A significant additional feature in this home is the Florida-style game room on the first level with sizable screen TV, DVD’s, books and games, a pool table.

From the front, this home presents the façade of a home where the front is the best of the outdoor amenities with white rocking chairs looking out at mature-growth trees, a well-maintained yard and garage, but it is not for parking. But…the back of the home is a whole additional bonanza!

The backyard has a brick patio surrounding a regulation-style pool that is open year-round but is not heated, and a whirlpool spa hot tub. The pool is surrounded by chairs and a hammock. Also, in this fun area is a huge fire pit with conversational grouping of chairs, gas grille and a enchanting tiki bar, compete with jaunty décor and wet bar.

Rental home booking tips:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing yourrental home:

• To start, have your group commit to vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Barbee Beach House: A Peaceful Vacation Home for a Large, Active Group has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach attraction you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
