Home Away from Home
The Bitter End is a great vacation rental and truly a “home away from home”. The house has everything, even all the beach essentials. The owners and management team were attentive and a pleasure to work with. If you need something, they were on top of it. The house is spacious. We had three families, all with kids, and were able to have our own space without being on top of each other. The Bitter End is in a great location, just minutes from the market, shops, marina, and BHI Club. The sunset views from the deck were amazing and you’re steps away from beach access. Will stay again.

Fun house during a rainy week
We were comfortable in this house on our rainy week at BHI. The kitchen is well appointed for non-complex cooking. The distance to the beach is good as well as the chairs and boogie boards available. The only complaint is that the odor in the crofter unit rendered it unusable the week we were there. It could have been new paint that will dissipate over time, I’m sure. Overall, thanks for a great stay!
Ann K - Posted: 8/24/2021
Thank you, we appreciate you review and comments! The owners are here now, they are monitoring the crofter for any type of odor. We hope to see you back on the island soon! Crofter Update: The owner took extra measures and had the crofter HVAC system cleaned. No issues have been detected or reported for almost two years.

4 out of 5 stars
Great space for large groups and kids of all ages. Kitchen is spacious and beds are comfortable. A couple of small negatives I’m the details that take away - the second (lesser master suite on the first floor) has no dresser at all and maybe 8 hangers. This rental is not cheap and expecting the renter to live out of their travel bag off the floor for a week is not cool (not when you’re paying 11k!) . No blow dryers, no full length mirrors anywhere, limited extra blankets.
Melissa M - Posted: 8/17/2021
Thank you for the review and comments! We will provide additional hangers and blow dryers, I'm sorry we were not aware at the time you were here, we would have gladly delivered those items. We will also pass along your feedback to the owners, thank you! Come back soon! Owner response: “We spoke with the owners and they appreciate your feedback. They are adding additional hairdryers, hangers, mirrors, and a dresser to the downstairs master for future rentals. They appreciate your feedback and are glad to take steps to improve the guest experience at the Bitter End.”
