Location and house great. Plenty of space for family. Appreciate Dominic’s accessibility and response time. Small issue with golf cart, but think it was prior guests not properly charging.
Couldn’t use any of the bikes, but easily rented some. Would stay here again.

Photos are dated - upkeep of the house exterior living spaces is not in line with photos. The exterior requires cleaning to be able to utilize the spaces. Interior was nice and as expected. House has the basics but lacks some of the items that are normal to most houses in Bald Head. A refresh would be helpful.

The biggest issue was the golf carts. One was deemed unsafe to drive by public safety. Neither had updated stickers which were paid for but we had to go get. The homeowner did replace the unsafe cart but not before we had rented a cart and we had to go and get the cart which we were happy to do. The outdoors definitely needed some repairs but inside everything worked. The beds could use new mattresses. There was a spacious pantry which was nice. It was nice to have a screened in deck and another deck not screened in. Bikes were decent.

The only two things we didn't like were the tv's in the master bedroom didn't work and the internet was very slow and spotty. Overall loved the house, swings, porches and location!

The property was fine. The previous renters did not adhere to rules and the cleaning crew seemed to have missed several things. Those issues aside, I would recommend this property.

Great family vacation
We had an amazing week with our two children, their spouses and our 4 children ages 10 to 18. The house has a very nice living area and was in excellent condition. Beaches were very accessible and the store and shops were close to the house. Highly recommend this rental.

The perfect getaway house
This house was perfect for our girls weekend. A bunch of sleeping options, large eating space and living room space. The wrap around porch was perfect for for early morning coffee or sunset happy hour. The golf carts were great and the location was very central to everything. Would definitely recommend.

The weather was not desirable but the location and the house was perfect. Lots of amenities kept us busy and comfortable . Would be excellent for families or group of singles. The owner was very accommodating.

The Palms was a great place to stay. Close to Maritime Market. Beautiful and relaxing front porch swing and hammock. Rooms were comfortable. Giving a 4 star instead of 5 as one of the golf carts may need some maintenance.

Mother's Day Getaway
We stayed at the Palms with friends & family over Mother's Day weekend and had the most amazing time! Not wildly advertised, but the house came with a guest membership to the Shoals Club, which was absolutely perfect! I'd book this specific house again over & over again.

Perfect!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Palms - Domenic is an amazing communicator and provided so much assistance prior to our trip since we had never been. Everything you need in one place - and conveniently located to everything! We will definitely rent from Domenic again!

Bald Head Island was the perfect place for my out of state family and my husband and me to have amazing family time. Due to Covid, the Island is much more crowded than usual during the fall season, yet The Palms offered us great seclusion. We felt safe and shopped at the market during Senior Hours and got takeout a few times but were able to be very safe and by ourselves the rest of the time. The ONLY issue we had was that although they require masks for all folks riding the ferry and all folks working at the Marinas where you catch the ferries, the baggage handlers were NOT wearing masks and they were super talkative and even though they are outside--this made us very uncomfortable. They also crammed us into a tram with another family when we arrived at the Island---and even though that family wore masks, we did not like being in such close proximity. The good thing about The Palms property is the owner was super responsive---every single question I had was answered almost immediately and he seemed super pleasant. The house is a well built house with an amazing layout that allowed for lots of spaces for folks to find a private nook to read etc. We enjoyed the front porch and the screened in porch a lot and the master bedroom was super quiet and private. They have the most comfortable couch we have ever used! Our whole family could sit and watch TV! Unfortunately at the end of the season The Palms was desperately in need of some TLC. It needs some serious detail attention. The outside areas desperately need power washing and the kitchen was a disaster---organizationally speaking. It was obvious a cleaning crew had been coming in and hitting the high spots but the house needs a DEEP cleaning. There was dust and filth in the corners and under the beds and on corner tables and the screened in porch was filthy. We spent several hours cleaning that area to make it ready to eat out there. I know the owner probably would have responded and sent some cleaning folks over if I had told him, but we simply did not feel safe having cleaning folks come in while we were there as a few of us are high risk so we took care of it ourselves. Many folks would not even have noticed---lol---but I guess we are just particular. Even so---we had a great time and I would probably stay at The Palms again! I would just insist on EXTRA cleaning and maybe go earlier in the season when hopefully things would be a bit fresher.

BHI Perfection
We come to Bald Head quite often and this home exceeded our expectations. The floor plan is incredibly conducive to having privacy with a downstairs bathroom and bedroom that can be completely closed off. The screened porch with large dining table is a complete dream with fun bulb lights. This house is quiet, peaceful perfection and a comfy couch too! Thanks for an awesome stay.

Beach with family
We had a great time at this property, steps away from the beautiful beach. Lots of grills, beach toys, room for everyone to hang out. Nice sheets and pillows too (which is important to me, haha) The kitchen was well-equipped too

Very Responsive Host - Beautiful Home
We arrived on a very busy turn day. A few things weren’t as expected but the host was incredibly helpful in getting everything corrected. The home is so inviting and comfortable. The location can’t be beat. We plan to visit again next year! Thank you for being so responsive and helpful, Domenic!

Wonderful stay July
The Palms was well equipped, fantastic location and perfect for our family of 6. We enjoyed the screened in porch, front swing and hammock and the layout was great for family time and privacy. Great communication from the owner and very glad we stayed here. We will be back!

Unique beach/maritime forest experience!
This house centrally located and tucked into the maritime forest is a one-of-a-kind way to experience the beach. When you take a break from the heat of the beach, you retreat to the shade of the maritime forest that surrounds this beautiful property. The house provides everything you need to enjoy the many experiences and adventures that BHI has to offer (2 golf carts, bikes, a canoe, and plenty of beach toys). Inside, there is a ton of room including comfortable bedrooms, a balcony of the MBR, and kitchen that easily serves a family.

Great family vacation house!
My sister and I have been vacationing on BHI with our families for 10 years and we have stayed all over the island. This home was perfect for us and we had another memorable vacation! We hope to stay at The Palms again next year!

Great house in great location
I have always rented with an ocean view. Every house I've been to at BHI has been lovely. I really loved the location and peacefulness of this one. In fact my preference is to now stay in this area versus the beach. The location is close to everything. The kids loved the freedom of getting on their bikes and riding places. I absolutely loved the porch options. The houses I've stayed in previously had porches but they were too sunny or buggy to enjoy for long. This house had the perfect porches. I spent each morning on them reading my book in peace.
We had a flat tire on a golf cart and the owner was immediately accessible and fixed the issue.
So happy we chose this house.

Perfect island location
Very nice house on Bald Head Island, centrally located between the Harbor, the market, and the beaches. Very comfortable and well equipped, great porch for hanging out. Owner was very responsive, and check in could not be easier. House includes two golf carts, which are a necessity on Bald Head.
