About this house rental
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.

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.

A lovely place with everything we needed. The beds were luxurious and so comfortable!The separate cottage is a great feature for grandparents or a sitter. Highly recommend!

Fish N Chips was absolutely perfect for our long weekend. Incredibly clean, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, well-organized, great layout, great location. It was our first time on BHI and Chrissie was so communicative and helpful as we prepped and arrived on island. We’ll be back!
6 / 10Average·Sep 2024
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.
