Welcome to A Summer Fling, newly 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 pretty home after renovations finished in early 2024. Upon entering the home, guests' eyes will go upward to the charming 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 striking 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 TV. 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!

Tricks and tips to get the very best Cape Fear area rental experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To find the largest rental within budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• 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 special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfect Cape Fear area rental:

• Begin by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. A Summer Fling: Gorgeous Vintage Coastal Home with Game Room has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
