What a great home at Bald Head Island! It had everything we needed in the kitchen and living area and was beautifully decorated! So spacious!

Wonderful stay!
5/5 stars
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at A Golden Retreat. We had everything we needed in the condo to enjoy our trip. Our favorite part was the screened in porch and views of the marsh. Only complaint was the noise from construction going on at the complex, but that wasn't in anyone's control. We would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, affordable place to stay on Bald Head. We hope to be back! Thank you!!

A Golden Retreat
5/5 stars
We had a wonderful time at A Golden Retreat. The condo is beautifully decorated, the kitchen well stocked and everything was clean & comfortable. The location of Timbercreek is close to all BHI has to offer and yet while there it felt like we had the island to ourselves. We loved just hanging out on the screened-in-porch in the early mornings and evenings experiencing the ever-changing nature of the marsh. The team from iTrip was amazing. Extremely responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay.
- Matt and Donna

Matt and Donna, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the convenient location as well as the cleanliness and comfortability of the condo. We agree that the porch is an amazing addition to the home.

Great Trip to BHI!
5/5 stars
Even with a few days of concern due to Hurricane Ian, our trip to BHI was wonderful again this year! A Golden Retreat was a perfect spot to enjoy kayaking in the marsh and just relaxing! When the weather got a little rough on Thursday and Friday, the condo was like being in a tree house with a front row view of the changes to the marsh! We felt very safe and had a spectacular view!
- Belinda
Nice condo. Well managed.
5/5 stars
We had a very good experience with our rental of A Golden Retreat. The condo is nicely furnished, well maintained, and clean. The kitchen had nice quality appliances and cookware and was stocked with everything we needed to prepare and serve meals. Despite being a pet friendly unit, there were no pet smells or hair so don't hesitate to rent it if you are not a pet person. The management company was responsive and easy to communicate with. I have no complaints about our experience at A Golden Retreat and would not hesitate to stay there again.
- Christine

Christine, thank you for leaving us your feedback of your stay at A Golden Retreat. We are thrilled that the condo was both clean and well equipped for your visit.

Beautiful rental with gorgeous views of the creek. Fully equipped kitchen. Clean and nicely decorated. Loved having two golf carts and two kayaks for our family. Having beach chairs and beach towels was also a wonderful bonus! Being pet friendly was also a plus. Our dog had a blast and thanks you for providing for her comfort as well! Good and timely communication from iTrip representatives made check in and check out a breeze. We would totally rent this property again!

We enjoyed the Golden retreat. The loft was great for kids with the spiral staircase and the location on the island was great. The condo was well stocked and had almost everything you could need during your stay. It was especially nice to have the kayaks.

Wonderful stay at A Golden Retreat!
5/5 stars
Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at A Golden Retreat! It was clean, comfortable, and the six-person golf cart was fast and fun. There is a great view from the screened porch, although the marsh was somewhat obscured by trees. There are two kayaks you can haul over to the dock, but we ended up renting three 2-person kayaks from the surf shop so we could all go out together. The saltwater pool was amazing and just a short 3-minute walk away. We had it to ourselves most afternoons! The kids loved sleeping in the loft. There are TV’s in 3 rooms, including the loft, which was nice for the kids. Kitchen is a little tight but new and well-stocked. We cooked at home most nights but really enjoyed the pizza at Maritime Market and our two meals at Jailhouse (best wings anywhere). We’ve stayed at the Villas near the beach before but would highly recommend A Golden Retreat as an alternative. You can get to any beach quickly and it’s one of the few places on the island with a pool! iTrip was easy to work with and the communication was excellent.

We are so glad to hear that you and the whole family enjoyed your stay, Karen! Thank you for leaving us a great review.

Trip of a Lifetime
5/5 stars
I must say that out of all the trips I have done through a booking agent, this property was most like how it was portrayed online. No surprises. Perfect EVERYTHING!!! Every room in this condo was beautiful and spotless. Most places I have been have had a rough edge somewhere. This condo did not. It was exceedingly clean. The linens and furniture were lovely. We had the best time!!!! This was my first time on Bald Head Island and it will absolutely not be my last. The beaches were not crowded, even on a holiday weekend. If you wanted a spot with NO other people on the beach, you only had to walk a short distance and you were totally alone. HEAVEN! I was so sad that our stay was only 5 nights. I plan to return to BHI and this condo. Oh….also, the rental company was exceedingly attentive. The only problems we had were the result of user error. (Oops, sorry!) The people who I dealt with were patient and helpful. These interactions were through text, email and phone. Every interaction was productive and friendly.

Janet, thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that your stay at A Golden Retreat was everything that you hoped it would be.

Golden Retreat was the perfect vacation home for our needs. The location on the marsh was beautiful and we enjoyed the kayaks. The home was well appointed. We appreciated the extra touches; i.e., the spices in the kitchen, laundry detergent, dish soap, makeup mirror, hair dryer, etc. It is exceptionally clean and comfortable. I would recommend a table covering for the picnic table on the porch. The iTrip team was very responsive. We definitely be returning!

Golden Retreat
5/5 stars
Our stay at A Golden Retreat was like being in a treehouse with a lovely marsh view from the screen porch -- a perfect place for a cup of coffee or dinner at the picnic table. The place is beautifully furnished and the whites and blues give off a beachy feel. Clean and comfortable. We enjoyed using the kayaks to explore the marsh in the evening and appreciated this extra perk since renting kayaks can get expensive. Zippy golf-cart (we've had some slow ones in the past, but this one was well-maintained) for outings to the beach and around the island. Great communication from iTrip leading up to and throughout our stay. Thanks!

we stayed here over New Year with another family and we all had a wonderful time. We have young kids so even when we were in the house for nap times etc it was pleasant and beautiful to sit and look out onto the marsh and watch the birds. We used the kayaks, the golf carts were in great shape and we even had a flat tire that was fixed within hours. Definitely recommend for family groups especially. We will definitely come back!

Had a great time at this updated condo ! It was very clean, neat, and modern. Loved the kitchen ! Loved the blue coastal colors throughout. The location was perfect- loved staying on the marsh. Whole different vibe than staying ocean front. We were close to the market. The 6 person golf cart must be new, it was in great condition. Really appreciated the beach chairs , beach towels and grill. Left a few crab pods for someone else to enjoy ! Master bed was very very comfy and the view was great ! Would definitely stay here again :)

Great spot on BHI!
5/5 stars
Our family of 5 loved staying at “a Golden Retreat” for 2 weeks in August. The space is clean and well decorated, and very comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with great knives, pots & pans and plenty of plates, cups etc, and all new appliances. The furniture is comfortable and clean, nice spot for family dinners (loved the wallpaper and print!) and great TV set up for family movies, etc. We brought some board games but ended up playing the games that were here (beat the parents - hilarious!). I loved the crisp clean white walls and ceiling and well-planned lighting (on dimmers:) throughout. I’ve never stayed in a rental with such great lighting. Oh and the view - beautiful! My boys loved crabbing off the docks, and we were close to everything. And the golf carts are great - love having a 6-seater and a second cart. Our family of 5 (and 1 goldendoodle) really loved staying here and we look forward to returning again soon. We also had a great experience with iTrip - they provided excellent communication leading up to our stay and were so nice and responsive throughout the time we were there. Always just a text message away, quick response time and really professional and friendly. The only negative was having to leave. Thanks so much for sharing your great condo!

We have been coming to Bald Head Island for our family vacation for 10 years. Our experience with ITrip and their staff this year made it the best trip yet. Impeccable customer service, the staff was the most accommodating and friendly group we have ever dealt with. They meant every need we had with fast and friendly service. The accommodations and rental were incredible. Shout out to Madison who made sure our every request and need were met. Highly recommend ITrip staff to anyone looking for a relaxing and reassuring trip to the island. The staff truly made us feel like family. We will never use another service!

We came to A Golden Retreat with 2 families from Wilmington (4 adults, 4 kids - ages 7-11). It was a fabulous place to stay. The kitchen was the most well stocked of any rental that I have ever seen.

Wonderful week at Golden Retreat
5/5 stars
We just spent a week at Bald Head Island and it was a wonderful vacation. The Golden Retreat unit in the Timbercreek community is a great location on the island. Beautiful views of the marsh from the screen porch. Everything was perfect for our needs. We had four adults and a dog and it was so comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked, golf carts worked perfectly every time, there was a grill, it had everything we needed for a relaxing week. Also used the community pool one day that is a very short walk from the unit. We loved our time on BHI and will definitely be back.

We love BHI and the Golden Retreat on the creek did not disappoint! The sunrise was amazing from the porch and the living room. The kitchen was so well appointed for cooking our meals. The decor is beautiful and everything was so clean. It felt like home! Our boys loved fishing and kayaking right in the backyard and our dog loved sitting on the pier watching the birds. We would definitely stay at the Golden Retreat again!

Perfect Christmas Week!
5/5 stars
Our stay at 9A Timbercreek on Bald Head could not have been better. As long-time visitors and former property owners on the island, this was our first visit back in several years. The island was beautiful - though quite chilly on those cart rides! - and the condo was perfect for us. The bedrooms were all tastefully appointed, and the main ‘great room’ furnished lovingly and bright, with a great view to the marsh. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with everything we needed to make most of our meals, as most F&B venues on the island were closed. We would love to rent again in the summer!

Incredible Thanksgiving Getaway
5/5 stars
Golden Retreat was the perfect location to enjoy our stay on Bald Head Island for Thanksgiving week! The condo was beautifully appointed, the kitchen fully stocked with everything needed for quick bites and a full Thanksgiving dinner, the loft offered a unique space for our girls to relax and the porch offered incredible views of the marsh. We appreciated the use of the beach towels, chairs, and kayaks as we explored the marsh at low tide each day. We enjoyed our time at Golden Retreat and on Bald Head Island so much that we extended our stay and are already looking at our calendars with the hope of returning to this beautiful spot!

Great week at Bald Head
5/5 stars
We had it all: a beautiful place to stay with a well stocked kitchen, the marsh, swimming pool and short golf cart ride to beach and market! We kayaked, fished and went crabbing, too. We ended our days on the porch for dinner and games, too. We had a great week, thank you!

Golden Retreat
5/5 stars
Itrip is a wonderful booking system. They were very attentive and added a personal touch that you don't get from most rental agencies. When we had a question, they were always quick to respond. The property itself was great. The renovations were beautiful. Only complaint is that the back seat is rotted on the 4 passenger cart.
- Traci

Hello, Traci! Thank you for your 5 star review of A Golden Retreat. We are happy you thought the home was great with beautiful renovations.

Fabulous Stay on BHI
5/5 stars
A Golden Retreat is a fabulous condo with a beautiful view. We have two teenagers and everyone was happy. Between marsh fishing, the kayaks, pool and beach we stayed busy. The kitchen had all we needed, the golf carts were in great shape and so was the grill. This isn’t our first stay on BHI or in Timbercreek and this is now one of our favorite BHI stays.
- Allison

Hello, Allison! Wow, it sounds like you and your family had a busy, fun-filled time at A Golden Retreat. We are so happy you had a wonderful stay with everything you needed and would even call this your new favorite stay on Bald Head Island. We would love to have you back again any time. Thanks for tripping with iTrip!
