About this property

Beautiful Oceanfront Home with Elevator

Formerly known as Tern Inn, We have new owners but our property management is the same. To book this property, please see our new listing BYRDS EYE VIEW. Listing #4587897,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This beautiful, pet-friendly, 2-story home was created with your family and friends in mind. We have a custom-made, ten foot dining table that easily seats 14, two separate sitting rooms with cable television, DVD players and private baths attached to each of the four bedrooms. We have over 35 windows that offer beautiful views of the ocean or intracoastal waterway so you can relax and enjoy the view from anywhere in the house.

We are also one of the few homes on the island with an elevator for easy accessibility from all floors and a full-size handicap bathroom with fully equipped shower.

You will fall instantly in love with rocking in the chairs on the back deck while taking in the breathtaking views of the ocean that have made Holden Beach one of the most popular family beaches around.

We have stocked our home to help you forget about the busyness of life and fall in love with kicking off your shoes and getting back in touch with fun and relaxation. We offer a library of books for your vacation reading downtime and boogie boards & sand toys for the kids (okay, the adults too). You can even come straight off the beach to the private outdoor shower and picnic area on the carport level.

We love our beach house and we think you will too. For larger families or groups, consider renting our additional oceanfront property 'Sandcastle' (VRBO # 442909) next door.

Happy family

We fell in love with this house! It was perfect for my mom, my kids, and myself. We will definitely be back. My mom’s right leg had to be amputated above the knee last year, and this house was accessible to her.

The kitchen had anything you could possibly need, and having an elevator was such a plus when we arrived and departed! Debbie was very quick to respond to any questions or needs. Thank you for this wonderful property to make family memories!!

Holden Beach House Delight

The pictures of the interior of this home don’t represent it well. The entire home has been upgraded. New mattresses, new couches, fully upgraded kitchen and a very updated beach theme throughout the home. The house is stunning and made us feel at home right away. The overall cleanliness of the house needs improvement. One of the bathrooms wasn’t cleaned at all and there wasn’t a whole lot of cleaning supplies to get it done. We paid for the linens and towels but 1 towel each is not going to get it done for a regular size family staying 7 days. Overall we would definitely come back and stay there again! I’m sure they can fix the cleaning service they use and supply more towels for their guests.

Family Beach Trip

This was the perfect stay for our family vacation. The location was awesome for the baby and a family member with a disability. Plus our two dogs loved it. Luckily there is a public beach access right beside the house that made it very easy to get the beach cart out!

Beautiful spot at Holden Beach for our family!

We had a wonderful visit and were able to truly relax at the beach in a family friendly environment. The elevator made it accessible for our 2 family members with mobility concerns and the bedrooms and bathrooms were well situated for our needs, including a handicapped bathroom. I recommend this beautiful spot.

You found your beach house! Look no further!!

What a great house! TV’s all flat screens, living room and dining room is huge and a great place with the ocean outside. Porch is amazing, there are 5 (!) bathrooms! An elevator, and the public access right next to house is a ramp, so you can get to the beach without a single step! I have rented. Number of houses, and this was the best by a long shot! Owner is very responsive, place was clean and has everything you need!!

Repeat seasonal rental

The property is great. Enough bedrooms and baths for all of us to have privacy and communal areas are large enough for us to have room to spread out. We always enjoy our stay. The kite flying right on the beach facing the house was great and the little pups (chihuahua & yorkie) loved their walks on the beach!

We loved the house & convenience of elevator. We had lots of room for family to be together. The negatives were roaches, only warm water in downstairs bathroom, carpet runners full of sand & sand on dressers.

Great Place to Relax

The Tern Inn was a great beach front vacation home. Plenty of room for our family and the deck provided sun and shade. Our fur babies also enjoyed the deck an early morning beach walks. Tern Inn was convenient to restaurants and activities of interest to us. My favorite activity was relaxing on that deck. We had a issue with the HVAC and the property owner was very prompt in resolving the issue We would definitely book the Tern Inn again.

Amazing!

We booked this house because it’s oceanfront, as we had not been to the ocean in quite some time, and wanted to enjoy it to the fullest. The other main reason was the handicap access and elevator, for my disabled dad. The house was great for our needs. And let’s not forget to talk about the awesome view! It was so great to be able to see and hear the ocean all day. The town is great, very family oriented…not a bunch if riff raff like you’d see in other towns. Just all around a great, relaxing experience! Thank you so much!
