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.

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!

Beautiful property
My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at Fish n Chips! The property is beautiful! Modern and clean with every convenience. It was our first time staying at that end of the island and we loved how close it was to shopping and restaurants. The guest cottage was very well appointed and we also loved having an outdoor shower. I would highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay!
My family and I spent a few days at this home and I would highly recommend it! The home was very clean, beautifully decorated and well organized. It was well stocked with anything you may need including beach towels and lots of great beach accessories. Only a short distance to the beautiful South Beach access by golf cart or bike. The host was extremely helpful and very communicative.

Lovely home, fabulous location!
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!

Wonderful New Year Escape
The home was absolutely a perfect escape to ring in the New Year. Nicely renovated inside with large living spaces and bedrooms perfect for a family or a group of friends. Check in process was so easy and the location just a few minutes from the Shoals Club and the market/shop area. The house was just as described along with everything in it comfortable and super clean. The host, Chrissie, could not have been more attentive during the whole process. Thank you, Chrissie, for your hospitality!

GREAT house!
We stayed for 4 nights in April with our family (3 kids ages 6 and under). This is a great house!! The property manager is delightful, easy to work with, and super helpful. We loved the location in Cape Fear and proximity to our favorite beach access points on East Beach and South Beach. The golf cart was clean and had zero issues (this was a first of any of our rental homes;). The kitchen and home supplies were well-stocked and nicely labeled. Everything worked great and the space is beautiful! We highly recommend this lovely home.

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.

Wonderful Home
Beautiful home and location. Everything about this stay was great. Beds are super comfortable, lots of light in the house and well organized kitchen. It’s not missing anything! :) The upstairs is resting in beautiful live Oak trees. Windows all the way around are just gorgeous and it feels like a tree house. Lots of great touches and decor. New and very comfortable couches and pillows. My older teens played games and said the house felt homey. The only thing we would have added was a second golf cart but those are very easy to rent on the island if you like a little more freedom for your small group. The golf cart with the home is in great condition and seats 6 and has a fold down space for cargo. This was the cleanest home we’ve stayed in over the last 14 years. They’re doing a great job with cleanliness. I think this is the best location on the island. East beach and the access areas are easy to get to and the market is also close. Thanks for a wonderful vacation and sharing your home.

Annual family vacation to BHI
Our family of four take an annual trip to BHI each summer. Overall we were very happy with the house. The communication with the owner / pm was fantastic, she was very responsive and helpful. The house was a perfect amount of space for my wife and I, and our two young kids. My mother also joined us for a few nights, and the separate guest cottage was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and a few meals, and connected with the family room, comfortable space for all to eat, drink and relax. The outside deck space was nice, unfortunately we didn’t use much of it due to the heat and humidity the week of our visit. I’d imagine this would be a nice space to enjoy in some cooler weather. There was an outdoor shower which was very useful as well coming back from the beach or pool. The house came with Shoals Club access, which we used. Overall it was okay, other homes we’ve rented on the island had access to the BHI club, which we prefer a bit more due to more kid friendly pool areas. The provided 6 seater golf cart was comfortable and reliable, no issues at all. The neighborhood was quite and set back a bit. We opted for this type of home this year vs being on the ocean like last year to experience a different type of rental location. Both have their pros and cons, but I’m sure we’d rent in a similar location again. Overall we very much enjoyed the trip and would recommend this house!

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.
