We loved staying here! Beautiful ocean views. Quick and easy beach access with the golf carts. House was comfortable and had everything we needed! Would love to come back!
Best property across from beach access with beautiful views! 6 seat golf cart excellent! Rode bikes, had nice meals with family, walked, & played games. Pet friendly. Pretty villa. Great communication. Loved it!
Home was well updated and clean. Furniture was comfortable and enough seating for the four of us. LInens were good quality. Appreciated not having to strip beds and gather up towels for laundering before leaving. Very stress free stay.
We stayed in this property for my Nephews wedding in mid November. The house was clean and neat. We enjoyed the comfy living room with the sun streaming in the wall of windows. A few steps out the door and you’re in the boardwalk to the dunes and beach. Even though it was November we enjoyed several walks on the beach, siting dolphins several times.
We had a great week in this awesome villa on BHI. It’s our first time staying in the villas in 15 years of vacationing on BHI. Villa 44 was in great shape and you can’t beat the location. Having early morning coffee or late afternoon drink on the deck overlooking the ocean can’t be beat. Tyler was awesome as a host. 5 stars.

Seaside Passage had beautiful views, it was very clean, and had everything we needed. Pictures are reflective of what it is like in person. Location is great! Had a very nice welcome folder of everything needed to be done upon arrival and departure as well as things to do on the island. Communication was excellent. I certainly recommend Seaside Passage.

We enjoyed beautiful sunrise and sunset, enjoyed delicious meals and each other’s company!

We had a perfect trip to BHI! This rental is very nice. Has incredible views. The sunset when we were there was so beautiful it didn't look real. Great relaxing time. Close to beach. Very clean. Just great!
Nicely stocked attractive Villa. Loved having a panoramic view of the water. We had great weather and went to the pool and beach everyday. So fun to be able to walk or ride bikes to BHIClub. Kitchen space is tight but everything else was great.
We’ve been coming to BHI for over 30 years and have stayed all over the island. We decided to try a villa again like we did in 1990 and it didn’t disappoint! This is a very comfortable, clean villa and a prime location. The communication with the property manager was easy and they always responded quickly and attentively. If we choose a villa again, we will request this one!
Just need a little down time to relax without the hustle and bustle. Rode bikes and rode carts around the whole island which was beautiful. Beach was big with no one on it which was great.. Just a little bit of paradise. The house was clean and everything you need was there. TThe views

We enjoyed our week at Seaside Passage! The location can't be beat, so close to the beach and BHI Club. The house was true to the photos, updated, clean and neat. We are a family of six and had plenty of room to spread out. The 2 golf carts were easy to operate and the bikes were in good shape. I would definitely recommend this rental! Tyler was easy to reach with questions and concerns.
Wow, this beautiful villa is completely updated with all the amenities needed for a cozy family vacation. The view is unbeatable for watching the sun go down with a glass of wine. My family of five didn’t want to leave! The villa comes equipped with all you need for the beach including chairs, towels, toys, boogie boards, umbrella Barbara and Tyler were wonderful and responsive hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Three Mermaids is the perfect home away from home at BHI!
True Relaxing Vacation…
1 out of 10.. 10 being the highest in satisfaction.
We give it an 11..
I am totally serious. Barbara and Tyler.. I promise you when we come back to the island we contact you first.
GOD BLESS!!

I’ve stayed many times at bhi but this was the first time in a villa. We loved the location and out favorite part was being able to see the ocean from kitchen, living and master. The upstairs deck is awesome bc you can see the waves breaking. It’s decorated very cute and beachy. Barbara and Tyler were great. Tyler helped us get in early since we were already on the island and moving houses. Everything was in working order and we loved sitting in the rocking chairs. Thanks for taking good care of us !
This property has a great location, is very clean, and we overall very much enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the good wifi and plentiful places to charge devices. I wish the bikes at the property were in better condition, they were essentially almost rusted through and my husband had to fix the chain on one of them after it came off while we were biking around a bit. We had an issue that one of the carts wasn’t charging correctly that was resolved quickly once we called, but we didn’t figure this out until after the cart almost didn’t get back to the house the first day. I also wish for the price a few more rolls of toilet paper, paper towels, and garbage bags were provided, seems like it would be an easy run to Costco for the management and would make it easier for visitors. I don’t think we would return with a group that needed to use all three bedrooms, as the upstairs bedroom is essentially open to the only common space in the house, the kitchen and living room, so any noise whatsoever is easily heard by the folks trying to sleep in that room. It makes it essentially unusable as a third bedroom. It’s also awkward that the people in that bedroom have to come downstairs and shower. But, overall, a lovely house and we had a great time during our visit!

Never got to stay because the rental agency canceled our stay.
Nothing to say other than 1month before our stay the rental agency said they didn’t receive our deposit (I believe they didn’t process it correctly) and that they didn’t like my profile (whatever that means). Since there were people in the house, when we stayed at another last minute booking, I am guessing they had someone willing to book for the full week or maybe the owner wanted to stay at the property. As it turned out a tropical storm dropped 20 inches of rain on BHI and we needed to have a very nice builder on the island drive us to town in his truck and needed to rent a private boat and captain to get us off island. I have rented 40+ rentals over the years and have never had such a strange/shady situation occur. Anyways , I would not ever rent from this agency again.
The house looked lovely online and the outside looked great in person.
