Very nice home. Loved the front porch!
We had a wonderful time staying in your home, we had everything we needed. We have stayed here before and really enjoyed the new golf cart. The only complaint we had was that the oven really needed cleaning, we didn't use the oven due to it not being cleaned. Otherwise everything was great! Thanks Ainsley!

Spring Break Getaway
Visited the island with our 12yo for a few days over spring break. House is clean and cozy, and everything was all set when we walked in the door. We enjoyed watching movies on the smart tv downstairs in the evenings after dark, and listening to the ocean in the morning. Fun location not too far from East Beach. Golf cart had recently been serviced, which was an added bonus!

Great stay once again
Not our first time staying here and won’t be our last. We love everything about it. In fact, we noticed there was a day’s gap in reservations so we extended our stay an extra day. Highly recommended

Location Location and Nugget Ice Maker!
This is a fabulous location - so close to the beach yet only a quick golf cart ride to the market and shops. Kitchen was nicely appointed, and the Nugget Ice Maker was a nice surprise. Our family loved that! The bunk room would be a tight fit if you're planning to use the trundle bed but everything worked out for our family's stay. Host was very responsive to communications and extremely easy to work with. Thank you for sharing your home!

Great stay!
My wife and her friends booked their annual girls’ trip and decided on bald head island and this rental. They all really enjoyed their stay and my wife got to sleep in the separate suite which she likened to a treehouse. The owner was very responsive and they all enjoyed the beauty of the island. They also really enjoyed the hospitality of everyone on the island as well. Great stay!

Such a lovely location!
Our extended family and two dogs stayed here for 4 nights. This house is tucked in a quiet neighborhood with lots of trees and shade, and was just a short walk to East Beach. The large golf cart fit all of us, including the dogs! Any questions I had were answered quickly. A nice house, a nice vacation.

Well stocked home near the beach
My family and I loved this house. It’s in a neighborhood surrounded by live oaks and palms, but the beach is so close, you can hear it. The kitchen was one of the most well stocked that I’ve seen. Given that the food options are limited on the island, we always come prepared to cook when we stay. We were surprised by the quality of the bikes and beach chairs (which I know likely won’t last since the beach eats stuff like that), they had clearly been recently updated. The back yard is almost completely fenced in, which was enough to fool our dog while we hung out on the back deck.

Best Location and excellent home!
We just wrapped up our stay at this house and it's was hands down 5 star. Super clean, great space/layout, and the location is excellent. It takes about 30 seconds to drive in the gold car to the beach access. We will definitely be coming back!

Island Oasis
We had a wonderful BHI visit while staying at this cottage! The property was clean, cozy, and cute! It was well equipped inside and outside!! There was plenty of comfortable seating In the living area and the beds were very comfortable. A 6 passenger golf cart and bicycles were fun for riding around the island. The front porch was our “hang out” to start the day while drinking a cup of coffee and end the day while sipping a glass of wine! We hope to be back soon! Great memories! Great time!!

This a cute house and a great location close to South Beach access. It’s well equipped but no frills. The owner was very responsive in the booking process and with the one question we had while at the house. The 6 person golf cart is fantastic.

2022 Girls Trip was 5 stars!
8 moms got to get away!- we had a wonderful trip. Enjoyed coffee on the porch each morning (the girls who stayed in the crofter enjoyed having their own Keurig in the room!) All the girls loved how comfortable the beds were. The golf cart had curtains which was great since we had a little rain one day! It didn't stop us for going out on an adventure! This was my second time at this house in Cape Fear Station which IMO is the best area on the island!

Great Stay- booking again!
Enjoyed our weekend at Ainsley's place. Great communication. Easy checkin/out. The crofter above the golf cart garage was an added bonus. We were with two other couples and we chose to stay in the crofter. It was so nice to be with others, but then have the privacy of this private bedroom. The bathroom looked to have been renovated recently and it had its own coffee maker. We are already thinking about booking this home over spring break with our children and grandparents.
