Sip your morning coffee on the porch swing while watching the waves meet the shore and experience total serenity.

Make a splash in the private pool or watch as your cares melt away in the Carolina sun while calming on the pool deck! Savor al fresco dinners prepared on the gas grille by the pool. Or enjoy a drink and the sunset around the gas fireplace table during the chillier months! The only thing that competes with the attractiveness of the outside of this home is inside! The open-flow concept of the kitchen, dining, and living areas offers striking vistas of the surrounding scenery. There are literally vistas from every window that showcase the beauty of Holden Beach.

Natural light and coastal chic decor are generous throughout this gorgeous home. In the cavernous kitchen, you will find everything needed to prepare your gourmet fresh catch.

Just up the stairs, you will see your new favorite lounge area in the loft that overlooks even more spectacular vistas through the soaring windows of the great room.

The walk to the beach is a breeze. You can either access the beach from the public access across from the entrance to the Dunescape community (Dunescape Drive) or use the Dunescape community boardwalk. This boardwalk can be accessed by taking a right at the end of the driveway onto Windswept Way and following the street to where it intersects with Serenity Lane. The boardwalk is across from the intersection between 2 homes and leads to the beach strand. The Dunescape community also provides a community pool, tennis courts, a basketball court, a sand volleyball court, and beach access from the clubhouse. There is plenty of parking to enjoy these amenities if you decide to drive your car, rent a golf cart, or even take a leisurely walk.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Brunswick area vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Holden Beach. To get the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Brunswick area attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. New to the market, \"Carolina Pearl\" offers incredible inlet views and a heatable private pool. has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
