting room. The living space upstairs is open and asking for family togetherness while the downstairs a more small group space with a giant island taking up too much space (we couldn’t get the TV to work down there).Overall good
