Welcome to A Summer Fling, freshly featured on Season Four of HGTV's Battle on the Beach as Team Ty Pennington's home! Previous guests of the property will do a double take when they walk into this charming home after renovations finished in early 2024. Upon entering the home, guests' eyes will go upward to the handsome wooden beams lining the vaulted ceiling before meandering to take in the other rustic, wooden accents throughout.

With granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and enough kitchen supplies to provide for your entire family, this impressive kitchen will make you want to stay in and prepare every meal - seating is available for eight guests to dine.

The living space provides enough seating for the entire family and overlooks the sand and sun. Sit back and relax as you watch your favorite show on the flat-screen T.V.. Walk out the ocean side door to experience the salty breeze off the Atlantic Ocean from under the covered porch. After a day on the beach, rinse off the sand with ease in the enclosed outdoor shower.

There are three bedrooms, two of which have a sliding glass door leading to the oceanfront porch. The bunk room sleeps two comfortably. Please note the dimensions of the top bunk are modest and are constructed for your tiny little adventurer!

The game room is ideal for an evening of family fun. When the kids go to bed it can turn into a bar and lounge for leisurely card games. Painted a forest green, the ambiance is very alluring to creatives alike! With four comfortable chairs, this round table seats four.

Convenient to local eateries, stores, parks and attractions. Whether your idea of a vacation is taking long naps in the island breeze, exploring local landmarks or teeing up for 18 holes at one of the area's playable but challenging golf courses, you will find your island home at A Summer Fling!

Finding the best Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Book your rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. A Summer Fling: Gorgeous Vintage Coastal Home with Game Room has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you are enamored with, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
