About this property

LOCATION / LOCATION / LOCATION !!!

The house is located at the West end of the Island where it is less crowded and more private. If you want a wide, clean, pristine, peaceful beach that gives your family space, away from the crowds at high tide, then you are going to LOVE staying at this location in Holden Beach!!! Also, there is little traffic on the main road at this end of the Island, so it is more peaceful and more quiet at night.

CHANGES FOR 2024 SEASON:
In 2021 we had (10) out of our (11) reviews were 5-STAR reviews!
With my wife’s cancer, I acknowledge that the house was not to its typical standard the last two Seasons.
So a lot of changes, improvements and upgrades were made for the 2024 season.
1. Most importantly the cleaning company has been replaced with an amazing new cleaning company (a family business). We have already had a very positive response.
2. Bathrooms have been updated (see photos).
3. Brand new, large refrigerator for 2024 (see photo)
4. All walls repainted or touched up.
5. Other miscellaneous updates throughout the house.
All photos are recent so what everything you see in the photos is exactly what you get when you arrive.

Give your family memories of a vacation on the ocean in this peaceful, relaxing and charming coastal seaside cottage. Nice wide beach, even at high tide, unlike other areas on NC Islands due to erosion!

The Photo of the Beach with the Green umbrella was taken in front of our house in April when the Island is especially peaceful!

AMAZING BEACH at this particular ideal location!

LOVE THIS HOUSE!! VERY clean, comfortable beachy home in a very peaceful location!!! We'll be back

When we walked into the house, we knew immediately we were in Love with this House!!! The first thing I noticed was the open floorplan, the beautiful beachy décor, all the wonderful natural sunlight from all the windows, the pretty colors…all so inviting. Then we walked out to the Oceanfront deck my husband and I were in awe. We were both so happy that this would be our vacation!!! As time passed, I noticed more and more how clean the whole house was, which I fully appreciated because I am a clean freak. The housecleaners had done a wonderful job! The furniture and house was in good condition. The refrigerator and appliances seem to be new. The bathrooms are very attractive and updated. The longer we stayed the more we really appreciated all the spaciousness of the living area, dining area, bedrooms, and also the comfortable beds and furniture! This house is an older design on the street side but you wouldn’t know it from the inside. And the location is amazing. I can’t say enough compliments about the house because we loved it!. The owner was very kind to call us on day 2 to make sure everything was OK. We had no complaints at all. This was our first time in Holden Beach. We only vacation in NC every other year but we WILL definitely be back! My only regret is that we couldn’t stay another week.

Great location. Quiet and comfortable and just steps away from the beach. We rested, relaxed, ate good, took long walks on the beach and enjoyed the view from the porch. Loved watching deer and rabbits from the porch.

Quiet location

The house was spacious upstairs. We liked the open floor plan. We did not need to use the two rooms in the basement but they seemed spacious. Kitchen was well equipped compared to others we have stayed in at Holden. This is an older home. There is wear, especially in the primary bath. We ended up using the hall bath instead as it had an exhaust fan. Be aware that this home has very steep and narrow stairs from the lower level to upper. Was a little challenging for me and could be for anyone with a mobility issue, Beach location is great. At this time there is a good sized dune that you have to go down and climb up to access and return from the beach. I would advise bringing your own linens as the owner is very specific about charging fees for any type of staining from makeup, skincare products, etc on the linens provided. We always bring our own so this was not an issue for us. You may want to bring your own dish towels too as there are none provided. Make sure you get the rental agreement the owner requires when you book. VRBO did not send it and I ended up having to review and sign it the night before we were to check in which was not fun. I think that the agreement should be made available to read before you ask to book the property. The property has plenty of room if you have a big family. The volleyball area is nice for kids. Two tables for dining gives lots of room for games and puzzles. A small gas grill is provided which was very useful for us.

Nice boardwalk to the beach

This beach house has an open floor plan and large bedrooms which was great for our large family gathering. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of pots, pans, dishes and utensils. We enjoyed the covered deck area with benches and rocking chairs. Could've used some side tables. The house is showing its age and there are things that need to be updated and or replaced, including furniture pieces with plastic covers that are cracked and sharp which led to cuts and scrapes of hands and legs. The blinds have broken slats and multiple lights don't work even after changing light bulbs. We did enjoy the beach and no crowds!

About the host

Hosted by Don

About the owner: Our family has been spending summer vacations on the East Coast since the very early 1900's when our Great Grandfather took my Grandfather as a boy down to the barrier Islands off the Eastern seaboard. Sadly, as much as all the older generations LOVED the shore, they were never able to afford to buy a house there. My Grandfather had the opportunity to 'buy' a lot on an Island for $200 in the early 1900's, but in his own words; 'that was too much money' back then...he couldn't afford it...he grew up in the great depression. We need to remind ourselves that we are a very blessed generation to have been able to finally buy a Beach House. It still took a lot of sacrifices and it is not easy, but we know it brings a lot of joy to a lot of people...not just us. We have a young 'special-needs' boy, and there is no greater feeling than watching his face when he is at the Beach! We are sure this will bring many fond memories to your Children... if you can simply put down the cell phone, computer and remote while you are here and just enjoy being with your family at the Ocean!

Why they chose this property

Why the Owner Chose Holden Beach, NC, USA:
Our Father loved boating and the Ocean. He wanted to buy a house on the NC Coast and retire there. My parents had visited and traveled the entire East coast over their lifetime. But they fell in love with the North Carolina Coast. They had just started taking trips there to determine which Island they wanted to buy on. Sadly, two weeks later after making his last trip there, he passed away...at the young age of 54. In 2003, after years of just thinking about it, I decided I wanted to purchase a house on the NC Coast...a place where I could re-live a lot of the memories my Father had given us on the coast. I started taking trips to every Island and every town up and down the NC Coast. Upon doing so, there was no question that Holden Beach really caught my eye. 'In my eyes'... it was the most natural, most peaceful, pristine Island of all of them (other than the National Seashore areas which of course you cant build on). There is no commercialism, no condominiums, no signs, no over-building, no crowds...just quiet, natural barrier Island in all its natural beauty. It has pristine beaches with very clean, warm water. When the Realtor gave me the keys to the house for sale before I purchased it, I sat on the Oceanfront deck for over 4 hours before I brought her keys back...I simply didn't want to leave!
The Ocean is fairly shallow and clean. The architecture on the Island is a mix of sandcastles, medium-size houses with very pretty architecture and small, older cottages. There is maritime foliage and a sidewalk/bike path that runs almost the entire length of the Island to take it all in. The beauty of the West end is how quiet it is...very few cars.
Just off the island as you come off the bridge onto the mainland is where the stores are...a very nice Grocery Store (Food Lion), Walgreens Drugstore, Restaurants/Dining of all sorts, Ice cream stands, a water-slide park, miniature golf, gift shops, gas station and more.

What makes this property unique

The Unique Benefits at this House:
Clean, warm, shallow Ocean water with expansive, pristine white sandy Beaches!!! Pure Nature at it's best! The Island runs East to West allowing views of both the sunrises and sunsets.
