We had a fantastic stay at this property. Large enough for everyone to sleep comfortably but also perfect size for everyone to hang out and enjoy each others company! The kitchen and stocked cookware and ALL THE THINGS was so nice to have….and yes, having TWO six seater golf carts made it all a breeze! We very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property!

Amazing Stay at “This Must Be the Place”

Our family spent the week of July 4th at “This Must Be the Place” and it was exceptional! The house is beautifully decorated, with every amenity a renter could hope for! The screened porch lines the back of the house and overlooks the 6th hole of the golf course - it’s the perfect place to lounge for hours on end. We were thrilled with the grilling area and the many board games that kept our family entertained. The two six-seater golf carts were a real treat and ensured that everyone was included on our jaunts to the beach for the sunset. Lastly, the house is situated on the golf cart parade route - so we had a first row seat to the fun. We highly recommend “This Must Be the Place” - it is truly an amazing place!

Amazing Stay

We just had an amazing stay with 3 other couples at the beautiful property “This Must Be the Place”. iTrip NC made sure we had everything needed to fully relax and enjoy the beauty of the island. The home was fully equipped with kitchen items, bikes, kayaks, golf carts, beach chairs, games and more. Each of the 4 couples had a king bed with their own bathroom. The couch, beds and outdoor furniture were extremely comfortable. This is surely the place for you if you are looking to stay at a clean, updated, spacious, pet friendly house on a glorious island. It can’t be beat!

Bald Head 2025

We were so very blessed to be able to visit the island with all our kids this year. It was the first year we stayed on the main drag and we have stayed all over the island for the past 25 years. The house was new, spacious and had the best stocked kitchen we had ever seen. We had a huge pot for our crab boil so very yummy. Two golf carts, plenty of bikes and all kinds of stuff for the beach….almost forgot cornhole too. It had the best screened in porch overlooking the golf course and it was so clean. Looking forward to visiting the same house again.
Best sunsets in the harbor.

Great place to stay

This was our 3rd trip to BHI, and this home was perfect for our family of 4, but could have easily accommodated a larger party as well. The kitchen was adequately stocked with all the spices, condiments, utensils, & cookware we needed to cook every meal. Correspondence with the owners was easy & excellent...very responsive! We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing

We had an impromptu opportunity open up to go out of town and beach bound it was. Itrip and staff did an absolutely amazing job helping us coordinate our last minute blunder and it might have turned out to be the best stay ever. House is absolutely amazing (this must be the place), so clean, cozy, secluded but not, and plenty of places to lounge and just enjoy what God has made. Thrilled with the home and mainly Itrip. It’s like the owner took it personally to want to help us- hard to explain but not something you get from most rental companies

Perfect House for An Amazing trip

We had the best time at This Must Be The Place! Before arrival we received a detailed email with all the possible info you would need. Getting there was smooth and easy. The house was gorgeous! Fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. We cooked dinners for 12 and never lacked a large pot or a cooking utensil. The beds were so comfy it was like sleeping on clouds. The 2 fancy golf carts had enough seating for everyone. Our favorite part was sitting on the back porch watching the golfers and It’s so quiet. We loved this trip and will for sure be back!

This WAS the place

This is the most well equipped and convenient house we’ve rented in our ten plus trips to Bald Head. The house is beautiful, the owners pleasant and easy to work with. Our vacation was everything we hoped it would be—we wanted a house this time that was close to the Inn (where family has a time share). Being within walking distance to Old Baldy and the church was an added bonus, although the new golf carts (provided) made the rest of the island totally accessible.

Perfect house!

We just spent a week at " Must be the place" and it really was quite a place. The home is brand new and the perfect layout. There were two families of 4 and another couple staying in the home. The kids really enjoyed the bunk room. The adults appreciated king beds and master bathrooms in each room. The golf carts are also brand new and fast! The home is equipped with all the items you could ever need. Would definitely stay here again!

Great time at Bald Head Island

My wife and three kids and our Friends and their kid, had a wonderful time staying here over their spring break. The house was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. We explored the island and beaches with the golf carts onsite. Spent time visiting the restaurants and then we enjoyed resting outside on the deck. We were also able to spend an afternoon on the kayaks. The communication before the trip and during was always friendly and very helpful. I would rent through the team again in the future. Thanks for everything!

Wonderful family vacation house

We enjoyed our week at “This Must be the Place.” The home is centrally located down the road from the ferry and marina area, across from the creek access and a short golf cart ride to the market and BHI club. The home is beautifully designed and decorated and appears newly renovated. The owners have thought of every need with beach chairs, beach towels, a keurig, dog items and bed, condiments and spices and laundry needs. There is a relaxing screened in porch and ample room for a large family. We loved the two 6 person golf carts to ride around the island and get to one of the beach access points. No complaints! Would highly recommend.
