Fabulous beach house!
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!!

Wonderful Home. Wonderful Host!
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!

Wonderful anniversary trip
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!

Absolutely perfect!
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!

Beautiful, relaxing vacation
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.

perfect fall break getaway
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!

Great BHI home
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.

Great respite
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!

Home away from home
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!
