June 2024 - 10/10 Dream Vacation Home!
We’ve had the pleasure of staying at this property for our yearly family vacation over the last few years and it never disappoints! The home is furnished beautifully and always spotless. Multiple rooms to choose from with sleeping arrangements for infants and young children. It is a short golf cart drive to the Bald Head Island Club and when we want to switch it up and spend the days at the Shoals Club, we get to enjoy a beautiful scenic drive around the coastline. The hosts are always responsive and check in to make sure things are going well. Can’t wait to return again next summer!

We stayed a week here and the house was perfect. Incredibly clean and in an ideal location (close to BHI club, market). House was also well stocked with chairs and beach equipment. Communication from hosts was outstanding. Super responsive and friendly. Highly recommend.
The home was beautiful, spacious, and had everything we needed. Good views on great porches. Very comfortable beds! Golf carts worked well and garage had lots of fun and useful things. Great host that took care of us well. Excellent stay overall!
This property is beautiful and very well-equipped. We had everything we needed for a fun, relaxing vacation. There are 2 nice golf carts, plenty of beach chairs & umbrellas. Lots of time was spent on the porches, even advantage of a few naps on the hammock. We will definitely rent this house again!
We had the best time on BHI and this home was perfect in every way! The house is perfectly located- equal distances to the market, marina, beach & BHI club. The house was stocked with everything we could ever need. We had an issue with one of the golf carts and Edie responded immediately and took care of it. We plan to go back to BHI again and would definitely stay in this house!
This is a spectacular home. The home is appointed with comfortable furniture and is spotless! The roomy porches provide such relaxing times sitting outside. Communication with the host is instantaneous and check in was a breeze. We will definitely make this our go to house on Bald Head.
We had a wonderful stay at Good Idea House! Well maintained with ample kitchen applications and utensils. Loved the large porch for dining and coffee with the fresh breeze. Kids enjoyed the beach gear, game cabinet and ping pong table. Carts and beach chairs were great. Thank you for sharing your home!
We had a great trip! Communication with the hosts was excellent and the home was perfect for our group. The hosts were very responsive to an issue that came up during our stay.
We and our friends are frequent visitors to Bald Head and when I searched for a home that fit our needs, lots of conversation opportunities and a big kitchen were " a must". With this property both of these references were well met.
