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!

Finding the best Wrightsville Beach rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Holden Beach. Book your Wrightsville Beach rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? 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 qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting and booking your prefectvacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. \"The Barnacle\" - Oceanfront Home, 3 Bedrooms / 2 Bathrooms has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of issues.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to propel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
