About the host
Hosted by Byron Ritter
Our parents built this house in 1979. They lived in it from 1991 until 2008. The house and property is well maintained. The house is now owned by the three brother's families. We live in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. We vacation in our house each year, so we know what is expected for a vacation home. We appreciate constructive suggestions for improvements from our guests. We encourage repeat guests.
Why they chose this property
For 2023 we added a new sofa, light downstairs on beach side for night outside grilling, new 55" Smart HD TV in living area. In 2022 we added new end tables in living area. We have a new dining room table and chairs. We added 2 rockers on the beach side porch. In 2021 we added new storm doors, flood lights on each corner of the house, stained the porches and outside shower, added vanity and medicine cabinet in downstairs bathroom. We replaced the vinyl siding and windows in 2019. We covered the front yard with gravel for easy and comfortable walking (2018). No sandspurs! We have new premium mattresses and box springs on all four queen size beds. This property is a great location for walking to the beach or the inland water way. You can see both the ocean and the water way from the porches. The ocean is only a short 5-minute walk from the house. There is a private walkway over the dunes we help maintain that is part of the walk over to the beach. We make several improvements every year. Short walk to on the beach restaurants and Holden Beach Concert Series
Join us on Sunday evenings from 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. for live entertainment. The concerts
are held at the Pavilion under the Holden Beach bridge. Call 910-842-6488 for more information.

What makes this property unique
We have an enclosed downstairs with outside and inside showers downstairs. There is room for two cars in the enclosed downstairs bumper to bumper. The enclosed downstairs keeps your vehicle clean and prevents salt air covering your vehicle. You can have dinner downstairs great for hosting neighbors. We have charcoal grill provided.
June through August are all 7-day rentals Saturday to Saturday. We help maintain a private walkway over the dunes at the end of Boyd St. That provides a 5-minute walk to the beach or waterway. We have a picnic table on the downstairs porch beach side. This provides privacy and outside enjoyment for your meal. We have added a beachside downstairs light for night outside grilling.
