Cozy Family Stay
by Amy on 11/28/2021
This house has a wonderful living room area, comfy beds, and lots of fun games and toys for kids. We also greatly appreciated the scooters, beach chairs, and plethora of beach towels! All in all, would highly recommend. Thank you to the owners for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Location location location!
by Nichols on 09/28/2021
We were in town for a wedding weekend and had never visited BHI before. Life of Riley far exceeded any expectations that we had. The spaciousness and living room/ dining area setup were perfect for 3 couples and we had plenty of entertaining space indoor and outdoor to have our friends over that were also in town. The 2 golf carts, bikes, beach chairs, etc. were just the icing on the cake. This location was ideal, as we had wedding events on both sides of the island. We were just minutes from the market, the chapel, the ferry boats, and restaurants. BHI services even gave us courtesy calls throughout the trip to make sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to booking another trip soon!

Amazing trip, adorable house!
by Holly on 06/13/2021
Our first trip to BHI was absolutely amazing. And the Life of Riley was the perfect house for our family of 6. The pictures of the house don't do it justice. Great layout with tons of seating in the living room for everyone to spread out. The beds were so comfortable! Kitchen was really well stocked. The property management people were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this house and BHI!

Everything we expected. Thank you.

Wonderful visit
by Catherine on 08/23/2020
We would definitely stay here again. Our family of 6 really liked the layout, and wonderful amenities for kids! There were art supplies, books, games and puzzles which were perfect for several rainy mornings. The kitchen was also well-equipped with everything we needed in terms of cookware and instruments. There were plenty of beach chairs and sand toys in the garage which was convenient as well.

Loved this house. Perfect for a weekend get away for my family. Loved the books and games for kids and all of the extras like sand chairs and beach toys !

A rare find
by Jim on 07/30/2019
This house is more than you would expect for the price. There was plenty of room for the six of us and although there are houses quite close, the neighborhood was very quite and relaxing. Best of all was the screened in back porch where we could sit and unwind.
