Great stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We cooked several meals and found the house to have all the necessary items for doing so. The beach chairs were in excellent condition as were the porch chairs and tables. The golf carts were in excellent condition and we appreciated the rain cover on the one evening we had rain! We would highly recommend this property.

Sand and sanctuary
We absolutely loved our stay. The management is attentive, but not overbearing. The home is exactly as beautiful and peaceful as advertising. The kitchen and bedrooms are cozy and well-appointed. And the beach, well, the beach is the best part. We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in a comfortable and gorgeous home.

Fantastic House and Location
Beautiful house right on the beach, exactly as advertised, stocked with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful trip. Super kitchen, comfy beds, bathrooms that could handle multiple showers at the same time without any pressure or heat issues. Plenty of beach towels and chairs. In fairness to future guests, there is a brand new house being built directly behind this one, so there is some weekday construction noise.

Magical getaway
We stayed at About the View for a family friend's wedding, and the best way we all described our stay was "magical." About the View was a wonderful house right on the beach with everything we needed. The iTrip team was beyond helpful with all of our pre-trip planning, and left us a nice little welcome package. Morning beach walks right out our door, beautiful sunsets, fun golf cart adventure rides around the island, great location! The house was clean and well appointed with all we needed for our 5 day stay. And a beautiful wedding, the icing on the cake. Would definitely go back again!

Amazing
Wonderful vacation and ITrips made everything super easy. Things of note: beautiful home, can tell it’s a little older, but very well maintained. Amazing A/C and amazing water pressure for showers. TVs in every room and cute little loft sitting/TV area for the kids. You can’t see the ocean from the porch as the dunes block the majority of the view, but we noticed that it’s pretty common for the houses close to the ocean. Consider bringing your own pillows if you’re picky about that sort of thing, but we made them work for us. Madison and team with iTrips was wonderful and stayed in contact with us before and during the trip. They even texted to let us know that we could check in early which was such an added bonus. Would definitely stay here again and looking forward to booking another vacation through iTrips.

Great location and communication
Well kept property, great communication before and during stay, amazing location! Just one thing to be aware of, the direct beach access is a steep climb over the dune. Elderly or those with compromised mobility will not make it over. But there is a public access with stairs next door. Everyone in our group did just fine and we loved the house!

Great week!
It was so nice to be able to walk right out on the beach. The dunes are actually too high to see the ocean from the porch however the breezes and easy access to the beach made up for that. There were no bicycles except one which had a flat tire. We would have loved to bike, although the bike rentals are great. We had a c problems and the owner was very prompt in fixing it. Bathrooms are rather small. Overall we had a great week. The two golf carts were in great shape and fast!!

Late summer bliss
Great time at About a View. Location was perfect and we enjoyed having private and convenient beach access. There was even a turtle hatching just steps from the backdoor while we were there! We will definitely be coming back. Management was attentive to our stay and esured that everything was perfect.

Awesome Ocean Front Experience
We have been coming to BHI for some time, but had always stayed in the maritime forest. This was our first stay in a beach front home, and About the View was a wonderful experience. The house was the perfect size for our family of four plus Grandma. The house was in great shape, neat as a pin, and the kitchen was well appointed. This was great, because we ate at home the entire time due to shortened hours, and limited availability of dining on the island. We were a little worried about having blocked views due to the dunes, but it was really nice. The sunsets were gorgeous, and you could hear the ocean from the deck. The beach access was super convenient and made it incredibly easy to go back and forth to the house for lunch or shelling. Our only issues were that construction was taking place across the street, and it woke us up most days by 7am. We also had 1-2 days with pretty rough biting flies and swarms of dragonflies on the beach which made it tough to enjoy. Overall we are grateful for a wonderful week in this well appointed home and would love to stay again!

Great vacation spot!
We had a lovely stay at ‘About the View’. House was very clean, great kitchen and comfy beds. Location is right on the beach which we loved. You can’t see the ocean from the patio rocking chairs as the dunes have grown but the breeze and sunsets outside are lovely. Property manager was great to communicate with. Would recommend and are looking forward to returning next summer.

so nice
The property was amazingly clean and well appointed with every conceivable household item required. The only complaint was from my seven year old "daddy, this is the slowest golf cart on the whole island" Ha! Would highly recommend this property to others, great views, ease of access to everything and all the tv's worked.
