About this property

SECOND ROW W/ DEEDED BEACH ACCESS ; AWESOME OCEAN AND MARSH INLET VIEWS!

This Second Row recently updated house has an inverted floor plan, meaning the family room, dining, kitchen, and Master (King sized bed) are on the topmost floor so the views can be maximized. There is plentiful dining seating as well as a kitchen with every tool a cook can think to use, if one enjoys cooking meals for the family at the beach. At the entry level one will find a welcoming sitting room, a King bedroom with a shared Jack and Jill bathroom (tub shower) that opens to a bedroom with two twin beds. Also, there is a bunk room for the kids, with two bunk beds and an adjoining private bathroom (shower with detachable shower spray). The washer and dryer are on this level under the staircase. HD cable and a flat screen TV with a soundbar and subwoofer speakers are provided in the family room TV for movie nights, and all the Roku stick enabled TV's have access to HDTV with the Spectrum app. Netflix and Amazon Prime are also provided for free streaming. Excellent Wifi coverage. Deeded beach access is three houses over and across the street.
The under-the-house storage room is fully stocked with a Weber charcoal grill, as well as beach toys and games, chairs, umbrellas, body boards, as well as a cart to tote them on. The foot shower is conveniently located near the front steps for rinsing off sand before entering the house; and for those who enjoy bathing in the fresh air, there is an enclosed outside shower, sink, and changing area.
The beach is not crowded since only ocean front and second row houses share this stretch of sand.
Holden Beach is a family friendly beach where you will find houses and a handful of condos. Enjoy watching the baby turtles hatch in August, or catch a wave with the body boards. Grab dinner at several nearby restaurants, or plan an outing to Myrtle or Wilmington, both only an hour away, and then come back to enjoy the peace and quiet Holden welcomes you with once you cross over that magical curved bridge onto the island. Leave your cares behind and take a deep breath. This is a place to rest. While we provide much of what you need for your stay, please note we do not provide sheets and towels. Check the amenities section.

Since the house is vacant much of the time, security cameras are in use outside the house, but they are turned off once guests have arrived safely and the guest limit has been confirmed.

Great beach house

We enjoyed staying in this home! The layout of the house was nice for our family and very comfortable. It was also nice to be able to use the beach chairs and umbrellas for the short walk to the beach. The host is great, and very quick to reply to any questions!

Best house on Holden Beach

We have come back to the blue house many times and have concluded that it is the BEST on Holden Beach. It is rare to find a house with enough space, with such comfort and be so close to beach access. We love the decks and the view of the marsh (especialy the kitchen window). We love the comfortable beds- the comfortable couches. The modern TV. The kitchen is fully stocked, with sharp knives, a blender, etc. The beach access is a very short walk- and there are chairs and boogie boards for us to use. Saralee takes care of her guests with kindness and QUICK response time. We can't wait to go back!! Thank you, Saralee, for a wonderful vacation and lasting Holden Beach memories.

Our family (parents and young adult children) just had a perfect week! Saralee is a pleasure to work with. Her communication was always on time, with all specific details included, so that we felt perfectly at home. She is so well organized.. Everything in the house was perfectly sorted. The cupboards in the kitchen are labelled, which makes for finding utensils much easier. The keyless entry which Saralee remotely-programmed was very helpful..The beach chairs are in good condition, which helped reduce our car-load. The location is very nice. While on second row, the private beach access only is a couple of minutes away. Very convenient.We truly had a great week. Everyone in our party left hoping that we can be back in the future. Thank you Saralee!

Family trip

We had a great week at Holden beach. My parents, my family and my sister's family stayed together and we had just enough room for everyone and still personal space when we needed it. The house is well stocked with kitchen supplies and there were lots of beach supplies provided as well!

Ocean and Marsh Views

Amazing views on the upper floor, where the kitchen and living area are. The kitchen bay window makes cooking, and cleaning up, fun as you look out to the intercoastal waterway over the marsh. We enjoyed watching sunsets on the lower deck, catching the beach breeze on the extended area. Plenty of beach provisions and toys in the storage area add to the fun of the short walk to the beach.

Wonderful week at the beach

We had a great stay at this house on Holden Beach with family. Very clean and great set up with the floor plan for 2 families. Beautiful sunset views from the back porch and very easy access to beach. Very clean and has a stocked kitchen of everything you will need. Will definitely keep on our list for future stays at Holden!!

Perfect for our family vacation!

This was a great spot to stay, not too far from the beach access which made transporting the beach supplies easy. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and the house was very clean on our arrival. There was a great stash of beach gear including sand toys, chairs and games. The owners were very helpful and responded very quickly when contacted. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great place!

The house was really nicely equipped for our family’s beach trip. We loved all the beach gear, games, and TV setup. The owner was super nice and communicative. The beach access was easy and convenient. We have also stayed at places owned and managed by companies, and this was so much warmer of an experience.

Loved it again!

This was our second time staying this house with Saralee as our hostess. We love the location with proximity to beach access. The beach is uncrowded because the access is limited. The house is perfectly equipped for our wants and needs, with plenty of beach gear, games, books, etc. Now that so many Holden houses are owned by rental companies, which can feel so impersonal and like they’re squeezing you for cash, it’s even more refreshing to bring our family to a place run by a family.

A terrific beach week. Exactly what the family needed. Saralee was terrific helping us to have a great experience. The view on the back deck was so peaceful. The kitchen was very well equipped allowing us to have fun cooking lots of meals together. The short walk to the beach was easy because the house had beach carts and chairs to use.

About the host

Hosted by Saralee

Host profile image
Our family has enjoyed many reunions with aunts, uncles and cousins over the past few years, and have kept the house only for personal use. Now we want to share our little piece of Paradise as our families are older and not able to get together as often anymore. Make this the place where your family builds wonderful memories, as ours has and will continue to do.

Why they chose this property

The views off the back upstairs porch are lovely, and the way the house is situated on the lot, it feels private even though we have neighbors. When I sit at the head of the dining table, I can see the ocean out the front windows and a sweeping marsh and inlet view from the side and back windows. Sometimes we see deer in the marsh at low tide.

What makes this property unique

There is a Food Lion Grocery store within a ten minute drive, as well as a Walgreens Pharmacy. Nearby Dozier's Gym offers daily and weekly memberships, and thrift store shopping turns up some real treasures. Shallotte is the nearest town with more dining options and a Walmar, and a new shopping center with a Marshall's, Hobby Lobby, Ulta, and numerous other stores. Also, there are several golf courses nearby. A fun family activity is zip-lining the Shallotte River Swamp Park, which is really fun, and partly an eco-tour of the swamp. We love our house for the stunning marsh views, which I never imagined would be as lovely as they are. I have turned it into our home away from home, and I trust you will enjoy it as much as we do. Also if sitting on the beach with a good book is what you want, it is just steps away!
