About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 2 Bedrooms
• 3 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

RECENTLY RENOVATED with new floor, rugs, carpets and trim painting throughout.

Freshly Painted exterior, including all decks and railings.

Very little actual carpeting, easier to keep clean.

Striking, two-level, luxury, duplex home located on peaceful street at "The Family Beach." Ideal for one, two, or three couples, modest families.

Fantastic vistas from 4 decks. Backs up to marshland, Intercoastal Waterway - watch the boats go by from the multi-level back decks. Half block from beach with semi-private access (no public access there means less crowd)- undeveloped tons in front provide for great ocean vistas and sounds. See the ocean and listen to the waves crash as you relax on either of the two front decks. All decks are furnished, newly painted/stained, matted for cooling and lower decks and patio provide shade if desired.

Light colors and picture windows on three of four walls give great bright and open feel, very sunny. We freshly refreshed the Master bedroom with new twin beds that convert to a King if desired. Families seem to appreciate the flexibility.

On the right day you will see one of the most handsome sunsets imaginable off of our back decks.

Updated, Florida Villa style decorations. Cozy furnishings, breakfast bar, vaulted ceilings, well equipped kitchen are a few living features. Dining and breakfast bar seats seven for meals.

Three TVs (36 inch big screen in living room, wall-mounted flat screen 20 inch in master, 32 in intelligent TV in guest), complimentary wifi, DVD, cd player and digital cable provide in-home entertainment options.

Enormous backyard, Bar-B-Que/picnic area. Paved cement patio, driveway and under-home (on pilings) parking for multiple cars/boat. A newly modernized outdoor shower and changing area are available for cleaning up the family after the beach.

Full weeks only during summer. Nightly units available (minimum stay) in offseason or last-min. during high-season if vacant, please feel complimentary to e-mail, we are very busy but will get back to you.

Holden has a variety of restaurant options, boutique shopping and world class golf within a few miles. It is very unique in that there are many entertainment, dining, recreation and shopping optons on one side of the "big bridge", while the island itself across the bridge is mainly homes, peaceful and relaxing. It is the peaceful hideaway many are looking for, with the amenities to make it delightful right there as well.

Boat, jet-ski units available at HB Marina. Fishing and crabbing areas readily available.

We appreciate our "home away from home" and think you will too. We have traveled all over the world and find Holden to be the best beach anywhere for a calming, peaceful, courteous coastal vacation.

Please see renter feedback/comments and contact us with any concerns. We are very simple to work with and understand that this non-traditional rental situation (directly from owner) is new to some, we are confident you will be pleased with the experience.

Additional photos available upon request.

Savor, Eric and Jamie.

Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose your vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Holden Beach Luxury Dunes Home.....Quiet, Unobstructed ICW Views has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or may be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
