This is a great family beach home. The property owners are very easy to communicate with and responsive to our questions. The house is extraordinarily well equipped, and was spotless when we arrived. The home accommodates a large family with multiple bedroom and great gathering room and large kitchen.

We loved our family getaway at Hatchling House. Location was ideal as we were close to the beach, market and BHI club. House was bright and airy, and we loved the open family room/kitchen and large porch. Very comfortable and clean house with great communication from owners.

The house is very clean and well stocked. The decor was beautiful and the house had so much natural light. It was a perfect beach house feel. The property owners were easily accessible and very helpful. I would rent this house again and again.

Bright and Cherry house with a well stocked kitchen and plenty of room for the entire family. Short walk to the beach. Both the bikes and golf carts were in excellent shape. Can’t wait to return in the near future and we hope this wonderful house will be available at that time.

This house was everything we needed for a high school girlfriend getaway. The kitchen was fully stocked and the house is adorable inside. We loved all the beach decorations. We enjoyed exploring the island and having multiple golf carts. The fall weather was perfect for walks on the beach.

We had the best week at the Hatchling house. It was well stocked with plenty of kitchen items, kids toys/equipment & beach supplies (chairs, bikes, sand toys, etc). It is very close to beach access & market/shops. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a great week!

This house was everything we thought it would be and more. The open spaces and well-stocked kitchen were perfect, and there was more than enough sleep space. The porch was a great place to have a meal or just hang out and enjoy the beauty around us. We especially appreciated that there were bikes and beach chairs for all 8 of us. We are already talking about our next trip to BHI and intend to stay at this beautiful house.

Jim and Sharon's home is a great place to stay on BHI! In a convenient and central location on the island, the home is rich with history. Well stocked for all activities both inside and outside. Very clean, bright and organized. We're grateful to such wonderful hosts and hope to be back again and again.

This family friendly house had everything we needed for the wedding weekend with friends all over the island. We were close to the beach, store and not far from the marina. The house had golf carts, bikes and kayaks (if we had more time, we would have loved to use these). We will definitely try and get this home next time we visit Bald Head.

We had a wonderful time! Much appreciated were the ‘extras’ like games, puzzles, books, beach towels, bikes, and there were plenty of chairs. Comfy beds and pillows, exceptionally well-stocked kitchen, and comfortable couches and chairs. You can’t beat the location. We also enjoyed seeing a painting bunting in the tree every day 😊

The house and hospitality of Sharon did not stop to amaze us for the duration of our stay at this wonderful house. From the welcome bag with goodies and waters, to the comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and supplies, to toys, books and bicycles galore. We could not have asked for a better place to stay and after 10 years coming to the island, this house was hands down our favorite! Sharon, thanks for all you did to make our vacation amazing.

This home was in a wonderful location, just a 5 minute stroll to the beautiful beach. The home was extremely well furnished and maintained with TLC from its owners. The open architecture made it an easy place to relax and the large deck complete with gas grill was a favorite place to hang out. The home even came with two golf carts which provided great flexibility for our party to go their own ways. Can't wait to come back!!!

10/10

Our Family staying in the home were met by the owners upon checking in! They were incredibly kind, informative, and clearly low key, like the BHI life style!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!! Also the home has 3 golf carts!!!

Everything was as advertised. Great location, very clean. We’ve rented dozens of homes over the years at Bald Head. This home was the best equipped by far. Plenty of kitchen tools, beach supplies etc. The use of the kayaks was an added bonus. Highly recommend.
