My family of four spent a week at Sandcastle by the Sea. The house was lovely and in a great location. It is centrally located on the island and just a short golf cart ride to the market, shops and several restaurants. We could easily walk to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked. There are lovely views from every room in the house. The decor is current and beautiful. Kim, the host, was super responsive and made the entire rental process easy. We will be back!!

Better than advertised! My family and I had a great time. Kim gave clear, concise instructions and check in and check out were easy peasy. The location is 10/10 and can’t wait to go back!

We absolutely love BHI. Sand Castle was the perfect location for our family over Thanksgiving. Beautiful beach steps from our porch!!!

Great location of this house on this magical island

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean, spacious and decorated tastefully. The beach a short walk out the front door. The host, Kim, was quick to respond and very helpful in every way. When we asked, a day before our arrival, if there was a blender at the house, she replied that the previous occupants had broken it, but that she would have a new one sent asap. It arrived on our first morning in the house. Very highly recommended!

Great location, fastest golf cart on the island 😎, all that one would need to enjoy a great beach location with a full kitchen, beach toys and clean house! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home!

We have been to BHI many times with a big group of family, but my wife and I decided to just get away for 5 days to celebrate our anniversary. There aren’t a lot of rental properties at BHI for just 2 people, but this house was perfect for the 2 of us (and we didn’t even use the 2 upstairs bedrooms). Everything was very clean and well maintained. Fast golf cart. We got lots of use out of the bikes, beach chairs, and Shibumi. Kim was very responsive when we couldn’t figure out how to operate the dishwasher. We would happily stay here again!

Just an all around wonderful experience! The place is great and communication with the owner was second to none. Thank you!

The kitchen is well equipped and the appliances are very nice! Great location in the island

This home was perfect! Super clean, amazing location, classically and beautifully decorated. We packed light for the ferry ride, but the home had everything we needed after a trip to the Maritime Market to get some groceries. This home is well cared for and I can tell well loved. Thank you for the great stay!

This was our second year staying at the Sandcastle! We adore this place! It is perfect for our family, and we are looking forward to staying again!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. House was perfect. Fully stocked kitchen, clean, perfect location to the beach. We would definitely stay there again.

My husband and I, our two small kids and my dad all enjoyed our week staying at Sandcastle by the Sea. The house was spotless and provided the perfect place to relax and enjoy each others company. Our kids loves all of the toys and art supplies, not to mention zipping around on the golf cart. The location to the beach could not have been more ideal, just a few steps away on a fairly new walkway. We also appreciated the nicely appointed appliances, i.e. the coffee maker and washer/dryer…….both a must have with small kids 😀. We will definitely be coming back to Bald Head Island and hopefully Sandcastle by the Sea.

We just returned from a wonderful visit to BHI. This home is in a great location, well stocked with all the beach amenities, and overall comfortable and inviting. Our family of four felt right at home in this charming beach cottage. Kim was very responsive and helpful!

We rented this property over Thanksgiving to accommodate family overflow. It is a great location just steps from the beach. It is beautifully decorated and has a well stocked kitchen for cooking. The large porch was lovely.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the house during a long weekend for fall break - it was the perfect size for our family and very comfortable, and it's in a great location on the island. Everything we needed was there, and it's a very short, easy walk to the beach. All this winter, I'm going to remember sitting on the porch with coffee early in the morning, the only sound being waves lazily breaking on the shore just over the dunes - what a way to start the day!

The house was a great location and fit our family perfectly well. There was a great amount of kids gear for our infant and toys for our 4 year old too. The owner was very responsive and provided any info we requested. Highly recommend!

We had the best week at Sandcastle by the Sea. The kids were obsessed with beach toys, kites, and board games! The golf cart was the fastest on the island and bikes were like brand new. Such a lovely vacation with the beach just steps away!

What a great rental property! Everything was so clean, the kitchen was well appointed, the beds were comfortable, and the access to the beach was amazing! We really enjoyed walking on the beach every single night. The porch was relaxing and the golf cart was the fastest on the island. The garage was filled with bikes, shibumi shades, chairs and beach toys. Thank you Kim for such a great stay! Would rent here again.

This is a lovely beach cottage that fit our family of four perfectly. We enjoyed relaxing and a lot of beach time as a family. The Sandcastle was appointed with everything our family needed for the week and Kim was responsive and easy to communicate with if we needed anything. We greatly appreciated the golf cart, bikes, and boogey boards in the garage! We hope to return to the Sandcastle again and would recommend it for a smaller family who loves the beach!

House was perfect for our family! Kim responded quickly when we any questions and the location is perfect! Loved having the walkway straight to the beach! And, the golf cart is the fastest on the island!

This is our second stay at Flora’s Bluff and it was all that we’d want for a vacation home. The owner is very helpful and thorough. It’s the little things that make a rental house a vacation home. This is it! Seriously, the little things like a ham packed “game cabinet” that my kids are always excited to open and to play with the activities. The garage is loaded with all types of beach toys. The super fast golf cart makes last minute trips to the market easier. We love this home!

The house was exactly as listed. Very clean and neat. It had everything we needed, grill, bicycles, beach chairs. We were on island for a wedding. Three other families stayed in Flora’s Bluff. It was great to be close together.

Sandcastle was wonderful - beautiful location close to the Market, BHI Club and a prsitine beach. A new, comfortable golf cart made getting around easy.

Location was fantastic. The home was very comfortable and well maintained.

We came down from New England and met friends from Raleigh Durham. We’ve been to Bald Head a few times before. The house was very comfortable and in very good condition. Kim was very responsive.

Sandcastle is the perfect place to stay in BHI. Our family has a great long weekend. Location and property can’t be beat for the price!

Great time and the house was just right for my husband and I. Thank you Kim!

Property was well maintained with upgraded appliances and options. Was very close to the beach with a shared pathway. I would recommend staying here.

Great home & great location! Everything was as described. The host was very clear with communication and their availability to assist. I would definitely recommend to friends to use this home.

The house was beautiful and location was perfect, so close to the beach. The renovated kitchen and baths were a nice bonus. Checkin was easy and seamless. Would definitely stay here again!

We visit BHI every year, and this house is by far our favorite. We have already re-booked for next summer. House was very clean with a welcome gift when we arrived (thanks Kim!). Well-stocked with everything you’d need to get settled. Golf cart looks brand new and runs great (it’s fast like other reviews have said!), and the beach items in the garage were like new and fantastic. Kim was very responsive to a couple questions we had and also sent some intro information before we checked in. House was beautifully decorated and had a great set up for our family. Upstairs rooms have a wonderful ocean view. Kim has really thought of everything to make this house a renter’s paradise. Location is an easy drive up to the market and the marina but also on the beautiful Shoals part of the island. Easy walk out to the beach. Loved it and can’t wait to return.
