Great stay!
Thank you! It was a great experience both the home and the reservation service! It’s a great overall experience. Holmes exactly where we needed to receive our friends and family for a very special weekend. The Intercoastal staff made it an easy process. Thank you all, Jeannie and JP

Beautiful, well-appointed home with ideal layout for groups.
The house is beautifully decorated in a transitional style and comfortably accommodated our group of nine, thanks to its spacious and well-thought-out layout. All of the furnishings—including beds, bedding, pillows, chairs, and cushions—were exceptionally comfortable. The location was ideal, just a short walk or golf cart ride to beach access points 11 and 13. It was truly a joy to stay here. A few details not mentioned in other reviews that might help future guests better prepare for their stay: The top floor has one king bedroom with a detached full bathroom, which also serves the kitchen and living area. One couple in our group stayed in the top floor king bedroom and used that bathroom as their private one, so the rest of us were mindful to use bathrooms on other floors when needed. The second floor features another king bedroom with an en suite bath, access to a screened-in porch, and a private door leading to the wraparound front porch. Also on the second floor are two bedrooms with two queen beds each, plus a smaller room with a Murphy bed. One of the queen rooms has an ensuite full bathroom attached to the bedroom. The other queen room opens to a covered and screened in porch area with a nearby twin bed swing—allowing for a relaxing, private moment if sharing the bedroom. This second floor also includes one full bathroom (shared between those in the second queen room and Murphy bedroom) and a laundry room. The ground level houses a large garage with a ping pong table, two golf carts, beach chairs, ping pong paddles, and a boogie board—all of which added to the fun of our stay. The only suggestion I’d offer to make an already wonderful experience even better would be to consider stocking a few more basic household items—such as unscented laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, trash bags, toilet paper, olive oil, salt, and pepper. While there is a thoughtful starter supply provided (excluding food items), for a weekly rental at this price point (~$11.5K), it would have been a welcome touch not to have to purchase some of those essentials. That said, we absolutely plan to return and will simply come more prepared next time, as the local grocery store—while well-stocked—is understandably more expensive than stores on the mainland.

Beautiful BHI Home
This house is the best location we've rented and we've rented at BHI a handful of times. Walking distance to the beach and beautiful water and golf course views on the back side of the house. The very large deck and screened in porch were our favorite spots to relax. Inside, the home is immaculate and appears to be professionally decorated--in every room, or else homeowner has amazing design taste! Two new golf carts, washer/dryer, TV's in all the bedrooms, spacious closets, ping pong table our teenage boys loved....so many positives! Working with Intracoastal (specifically Mohammad) made transportation to and from the home easy. He responded promptly to questions I had while we were in the home as well as before and after our trip. Very helpful and professional!

Excellent Vacaton Property
Our recent stay exceeded expectations! There were several members of our group with varying degrees of mobility issues, so the elevator was a huge plus. The comfort and thoughtful layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms helped everyone feel at home. The location is excellent, a short golf cart ride to everything. Quality of the home, cleanliness, well stocked kitchen, comfortable common areas -- all top notch. A shout out to the staff, everyone was pleasant and quite helpful. We are going back next month!

Comfortably Elegant
This is a beautiful home with more must haves than one must have. Everything has been thought of from comfortably elegant decor and design to entertainment and accessibility. Comfortable beds and beautifully crafted furniture make every room lovely to be in. My father-n-law was in a wheelchair but between the elevator and golf carts there wasn’t anywhere we could go that he wasn’t with us. The kitchen is well stocked and thoughtfully laid out making cooking and cleanup a breeze. To top it off, a cup of coffee and early morning sunrise over the golf course is worth waking up for.

Spectacular
First of all the house is better than the pictures, it is very clean and well appointed, just bring your clothes, the closets were spacious so no worries as to were to hang them , and the bathrooms were spacious and no need to worry about towels. The main n level is also very well done , everything you need for meals are available in the kitchen as well as the outdoor grill. Plenty of seating space inside and outside for great view of the ocean at the front of the house or the golf course in the rear. Great people watching if the golfers coming up the 9 th hole and also great for watching nature. The clubs are great. Enjojyed the golfing and pickle ball as well as the pools. 2 clubs to go to the Shoals club has a great beach and pools too, I appreciate the elevator at the house since I have issues going up and down the stairs. We will definitely be coming back here again. We had a very relaxing time and the weather happen to be perfect for us this memorial weekend ,

Simply Amazing
This house and experience was more than expected. There is a backyard view of the golf course and panoramic views of the ocean. When on the deck and the porches. You can hear the ocean and soak in the sun- even in December. The house itself and the furnishings are all brand new and beautifully decorated. Having 2 golf carts made it easy for the whole family and friends to get places. And the elevator made it so easy to bring groceries upstairs. I can’t wait to come back to Love you, BHI
