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, impressive 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 huge 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!

Tips to get the best vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Brunswick area area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the largest rental within budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
