About this property
Ocean View on South Beach, 4 Bedrooms, 3 Baths. 2 Master suites, access to BHI Club
BEST FEATURES!
Spectacular views off the large back deck Right across from beach access Wide open floor plan with plenty of living space 2 Master Suites
Prepare to be very surprised with how comfortable and convenient Fish Tale is for your vacation. The view is spectacular, the floor plan is open and comfortable, and unlike many houses along the beach we are only steps from the nearest beach access so no driving needed! Fish Tale is the home on Bald Head that you will rent year after year. Just ask our guests! Walk through the front door, take in the sweeping views of the Atlantic from almost every window, and relax instantly on the huge sofa in the wide open floor plan. You will soon be sharing your own 'Fish Tales' with friends about your adventures on Bald Head Island.
This home is perfect for two-three families or 3 couples, with 2 master suites (king beds), a queen bedroom, and a bunk room with full twin bunks, built in bunks suitable for teens and younger (not quite twin size mattress) and full size crib. Dining in? No problem! The kitchen is very well stocked (many families say they will always rent for Thanksgiving due to many pots, pans, appliances, serving ware, etc). Add to that a large round dining table that easily seats up to 10 with spectacular views of the ocean! The open floor plan with a soaring ceiling makes living in Fish Tale most enjoyable. The living area is open to the kitchen, dining area, and sunroom. Although it is open, the bedrooms are tucked privately off the open living area. There are also several sitting areas to read, puzzle, enjoy coffee, or just admire the view. The most popular places to relax however, are the sunroom to view the sunrise and the deck to soak in the sunset. Just gorgeous! Fish Tale truly has something for everyone. We provide high speed wireless internet and DVR service on the TV. So you can head to the beach but not miss your game, favorite show, or golf match. Although this is not a new home, it sure has fun, updated furnishings and linens. All guests comment on the comfortable and high quality beds, pillows, and linens. We are extremely kid and beach friendly! Home includes a high chair, booster chair, 2 full cribs, pack and play, toys, books, and beach and pool toys and floats/boards. You will enjoy the quality beach chairs, beach towels, beach bags, and private outdoor shower. Our goal is to be sure all amenities are in working order and ready for you! We provide access to one double kayak as well. Let the exploring begin!! Fish Tale is conveniently located on South Beach just steps from a beach access. We are close to the Bald Head Island Club, the Maritime Market. Two 4-seater golf carts are available for your use.

Nice home, it was ideal for our family. Everyone was comfortable. The home is older and in need more f some loving. We didn’t know there was a washer and dryer because it was locked up until the night before we left. It would have been nice to have been available. The internet went out for a day but they were very communicative and even came out in terrible weather. Would rent this home again. It was lovely.
This house made our vacation! So bright and relaxing.
If you are looking for a spacious, well appointed home that feels like your are transported to a beach paradise - THIS IS THE HOUSE FOR YOU!!
The house was perfect! Very spacious living area with a great playroom for the kids. The house was fully stocked and comfortable. Great location! We will be back!

Great home away from home
We had a great experience renting this house! The owners are terrific to work with and really care that your stay is wonderful. The house was in great shape and decorated warmly. The extras such as beach towels, kayaks, many bikes and many games just added to our great time.
No reservations recommending!

Fish Tale is a wonderful home. Great view of the beach from the deck, well appointed and lovely, clean home. Great place for a large group or small gathering. The owners are very generous with usage of bicycles, beach equipment, etc.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and the great amenities of the home. We hope you can come and stay with us again.
This is the one, you’ve found THE perfect home on BHI! Ocean views, steps away from the beach, stocked kitchen, two beautifully furnished master suites, ample space for entertaining, a “library wall” with so many great beach reads, and so much more. We will definitely be back!
The house is very comfortable and spacious. The photos do it justice. The kitchen is stocked with everything. The view of the sunset and sunbathing on the front deck is amazing. The house is located in a good location on the island because it’s a short drive to the grocery store and restaurants. It also has a beach access right across the street.

Excellent House
Bald Head Island is my family's favorite place to take a beach vacation. This house is very well appointed and functional. Anything you could want to have available was there, including gas and charcoal grills, beach toys, and bikes, and the kitchen set up and bunk beds in the kids room were great. The view is tremendous, and there was plenty of space for two families to relax and spread out. The owners were quick with responses to reserve the property as well as refund the security deposit. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect house!
After staying in countless beach houses up and down the east coast, Fish Tales was one of the best. Wonderfully equipped kitchen, great beach chairs, spacious outdoor shower, comfy beds and phenomenal views. The owners were very attentive and when we had a fan issue, maintenance was there in an hour! We had plenty of room for the 10 people in our party and with 4 teenage girls, that is a must;) Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home with us!

So glad you had such a wonderful week. We love feedback and try to improve the home year after year. Hope to see you again!
This property was a wonderful place to stay the week after my daughter’s wedding. Great location across from the beach. Cute beach cottage, fully equipped. The only minor problem was large palmetto bugs all over the house. Might need an exterminator to come spray. Other than that, perfect!

Thank you!! We do have this home on quarterly pest control but will have them come back and spray again! We hope you can come back and see us.
We had a fantastic stay at this property - I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be much more spacious and updated in the living areas than I was expecting. There were ample toys for the babies and young kids to play with, we didn't need to unpack any toys that we bought. I was expecting larger/newer golf carts, but the 2 4-seater carts did the job just fine! The kitchen was awesome, overall stay was fantastic. Just wish we would have booked longer!

Beautiful home! Pictures do not do not accurately show how amazing this home is. Right across the street from beach actress. 3 golf carts, one of which was brand new and comfortably fit all 4 of us. 2 masters on opposite sides of the home, everyone has plenty of space! Cannot wait to return!

A Home Away from Home
This house boasts a great open floorplan with plenty of windows, natural light and views to enjoy, while also providing cozy spots throughout for quite moments. The kitchen is very workable and wonderfully stocked. Our young son was excited to find a section just for him with toys and a great spot to play in the sun room. We've returned to BHI for several years and we found this house met so many of our needs. It is truly a warm and inviting house. Thank you for sharing!

a great spot on BHI
This house was great for our 2 families when we stayed last spring. There was plenty of room for the kids and adults. Big, spacious rooms, open floorplan. Everything works. The best part was the excellent deck for cocktails overlooking the ocean, beach is right there. Well equipped with nice furniture, great beds- no need to bring my own pillows or linens. Plenty of beach toys and chairs, golf carts. The location in middle of south beach is ideal mid-island. No problems at all. highly recommended.

GREAT HOUSE
Fish Tale is a comfortable, well lived-in house that is easy to love. Our family came to Bald Head for the first time and stayed at Fish Tale. Perfectly located close to everything, Fish Tale has great decks and living spaces. We loved the crabbing, kite flying and reading. The library is great. Excellent tables for puzzles and games. The satellite radio was a nice surprize, and the kitchen had great gadgets. Everything is well-organized and the beds and linens were of superior quality. We will return again. Thank you for sharing your wonderful house with us.

Nice location, AC problem
This house has too much clutter, too many baby toys. Air conditioning was a problem in the entire house and a portable unit was not working well for the master bedroom. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was recently remodeled. The rest of the house was somewhat dated showing signs of wear and tear. Overall we had a great time because we love BHI!

Thank you for your review. We work very hard to keep our house a comfortable and an affordable place to stay on BHI. Our rate is well below homes in the area. We keep it well stocked (most guests rent this home because of the toys for small children) and provide high quality linens and towels in addition to a very well stocked kitchen for family meals. We have high quality beach chairs, beach towels, and many bikes (not often found in rental homes). Of course, things happen on the island that are hard to repair quickly - the AC. It is BHI - one of the drawbacks of being on an island! I hope you find a house that better suits your group needs in the future. Thank you for trying our home.
We had a wonderful stay with three families all with small children. The bunk room was perfect for the kids and the other three bedrooms were great for the adults. The best part was the sun room area with ALL the TOYS! We didn’t have to unpack any of the toys we brought and the kiddos had a blast. Everything was clean and well organized. The only criticism that we have is that having only two 4-person golf carts was difficult when the house slept so many people. Everything else was wonderful and well stocked! Kitchen was above average. The cooking appliances and the kitchen tools were way above expectations. We loved being able to walk to the beach. The toys and crab pots were great to have as well.

fantastic value and view
Fish Tale is a relaxing, beautiful, comfortable well-appointed house that is ideally located in the center of Bald Head Island. I have stayed at Fish Tale twice and can't wait to go back again. The ocean views are gorgeous and the deck is perfect. The kitchen is easy to use and the shared spaces are very nicely laid out so the children can play without interfering with others' relaxation. The beds and linens are of high quality and the house is very clean and tidy. The decorating is fresh and fun. You can get to the beach in less than a minute on foot, and the alligator and turtle pond is quick golf cart ride away. The kids loved the great toys available both in and under the house. Fish Tale is our favorite house to visit on the island. It is a great house for the rental price and I highly recommend this property to all visitors to BHI.

So glad the Brantleys love Fish Tale. It seems to have a heart to it and really draws you back in year after year. Hope to see you again soon!
We absolutely love staying at Fish. Tale. Everything about it was a pleasant surprise! The house was extremely clean, bright and sunny. We had three toddlers with us and certainly did not need to bring one toy! There is a wonderful area for play complete with toys, cars, books and building blocks.
The house is located right across from Beach Access 17. It was easy for everyone to come and go. The outdoor shower with plenty of warm water was a major plus. It also serves to keep the house very clean.The kitchen is fabulous and well equipped. We loved spending our days at the beach and pools, and we loved coming home to Great family dinners and evenings at Fish Tale. Thank you for providing this fabulous property.
