by User

Watch Hill is in a perfect location close to several beach accesses on South and East beach. The reverse floor plan gives truly amazing panoramic ocean views and there are multiple decks from which to enjoy them. Overall the house is appointed very well and has a nice feel and the spaces work well for a large group.

We did have some issues during our stay (beach towels, appliance issue and golfcart battery) but these thing happen and the office was always very responsive and corrected things. The issue of the driveway needs to be resolved with gravel or paving but even after that there will be a bit of a hike to the house.

We used a golf cart to get our luggage and provisions up to the house. Also, as noted by others, the fridge is not huge so if you are a large group plan to put drinks in a cooler on the porch. Would stay here again.

Beautiful sunrises and sunsets beautiful at Watch Hill

Overall, we had a great stay. Watch Hill is in a great location, close to beach access, great views from the house, great interior spaces for a large group holiday. The vacation rental staff were very responsive addressing several issues which arose during our stay. The house was mostly clean when we arrived, except for a tub of trash and unfinished laundry in the laundry room when we arrived. Also, the water was turned off when we arrived. We do think the property would benefit from some maintenance, however. For instance, when we tried to open the double-hung window in one of the bedrooms, the top half of the window crashed down to the sill. A lamp in one of the bedrooms was dead-replacing the light bulb didn’t help.the shower head in one of the bathrooms only drips. There was no trash pan in the house. The bedroom doors to the deck in one room don’t open, and in the other bedroom,they had to be forced. It was obvious the windows had not been washed recently- they need a good cleaning. The batteries in one golf cart could no longer hold a charge and had to be replaced during our stay. These are small things, but show that the property could use some TLC and a good working over by a handy person, which would make Watch Hill really shine.

Nice spacious home. We enjoyed our weekend. House needed some updating - for price we were disappointed in some things. Refrigerator was too small to fit food for a long weekend, and the stove burners were hard to use. Water pressure was extremely low and water filter did not work. Many doors were very hard to open.

Amazing View! But no ice and a driveway from ****.

Cons- the DRIVEWAY! We had to endure this every golf cart ride, beach outing, bike ride and walk. It was bad. The ruts are so big you will chip your teeth and the gravel. And its a long uphill climb from the road. The fridge is small and the ice maker broken. The four ice trays wouldn't freeze so we had to buy bags of ice. Frozen food from my cooler thawed. They serviced it while we were there but it didn't help. You NEED ice especially at the beach. No beach towels which were listed as included and the 4 beach chairs were on their last legs. No umbrella or bikes that was it. Not the normally included things we are used to with BHI rentals. We have been coming here for 25 years and are former owner/renters so we know its hard to upkeep a house but... Pros- the view, the updated bathrooms and the kitchen was well appointed. Would've have loved a decent non stick for eggs and more cleaning supplies.

Thank you for your comments! I apologize the driveway is tricky, we have been trying for months to get gravel. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, it's been a struggle. The ice maker has been repaired and instructions in place. We will inform the owners about the beach chairs, extra amenities like noted above are not mandatory for owners to provide. Beach towels should have been in Watch Hill for your use, we are always happy and ready to deliver anything missing. We hope to see you back on the island in the future and will reconsider Watch Hill! Thank you!

Lovely home on the hill

Overall Comment

We so enjoyed our stay at Watch Hill. The view is amazing and the home is beautifully furnished with lots of lovely details including comfortable beds. Lots of light and lovely places to sit and so close to the beach. There are lots of stairs which can be a challenge for arrivals and departures with luggage. And a few details that need some attention. When we saw that there is actually an elevator, we were so relieved until we learned it is out of service with no plans by the owner to fix it. It's a shame as we were traveling with an individual with special needs and that would have been so helpful. Also there were some broken blinds and door locks which were a little inconvenient. The management company went above and beyond to help us out in many ways and were always friendly. Still thinking about that lovely vacation though....love Watch Hill.

We had a great time and loved the layout of the house and the views. The only real issue is getting your luggage etc up that big hill and then getting up the stairs. And getting the cooler and other kitchen stuff up the stairs. It would be nice to have access to the elevator to take up the heavy items...we are older and it was a challenge.

We have long loved Bald Head, but the extensive development along with the COVID precautions made our recent visit less than satisfactory. To pay to be a member of a club we could all but use, let alone wait for 2 1/2 hours for a ferry was more than disappointing. The prices at the market were also beyond reasonable.

Thank you for your comments! We apologize the club and market did not meet your expectations, please feel free to contact them directly to voice your concerns. Due to the ferry restrictions of only half capacity, it has been difficult to transport passengers to a fully booked island, we are very sorry you had to wait. We hope to see you back on the island soon.
