Beautiful home in the Maritime Forest is My Wife & I's "Happy Place" Home away from home

Beautiful home, amazingly stocked, perfect location! In 10 years of renting it is the best! Hope to return next yeat

This was our fourth stay in this home. We LOVE everything about it…location, how wonderfully it is appointed and we are provided for, the wonderful atmosphere of the home, and great communication with the owners Jeff and Susan. It feels like you are at home the minute you enter this warm and cozy home and at the same time like you are a honored guest. There are so many comfortable niches to sink into…the screened porch, the wrap around porch, the upper deck, the upstairs alcove, or simply hanging out in the living room. Every need and then some is provided by the Sampsons…you cannot go wrong with a stay here! It is a vacation in and of itself!

We adore this home for our biannual visits. It truly feels like a second home! The house also has new body boards for kids; perfect for our three kids. Jeff and Susan are ideal owners who make the stay even better.

From the time you walk in this house, you just feel the love. It is so cozy, so well stocked with everything you need and such a special place to vacation with your family and your dogs, we loved our stay here immensely! Two golf carts, bikes, beach chairs a tent, outdoor shower..upstairs balcony off the master, it is conveniently located next to one of the best restaurants on the island called the jail house proximate to so many hiking trails through the forest and a bike ride or a golf cart ride to the beach in minutes. Until we have our own place on Bald Head , the Hiding Place will be our home away from home. So grateful for this experience, can’t wait to return. Great hosts, great location, 5 stars*****

We had the best week at BHI! This property was beautiful, great location and well equipped! Jeff was super responsive. We hope to stay here again! Thanks for a super relaxing and fun week!

The location is perfect - walking distance to the market and a restaurant. It was great to have access to two golf carts making it feasible to go all around Bald Head Island. Loved the bed linens throughout the house; cozy and comfy, and the beds have comfortable mattresses. The home is very clean and has all the amenities you should need during your stay! The owner of the home was very accessible prior to and during our visit, and responded quickly to my questions. I would definitely stay at this home again.

Jeff has literally thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable in this charming BHI house! From a well stocked kitchen with spices, quality pots/pans and knives to comfortable bedding and thoughtful labeling of the whole house. The location couldn't be beat, literally a 5 minute walk to the Maritime Market and charming Jailhouse Provisions with delicious foods and take-out coffee and smoothie bar as well as a short walk or golf cart ride to the beach. Any time we had questions the host was responsive, helpful and friendly. You can't go wrong with this one!

Great property….beat our expectations!

Superb response time and responses.

Jeff is great to work with. Very responsive and quick to follow up.

Home was convenient , well stocked and very clean . Jeff was easy to communicate with and responded immediately . Golf carts were great and my kids favorite part of trip . Good location to south beach . We would love to rerun

Our stay at the Hiding Place was absolutely amazing! The home is lovely and very well-suited to accommodate families. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The location is perfect -- hidden away in the forest and so close to the beach and everything on the island. We will definitely return next summer. Thank you for hosting us, Jeff!

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful vacation home. The house was exceptionally clean, extremely well-stocked and only a short distance to the island market. When I say this home was well-stocked I mean it. They thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. In addition, the host was very responsive in our email communication. Our family of four had a wonderful vacation/anniversary stay and would definitely recommend this home. If you suffer from dog allergies please make sure you bring your allergy medicine with you since this home does accept small dogs. I don't know if that changed after I booked the rental or if I just didn't notice it, nevertheless I am glad I packed some Allegra. Overall, we had a wonderful week on Bald Head Island.

I can not say enough good things about our stay. The house is beautiful, clean, and comforting. Our whole family felt we were home while staying here. This is our second time at the Hiding Place and it was just as wonderful as the last time. This house has everything and the owners are wonderful people who are a delight to work with. I have only good things to say about our stay. The place and the owners are true gems.

This is our second stay at The Hiding Place. The house is just wonderful. It’s mid island location makes it convenient to everything. It’s the most well appointed vacation home we’ve ever stayed in. You know you are at the beach, but it feels like home. It’s just so comfortable and cozy. You really feel like an invited guest in their home. We love the screened in porch. We spent half of our time at the house out on the porch. Jeff is a great host. He’s prompt to reply to any question or need. The Sampsons really care about their guests and their stay in their home. We love this place so much we booked a third trip for this upcoming fall towards the end of this trip.

There was a great restaurant right across the street from the house. It was easy to navigate the whole island right from this location with the golf carts readily available. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

This was our first visit to the island. We had a great time and the house was fantastic. Unfortunately the washer and dryer broke. And we had a raining monsoon day. So we had wet clothes hanging to dry.

The Sampsons have done a tremendous job of creating a comfortable home with every possible amenity considered for a family traveling to the beach. Comfortable and stylish decor, well appointed kitchen with every possible accessory, televisions with cable options in all bedrooms, family room, and upstairs den. Garage has 2 golf carts in great shape for traveling around the island, 3 bikes, and items to take to the beach. Lovely screened in porch area for lunches and dinners. The homes in the forest are truly the hidden gems of the island. They are secluded and private, with old oak tree canopies to keep them out of the sun. It feels like you're in a mountain hideaway, yet you can get in your cart and be a 45 second cart ride from the Atlantic beach. Hard to beat it. The owners have clearly wanted you to feel at home. Very communicative and willing to go above and beyond to make your stay as relaxing and stress free as possible. I would recommend anyone considering a trip to BHI to put this property on your list. Our family enjoyed our stay, and you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful and cozy home. Well stocked and well appointed. Owner was very responsive and accommodating. It was an easy walk to the market and just across the street from Midway coffee house and the new Jailhouse restaurant - which were both delicious for breakfast and lunch. We look forward to visiting again soon.

This island house is so well planned & cared for, wonderful stay. The house maximizes the location with sunny porches & a screened porch that surrounds with comfort of Maritine forest and birds! Bed linens are upscale & promise a good nights sleep. Kitchen is well stocked, gas grill is nice. Furniture is nicely maintained and very comfortable. Windows provide light and forest views. Location to South Beach is a pleasant short stroll & Island Market very convenient. The golf carts are excellent, the “cab” cart made rainy day drive easy. Our visit of 12 days ended too quickly, one could settle in at the Hiding Place! I highly recommend with confidence.

Fantastic place to stay! Was super clean and things couldn’t have been better. Many details that were thought out. Would definitely stay here again. Very convenient to market, coffee shop & beach. A+

The house is comfortable and welcoming. Good to be near the market for food shopping. Basic essentials (TP, soap) are supplied by the owner. We spent little time at the house due to family gathering at another home.

This was our first trip to the island. The house couldn’t have been better. We had everything that we needed. The house is extremely clean and very well stocked. We definitely want to come back and stay longer next time. The club membership is a great bonus. Thanks to the owners for being extremely responsive and helpful!
