There were some glitches in the check-in process but the host was quick to respond and the problems were solved in a very timely manner. Having 2 golf carts was a real bonus, as the beach chairs could be loaded on one with plenty of room for 4 adults to get to the beach easily. I do wish I'd known to go ahead and make ferry and tram reservations at the time of booking. We waited until closer to the vacation time and found that all the ideal times were completely full. We'll keep this in mind for the next time!All in all, we had a really great time and came home with fun memories.

This was the perfect location for a getaway with my daughter! We love the area near the Conservancy which allows us to walk or drive to all of the places that we love! The communication from our host was top notch!

Very clean, cozy, and Dianne was so kind. Very quick to respond and super helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

We (2 adults/2 kids) were disappointed and uncomfortable in the main living area of this house. Cons: The couch was stained, dishes dirty and disheveled, dirty oven mitts and no dish towels. The main living area needs a deep clean and reset. The kitchen appliances were quirky, dated, and dingy. The same goes for the outdoor amenities: the "grill" was so small you'd have to squat on the ground to use it. The bikes & beach chairs were in such poor shape we didn't use them. We've stayed at BHI 10 times and this is the first time I felt we really overpaid for our stay. Pros: Location, flexibility at check-in (with the ferry running sporadically due to dredging schedules), and the owner was communicative throughout the stay. However, after our stay I requested a price adjustment for the condition of the main living area but did not receive a response.
