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.

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!

Perfect BHI home

We had a great stay at Fish N Chips. I especially loved all the linens and comfortable furniture. The house was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. Loved having the laundry room just off the entry. The cottage was perfect also. Chrissy was easy to work with. Loved the location too.

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!

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.

Great stay!

Great communication with the owner. Very clean, comfortable beds. No complaints at all about the home! I ONLY took off one star for location because we typically stay on the beach and this home is located in the woods a bit so it's more of a tree house type feel. Just a matter of personal preference. But the decor is beachy and you're literally a two minute ride from the east AND the south beaches. One minute ride to Mike's Bites was handy too! Nice little selection of games and puzzles for the kids/teens and we made some great memories and got some nice pictures with the stand up paddle board. Nice beach chairs too. Kitchen decently appointed. It really was a great week. Thanks Chrissie!!

Cute Little Cottage

It's a nice little house in the maritime forest area of the island which I really like. It's very near the Shoals Club and a short, easy drive to the Maritime shops. The owner was very nice and responsive when I had to communicate issues/questions. On the down side, perhaps because we were there at the end of the season, we just had several maintenance issues (i.e. bikes and electrical breakers), a few missing items (i.e. beach towels and laundry detergent) that contributed to my three star rating. I was also very disappointed in the kitchen. For a house that can accommodate 6 adults, it was poorly equipped (and poorly lit) so if you're planning to do your own cooking - you probably want to pack bigger pots and pans as well as a sharp knife or two. When we arrived the only key in the lock box was for the golf cart. Luckily, we found a house key in the unlocked garage and were able to get in. Seems to me that the maintenance/cleaning staff should have checked things like this. As I said in the beginning, it's a very nice little cottage and if it wasn't for a bunch of easily addressed "attention to detail" & maintenance issues, this would have been a much more positive review.

Everything you could ever need is there...and it's simply lovely. The location is supreme. Cozy beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and plenty of space for our family of five to spread out! The separate cottage was so perfect for our 18-year-old who felt massively grown up having her own space. The house also has fresh new bikes to ride around the island and a large, well-maintained golf cart.We've rented from these owners several times, and they never provide anything less than an amazing experience.

The house was perfect for 6 people. The family room and kitchen area were great for entertaining. The location by East beach is perfect for going back and forth to the beach. I wish there was a second golf cart. For a house this size, every other rentals would have 2 carts. It made it tough for planning.

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.
