About this property

The Tern Inn is the perfect way to spend your vacation with family or friends.

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 and 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 handicap equipped homes on the island with an elevator for easy accessibility 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 (ok, 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.

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!

Terrific option in Holden Beach

Great house - really suitable for our group of six. - Elevator was SO helpful for loading/unloading & essential for one of us who can't do stairs. - Open LR/DR/kitchen layout terrific & really functional. - Plenty of seating space in the living room & at the kitchen table. - There are not just one but 3 card tables & 4 chairs - we happily used them for jigsaw puzzles. - Second refrigerator on the street level beside the elevator also VERY helpful for our group. - The kitchen has just about every pot, pan, or utensil that you might need, including knives, wine openers, a blender, etc. Great lighting & large counter spaces as well as a pantry waiting to be filled. We had luck with the spices left there, too. - One thing that's maddening about some beach houses is the requirement that you make your own beds when you arrive. This is one of those. I get it - the window between 10 am departure times & 4 pm arrival times is brief & universal for most houses on the beach. But no. Just no. - Many windows in the house will not open. Even if they did, there are no screens for the windows or doors so flies are an issue. - Bring a second coffee pot as the only one available is very small and pretty old. - Recycling center 12 minutes away. All that said, it was a wonderful week with friends and we will be back!
