Amazing Views Plus Pool & Private Beach Access Make for a Great Family Vacation
WELCOME to “Scotch Bonnet” our newly purchased home here at Holden Beach. It is a second row home with private beach access directly across the street from the house. Holden Beach and this home provided everything we were looking for in a family vacation spot. The sweeping ocean views from inside and outside of the home, private beach access, backyard pool, and immaculately maintained coastal interior will make you feel as if you have found your new favorite place on earth. Sitting in the swing on the porch you feel like you are Ocean Front. The ground floor provides easy access to the backyard pool which is equipped with pool floats and water toys, a surfboard bar, outdoor grill, and plenty of comfortable pool side seating. The house may be entered from the ground level by interior or exterior stairs and/or elevator providing for easy access from the beach or pool. Upon entering the 1st floor, guests will immediately notice the attention to detail in every space. This home was designed to be a true home away from home and is well loved. The main floor boasts 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (2 King Beds, 1 Queen bed) as well as a full laundry area. The upstairs is a open Kitchen/Living/Dining area with all of the amenities one may need as well as beautiful ocean views. It is easy to find your self caught up here watching the dolphins play and/or the pelicans dive for the next meal. The 2nd floor also offers 2 bedrooms (1 queen and 1 bunk room that sleeps 6) 1 jack and jill full bath, and a guest 1/2 bath. The Scotch Bonnet also has 3 decks for your pleasure (2 overlook the beautiful Atlantic and 1 overlooks the pool area). The Scotch Bonnet is located a short distance to the Holden Beach bridge, but far enough away to avoid the traffic. Ice cream, coffee, Intracoastal, tennis/pickleball courts, concerts in the park, turtle watch programs, weekly tie-die shirts for kids/adults, boat/kayak launch are all within walking distance of the home. Additionally a biking/walking path runs most of the island and is located directly in front of the house on Ocean Blvd. There are several local boutiques and surf shops that we frequent. Most of these are located just across the bridge. We recommend checking out Provision Co., Mankins, The Scoop, Mermaid's, Patronie's, Inlet View in Shalotte or Lou Lou's for local eats. Saltwater Shanty and Beaches n' Cream are our choice for local ice cream. There are also several businesses that provide fresh caught seafood and vegetables if you choose to eat in for the night. Lockwood Folly County Club nearby offers golf for the golfers in the family. Additionally, Shallote is only 15 minutes a way and offers several good restaurants and a local arcade/bowling alley. Calabash and Southport are only 30 minutes away by car with many food and shopping choices in quaint beautiful coastal environments. Myrtle Beach and Wilmington are an approximate 45 minute drive. Finally, beach walks always provide sea treasures on Holden and are a favorite activity of our family. Don't forget to leave a message in the mailbox on either the east or west end. You will find Holden offers everything a family wants in a beach getaway, but leaves out all the things you don't.
We look forward to sharing our home with you and your family this season. The pool can be heated fall and spring for an additional fee. The house is 5 bedroom/4.5 bath and sleeps 14 comfortably. We hope you make many memories here and fall in love with "The Scotch Bonnet" just as we have.

We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful Holden Beach property. The private pool was a wonderful touch, and having direct access to the beach made our vacation truly perfect. Everything about our experience was seamless and relaxing—we couldn't have asked for a better getaway!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Holden Beach. Our house was spacious and its pool was wonderful! The quick walk to the beach made our vacation complete.
Our family really enjoyed this vacation house. The house was clean, the kitchen was well stocked with necessities, the extras for the pool and beach were fun, and it was beautifully designed. We have been staying in vacation homes for at least 15 years and this house was one of the nicest we’ve rented.
The house was just right for all of us. The house was perfect for our entire family. we had lovely view of the ocean from the upstairs, easy access to the beach, and the pool was a great place to gather the entire family. We look forward to planning another trip for next year.
This was the perfect property. So close to the beach and great views from the front porch. The space is just beautiful with the perfect room layout. The pool was a great place to relax in the evenings and many a competitive game of basketball was had with the pool hoop. We’ll definitely be staying here in the future.
Loved our stay in Holden Beach. The house was very cute and well decorated. Only thing to be aware of- the kitchen is not well stocked for lots of cooking. But overall we had a great time!
Overall… a great house! Fantastic location! Our only real complaints were that this house was equipped for 12 people. We were provided one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and one roll of paper towel, no trash bags. There were exactly 12 shower towels and only six or seven beach towels. The description should be more specific so you know what to pack or rent while you’re staying there. The furniture had quite a bit of staining and two dining room chair. Legs were broken, but the management company did replace them for us along with one pool lounge chair that was also broken.
The house is lovely! Great location to easily access the beach, which would get very crowded near public beach access but not so much where we were. It was so nice to come back to the pool. The kids had a great time playing basketball in it and the adults enjoyed relaxing in the refreshing water. We did have issues with the refrigerator/freezer. The house manager responded immediately and attempted to have it fixed right away (a part needed ordered for it so not quite fully functional when we left). Overall, it was a wonderful, clean, nicely decorated home that we all enjoyed very much!! If we return to Holden Beach, we would definitely try to get this home again!

Thank you for the review. Hope to have you as guest again. Part came ice maker now working great.
This home is not only beautiful but the location was perfect for our family reunion.
Please note that the elevator is a major problem. We arrived on Sunday and it wasn’t fixed until Wednesday afternoon. So that meant all luggage, coolers and boxes had to be carried up to the third floor. Then on Saturday the elevator was stuck between floors with 2 people who couldn’t exit. So then the elevator was reset but the problem not addressed; however, I didn’t ride it because none of us trusted it. So everything had to be carried downstairs on Sunday. I have been in physical therapy and had to start using my cane again because of the steps and was really limited in my changing of floors. There were several other issues which were frustrating such as no working can opener, no working remote living room fan, broken chair leg, etc. It is a beautiful home that needs a little attention! Sorry to not be more positive because it is just a beautiful home which all of us would want to stay in again if the elevator can be trusted! If you aren’t handicapped and don’t need the elevator, we highly recommend the home.

About the host
Hosted by Carron
The Suddreth family has visited NC and SC beaches for decades. We are blessed with 3 daughters and six beautiful grandchildren and cherish our time together both at home and at beautiful Holden Beach. We have owned a beach vacation home for over 20 years, but in 2020 decided to search for a different atmosphere outside of the hustle bustle crowds of the Myrtle Beach area and we found just what we were looking for in the endearing community of Holden Beach. We have called the NC mountains home all of our life, but now the NC coast holds a special place in our heart as well. Much effort was spent in finding just the right home at Holden and in creating an atmosphere inside the home just as beautiful as the views out of the windows. The Scotch Bonnet was designed and furnished to provide a place for families just like ours to share time, have fun, and relax with each other It is our goal to meticulously maintain our home so that it may be enjoyed for years to come and we trust you will help us achieve this goal. We hope that you fall in love with The Scotch Bonnet and Holden Beach just as we have. Please leave us a review so that others may feel compelled to discover The Scotch Bonnet as well!
Why they chose this property
There's nothing not to love about Holden Beach. Our family visited many NC and SC beaches in search of a perfect beach home ; Holden and this home offered everything we wanted in a vacation property. The Scotch Bonnet offers sweeping ocean views from many rooms and both front porches and is literally seconds to toes in the sand. The pool area is a relaxing retreat for those days when the kiddos need a break from the sand and ocean or for a lazy evening of poolside barbecue. The bright, open, coastal feel of the home is truly an extension of the beach itself. The Scotch Bonnet is walking distance to the Bridge, coffee shop, italian ice/ice cream, summer concert series in the park, basketball/tennis courts, boat and kayak launch, but far enough away to miss the traffic coming on/off the bridge. If your looking for a beautiful family vacation rental in a quaint, friendly beach town, this is the place for you! As a bonus, there are many treasures to find on the beach during your morning or evening stroll and bike paths on Ocean Blvd ( just in front of house) allow for kid friendly bike riding. Come see why The Scotch Bonnet and Holden Beach hold a special place in our hearts! God may have spent a little extra time making his presence evident in this hidden treasure!
