Beautiful family vacation home located between the Intracoastal Waterway and the beach in a great neighborhood. Well stocked kitchen with everything you'll need to make your meals. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Linens and towels are provided for 11. The beds will already be made when you arrive so you don't have to waste precious vacation time making beds.

Take a 4 minute stroll to the beach with access via the private community walkway over the dunes to the sand and surf (no steps to navigate!). Smart TVs in every bedroom and common rooms to keep everyone entertained when not enjoying the spectacular setting. Ground level storage space for your beach gear, a large outdoor shower with hot and cold water, a picnic table, a hammock, and a gas grill are all provided. Family memories are just waiting to be made here.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Brady
Mike and Becky have always loved vacationing at the beaches of North Carolina. They would spend at least a week each year plus a few weekends renting various homes with their families. After dreaming about a beach place of their own for many years, they found just what they were looking for at 123 By the Sea in Holden Beach.
Why they chose this property
Carefree By the Sea offers both beach and Intracoastal Waterway access! There's a short, 3 or 4 minute walk to a private neighborhood walkway over the dunes to the beautiful beach. And just out the front door is the private neighborhood pier out to the Waterway. There is an observation platform with benches at the midpoint and benches and a floating dock at the end.
What makes this property unique
Two separate covered front porches look out over the marsh to the Intracoastal Waterway. A screened porch in the back is perfect for relaxing in late afternoons while the sun sets.
