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!

Absolutely AMAZING! This house was perfect for my family and friends. The owners thought of everything - umbrellas, turtlebox for music, chairs, etc. and were very responsive throughout our entire process. We will be back!
