About this Property

• Sleeps 19
• 6 Bedrooms
• 6 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Welcome to our family's piece of heaven: the Blue Barracuda! We've designed the ideal beachfront space to create cherished family memories and comfortably home sizable families & groups.

As the home has just been finished, we'll post refreshed, furnished photos when available, but for now, I'm happy to answer questions about the broad amenities planned and have listed detailed descriptions of each room below. Opens in March!

Note: Summer reservations available Sat-Sat

Also Note: Although we have 6 bedrooms, we have priced it equal to comparable 5 BR properties because our rooms are on the modest side and the sixth bedroom is really only comfortable for kids.

Ground Level:
- Parking in paved driveway and under home
-Walk straight out to the beach
-Storage closet full of beach toys: pool floats, 6 beach chairs, Shibumi shade, sand toys, bicycles for all ages (including 4 adult beach cruisers, 6 kids bicycles, 2 scooters and a bicycle carrier), beach ski ball, corn hole, 2 inflatable paddle boards, 2 kids kayaks, 2 adult kayaks (kayak launch for intracoastal waterway .3 mile walk from home at SE 9th St), pickle ball rackets, sand toys and beach towels
-Game area: outdoor ping pong table and darts
-Elevator reaching all floors of the home

Main Level
-Living Room: Wall-to-wall windows showcasing the shining elevated pool and glittering ocean beyond, comfortable seating, 75" intelligent TV and fireplace.
-Dining Area: The open layout accepts for groups to sit and play board games around the upsized, bespoke dining table, while chatting with those taking in the view from the living room or prepping a family dinner in the kitchen.
-Kitchen: Brand new kitchen, entirely supplied to facilitate feeding enormous groups, additional seating available at the peninsula.
-Bedroom 1: Unobstructed beach vistas, a king bed, intelligent TV, and an ensuite with an additional deep soaking tub.
-Bedroom 2: Kids room - Twin bunk bed and generous toys and a intelligent TV, accepting for a dedicated play spot for the kids when they need a break from the surf and sun. Note the bottom bunk is a tri fold twin bed that can be folded for additional play space under the play home. This room is very tiny and has no en-suite and is best suited for kids.
-Exterior: The elevated pool deck overlooking the beach and ocean has everything a group needs for the ideal beach trip. Between the outdoor shower to rinse off, propane grille for cookouts, stairs leading directly to the beach, and ample outdoor seating including loungers, an outdoor dining table, and a conversation set surrounding the fire pit, your group may never make it inside. Savor evenings with the sounds of the ocean and the crackling fire or gaze at the stars from the hot tub as everybody unwinds from playing pool basketball or volleyball and splashing in the ocean all day. Please note, the pool can be heated for $100/day.

Second Level
-Bedroom 3: King-sized bed with sliding glass doors accessing a second-level deck for unobstructed, expansive beach vistas. This room has an ensuite, intelligent TV, and walk-in closet.
-Bedroom 4: This room mirrors bedroom 3, with a king bed, sliding glass doors out to the second level deck, ensuite, intelligent TV and walk-in closet.
-Bedroom 5: This room includes a queen bed, twin bed and intelligent TV. A modest closet is located in the ensuite for this room.
-Bedroom 6: The bunk room was designed to sleep up to eight kids and includes a intelligent TV and ensuite with a separate toilet room for privacy, double vanity and huge bathtub/shower combo. Note floor plan makes beds appear to be twin beds, but they are two full over full bunk beds (4 full beds total). If the adults get too boring, this room also provides an escape for the younger members of the group with a huge TV, a kid play couch and bean bag chairs, as well as a Wii.
-Deck: The second level deck is accessed through bedrooms 3 and 4, but offers ample space for the whole group for unobstructed stargazing at nighttime, sunrise coffee or a sunset viewing event. One of our favorite things about Oak Island is that it offers handsome sunrises and sunsets, so we wanted to ensure we offer the ideal place to take in both.
-Loft: The mini refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee maker provide slow, simple mornings for those who prefer to sip their coffee in private on the upper balcony before interacting with the bigger group in the kitchen. There is a TV and the play couch and bean bag chairs can be moved here from the bunk room for an additional viewing area.
-Washer/Drier: The brand new washer and drier will quickly get your swim suits ready for another day in the sun.

Note to Parents: As a mom of four young kids, my passion for owning a vacation rental comes from my want to provide the ideal space to create family memories and savor family vacations that really feel like a vacation, even while chasing tiny humans. Because of that, every decision in the build process took into account how to best serve families with kids to maximize fun, safety and sleep. For example, two of the king rooms have walk in closets large enough to contain a pack n play and have no outlets or light switches within a kid's reach, there is only one door from the home to the pool and it has a latch out of kids's reach, the outdoor entrance to the pool also has a gate, we chose round door knobs because they can be childproofed easier and we have a sound machine and black out curtains in every room. Additionally, don't worry about packing your infant gear, because if a kid, toddler or infant can use it, we probably have it (but definitely check the list below or message me to make sure).

Our top Wrightsville Beach rental home tips:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have deals for local tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. New Construction-Beachfront-Private Pool heat option-Hot Tub-Elevator-6BR 5.5BA has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
