Perfect!
Perfect location, perfect house, and very attentive hosts. Anything we needed or had questions about, was a call/text away and we got a quick response. The house was nestled perfectly by the marsh. 3 carts for 8 people made transporting to and from the house very easy. I have nothing bad to say about the house or the hosts. I hope we can stay here again next year!

Fantastic, secluded retreat
We loved our stay at this property. It was tucked away in a cul-de-sac on the marsh. It was extremely private and peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. If you’re looking to escape from the hustle and bustle, this is a choice location on Bald Head Island. The property was meticulously maintained down to even the plants both inside and outside of the home which is unusual. You can sense the attention to detail of the owners and their care for every little thing. The house is a beautiful and well fabricated open concept modern design that our family, (54, 42, 11, 8, 4) adored. Very safe as well, despite having a rambunctious toddler on the premise.. Easy access to the south beach and Maritime market, etc. If you are somewhat of a reclusive eco-hippy like we are, this is a choice spot on Bald, Head, Island which is already in Moore, private destinations in most mainland offerings.

Perfect retreat
This was our 2nd time staying and it was even better than the first. The house is perfect. The kitchen is great for cooking. New golf carts are a great upgrade. Very relaxing week.

Such a special home, off the beating path
We’ve stayed at this house many times and always enjoy it. It feels like a tree house. We love the privacy, marsh views, and all the wonderful nature sounds. We will certainly be back again.

Off into the woods
We loved having a Whole house and we lived in the kitchen. Great Thanksgiving trip. We also loved having the three golf carts so people could split up. Basement area was smaller than photos maybe the photos were taken with a wide angle lens but we ended up living upstairs in the kitchen.

Love Salt Marsh Retreat
This is our second stay and it feels like an exotic home away from home. Top floor is such a great place for the family to spread out and relax! Can’t wait to book again.

Fabulous house and location but has a wasp problem
We had a lovely stay at this house. All of the other reviewers accurately describe the wonderful location and privacy of the house. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the house had gates for the stairs that made it very family-friendly. Proximity to the private beach access was also wonderful. We have two primary complaints: the cleaning staff were running behind, so we didn't get into the house until 45 min after the designated check-in time. In their rush to finish up, they didn't restock essential items (e.g., one of the bathrooms was out of toilet paper). BHI services staff was responsive to my email and delivered toilet paper and paper towels early the next morning. The biggest issue were the number of wasp nests around the house; the house is in desperate need of a thorough wasp treatment. During the course of our week-long stay, we had 10 wasps inside the house, 3 in a back bedroom, 1 in a bathroom, and 6 in the kitchen/living room. We suspect there is an entry point for the wasps because we were deliberate about only using the garage door and making sure we went in and out quickly after we found the first few wasps. I communicated this to the BHI Services staff, but no one was able to come out and take care of the outdoor nests during our stay. I would jump at the chance to stay at the house again, but I strongly recommend a thorough pest treatment!

Great house in nature
Excellent stay! The beach and the golf carts are certainly a plus! We would have liked more tennis courts to play on the island and it is surprising there is not more coordination between the tram and the ferry! Baggage can get delayed: we waited 2 hours going back to Southport
