My family stayed for a brief weekend at 'The Palms', and the only thing about our trip was that we had to leave! I beatiful place with all the conveniences one would ever need, great kitchen with all the needed items, and nice location near the grocery store and nature preserve.
Owner's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it, and come back anytime!

Great home on BHI

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 18, 2012
  • Stayed: Jun 2012
We just came back from a stay at The Palms and had a great stay for 3 small families (8 people total). The home was very well equipped with everything one would need for cooking, entertaining children, etc. was there as described. We had dinner every night on the screened in porch under the fan watching the wildlife and natural setting. The kids played the Wii during rest time from the beach or when the occassional shower happened. We've stayed in several other homes on the island and none were as well maintained as The Palms. The owners and their on island support were always responsive to our requests and we would gladly rent from them again.

Great House for the Family

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 30, 2012
  • Stayed: Apr 2012
We just got back from Bald Head and had the most wonderful time. This house is beautiful inside and out. We used this house to fullfill a Bucket List wish for my Father-n-law and his wish came true. Our family included 6 adults and 5 children and the houses size and layout was great for our family. The house was spotless, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The hammock and rocking chairs on the front porch were enjoyed by the old and young. A small detail that you may not know is the" Ring Master" game located on the side porch that was a challenge to all before departing. The use of 2 golf carts and bikes allowed all of us the opportunity to explore the island. We enjoyed the use of the Shoals club getting to use the pool and the beach. We were fortunate enough to play golf at the Island Club which is beautiful and full of wildlife. The house is located close to the "Old Baldy" Lighthouse, Chapel, Post Office, Market Store which we visited each of those. The owners of this house are wonderful to work with and made our stay easy and effortless. We have rented on VRBO for the last 3 years and the best experience thus far. We hope to come back again.
