The home has all the space you need including an inverted floor plan with over 5,000 square feet, 8 bedrooms, 9.5 baths, elevator, multiple upsized wraparound decks, and striking one-of-a-kind ocean and inlet vistas. Bordering the property is a 24-acre natural preserve -- a really exclusive surrounding. This resort property includes refreshed furnishings, linens (bed linens included), appliances, and décor.

NEW FOR 2024 SEASON: Renovated game room including ping pong table and pool table, in home double laundry with 2 new washer/dryer stacked units, new floor on middle floor, new interior painting throughout, artificial turf installed in back yard including 3-hole putting green. This really creates an amazing outdoor space for all to savor.

This enormous family-friendly and immaculate home features an inverted floor plan that includes a gourmet kitchen, huge living room, two dining areas and two master bedrooms on the top floor. Both master bedrooms are cavernous and have ocean and intracoastal waterway vistas and huge en suite bathrooms. The kitchen has bespoke granite countertops, tile backsplash, new appliances, constructed-in commercial refrigerator double ovens, and is well-outfitted with every gadget, modest appliance, and utensil needed to prepare huge meals or accommodate take-out from any of the many eateries on the island. The living room includes new furnishings with a sizable flat-screen tv, expansive ocean vistas, bar area with a constructed-in ice maker and wine refrigerator that spills over to a sizable covered veranda.

The second floor includes 6 bedrooms each with their own attached bathroom. A second living room with a large TV and pull out sleeper couch is a ideal hangout space for kids or adults. The utility room on this floor includes a front-load washer and dryer, and laundry/utility sink. The ground floor includes a two-car garage and game room complete with pool table, ping pong table, and a secondary full-size refrigerator for additional cold food and drink storage. The game room leads directly out to the broad pool deck and is the ideal entertainment space.

The 3/4 acre grounds include lush landscaping, over 70 enormous palm trees, fenced yard, and a backyard getaway with a large deck ideal for calming by the saltwater pool and hot tub, grilling dinner or appreciating the afternoon sun and warm nighttime breeze. The pool home includes a full bath -- a great convenience for coming off the beach. The expansive vistas from any of the 6 porches are unlike any vistas of the ocean and intracoastal waterways on the island. Walk along the lighted catwalk down to the beach which is very secluded; or appreciate the beachfront gazebo. The home is one of the last properties on the west end of the island and is extremely private and peaceful.

We do not offer weddings or other special events at the property.

Holden Beach is a peaceful, family-friendly beach recognized as a top beach by USA Today and a top-10 beach by National Geographic Traveler’s Magazine. There are no hotels or high-rise complexes, just family owned cottages. Holden Beach is part of the barrier island chain in southeastern NC and is also located roughly 35 miles from Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC -- making trips for shopping, eating and entertaining very convenient. Holden Beach is also well-located for 30 area golf courses.

We appreciate our “home away from home,” and our family has spent many years enjoying all that Holden has to offer. We would appreciate for you to choose to spend your vacation time at our property. Renting directly from the owner may be new to you (through Vacation Rental By Owner), but we enjoy helping our renters plan the ideal vacation and that will exceed your expectations.

Strategies to get the optimal Brunswick area vacation property experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing and booking the bestvacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Amazing Oceanfront Resort has 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area beach you crave, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
