Beautiful Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was a perfect long weekend get-away for my husband and myself. The check in process was simple. The place was very nice. The golf cart and the rain covers made it really nice for the cool breeze.

Relaxing Getaway
We stayed at "Air" for two nights during the holiday season as a quick relaxing getaway. The location was perfect - close to the ferry and to Jules restaurant. Many eateries were closed for the season, but there were enough places open for our short stay. The island was quiet and the beach was nearly deserted, which was exactly what we hoped. "Air" was clean and comfy - had a small kitchenette with a coffee maker, toaster, fridge to be able to eat a quick bite in the morning before heading out. The space is small but very well-used and laid out. We will definitely be back to Bald Head for a longer stay! Air was a great choice for our needs.

Lovely location
The size and location was as expected. Just right for 2 people who don’t want to cook dinners. A little disappointing as we got there and wanted to open a bottle of wine and there wasn’t a wine opener. Some of the lights needed new light bulbs and the towels/bath mat could use refreshing. Literally there wasn’t light in the bathroom. Loved the view over looking the harbor and being downtown. I will say the golf cart was the bomb and had great zip. Enjoyed the stay overall.

Perfect Spot!
We have vacationed on BHI for 20+ years and this was a perfect spot! We had thoughts the marina may be "too noisy", but we found it just as peaceful as other locations on the island. The space was clean and fresh. The bed was comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised by what was provided. We actually walked in and thought someone was still staying there - there were 2 beach chairs and a Shibumi Shade in the foyer that are provided with the house. The kitchenette was nicely stocked. If you are like us and like to keep the sand off the floor, there is even a small vacuum under the bed and a broom in the foyer! The golf cart is well maintained. The only thing I would do differently is have the TV (which we never used) not block the marina view windows. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
