Thanks for choosing Fixin' to Chill for your island get away. We hope to see you soon back on BHI!
We had an absolutely amazing stay at Fixin' to Chill! The location is unbeatable- just steps from the beach and about 5 minutes to the shops! The house is very clean, well kept, and fully stocked with all the amenities you could possibly need or want, making it feel like a true home away from home. The garage apartment was a fantastic feature, offering extra privacy and space for our group! Jeff was incredibly responsive and friendly, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better spot for a family getaway. Highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay on Bald Head Island.
A welcoming beautiful home that was prefect to create treasured family moments on the island. It is wonderful that it is stocked with everything needed in the kitchen, at the beach or on a rainy afternoon and for all ages from toddlers to adults. We are already looking forward to future visits!
