Welcome to “Fish N’ Chips”!

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

Bright and airy reverse floor plan with vaulted ceilings over a cavernous 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 home.

The lower level king bedroom adjoins the bunk room through a sliding barn door, ideal for families with kids. 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 enormous side deck is a boardwalk to a cozy, private guest bungalow with queen bed, full bathroom, TV and mini-refrigerator/Keurig.

There is a full-sized laundry room in the main home. You can appreciate sitting out on the private side or front deck, listening to the sounds of the ocean. There is a charcoal grille 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 stores.

Around the back of the home is a roomy outdoor shower. Beach towels and chairs are supplied. Our home is just a 2 min. 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, eateries, exercise center, and beach accesses are just a 1 min. golf cart ride away!

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

BHI also offers historical tours, kayak units, bicycle units, guided fishing trips, turtle conservancy, nature trails, shopping, crabbing, etc. So much to savor, 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.

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 bungalow - front door garage, and back porch.

No pet policy violation: We have opted to keep our home pet-complimentary 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 bungalow will incur a $500 fee and, per VrBO policy, your booking can be cancelled without refund.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Brunswick area rental home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area travel guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Bald Head Island:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Updated 4 BR home in Cape Fear Station by East Beach with access to Shoals Club has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area beach you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
