We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was nicely appointed and met our needs for our stay on the island. We would recommend for a couple’s stay.

We had a great weekend away and couldn’t recommend this beautiful home more! We love the coast of New England and definitely felt like the house had the coastal cottage charm. We had some questions & Hugh was very responsive. Couldn’t recommend the home more!

We have been to Bald Head Island on several occasion and this was one of our favorite stays. The cottage was perfect for a couples getaway. Hugh was accommodating to meet our needs regarding arrival. The cottage was beautifully decorated and instantly felt like home. It was convenient being near the marina and not having to book a tram. The sunrise over the marsh was gorgeous and seeing the sky lit up with stars at night while still in bed was magical. We are already talking about another trip and we just left..

Would stay there again because of the location on a dead end street.but close to harbor. Amenities were good. Bathrooms were smaller than anticipated. Otherwise, very comfortable. Upstairs balcony view of lovely marsh.

We enjoyed our stay at BH Diamond thoroughly. The owners have made great use of every square inch of the house, equipping it with most everything one could think of. It *is* 500 sq.', so be aware that it's small (but doable) for a week stay but is much larger than many of the options on Bald Head for a nightly stay. There are several things I look for when I travel: the bed was VERY comfortable, the home was clean and in good order, AC worked great, shower pressure was great, and a bonus, I was shocked to see that the knives were sharp. That never happens. The kitchen had a choice of coffee pots and was well-equipped at the time of our visit with spices and cooking implements. Be aware that the refrigerator is not full size and the cooking area is small, if you plan to do a lot of cooking, but the space was sufficient for our needs. Paper products and coffee supplies were provided--thank you. Location is excellent--views of the marsh from upstairs and close to shops and dining in the harbor. The screened porch is close to the neighbors, but they are quiet and unobtrusive. Their lovely landscaping is a beautiful buffer, so the space still feels private. Photos are accurate. Absolutely loved the house. Built in the 80s with attention to small details, it feels like a home that's been loved by a family through many generations.

We stayed “in town” for the first time in the 30+ years we have been coming. We loved it! Kids and grandkids were on the island as well but it was a great getaway for us. We look forward to returning next year!
It was nicely stocked too with

The lockbox on the front porch was difficult to locate, requiring a phone call to the owner. The property's windows were dirty and some of the ceiling fans were badly rusted. The treads on the front steps were not secure. The property listing showed a "private pool" as an amenity. In reality, the pool was at the far end of the island, was not "private" but part of a resort, and there was an admission cost. The listing was deceptive at best, dishonest at worst.

The space was perfect for me and my spouse. Yes the stairs are a bit different, but they are exactly as described in the pics and description. The AC did an admirable job of keeping up in the crazy heat. Great place and would stay again.

Enjoyed our stay and cottage is cozy with plenty of amenities… tight quarters for luggage and nowhere to put clothing. Had to open and keep rollaways on porch as our closet.

My husband and I were on BHI with our entire family. We chose this location to be able to visit with family, but then have our own quiet retreat. This property was an excellent choice for us. The owner laid out clear instructions for our arrival. The property was clean and we found the property description to be accurate. We found the witches' stairs easy to navigate, but if someone is having mobility issues they may want to reconsider. There was plenty of room for us to not be on top of each other and we enjoyed having 2 separate bathrooms...one upstairs and one downstairs. We completely enjoyed this property and look forward to visiting again in the future!

It was a nice house. Really cute.

The cottage was everything and more than what you read in the listing. Equipped with everything you could possibly need and the property manager was easy to work with. The location is a perfect location from which to explore the island and it’s worth it to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase a guest past to the Shoals Club, which is first class. We can’t wait to visit again.

This was the best place for our long weekend in Bald Head! The space was perfect and had everything you could need. The owner provided a few bottles of water, coffee with cream and sugar packets, and even basic cooking spices. It is within walking distance to a few restaurants and a coffee shop if you and close to the ferry landing so we were the first drop off the tram! We will definitely be back. :)

Bald Head Diamond is a great cottage for a couple. Cozy, quiet, and quaint. Within easy walking distance of Jules, bike rentals, and boat gazing in the harbor. Hugh was a very friendly and responsive host.

We stayed at the same home 20 years ago. The place has been nicely updated and is still charming as ever. Highly recommend for a couple looking for a quiet getaway! Thank you Hugh.

Cute little house for two people. Accessing the loft bedroom is a bit treacherous, as the ascent and descent is very steep. My wife has some mobility issues so that was a bit tough for her. The kitchen is tiny but has tools for cooking. The bathrooms are small and had no bath soap, we expected to have some there but we bought some at the market. The golf cart was a nice to have, it’s a bit slower than others but on BHI, one need not be in a hurry. The cottage is close to Jules’ restaurant and tram which is nice. Well appointed place with comfortable bedding.

A lovely place, tastefully decorated with everything for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed our morning coffee and beautiful view on the screened porch, and impressive evening views on the upstairs deck.
Thank you to our hosts!

This was our second stay at the Diamond and it is still cute as a button! Amazing that it literally has everything you need in such a compact footprint. Beautiful decor and many thoughtful touches. Beautiful view of the marsh. Very close to the beach. Perfect for two!

This cottage was fantastic for my wife and I to get away for a long weekend. Perfect size, perfect location, perfect host. We enjoyed the water views from the upstairs balcony/porch, the convenience to the marina restaurants and the cozy feel of this cottage. And Hugh was great to work with. We will be back!

We found this unit to be in a perfect location, walkable from the marina where the ferry arrives. Dining and shopping choices are within a short walk, and the golf cart is convenient for the rest of the island. The unit is relatively small but more than comfortable for two people. The owner is quick to respond to inquiries and provided clear and thorough instructions before our stay. We would definitely consider staying here again!

This has been my favorite “stay” at BHI. Ideal spot for all things and a solid five star recommendation. I really enjoyed celebrating my birthday and having this amazing place to retreat and relax. Thank you!!

All the privacy you could imagine in a island paradise just minutes from the mainland. Wonderful shopping and restaurants with beautiful beaches. Baldhead Diamond had everything we needed for a week of relaxation with all of the comforts of a special hide away. Will definitely go again.

Lovely little house that was perfect for the two of us. Blissfully quiet but close to all of the Marina shops and restaurants. Beautiful view. Exploring the island on the golf cart was great fun. Already daydreaming about our next trip and we would definitely return to this same house.

This is a special place. Quite, great location, and completely comfortable. The water and coffee pods waiting for us were a nice touch. There were plenty of towels, paper towels and toilet paper. The beach chairs and beach towels were great. Even on some very warm days, the AC kept it nice and cool. Loved having coffee on the balcony in the morning. A deer walked down the street one morning and we were up before sunrise with coffee under the stars watching a storm in the distance on another. The stairs make the place unique and we were navigating them easily with a day. It has everything you could possibly need for a great vacation. Absolutely lovely place.

We went to BHI for the first time, to celebrate our anniversary. The Diamond was perfect—morning coffee on the balcony, evening wine and snacks on the screen porch. (kitchen was stocked with coffee and cream ready to go. thank you thank you!!!) The king bed was divine and loved having a bathroom both up- and downstairs. Golf cart was great for getting around and we really appreciated the beach chairs and towels for our trips to swim :) Can’t say enough good things about this little gem.

We really enjoyed the "tiny house" concept in such a convenient spot at the harbor. The hosts definitely made great use of every inch of space, and the home was not only charming, but clean and comfortable as well. We look forward to coming back! I would mention to anyone with mobility issues that they might find the stairs to the bedroom a challenge.

This is the second time that we have stayed at this cute cottage! It was just as we remembered! The check in is easy and the host is great! We love the location, close to the marina and restaurants and it has a beautiful view from the upstairs deck. I’m sure we will stay here again!
