About this property

Bald Head Island 3 bdrm home with tons of porch space. Convenient to BHIC!

Located on secluded Bald Head Island with no cars (golf carts only), and a nature preserve, Shrimp 'n Grits is an ideal getaway. The home is minutes from the marina, BHI Club and a beach access (500 feet) on the western side by the Cape Fear River. Located on a cul-de-sac, it is a quiet location, great for little ones who want to practice their bike riding skills!

You can see our proximity to the beach on the aerial photo. (Our favorite beach accesses for kids and swimming are also not far away, on the southern side near the BHIC) This website gives a great breakdown of your beach options! http://rentals.coastalurge.com/bald-head-island-beach-guide/

Ride over on the pedestrian ferry and you will feel immediately relaxed as you get off at Bald Head Island and board a tram to Shrimp 'n Grits. 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with an expansive 1300 square feet of porches, this property has it all for your family!

The third bedroom has bunks and queen bed as well, dresser, and a large walk in closet. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are the exact same dimensions.

A four seater golf cart and a six seater golf cart, beach toys and 2-3 bikes included. (Additional bikes are available for rent on the island). An outdoor shower, fish washing station, Big Green Egg and small charcoal grill are also available at the home.

You may purchase a temporary membership under our Lifestyle membership at both the Shoals Club and Bald Head Island Club. We strongly recommend you look into the clubs as they have really wonderful amenities. Shoals Club sets out beach chairs and umbrella for members, and offers pools and restaurants. Bald Head Island Club has sports like croquet, tennis, golf, etc., great pools for kids and restaurants. This is a separate purchase that you coordinate directly with the club.
Once you have booked the home with us, go to these respective links to request a temporary guest membership with the club of your choice. Do not wait as they process these in advance and will cap temporary memberships! We will need to authorize your temporary membership under our full Lifestyle membership. Accordingly, you are responsible for any damages or infractions at the Clubs. Be sure that you submit the form to the club in advance, as there may be a fee for requests with less than 5 days notice.
Bald Head Island Club- https://www.bhiclub.net/guest-memberships (this one is completed online)
Shoals Club- https://shoalsclub.com/documents/10180/1332699/2021+Temp+Member+Form (this one you will print, complete and send to us for signature before submitting to Shoals Club)
A few notes about Club changes: They have changed dates when renters can access the clubs. Some dates/times are for permanent members only. Also, they capped how many temporary rental memberships are available, so request this ASAP before they sell out! Payment is now based on per person instead of per bedroom. Lastly, they are now capping the number of individual temporary members per home, and our home's cap is 8. If you have more than 8 guests, not all can use the club. I strongly suggest contacting the club to ask your questions and get clarification. Unfortunately, we do not know all of the details, and calling or emailing the club is your best bet.

Visit the club websites and the BHI Conservancy to learn more about the island's various pools, golf, kids camps, kids dissection classes, nature walks and more! Our family has really enjoyed their amenities. The historic Old Baldy light house also offers a chance for a birds eye view of the island, while water crafts are also an option for those who enjoy sailing, kayaking and more.

If you are looking to book several homes for a larger group, we can help connect you with our two neighboring homes, essentially booking the private cul-de-sac for your group. (Several families in need of larger space choose to rent out 2-3 of the homes for the week)

*Notes*
Book the tram early as prime times are taken quickly!! For reservations, your address is 7 Spikerush Court.
A small starter kit with a roll of paper towels, toilet paper for each restroom, 1-2 dishwasher and laundry pods, is provided.

This is a non-smoking property. The homeowner has serious allergies to tobacco products, and therefore we can not allow any smoking or vaping on the property (indoors or outdoors). Thank you for understanding how important this is for us.

We provide one 4 seater golf cart and one 6 seater golf cart.

We have three exterior audio/video cameras for added safety of guests and security while the home is vacant. One covers the garage entry, a second covers the front door, and a third at the back porch.

We support our military, and as a small token of appreciation, we will provide a 10% discount to the first 2 military families bookings per year (proof of ID required). Thank you for your service!

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed. The owner's doodles do occasionally visit.

Items available at the home (note this inventory is taken at the beginning of the season. Since we have renters, we can not guarantee condition or even that they will still be there): Pack and play, booster seat chair insert located in the coffee bar cabinets, baby gate, beach towels, 5 beach chairs, beach umbrella, sand toys, bicycles, crab pot.

Our family hopes that you will love Shrimp 'n Grits as much as we do! Please let us know what questions we can answer about Bald Head Island to make your stay more enjoyable! Follow our Facebook page for updates and photos https://www.facebook.com/shrimpngritsBHI

weekend getaway
Fantastic introduction to Bald Head Island with extensive comforts found in this beautiful home. We were on BHI to support a family member who was competing in Badwater Cape Fear race. The house was beautifully appointed and convenient for all our needs. The host family communicated with us from the moment we booked until our trip ended. We really enjoyed our stay at Shrimp n Grits!

Such a warm welcoming home away from home on west side of the island!
We loved our stay at Shrimp n' Grits! The host was so hospitable from start to finish, the property was immaculately clean and welcoming and perfect for our family of 5! We have been coming to BHI for years and stayed all over the island but never on the west side, and loved it, especially the proximity to BHI club, the marina, old Baldy and mostly the sunsets! We walked across the street every night for the sunsets, just incredible. The home is lovely and accommodated our family of 5 perfectly. The house is so well stocked with everything you would need for your vacation. Thank you, Amy, we will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Navejas

Host profile image
Welcome! Our names are Cherrie and Kerry Murphy (also known as Mamaw and Papaw Fixit), and we live in Lynchburg, Virginia.
We first came to Bald Head Island with our own children in the early 1990's and loved every minute. We now have two adult children and six grandchildren who love visiting Bald Head!

Why they chose this property

Cherrie grew up at the beach in nearby Morehead City and has always loved shelling and walking the beaches. Papaw Fixit can typically be found sitting on the porch outdoors, taking in the quiet. We considered naming the house "Fixit's Leg-a-Sea" as we have both always dreamed of a beach home of our own. Shrimp 'n Grits is the perfect beach side home, with its traditional reversed floor plan, 1300 square feet of porch space and open living area.
We love the peaceful, relaxed environment that you experience as soon as you step off the ferry at Bald Head. Our younger grandkids really love the golf cart rides, turtle walks and dissection classes that the Conservancy offers, and want to try out sailing lessons. Our older grandson loves that BHI is safe enough for him to explore independently, bike to the beach accesses or participate in the Turtle Trot. Bald Head offers such a unique experience, away from the hustle and bustle of touristy beach towns. You can truly relax and enjoy your family here. We hope you will love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

One thing that led us to this property instead of the other homes for sale on the island was the expansive porch space. The home has 1300 square feet of porch, so you can sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather and the quiet. Two of the bedrooms have direct access to the porches. We also love that it is so close to the marina, Bald Head Island Club, and a beach access that is great for morning walks.
