The house was lovely. The beds were very comfortable. The only thing we did not like was the house was surrounded by trees that had not been trimmed, so there was no view. The location of the house was great and if they trimmed the trees, you could see hole 9 and the ocean. There was a porch upstairs and the ocean was visible. The house was well stocked with appliances. Air fryer, etc. if they trim the bushes, we will be back!! They had 4 golf carts!

We got stuck in a 1000 year flood for the island .very stressful as food and water were an issue But that said ,the home was very nice clean and well appointed.although I small roof leak from the storm happened. I trip did check in with us in person , the fella road a bike thru 2 feet of water to check on us. So the experience we had with itrip was good as for Mother Nature not so much.now it will be a chore trying to leave the swamp lol

Great place to stay on Bald Head Island
We had a great time in Blackbeard's Return on Bald Head Island. The House was well furnished and stocked, bedrooms, kitchen, porches as promised. The location was great and we had access to everything with the provided golf carts and bikes. We also were able to cook out one night on the provided grill. There are always little hiccups, but ITrip NC was very responsive and all were resolved quickly. I highly recommend!

Wonderful Property
This was a must needed trip for our family! We loved the nature that this island has to offer and this property enhances that. The property was very clean, and everything was just as advertised and in working condition. The management company was very thorough and answered every question we had and ensured we had a great time. We highly recommend this property and we will definitely we returning! Thank you iTrip for a great time!

Beautiful Island, but poorly managed property.....
We have very much enjoyed our multiple visits to Bald Head Island but spent a great deal during this vacation dealing with house related issues. The management company (iTrip) only communicated via text message, and has since stopped responding to us all together despite multiple attempts to reach them after our stay. Some issues included , siding falling off the house, sand in the beds upon arrival, upstairs AC not working, golf carts non functional, windows and doors wouldn't lock, vents above our bed held on with painters tape, trash in the yard, bbq grills completely rusted out, bikes completely rusted out, garage power worked intermittently, just to name a few of the many problems we had to constantly text back and forth about. Our goal was to have a carefree vacation but several hours each day were spent dealing with these and other issues, not to mention a very unhappy spouse with whom they refused to communicate because she wasn't on the contract. The home has so much potential, but I cant say that we would do business with this group again.

Perfect House for Golfing Family
My family of six and Goldendoodle planned our early April trip around my 80th birthday and four other March birthdays. The house was perfect size for all to move around in and home furnishings and decor were outstanding. The location to BHI Club was perfect, as we are a golfing family. My son actually walked over to the course one day. We certainly benefitted from our temporary membership to the BHI Club and enjoyed three days of golf, dinner in three locations at the club, and made use of the pool.....great inclusive deal. The owners left three carts, one big enough for clubs and two had weather shields needed for rainy days. My son and daughter enjoyed morning walks along the nearby beach with the dog. We were able to easily navigate the island and take in a real mix of golfing shopping, and sightseeing. I would highly recommend this property to multi-aged families who desire a complete housing package for their vacation. Finally, I appreciated the owner's instructions for entering and leaving the house. They were very complete and made the entire rental experience a pleasure. I would book this property again!!!

Great house & location
We visited for some pre-construction meetings on the island. We requested to extend our trip 3 different times and iTrip was very responsive and accommodating. House had everything we need plus nice ocean views from the top deck. The proximity to the BHI Club was great and we even walked there several times.

Blackbeards Return 7/2022
Have been to BHI yearly since 2017. have stayed in multiple places. Very pleased with the place. It's secluded so neighbors weren't an issue. Most locals are cool but there are enough there to run into some rude ones LOL. The distance to the beach was the biggest issue but not a big issue. BHI club close by but I stopped using that service years ago. Great location for Marina/shops. Kids had a great time. Minor issues with the house and golf carts but iTrips were very easy to work with to get them resolved. Plan to rent again next year.

Awesome location and space
Perfect location for enjoying all the beaches in Bald Head Island. The property does overlook the golf club and club golf cart parking and maintenance area, but absolutely no noise from inside the house, and we honestly enjoyed hearing the faint sounds of people enjoying themselves from the tennis area and pool - added to the vacation vibe! No privacy issues and great views of the beach and ocean from the second floor bedroom was a bonus! There were some minor cleanliness issues in the kitchen on arrival (fridge shelves and coffee maker quite dirty) but didn’t deter from the stay and bathrooms, living areas were spotless. Great communication from rental agency. Would definitely stay again
