About this property

Belvedere is a High Dunes gem with AMAZING Ocean Views!

(4 BR/4.5 BA, 1K,2Q,3T,SL9, 2 golf carts, Saturday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 10:30AM / CHECK IN 4:30PM) Belvedere's elevation on South Beach's Dune Ridge provides spectacular ocean vistas from the home's screen porches and decks on the first two levels as well as the widow's walk/porch on the property's third floor.

The home's rich, dark walnut floors are the first thing you notice upon entering Belvedere and they hint of all the magnificent touches this gem has in store for you. The first level of this reverse floor-plan opens into a gathering/entertainment area. There is plenty of comfortable seating and a large flat-screen. Off this hub are three bedrooms-each spotlighting ocean views. A Queen Suite features a sitting area, large flat screen, desk for jotting postcards (while relishing the view) and a private ensuite bath. Another Queen bedroom and a Twin bedroom share a convenient nearby hall full bath. In addition, the laundry room is on this floor as well as access to this level's screened porch.

Upstairs, you'll delight in the bright, spacious and open sitting area, dining room and kitchen. Relax and renew while enjoying stunning views of South Beach or gather the family for conversation or a movie on the big screen while snuggling on the comfy sofas and chairs. Nearby you can dine in the tastefully-appointed dining room, complete with an elegant chandelier. The table easily accommodates eight. If alfresco meals are your preference, don't forget there's a dining set in the screened porch on this floor! Both of these options present spectacular seascapes ensuring pleasant mealtimes. For more informal munching, sit at the extra-large granite island. The island is also great for prepping culinary masterpieces and is just part of this high-end chef's dream-kitchen (which comes fully stocked with cookware/dishware and is equipped with stainless appliances and custom European-style, frameless cabinets). Also on this level is a gorgeous King Owner's Suite. You'll love the soaring vaulted ceilings that highlight the awesome views seen from the windows. The ensuite bath spoils with a custom-tiled shower and his/hers dual sinks.

Be sure to check out the widow's walk on this property's top floor. Its panoramas are breathtaking (and this third floor renders yet another location at this retreat to de-stress, catch some rays-or a nap-and just breathe in Bald Head's serenity). Other amenities included with Belvedere are internet access, a gas grill (conveniently located on the second level) and two golf carts-a four-passenger as well as a six-passenger and access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends. For a vacation well spent, spend your vacation at Belvedere!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Started off a bit rocky when arrived at 4:00 pm (official check-in time) and the house had not yet been cleaned from the prior week. Housekeeping had not even arrived yet. An army of folks showed up around 5:00, though, and the house was fairly quickly readied for our stay. One of the golf carts would not hold a charge and had issues charging and we had many close calls getting back to the house even with trying not to drive it that much. The last day, the cart and charger would not work at all. The manager seemed well aware of the issue and told us the owners are purchasing a new cart. The six-seater cart was extremely slow compared to other carts we have driven on the island over the past 20 years. Otherwise, the house is great with a fairly well-stocked kitchen, beach towels, bikes and beach chairs. The location is really good and the views are lovely. Easy walk down to the beach. We rented the same house the year before and received welcome gifts from WWP--a water bottle and useful bag. There were no welcome gifts this year, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, though, a great house to rent.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is lovely and great spaces. The cart carts were terrible, we did not explore the Island is in other years because of their unreliability. Wendy Wilmot was great in responding to any problems/questions we had but the golf carts remain a problem thru out our stay. Thank you.

Belvedere Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house! It’s our2nd time in this house and like the remodeling that was completed. The living room needs 2 lamps on the end tables and need mirror and bead spread in master and downstairs bedrooms. Seems like the remodel is still occurring. Biggest issue is the golf carts. The 6 passenger is slow and issue with the front axel. The 4 passenger is not safe. Unstable sway when driving, extreme,y jumpy when starting off. We had all adults but would not have felt safe with children due to jerky take off. Also the headlight is very weak and completely went out on the opposite side of the island the only night we took it out. Drove back without a headlight. Kitchen floor was very dirty. Needed mopping.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed at the Belvedere twice now and absolutely love it.

Great location on the island. Wonderful outdoor shower and grill.

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 loved our time & Belvedere! It's obvious there has been a lot of care put into this property. Only advice we'd give is in the kitchen ... It could use a few utensils like a box grater, salad spinner, cocktail shaker (pieces are missing), and sharp knives.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at this property we would rent the home again. There are a few things that would make the stay more comfortable. Several of the beach chairs were in poor condition. One of the bicycles also was in poor repair. One bedroom where two single beds were put together to make a king bed had a very poor mattress which needs to be replaced. The house is extremely nice and the beach is close by and easy to get too

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second year we’ve stayed in this house. Perfect location and layout for our family of 5. Mattresses and pillows need to be replaced and the kitchen furnishings need to be updated; all this is in keeping with the quality of the home and expectations for annual renters.

Amazing week on BHI

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 stayed at the Miller Beach House for a week with another family and were so happy with the house! It was in the perfect location, beautiful, very clean, and well stocked with everything that two busy families could need for a week! We were so happy with the house we are considering renting for longer next summer! We have rented on BHI for 14 years and can not say enough good things about the service of Wendy Wilmot Property, everything was a breeze from start to finish! Thank you! BHI is truly a magical place...

Spacious & Elegant

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: Very nice beach home, good views but not the best. Excellent porches and lots of natural light. Kitchen is very well equipped with more than you could ever need to prepare any meal. Beds were not very comfortable. One hair dryer for 4 bathrooms was very odd also. Good golf carts, 2 bikes were a nice surprise. Very quiet street, 2 memberships available.

Miller house

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house has very nice details, is clean and new. Nice views and good outdoor decking for drinks etc. It's in a nice location near some beautiful beaches! On the downside, the owners are quite inflexible when trying to change dates. They won't work with you. There is a compound right behind the houses 2-4 full families as guests. You just hope they are good neighbors. There were 20 plus people when we were there. There were no bikes as advertised and the golf carts need new batteries as they were slow and plodding. We had one maintenance issue that was never resolved.

Miller House July 2014

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was clean. The property manager was very unhelpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Like the house as its our 4th summer renting. Staff at WWP are great and responsive! We are a little disappointed to see the gradual wear from renters as some don't care as if it was their home. Most noticeable on the hardwood floors, open food items in cupboards and some broken window shades. Had a cockroach this trip but WWP came and sprayed the next day.
