About this property
Stunning Oceanfront Home with Elevator
Welcome to BYRDS EYE VIEW II. Formerly known as Tern Inn, property #443639, with over 100 5-star reviews and premiere host status for over 10 years!!
We have new owners but our property management is the same. I look forward to helping you create a wonderful, memorable vacation!
This stunning, pet-friendly, oceanfront home was thoughtfully designed with families and friends in mind. Gather around our custom-built 10-foot dining table that comfortably seats 10 and island seating for 4 more — ideal for shared meals, laughter, and making memories.
With two spacious sitting rooms, each equipped with Smart TV/Roku players, and four beautifully appointed bedrooms (most with a private bath), also with Smart TV/Roku players, there's plenty of room for everyone to relax in comfort. Over 35 windows throughout the home showcase breathtaking views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, filling the space with light and coastal beauty.
We are proud to be one of the few homes on Holden Beach offering an elevator for easy access to every floor, plus a large accessible bathroom with a wheelchair accessible shower — ensuring all guests can enjoy their stay with ease.
You’ll fall in love with the simple pleasure of rocking in the chairs on the back deck and soaking in the panoramic ocean views that have made Holden Beach one of the East Coast’s most beloved family destinations.
Our home is stocked to help you forget the busyness of everyday life and embrace carefree beach living. Enjoy a library of books for leisurely vacation reading, and find boogie boards, beach cruiser bicycles and sand toys ready for the kids and adults alike! After a day at the beach, rinse off in the private outdoor shower and unwind in the shaded picnic area under the home.
We love our beach house and believe you will too. Come kick off your shoes, slow down, and savor every moment in paradise!
We offer optional provisions of bed and bath linens but these are strictly up to you.

The host was wonderful. It was my first time using VBRO and she was very helpful and patient. We throughly enjoyed ourselves in the beautiful home. Bedrooms were roomy and the kitchen was fantastic with everything we needed to do our Thanksgiving dinner. The elevator and the handicap bathroom was the best for my 91 year old father who enjoy his stay tremendously. Thank you for letting us enjoyed the sun, the ocean, the house and especially the family time.Happy Thanksgiving and a blessed Christmas season to you all.
Clean and roomy for grandparents and family. Excellent kitchen. Close to the beach for she'll looking and treasure hunting. We have be her several years and will definitely come back!

So glad you guys had a great time on your vacation and loves our home. We look forward to having you back with us again!
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.

William, I am so glad you all stayed with us this year and that the house worked well for your mother. Hope to see you back again next year and thanks for leaving it so clean. :)
We so enjoyed our stay! Love all the windows! This home is beautiful, and the views are amazing. 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!!

It was so great having you with us!!! So look forward to having y’all back again. 😊
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.

Thanks so much for staying with us and taking the time to give a review. We hope you guys will be back with us again!!
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!
We loved our stay! Plenty of room, easy to get to the beach - had everything we needed! Debbie was great answering all of our questions! Loved it so much we booked it again for next year!

Absolutely loved having you all with us this year!! So glad that you are making our little slice of heaven an annual vacation!
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house in Holden Beach, very much. We founded everything we needed to be very comfortable. The rockers on the porch, over looking the ocean, was a favorite place to gather. We would love to stay there again!

About the host
Hosted by Debbie Leggett
A native of the Carolinas, I have been enjoying Holden Beach for over 30 years. While much has changed and grown, one thing remains the same — it’s still one of the best beaches in North Carolina! Ranked #1 by Coastal Living magazine. Once you visit, you will quickly see why.
My children grew up coming here, and we continue to enjoy the beautiful beach and the wonderful community. Holden Beach is a family-oriented destination, thoughtfully preserved and designed to welcome families of all kinds.
