Welcome to “Fish N’ Chips”!

A handsomely refreshed, striking 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 sizable 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 savor 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 appreciate, 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 supplied 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 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.

How to book the best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. To get the largest rental for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Cape Fear area attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking your Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Updated 4 BR home in Cape Fear Station by East Beach with access to Shoals Club has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before booking the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

During your stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
