Perfect Location for a Wedding
We stayed at the Fire Cottage as part of a Wedding Party on the Island. The location could not be beat for proximity to the Ferry terminal and all of the functions for the wedding. Really enjoyed the location and the uniqueness of the property. Having the golf cart included was superb.

UNDERWHELMED
Front door lock broken, front door blinds broken roaches in hall and kitchen cabinet, decorated with thrift store rejects and nothing matched (nautical comforter and shams with Peanuts linens, geometric pillows on sofa with striped throw rug, black/white towels in ORANGE bathroom), broken nightlight on far side of bed and shower handle, no toiletries, bar soap or hairdryer, no plates, one stale Kuerig coffee pod and rock hard creamer...for the outrageous price of $800+ for two nights! Broken windshield in dirty golf cart. The tv was okay and the white bathmat the only new and nice accessory.

Visit to Bald Head
We have been to Bald Head many times. Howe er this is the first time we werent allowed in the golf shop where I usually purchase a golf shirt for my.grandson. Bald Head island Club does not welcome non members inside the gates. It seems its a very closed community. And there are very few restaurants available for non members.

So thankful we had the opportunity to stay in such a unique place. Literally right the water in the marina. Might as well been a boat. The golf cart to explore the island was perfect. The host was very helpful and responsive. If you have the opportunity, I would recommend it.

Great and snafus handled so well
Such a cute little spot! There were some unavoidable glitches (compressor on ac went out and it’s an island so no repair available on the weekend) but the owner was so gracious and handled it so appropriately. It’s a 5 star for me, but would be over the top if could get ac ice cold and pitch black dark! There is some harbor and sunrise light - I loved it but I’m always up early.

Perfect Getaway Cottage
The Fire Cottage was a perfect weekend getaway to immerse yourself in all things Bald Head, and just relax overlooking the marina. In my 20+ years of renting through VRBO across the US & beyond, I've never had a host as accommodating and gracious as Jules. We'll be back & often!

We needed one night and a late check out and Julie couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating than she was. Always responded quickly to emails. Bald Head Island is the best and Fire Hut was just what we needed.

Jules was great! She made sure we had everything we needed. Even a golf cart, which is a must on BHI! The space isn’t big but it was perfect for a weekend getaway for two.

Perfect 2 day get away location
Loved everything about the house. So much nicer than a hotel room for a great price; especially for just a quick trip. Easy check in and close to the marina makes it super convenient.
