Best ocean view on South Beach
Great location and easy access to the beach - gorgeous views and sunsets. Very clean, with comfortable living and sleeping areas. Gas stovetop, double ovens, and propane gas grill made cooking user friendly and enjoyable. Dishwasher could be updated and 2nd outside trash can should be added. Excellent communication with ITrip staff.

Beachfront getaway
Being a beachfront property some of the roads had flooded the week before during a storm that dumped 20 inches of rain on Southport . Greg, from iTripNC, made sure we got to the house since the trams were not working . It is a bright sunny house and the sunsets were lovely . Bedrooms are spacious . Kitchen well equipped. We wish there had been instructions for working the TV but a relaxing ,comfortable spot .

Charming house, great location!
We come to Bald Head every summer, and this year we decided to extend our stay and got lucky finding this cottage at the last minute. The cottage is super sunny, and central to almost everything on the island including the Market, BHI Club, and close to East Beach! The spacious kitchen was well stocked with all of the essentials, and the house has amazing views of the ocean from most of the rooms. Also the property management company was super-responsive. We had an issue with one of the golf carts and they took care of it proactively and kept us in the loop while it was quickly repaired. We’d stay here again.

We love this house so much! The entire front and sides are covered with big windows, so it’s a view everywhere you look. Great accommodations, very clean, easy access to anything you need on the island. It’s only a 5 minute golf cart ride to shops. Perfect vacation!

Best house!
The house was wonderful! Perfect! My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary so it was just the two of us - there was a lot of extra room so I hope to come back with my family! It was close to the beach access and a great spot to watch the sunset. The house had everything you could want and was clean and well kept. The iTrips folks were extremely responsive and accomodating! I would love to stay there again!

We saw the full moon rise and the sun set at the same time. Golf carts worked fine. All in all a very comfortable stay.

Fantastic panoramic view of South Beach
Excellent location with a fantastic panoramic view of South Beach. The beach is massive and never crowded. Open floor plan all on one level is comfortable and outside shower was a hit. Central location makes for short golf cart trips to the marina, market or East Beach. Cycling on the island is a favorite. Support from iTrip staff was always prompt.

Bald Head Island beach stay
The house needs some appliance work, and new battery chargers for the golf carts. Housekeeping left the dining table dirty (crumbs and stuff on the table), and the coffee pot wasn't clean. There's an electric outlet in one bedroom with no cover.....exposed to little hands.The washing machine ruined 2 clothing items with something looking like grease. I brought that to the manager's attention and they just said they would check it. No offer to clean or repair the ruined items. The washer makes a lot of noise and seemed to have gasket or belt problems (noise when spinning). But, all said, I would return with some adjustments due to the lost garments. Great view, close to the beach.

Perfect location!
This traditional beach house is located just steps from the ocean and has full windows on two sides as well as a large deck, so that we could catch both the sunset as well as a peek at the sunrise over the rooftops. It was also perfect for watching two amazing thunderstorms over the ocean from the comfort of the living room. The kitchen was well equipped so that we had everything we needed for our family meals. The house also came with boogie boards and beach chairs which we used nearly every day. We made lots of family memories during our first trip to Bald Head Island!

Beautiful views and great location!
Really nice central South Beach location with incredible 180 views -- literally from the Shoals to the West Beach shipping channel... we loved sitting out on the huge deck overlooking the ocean from sunrise to gorgeous sunset. Steps to beach accesses. Good house design for one family, and nice, powerful golf carts... very important on BHI! The house is a little older, but was generally well-outfitted and comfortable. Only negative was that the linens could really use a refresh, and the ones left for the trundles were most definitely not clean. But we'd rent again for the great location and views!

My husband and I stayed here with his sister. The house is laid out beautifully: very open space with incredible views of the ocean. The 3 bedrooms and baths are off the great room - so lots of privacy. Well stocked kitchen. Very clean. Our only disappointment was that there were no bikes as advertised. However, the management company compensated us so that we could rent bikes.

BHI NC beach
Exactly as advertised. The house is situated at 45 degrees to the beach allowing for full 180 degree beach view from anywhere of the day living areas. Depending on time of year, you can watch a sunrise AND sunset from the porch. Porch allows for sitting in the sunlight or shade pretty much any time of day. Maritime Market delivered groceries so we were stocked when we arrived. Since there’s no car traffic, you’ve got the entire island trail system for running/ jogging / cycling, and the only thing you’ll come across are friendly folks doing the same. Lots of areas for walking in shade & under tree canopy if you need to avoid the sun. Probs one of the most relaxing vacays I’ve taken & certainly one of the top three properties I’ve stayed at on VRBO. Thanks for the memories! fdt

Family Vacation
The location and set-up of the house was great for our family! We could walk across the street to the beach or take a golf cart to another beach if we wanted. We loved sitting on the porch and just enjoying the view of the ocean. Having the beach chairs and toys available was really nice, so we didn't have to plan on bringing those things with us. Management was also very good at communicating with us prior to the trip to help with logistics. Overall, a great place to vacation!
