At each end of this floor is a King Owner and a Queen Owner suite. The first pampers with a garden tub in its ensuite, a private sitting area and two closets.

Tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in Bald Head Island. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. The Barnard House is located on exclusive Middle Island! has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
