New to PROACTIVE Vacations! "The Barnacle" is one of the most historical
homes on Holden Beach! On the oceanfront, above the dunes and beach, "The
Barnacle" greets you indoors with lively art and regional photography by the original
owner, a nature-loving professional artist. He and his wife designed the home to savor
ever-changing vistas and pleasures of the enticing Atlantic Ocean— sunrises, sunsets,
the far horizon, charming skies, native growth, sand and surf. All are viewed through a
full façade of windows or accessed by a private footpath to the ocean. "The
Barnacle" features weathered-wood accents, natural driftwood, shells from the sea,
and other authentic artifacts of Holden Beach. A ship's anchor rests near the entrance,
and the face of a noble Sea Captain, carved into a post of the dining area by the
owner, overlooks the ocean and ends up in rather a few group photos of visiting guests.
The entryway displays a published biography of the life and times of the late artist-
owner, including those at Holden Beach. His wife preserves his legacy at this place
they adored by sharing their warm and inviting beach home with visitors.

The living room offers constructed-in couch and window bench seating, comfortable recliners,
a rocker, occasional tables, books, and fishnet window coverings for natural light and
ocean vistas. The dining table seats 8. The well-equipped kitchen provides the delight
of ocean vistas from 7 enormous windows while you create tasty home-cooked meals.
Ceiling fans add breezes in all living and sleeping areas. With 3 bedrooms and 2
bathrooms, the home comfortably accommodates 6 - 8 guests. Bedroom #1 has a
queen bed, #2 two full beds, and #3 two full beds. The two full bathrooms are shower-
only with one of the bathrooms positioned near the entryway. Downstairs an
additional outdoor shower with hot-cold water is enclosed, ideal for rinsing off after a
day on the beach.

While rocking away your cares on the covered oceanfront porch, watch shrimp boats
drag their nets and bathers appreciate the waves as seabirds sail the skies. Unwind and
relax on the sundeck, complete with a compass hand-carved into the deck floor.
Your toes can be in the sand in just a few mins. by way of the private beach
boardwalk. Search for your favorite seashells, sharks' teeth, driftwood, or other gifts
from the sea, or try your hand at surf fishing. Good luck awaits!
We hope that you will fall in adore with & "The Barnacle" just as much as we have, and
be a return guest, year after year!

Strategies to get the very best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Holden Beach. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick your Carolina Beach rental:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. \"The Barnacle\" - Oceanfront Home, 3 Bedrooms / 2 Bathrooms has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
