This six bedroom, 6.5 bath getaway on Bald Head’s private Middle Island amazes you with its inspiring panoramas, tranquility and comfort. Step into the bricked entryway of this reverse-floor plan home, from there hardwoods lead you to the central lower-level gathering area which is ideal for family game-playing and movie watching. Check out the adjacent dinette with its own coffee bar-ideal for your morning java. Off this space are three bedrooms. The first is a Queen with a full ensuite bath and private access to the back screened porch that homes a ping pong table. The next bedroom is a twin bunk room with an additional trundle. It utilizes the close by hall full bath. Beyond, a bedroom with two more twins also features its own ensuite. At the end of the hall, there’s another huge, bright corner Queen bedroom with its own ensuite. This level also homes the laundry, three outdoor showers and a placid marsh-front back deck with caressing winds and cicada serenades. Upstairs reveals an oversize, natural light-filled, vaulted open floor plan backed by French doors and windows that grant “WOW factor” panoramas across Bald Head’s estuary all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. The living space is anchored by a decorative granite fireplace, warmed by gracious hardwoods and surrounded by handsome wainscoting. The dining area, furnished with a table for ten and a convenient bar, is abutted by a granite breakfast bar proffering seating for four more. Eat here or just outside on the upper deck at either the dining table or on covered lounges and chairs while relishing salty breezes and marsh/seascapes. The chef’s kitchen extends plenty of butcher block counter space and pleases with a walk-in pantry and Kitchen Aid and Viking stainless appliances. 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. The second also features an ensuite as well as its own private access to the back deck. Equipped with three four-passenger golf carts, Barnard House will spoil you with the Bald Head vacation you’ve been dreaming more!

How to get the best rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Bald Head Island rental home:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Brunswick area area. To book the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick the best Brunswick area vacation home:

• First, have your group choose dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. The Barnard House is located on exclusive Middle Island! has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
