Cozy Cottage, Old Baldy Lighthouse Views, BHI

The majority of the house was great/beautiful, but two things seemed odd to me. First, the upper screened-in porch (which is adjacent to and visible from the kitchen, family, and dining room area) had an enormous amount of large spider webs (with spiders) that gave the house a haunted house look and feel. (I would have removed the 50+webs because they bothered me so much, but they were on the outside of permanently attached screens, and the webs were on the second story of the house. The webs looked like they had been in place for months. The second odd thing was that there was an internal device (either a motion detector or security camera) pointed directly at the king mattress in the master bedroom). I would like to think that it was a motion detector (for security), but it was odd that it was NOT pointed at the back door/exit in the master bedroom. The motion detector was pointed directly at the bed (meaning the only motion that would be detected would be from getting into, out of, or on the mattress (not motion coming from someone exiting or entering the house from the backdoor). I think this internal device should have been mounted above the entrance door to the master bedroom, which would point the motion detector directly at the back door. I do not like to think that it was a security camera (as that would be not just odd but creepy as the motion detector only had the red light go on when we laid on the mattress -- and not entering or exiting the master bedroom). We did put a washcloth over the motion detector just in case it was not a motion detector (and was a camera) that was watching our activities in bed. I hope that the management company will keep the exterior of the house better maintained as the house was very attractive (except for the spider webs). I hope the motion detector would be moved to a different location so that it would not monitor our movements getting in and out of the bed/mattress (or be removed entirely and placed on the outside porch attached to the master bedroom). I do think that it was a nice house, but I hope that the spider webs and the master bedroom security device would be removed.

I grew up on the island and needed extra space for a group of friends. This house was perfect for three couples with young kids. Perfectly located on the island with lots of space to share!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than 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 nice time. However, the sofa was not a sofa bed, just a sofa. So, the house does not sleep 11 as advertised. Also, there was a lot of clutter. It was clean though.

Reviewer Comments: Overall, other than some updating needed, the house was a great place for my family (3 kids under 6), my wife and mother to spend 7 days at. Rooms were nice size and plenty of beds to sleep us comfortably. Bathrooms were clean and updated. Kitchen could use some work, but again, we spend our time at pool and ocean so not that big of a deal. The two golf carts were okay - one of them really needs some work as it's slow but still did the job. For the price and size of the house, it's hard to beat it.

House was great except it does need some updating. Master bedroom patio needs new chairs, wicker furniture is falling apart. Beds were comfy but could use new pillows. Rug in foyer needs to be replaced. Overall some refreshing would help.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We greatly enjoyed our stay at ALL INN with the exception of the following things - 1. The house was not ready for us at 3:30pm as promised. Kelvin with Intracoastal however was exceptional in helping us leave our bags and later bringing us our welcome packet.2. The dishwasher needs attention as the top rack is unstable and the rubber seal around the interior is coming off. The owners really need to purchase a new dishwasher.

Next time, we'd probably go with something closer to the beach as with 6 adults and 5 kids, getting to the beach in 2 golf carts was challenging. But, we knew going in it was 4 minutes away to the closest beach so, lesson learned. The house was great, plenty of room, clean, nice. Blender didn't work which was disappointing for margarita making, lol! But, would recommend highly to folks not planning on making many trips to the beach or if you don't have kids with you. Would have been nice to know there were a few beach chairs and wake boards there, we wouldn't have brought ours. Wish there was a way to let folks know that type stuff. Maybe we just missed it. Had a great time, thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely and comfortable home. The furniture, beds, linens and towels are high quality and great. The kitchen cabinets need repainting but that's being picky. The house was well stocked. We missed a beach view and just didn't care for the 'forest' view.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time to Bald Head Island. The home had everything we needed. The kids room was fun, kitchen and porch we loved. Sun drenched and comfortable. I wish there was an option to purchase a kitchen essentials kit with basic food items like olive oil, stick of butter, salad dressing etc. Seems wasteful to have to purchase large quantities of items to then just toss at the end of of your stay. Also the photos show the Bald Head Island pool which we were not able to access because they need a 5 day advance notification. No one ever informed us of this nor did anyone ever gave us any info on pricing etc. The Bald Head Island club was not easy to contact.

This is a nice house with a master on the first and a master on the second. Two screened porches, a good central location, very bright and airy second floor (kitchen, living room, dining room). some of the stuff is older and could use a refresh, but overall we would definitely stay here again.
