About this property

Updated 4 BR home in Cape Fear Station by East Beach with access to Shoals Club

Welcome to “Fish N’ Chips”!

A beautifully updated, charming 4 BR cedar shake beach home in the Summers Crescent neighborhood of Cape Fear Station near East Beach. Sleeps up to 6 adults, 2 children (2 King beds, 1 Queen bed, Twin bunk). One 6 seater golf cart. Less than 2 minutes by golf cart to the favored East beach. Renovated in early 2022 - new furniture, new paint, new hardwood floors in all bedrooms, and quartz countertops throughout.

Bright and airy reverse floor plan with vaulted ceilings over a spacious kitchen, sunny eating area, and living room. Two king bedrooms and two full bathrooms, as well as a kids’ bunk room with twin bunkbed, are located in the main house.

The lower level king bedroom adjoins the bunk room through a sliding barn door, perfect for families with children. It has an en suite full bath with walk-in shower.

The upper level king bedroom is adjacent to a full bath with shower over tub.

Off the large side deck is a boardwalk to a quaint, private guest cottage with queen bed, full bathroom, TV and mini-fridge/Keurig.

There is a full-sized laundry room in the main house. You can enjoy sitting out on the private side or front deck, listening to the sounds of the ocean. There is a charcoal grill on the deck for evening cookouts.

One 6-seater golf cart, surfboard and stand up paddle board are available for your use. There are a few bicycles that are in "as is" condition. Guests are welcome to use the bicycles we have, or can choose to rent their own on the island from one of the rental shops.

Around the back of the home is a spacious outdoor shower. Beach towels and chairs are provided. Our home is just a 2 minute walk to the Turtle Conservancy, Mike’s Bites and the community park. Ocean-front Shoals Club guest memberships are available for purchase. Shoals Club pools, restaurants, fitness center, and beach accesses are just a 1 minute golf cart ride away!

Fish N’ Chips is a no-pets and no-smoking home. We also own “Not On Call”, a quaint, two BR cottage located a few homes down on the same street from “Fish N’ Chips” - perfect if you are looking for a nearby home for friends or family.

BHI also offers historical tours, kayak rentals, bicycle rentals, guided fishing trips, turtle conservancy, nature trails, shopping, crabbing, etc. So much to enjoy, whether visiting in the midst of summer or in the off-season.

PLEASE NOTE-
Hurricane Policy: If the local Government orders a mandatory evacuation for Bald Head Island AND you don’t stay at our home, you will receive a full refund for the nights the evacuation order is in place. This does not pertain to voluntary evacuations, a situation where travel insurance is certainly beneficial.

If our home becomes uninhabitable for any reason (fire, wind, flood), and we need to cancel, you will receive a full refund for unused days of your stay.

Because of the current pandemic, and because unexpected situations can arise (health, work, date conflicts, etc), we recommend protecting your investment and vacation by purchasing travel insurance.

The links below are just one option provided through Vrbo. Please read the details carefully before selecting which insurance is best for you – policies vary in the coverage related to COVID-19.

Camera disclosure: BHI is a special community often described as “going back in time” – while it is a very safe and friendly community, theft can still occur. PLEASE NOTE - in an effort to keep our home protected, we have an outdoor security system. There are three clearly visible exterior cameras located at entry points to the cottage - front door garage, and back porch.

No pet policy violation: We have opted to keep our home pet-free for a variety of reasons, and maintain a strict no-pet policy. Please note that under North Carolina Law, Emotional Support Animals are not exempt from the no-pet policy. Bringing an unauthorized pet to the cottage will incur a $500 fee and, per VrBO policy, your booking can be cancelled without refund.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Our family of four had an absolutely perfect stay at Fish N Chips cottage over the Thanksgiving holiday. Everything about the home was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was wonderful, and the cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing family trip.The host was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had, which made the entire experience even better. We truly couldn’t have asked for a smoother or more enjoyable stay.We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend Fish N Chips to anyone visiting Bald Head Island!

Beautiful home right near East Beach. Quiet, clean and comfortable, especially the beds. After years of summer trips, you come to learn there are 2 types of owners: the people who simply rent out their houses, and the true hosts who offer a little extra. These folks are the latter. Thanks for a great stay.

Great place

This was our 2nd trip to Bald Head. The island is beautiful, it has enough outside of the ocean to keep the kids entertained, and the beaches are beautiful. We really liked staying near East Beach where the kids surfed daily. The house was perfectly kept and came exactly as advertised. I recommend it highly.

Wonderfully maintained home, great location!

Fish & Chips was perfect for our trip with family. The teen in our group loved staying in the crofter, and the twin bunk room off of the downstairs bedroom was perfect for a toddler. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies and everything in the home was well-maintained. Plenty of beach towels for our family of 6 the beach chairs, toys, golf cart, and surfboard were in excellent condition. The property manager was super responsive and friendly - very easy to work. Beds were so comfortable, my husband took a picture of the tag to order for home! You won't be disappointed with this home for your BHI vacation!

Our family and friends truly had a wonderful week on BHI staying at Fish N' Chips. Chrissie and family have provided the perfect setting to enjoy BHI's beauty. We have been to BHI approximately 8 times and #4 Sumner's Crescent is one of our favorite locations. We look forward to our next trip!

Amazing stay in great location

What a great little cottage for families! We loved our stay here and the owner is fantastic and super communicative. The golf cart is fast (not always common with rentals) and there was plenty of kitchen goods to cook most meals here. Very close to East Beach accesses and tucked away in nature. I would suggest bringing a fan for the crofter as the unit stays fairly warm. We had a great stay!

We loved our stay at Fish n Chips for spring break. The home was clean, updated and extremely well organized. We felt like we were in a treehouse eating meals upstairs and enjoyed the outdoor area and grill for appetizers. We lucked out with beautiful weather and it was an easy golf cart ride to East Beach and Shoals Club where we spent lots of time as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay at your home!

Fun for the whole family

Bald Head is a truly special place and this house is a great place to enjoy all the peace, tranquility and ocean breezes the island has to offer. It was a great layout for our group the teens were able to spend time on their own in the crofter and the suite downstairs and venture upstairs for shared family meals, game night and dessert. The owners were very responsive when we had any questions and really went above and beyond to make sure we had enough beach towels and to help us with the house bikes. Truly one of the best vacations we have ever taken.
