Delightful Stay in BHI

We just spent a week at the Hatchling House and my only regret is that we didn’t book another week. The home, one of the first built on the island, is perfect for families with kids and is a one minute cart ride to South Beach and very short trips to East Beach, the Marina, and the market. We hope to stay there again soon.

Great week!

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 😊

From the welcome bag with goodies and waters, to the comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and supplies, to toys, books and bicycles galore.

Quality house for quiet beach trip

Great house for family of four (and dog) to enjoy quiet trip to the beach. Lucked out with terrific weather during our stay and the location was excellent for many beach points, the market, and BHI club. The open living area made the time even more relaxing after full day of activities. Will definitely consider again for future BHI trips. Communication with owners was easy and guidebook at house was clear on the various bells & whistles…..

We traveled to Bald Head for Memorial Day weekend with our son and his friends. Although the weather did not cooperate, we have a great visit. The house was well stocked and extremely clean and comfortable. The layout gave us plenty of room to spread out and the boys had their own space to hang out downstairs. I would highly recommend renting this house and would do so again.

Amazing spring break at the Hatchlings House!

We had the BEST time at BHI at the Hatchlings House. Sharon and Jim were such amazing hosts, checking in multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. We were particularly impressed with the stocked kitchen, game closet, beach toys, bikes, and vacation supplies. Truly, it has everything you could ever need in a vacation home. We had four kids between our families, and they enjoyed the room downstairs with the bunk beds. I also appreciated all of the extra special touches they accommodated for our dog Yoshi, including the cute doggy towel. Would not hesitate to recommend this house to any new or seasoned BHI traveler!
