About this property
SECOND ROW PRIVATE 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. Please note we do not provide linens or bath towels. Bring your own or rent from nearby rentals. 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. Private (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.

About the host
Hosted by Saralee
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!
