This house was fabulous for our group of 3 families of 4. It was just as described! Beautiful decor and extremely clean. Well stocked kitchen. I would definitely stay here again. Great air conditioning and ice maker. The host was very responsive. The house had a cute “branding” that was an added detail which made the stay feel more special.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Fixin' to Chill! The location is unbeatable- just steps from the beach and about 5 minutes to the shops! The house is very clean, well kept, and fully stocked with all the amenities you could possibly need or want, making it feel like a true home away from home. The garage apartment was a fantastic feature, offering extra privacy and space for our group! Jeff was incredibly responsive and friendly, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better spot for a family getaway. Highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay on Bald Head Island.
The sunrise and sunset were out of this world!
