Summer House

Summer House was great for our family's annual beach vacation. The peacefulness of BHI was just what was needed! The beach was within walking distance and very enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked with all pots, pans, plates, utensils, glasses, etc. needed. We appreciated having beach towels provided - one less thing to pack. We loved using the golf carts which were easy to operate. Just be extra careful on the back ramp which was very slick when wet. We had trouble getting up and back down the ramp following rain. The house doors were difficult to lock but we quickly learned that the handles needed to be pushed upward to lock using the deadbolt. We signed up for the BHI Club which was great for our group (4 adults, 8 yr. old, 6 yr. old., 18 mos). The water area/waterslides at the Club were great for the kids. Please note that you need to make a reservation for Club pool time. Mike's Bites was great for Italian Ice (or hot dogs/quick bite to eat) and the Conservatory right there was fun to visit. We also used Coastal Urge to rent bikes which we enjoyed. They delivered and picked up the bikes making it effortless. Intracoastal Realty was on-point with everything as well as the ferry service. We will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Summer House. The home is situated on a bluff overlooking the sea from all decks including a rooftop deck. The decor is “whimsical and beachy”. It was a peaceful and idyllic setting. Had everything we needed including comfortable beds and the large kitchen was fabulous. Would not hesitate to recommend this home and the experience of such a beautiful island.

Great rental experience- the only negatives would be the golf carts. For a house that easily sleeps 11+, there are only 2x 4-seater golf carts included, so we did have to rent an additional one for the week. But this house easily and comfortably accommodated our 3 families! The layout is great- some of the rooms are a bit outdated, but it more than served our needs for a week on the beach.

Intracoastal Realty was a pleasure to work with, as we had a moving arrival target. We had a golf cart issue that was resolved within 30 minutes. The only bummer was the tear sheet on the house said 3- 4person golf carts, and we only had 2. The house was great though. The upper deck furniture was rotted and unusable. One barstool's arm was broken, so we moved it aside.

Loved this house and the amazing view. Did not love the issues we experienced with the golf carts and electrical outlets. First of all, if you are advertising a house that sleeps 10 (but actually sleeps 11), you need to have at a minimum a 6 passanger and 4 passenger golf cart. Upon arrival, we had to pick up a rental cart for the week (added expense). Second, you should check the quality of the golf carts prior to each rental. Upon arrival, one of the golf carts was not functional at all. The rental company had to send us a replacement. On day 2, the replacement would not charge due to an issue with the electrical outlets. Had constant issues with the TV in the master bedroom. On the 5th day, the tire on the other house golf cart blew and we were stranded with kids and leftovers. We lost many hours dealing with golf cart issues and it made for an unpleasant experience. Another thing to note, the back door on the main level would never stay closed. Numerous times I would walk downstairs to a very humid and unpleasant room.

Roomy and well-appointed home in a great “dune ridge” location on BHI! Great experience with rental booking, check-in (early!), check-out and all pre-arrival communication.

Our stay on Baldhead Island was great. The ferry not so great. There was limited seating on the ferry of 75 which I understood and appreciated. What I did not understand was not running two ferry during the time people like myself were waiting in the sun 3 hours to board.
