Reviewer Comments:
We had an interesting vacation this year. We rented the Hartshorn House based on bedrooms, additional alcove, location on the island and proximity to the beach. First, this is one of the most beautiful beach homes in which we've ever stayed. It's warm and welcoming and beautifully decorated. Our plans involved staying through Halloween week/weekend and taking in beach activities around the island. Unfortunately, one of our young twin grand-daughters became ill. We had to rush her off the island very late at night. The rest of us cut our trip short and we ended up leaving early. The rental folks were beyond empathetic and accommodating as we had to change our plans. They were just so kind to us. And, that meant more to us than just about anything else - other than our grand-daughter getting better! I would recommend the Hartshorn House for larger families. The house is beautiful and the alcove is awesome. The location is stunning and feels private. Mosey up a boardwalk and a small dune and there you are at the ocean. It's just a magical place to be! And, the rental folks are exceptional.

Everything was great - the house gave us plenty of space to spread out and the one issue we had with a golf cart was dealt with very quickly!!

Reviewer Comments:
We had 10 adults for a week at Hartshorn! We loved the house! Loved the location and especially loved the private walkway to the beach!!! The house was perfect for us! The only complaint we would have would be the beach chairs ... we wished we had brought our own. The ones at the house were more like picnic chairs and not reclining / low beach chairs. Otherwise, everything was wonderful... we lived on the screened in porch!! We hope to get back to Bald Head soon :). Thank you for the awesome house
