This house is fine. We had young kids with us and didn’t need anything fancy. When we got to the island it was pouring down rain and the house was not unlocked like it was supposed to be. Luckily we were able to find the garage unlocked and shimmy between the golf carts to gain access to the house. I don’t know what we would have done if the garage wasn’t open bc the owner is completely non responsive. There were dead cockroaches and bugs on the floor and in the baths and the floors didn’t feel clean at all. I sent a message to the owner about it and never got a response. I actually sent many messages to the owner over the last 6 months to inquire about the BHI club. I never once got a reply. Both golf carts had problems. The smaller one had brakes so sensitive that if you braked like you normally would the cart would screech to a halt and jerk you forward. The larger golf cart is extremely hard to turn and the alignment is way off. The door to the second floor porch is also broken. We had a great time despite the total lack of communication with the owner. I would not stay here again though. The house felt unclean.

Nice place on bald head.

We had a great stay at the "Tree House". The kitchen was stocked nicely . The bedrooms great for our family including our 2 1/2 year old grandson. Location on cul de sac was very quiet. We are coming to Bald Head Island for the last 8 years and this was the best. Thank you Amy and John for sharing your house with us.

This was our first time to BHI, and it definitely will not be our last. The house was amazing - the screened in porch on the top floor was where we spent most of time when it rained…and again after dinners… The house had everything to make you feel at home…kitchen essentials and bathroom necessities. The road to the house was dreamy with the tree canopy and it truly felt like a dream. I’m still shocked this gem is right here in NC. Such a great stay. The beaches are endless and there’s something for everyone. Book the trip. You won’t regret it.

I rented a vacation home on Bald Head Island, North Carolina the week of July 23-30, 2021. My two teen kids each invited a friend to join us for the week. Below are portions of text messages I sent to the owner during the course of our stay and shortly after our stay (NOTE: this format on VRBO does not allow me to submit the several pictures I took that show many of the problems we encountered). ——————- From Renter to Owner: …We have killed a handful of cockroaches today…. (NOTE: the above message included other items, but it is noteworthy to mention that the homeowner NEVER apologized about the cockroaches, nor did she ever send anyone to the home to address the cockroach problem, nor did she ever mention the cockroach problem in any of her responses to my text messages.) ——————- From Renter to Owner: …The 7-speed bike… chain is no good… It's a nice bike. I wish we could use it. (NOTE: in the owner’s reply concerning the bike, she made no effort to get someone to fix the bike so we could use it nor did she apologize about it.) ———————— From Renter to Owner: …Attached is a pic of the mess in the bottom of your garbage can corral… (Note: the mess looked REALLY gross and the smell was putrid. The owner never apologized about the mess and she never sent anyone to clean up the mess during our stay). —————— From Renter to Owner: … the first floor entryway… (and) the garage floor are littered with dead cockroach nymphs…The upholstered seats of the dining room chairs are filthy…. (I sent pics of these two problems to the owner. She never apologized about them and never sent anyone to address these problems during our stay). —————— From Renter to Owner: My daughter's friend (our guest) just told me a cockroach crawled across her stomach while she was in bed last night. She told me she saw it as well. I hope we can come to an agreement on a reasonable refund of a portion of our rental fee. (NOTE: NO reply yet from owner). —————— From Renter to Owner: …your house needs a… power wash (including) the concrete pad in front of the front door… (NOTE: I sent owner pics of green stuff growing on exterior siding and windows. I again asked the owner for a comp/partial refund. No reply yet). I have stayed in vacation homes for over 20 years and this house was by far the most fraught with problems for which the owner never apologized and never attempted to resolve during our stay. It was a truly AWFUL experience.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Bald Head, this was our first trip to the island. We loved the house, it was perfect for our needs. The 3rd floor common area did feel like a treehouse. The big screened in porches were a treat as well. We didn’t want to leave. The house is located on a quite cul-de-sac with lots of shade. Many details were provided to ensure we had all we needed. The kitchen was well stocked, and we left things behind for future guests. We used a big tote for kitchen essentials brought from home which worked smoothly on the ferry. The market had all the other basics we could need. There weren’t many places on the island to eat so we cooked more than we expected. Things on the island are simple in that regard. Communication with the owner before our trip was helpful and she answered questions we had. Unfortunately, two things came up during our stay where we needed help and didn’t hear back. There are no instructions for the TV and the Roku did not appear compatible with the TV. My husband worked on it for a while. I’ve never known him not to problem solve a TV set up. We reached out to the homeowner but didn’t hear back. He finally hooked up his laptop and we streamed from there. We also had significant issues with the BHI Club. We paid $500 and had very little access. If we played golf or tennis maybe it would have been a different experience. But pool reservations were only working in person and it was a tremendous hassle for what should have been a relaxing week. Since guest membership at the club is through the homeowner, we reached out hoping for advice or suggestions, but didn’t hear back. We understood covid put some limitations on utilizing the club, but members did not need reservations; even Shoals, the other club on the island, no longer requires pool reservations for guest members. We made it the pool three times and one dinner at the BHI club for two of us. It was a big disappointment in our trip. Since homes determine access to clubs and guest membership, we likely won’t rent this home again. But otherwise, we very much enjoyed our stay. As a side note, if visiting the island for the first time during high summer season, be sure to book things far in advance—ferry tram service, activities through BHI Conservancy, tours, etc. Also, public beach access is really easy as there are several entry points. No showers or bathrooms that we saw though. When you get to the ferry, grab a few extra maps to have on hand.

What a charming home - we had such a wonderful time and the relaxing feeling sets in immediately upon getting to this property. Enjoy the birds chirping in the trees next to you from the screened in porches.

We had a lovely time staying on the island and enjoyed some much needed porch time in the trees. I enjoyed having my morning coffee on the porch listening to the birds and the trees. It was in a great location and close to everything while still feeling very secluded. Can't wait to visit again!

This is a lovely and charming. place to stay while visiting Bald Head. We loved it and had a great stay!

This is a wonderful rental property on BHI. There are screened in porches on each level, all of the rooms are very comfortable and well furnished. The reverse floor plan with the living area on the third floor was great. It was a large open room with forest views which provided us with a glimpse of some deer passing through. The location is at the end of a cul de sac and is very quiet. The owners provided lots of little extras like games, pet blankets and bowls, and starter toiletries. The best part is that our fur babies got to go and enjoy this vacation with us! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your property! We highly recommend it to others!

Nice property with lots of space. Enjoyed sitting on the many different decks reading.

Our family had a wonderful week at Keewatin House. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the 2 golf carts and the Friday to Friday rental. It was amazing to avoid the crazy-busy Saturday travel challenges at BHI. We enjoyed the woods location and saw two beautiful bucks below the screened-in porch as well as four does just down the street. Dining on the screened-in porch became our routine for breakfast and dinner. The owners were friendly and easy to work with. We had an outstanding week of sun. sand, waves, family, fun, and great food.

This house had really nice accommodations - kitchen utensils/cooking pans/etc, bedding, towels, etc. We had a couple of complications - none of which were the owners fault - and they were quick to respond to our immediate needs. Very satisfied with the whole week vacation! Thanks John and Amy!!

needed sports channels on the tv location a bit far back in the woods otherwise just fine

The house was described very accurately. Had great communication with the owner, who provided quick responses to any questions I had leading up to the reservation. Also provided additional information of activities going on on the area. The house was set up just right and very ample and comfortable for our group of 4 people utilizing three of the four bedrooms. Kitchen was well stocked with all appliances and extras. Beautiful and comfortable screened decks (multiple ones) and was extra nice having the two golf carts to get around. I love being in the forest area and the location at the end of the road made it extra private and quiet. I would definitely return to this property!!!

We enjoy Bald Head Island every year and this property was very nice: private, peaceful. Owners were easy to work with and responded quickly to questions or concerns.

Head to Bald Head Island to relax and enjoy time with family. Keewatin House has lovely porches that overlook the maritime forest. It is well stocked for entertaining. Access to bicycles and 2 golf carts allows your party to explore the island. Recommend paying for the temporary BHI club membership while visiting, so you can enjoy tennis, pool access, restaurants etc

We were so disappointed with this rental. Bald Head Island is usually a vacation our family looks forward to every year. However, this year, the accommodations made it difficult to enjoy. The first night, I killed numerous, huge cockroaches. When I contacted the owner, their solution was to buy bug spray. Every day and night we were killing roaches. My kids were afraid to sleep in their room. It was horrible! If that wasn’t bad enough, there were several electrical issues which didn’t charge the carts properly causing them to die on three separate occasions. The seller did rent carts for us, but at the end of our stay, kept the security deposit to cover the cost, stating “we did not properly follow the checkout procedure”. Trust me, we left it better than when we got there. The upstairs circuit is overloaded, so every time you would use the microwave, the circuit would trip and would have to go reset it. A huge hassle when making dinners. Also, several smoke detectors did not have batteries. Thank goodness the beach and pool was great! It got my mind off of the disaster of a house this was.

This was our 28th year at Bald Head and the second time we have stayed in this home. The new owners were just as great to work with as the previous owners!

As my second time staying at this house, I enjoyed it again! You are surrounded by the maritime forest, feel very secluded, but a quick golf cart ride to the beach. House is well stocked so I don't feel like I need to bring a lot with me, which is great when having to take the ferry. Hope to return.

We really enjoyed the house and the owners were very responsive and helpful.

We enjoyed the house. Great location and privacy. The only glitches were that the microwave is not working and the backseat of the 6-person golf cart is coming loose. Everything else in great condition. Thanks for having us!

Great Location. Everything in the house worked perfectly. Easy check in and check out

Very nice home, with lots of space and plenty of amenities

This was our second time at renting this wonderful home! We previously were the guests of some friends and had the pleasure to stay here in April of 2018 too. Unlike other homes on the island this kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to prepare dinner at home. The bikes are in great condition to as well as the golf carts. The screen in porch beside the living room is where we spent a lot of the time. The location of the house is nice and quiet at the end of a long winding road. Will definitely stay here again! The home owners were very accommodating and responded quickly to any inquiries we had.
