About this property

Fabulous beach view! Large pool…across from beach access. Decks on both levels!

"Star of the Sea" is a 4 Bdrms./3.5 baths home offering "free heated" pool (one filled propane tank per visit) with new booking of 5 nights or longer during May and June of 2025. This house is on a CORNER directly across street from ocean with unobstructed views and private beach access. Ocean Blvd. W. -- 1/2 mile from bridge with option for heated private pool. The direct beachfront view is totally wide open with no obstructions. You literally watch the waves pound the sands of the surf! There are wrap around decks (from front to back on both floors)! Sit on front porch watching and listening to the waves crashing on the sand directly in front of you. You can also sit on covered back porch overlooking pool and watch the boats pass by on the Intercoastal waterway.

A great bonus for the family... if the beach is too hot or crowded, head to your own swimming retreat in the privacy fenced back yard oasis. Relax by the pool in a tranquil environment, swim a few laps, or even play some pool basketball in one of the largest pools on the island of Holden Beach!

Parking with 2 sides under home for cars and then head to the coral door which leads you to your haven for the week. Choose from one of two bedrooms facing beach or one of the two in the rear (one overlooking pool). Two of the four bedrooms even have a wraparound porch along the entire side of house with northern end overlooking pool. Third level has an open floor concept with half bath/Living Room/Dining Room, Kitchen bar-center island workspace, and large kitchen fully stocked with dishware, glasses, tools, pots, and pans.... a spacious pantry for storage as well. Enjoy the massive front porch on this level with view of ocean or walk around the deck to the covered back porch overlooking pool.

TVs with cable in each room and living area. Books/games for kids and the family available as well. Beach/pool toys in lower outdoor closet for your use ---just remember to clean them before putting back in closet. WiFi is high speed throughout the home.

Pool is cleaned once a week and monitored mid-week (if you desire additional pool monitoring/cleaning, for additional fee). This is one of the largest pools on the island and can be heated.....INQUIRE FOR COST OF HEATING AT TIME OF BOOKING.

This home is located on a corner lot and is fairly close to main entrance onto island of Holden Beach and is within 1/2 -3/4 mile to Children s Park, Basketball courts, Holden Beach Chapel, Town Hall, Post Office, and 3 restaurants (located on island). The pier is just down the road approx. 1 mile. Several other restaurants, water slides, putt-putt golf, shops, ice cream parlors just across bridge. Holden Beach Island is a wonderful and fun-filled place to create memories for families while reminiscing those days of summer vacations.

Peaceful and tranquil view of the beach from top floor balcony. Great place to enjoy your cup of coffee in the mornings! Plenty of room for a large family. Pool area was clean and had a selection of toys for my grandson. Really enjoyed staying here with our family!

Amazing location, with beach access right across the street! The floor plan was perfect for our group, which included 2 small children and our in-laws. We really enjoyed the pool and the charcoal grill. The property was very clean, although could use some updating (for example, the decking around the pool needs some TLC).

Fabulous

What a wonderful vacation home . The house suited our needs perfectly. The view was phenomenal, the pool area was wonderful (very large pool, comfortable seating in both the sun and the shade), kitchen was well equipped. Loved the shade porch overlooking the pool. The hosts were available to answer any questions we would have and were very accommodating. It is a short walk to the beach and the beach cart and chairs provided by the hosts made everything easy.I guess the best recommendation is we are looking to rent again next summer.

Comfortable home in a great location!

We had a great time at Star of the Sea! The location is perfect and convenient to the beach, coffee shop, grocery store, etc. The view of the beach was great and House was comfortable for 2 vacationing families with young kids. We opted to pay for the heated pool since it was April and the heater worked well. Owner responded quickly to questions via text.

What a pleasant visit to Holden Beach!

What a great place to stay—making our short visit to Holden Beach an enjoyable one! The pool was fabulous for this time of year—especially since it was heated. We really didn’t even need it heated. And, having the private beach access within steps was super for the kids. We appreciate the closet full of beach and pool toys, too. Nice to have these things for our use. Decor was really nice but our favorite was the decks. We could watch boats on waterway and then watch waves and people walk up/down the beach. We will definitely be back.

Loveliest stay ever

This property was in the perfect spot. I was worried about it not being directly on the beach, but there is no home across the street in front of it so you have unobstructed views & can still hear the ocean. The walk is a very short walk across the street and then your toes hit sand. The house is a also only a few short blocks bike ride from ice cream—yum! And the house itself was set up and laid out beautifully. It was immaculate. And had so much outer porch space to sit and enjoy the beautiful Carolina weather. Also — their pool is amazing! Perfect for the whole family. We’ll definitely be going back!

Great family friendly stay at Holden Beach

We had a great stay at Star of the Sea. It was our first time at Holden Beach, and we really enjoyed the family friendly feeling of the beach and the house. It was so nice to be provided baby gates, a pack n play, and other things we needed for the kids. Loved the view from the top floor, the pool was great, and everything was working well. The manager was very responsive to our questions as well. A couple things that could be improved: we had to take care of our recycling, had to wash and dry the towels on the last day, and had to put all dishes back completely (other rentals we've stayed at typically let you leave them clean in the dishwasher). It made the last day hectic getting out. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

A shining Star at Holden Beach

Amazing House, Deck, Pool, Location... it has it all. It was like a ship on the ocean all to ourselves. The best 3rd floor deck on the island with an unobstructed view of the sky and beach which is literally right there. I spent hours and hours on the deck watching the birds and sky. At night the stars go from overhead all the way down to the horizon in front of you. The 3rd floor is perfect with a capable kitchen that has plenty of gear to get any job done. The 2nd floor sleeping quarters are very nice and the master bathroom is lovely. Super comfy beds, great water supply. The bottom level entrance is also perfect. The pool was wonderful. Gas grill. This place has it all. All in all, I was sad to leave and could have stayed here forever. I hope to return some day.

The owner communication was incredible. Owner was very responsive to our needs after having a power outage and electrical failures due to bad weather. He sent an electrician over the very next day and they were able to fix some of the issues, but we still had some lights that just didn’t work. The home is beautifully and tastefully decorated, but can use some updating. Especially in the lighting and electrical department. I give the owner 5 stars, but the home itself 3.5-4 stars.-April

Overall a decent property. The pool was dirty with sand and debris on steps and bottom of the pool. We contacted host and she came to look at the pool and take pictures. The pool guy was to come the next day but didn’t show until the last day of our trip. Host was apologetic and offered a discount if we were to book another trip. Should have offered something this trip due to this was one of reasons we booked the house it had a pool.

Great Location and Beautiful Home.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Easy beach access and convenient to shopping. The house is pleasantly decorated with open airy feel in the living area. Great view from front deck and nice seating area around to the rear of that deck. Pool was greatly enjoyed by the grandchildren, especially. While we did encounter a couple of issues at first. They were quickly resolved. Very attentive owner who strives to make your stay wonderful. Hope to come back in the future.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Star of the Sea. Plenty of room for 6 adults and two children. The well-stocked kitchen with island allowed for two people to prepare meals. The pool was large enough for us all to play and swim in. Beach access was so convenient. The true star was the view from the front balcony. Another covered porch looks out over the pool. Owner was very accommodating and helpful, replying to questions quickly. Bedrooms are good size. Two bunk beds in one room, with its own bathroom. Spacious master has king bed and own en suite. The other bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. One of those bedrooms has glass panel French doors (with light curtains) that inhibits privacy in that room a bit. Holden Beach maintains a ‘residential’ atmosphere that contributes to a relaxing vacation. We will return to this house and would recommend to our friends and families.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood surrounding Star of the Sea at Holden Beach is a picturesque embodiment of coastal charm and family-friendly relaxation. What I enjoy most about this area is its perfect balance of convenience and serenity. The house's close proximity to the Holden Beach bridge is a strategic advantage, especially during peak seasons, allowing for easy travel and avoidance of traffic.

The beach itself exudes a laid-back, family-oriented atmosphere, and Star of the Sea is situated right in the heart of it. The location is ideal – it’s close enough to walk to local restaurants, yet the house is strategically placed on a corner lot, offering a sense of privacy and exclusivity. This setting creates a perfect backdrop for family outings or leisurely strolls to nearby dining spots.

One of the property's highlights is its pool area, an idyllic spot to spend a lazy afternoon basking in the sun or cooling off in the water, especially after a day spent on the sandy shores. This outdoor oasis adds to the home’s appeal, providing a private retreat for relaxation and fun.

The decks of the house are another feature that enhances the living experience. They are perfect for hosting gatherings, whether it's an evening of entertaining friends, enjoying a sunset dinner, or sipping cocktails as the day transitions into a balmy summer night. These decks offer not just a space for socializing but also spectacular views that make every moment special.

Overall, Star of the Sea offers the perfect blend of vistas and tranquility. It's a place where the soothing rhythms of the beach life are felt in every corner, from the gentle sea breezes to the soft sounds of waves in the distance. It's more than just a location; it's a lifestyle – relaxed, enjoyable, and deeply connected to the natural beauty of Holden Beach.

What makes this property unique

Star of the Sea at Holden Beach stands out for its exceptional beachfront views, rare in the area due to its advantageous position beside an empty lot. This unique setting offers guests a full, unobstructed vista of the Atlantic Ocean, creating a serene and picturesque backdrop for your stay.

The property's proximity to a close beach access adds to its appeal, allowing for easy and quick trips to the shore. Situated on a corner lot, it provides a tranquil environment, perfect for leisurely strolls away from the main roads, enveloping guests in the peaceful ambiance of the beachside community. Walking distance to many of the island's attractions and close enough to avoid the traffic with easy access on/off the island.

Moreover, Star of the Sea excels in its entertainment spaces. It features a large pool and expansive deck space, both offering breathtaking views. These areas are ideal for lively gatherings or quiet evenings soaking in the stunning oceanic panorama. The combination of its unique beachfront perspective, ease of beach access, serene location, and vibrant entertaining spaces makes this property a distinctive and sought-after destination at Holden Beach.
