Wonderful property for our family celebration of a wedding on the island.
We all enjoyed this beautiful property for a family wedding. Tyler with the Bald Head Island management team were exceedingly attentive to the needs of our group and he made a potentially difficult situation much less traumatic than it could have been! So, thank you! We loved our stay!

Great Memories
Our third trip to BHI and our third property. Each time has been a better experience. This house is perfect for one large family or two families. Plenty of living space. Close to beaches. Centrally located to everything. It was clean and well stocked with everthing needed to cook. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Delightful Stay at Make A Wave
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: We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay at Makea Wave. The deck was a perfect hang out where we could capture sun or shade at all hours, while enjoying the gorgeous ocean views protected from the wind- perfect for spring temperatures! When we left a cell phone behind, the property managers were so incredibly responsive and helpful in getting the phone to the ferry and over to the main land promptly!

Great Friend Reunion House
We recently stayed at 3 Sea Holly Court for the second time. Our first visit was over Thanksgiving during Covid where we enjoyed a wonderful (and very needed) get away with family and our children's friends. This second visit included a gathering of 5 couples who are close and dear friends. This house is the perfect venue for large gatherings as the living area/kitchen space is open and expansive and perfect for entertaining large parties. We also loved the large deck area for social gathering and views of the ocean. We have rented many houses at BHI and this house by far is our favorite.

Annual Family Vacation
We were very happy with the house it fit our family of 13 very well and the location was great. We had a couple of hiccups during our stay including a broken bed in the kids room upon arrival and during a rain storm a master bedroom with a leaky window which was discover when a suitcase full of clothes was found soaking wet. Both situations were dealt with in a timely manner which we appreciated. My only complaint is the amount of large bugs there were inside the house and outside on the deck. I have stayed in many other rentals on the island and have only experienced this problem once before. I would suggest maybe getting an exterminator or following up with the one being used for better service.

Large House- Great For Families!
We just stayed here for our family vacation. There was plenty of space for 3 adult couples and 3 tween/teenage girls. The rooms were well-sized and each room had its own bathroom so no one had to share. The main floor/great room is really spacious, which we loved. The kitchen is well-equipped and the outdoor kitchen/grill area was really cool. There are also 2 washer machines and 2 dryers which was super convenient. There were 3 golf carts as well which was very helpful since we had 3 sets of adults. The house is very centrally located and is a really easy walk to the beach, about 1 minute in a golf cart. It is very easy to get to the grocery and shops and to both BHI and Shoals Club. We didn’t have any issues during our stay and the Property Manager was very communicative and easy to reach. My only complaint was that the house could use a really deep clean. It was generally clean enough but there were a couple of areas that could use a good scrub- the master bathroom walls were a little yuck. The master bedroom bedding should definitely be upgraded/replaced and a lot of the cushions and upholstery and rugs throughout would benefit from a deep clean. It was certainly not a deal-breaker by any stretch and the positives definitely out-weighed the negatives but the house could use some TLC. Still would recommend and like mentioned above, was one of the larger houses we have stayed in on the island, which was a total plus.

Lovely first (but not last) trip to the Island
This was a lovely, very well situated property -5 min walk from the beach, 10 min ride to BHI club, 5 min ride to the market. The house was lovely and well-equipped for our large family (3 adults, 7 kids from 7-14 age range). We rented bikes for the little kids - the house comes with 4 - and they were able to ride around the island. I also like that the house is close to south beach, where the water is smoother and not as rough (I get nervous with so many kids and no lifeguards). The BHI club was wonderful for the adults bc of tennis, golf and the fitness center. I will say that the pool set up is really geared towards younger kids - our 7 year olds loved it but the five kids from age 10 and up really preferred the beach. And during the high season you can only reserve 2-3 hour pool slots which fill up fast. So while it’s nice to have access to the club and not that expensive for a week or so, if you don’t play golf or tennis and have older kids you might skip it. Anyway, this felt like a house and a vacation spot that has it all. Can’t wait to visit again…and again and again. Last thing - everyone told us to bring our favorite foods from home and I honestly think that was unnecessary. While the market didn’t have all of our favorite brands, it was pretty good - it’s just more expensive. Next time I will only bring liquor (which you can’t buy on island), favorite wines (there is a very good buy limited selection) and true specialty items.

Great location and house
This home has a great location and was plenty spacious for our group of three kids and five adults. Beach access just across the main road which was convenient. Having three golf carts was great - the one with the "truck bed" on the back was helpful especially for picking up part of our group from the ferry.

Great house and agent
Perfect place for our mix of three families. (10 all together). Lots of room, great kitchen. Huge deck. Relatively short walk to the beach. Very clean, lots of towels. Central location to get to the market or the BHI club. 3 carts was a big plus (although the two 6 person carts were enough for most of our outings). Barbara was a fantastic representative. Communicative throughout the rental process and very helpful.

This is the perfect house!
To say this property exceeded every expectation is an understatement. We came as an extended family to experience the much-beloved BHI Halloween weekend tradition & absolutely loved every second. This home is IDEAL for a family with multiple adults & kids. Every couple had their own (king!) bedroom & the 5 children were incredibly comfortable in their rooms. The kids rooms are set back in a way that allows for the adults to enjoy a post-kid-bedtime evening downstairs & not worry about waking the tiny humans. The family room & kitchen live perfectly. We can only hope to return. Thank you, Barbara, for your kind and gracious responses to our questions and for making this stay so very special!

Friends Weekend
We really enjoyed this home. The 3 golf carts were very helpful for us to have options for transportation as there were three couple staying at the house. We chose this home because there were 3 King bedrooms. The common area was very open and comfortable. We would consider renting this again and bringing our families because it was much bigger than we actually needed this time.

Comfortable and convenient beach house
Our two families with teens really enjoyed our stay at Sea Holly! The home is in an excellent location, just a short walk to the beach, and in between Shoals and BHI Club. The front balcony faces the ocean and is a great place to visit in the evenings. The kitchen is well equipped with two fridge/freezers, a bar and plenty of cooking supplies. The set up with 3 bedrooms upstairs and a lounge was perfect for our teens to have a separate area to hang out. Barbara was very responsive and accommodating. We will be back!
