Perfect for Couple's Getaway!

We really enjoyed Hugh's property. The sunrise marsh view from the loft and porch was the highlight for sure! From the towel of the golf cart to the well appointed kitchen and living spaces, they really had everything we needed to enjoy a quick get away. This was our first overnight trip to Bald Head but definitely not the last!

Beautiful home!

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!

Couples Stay

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..

Excellent Location

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.

Charming and cozy

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.

Magical Spot

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

Shortcomings

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.

Perfect spot in the Harbor

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!

Wonderful retreat

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.

We loved our stay!

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. :)
