About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 3 Bedrooms

• 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.

Sensational, 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, freshly 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 newly 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 beautiful 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.

Giant backyard, BBQ/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 peaceful. 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 adore 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.

Appreciate, Eric and Jamie.

Strategies for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home & When to go:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Cape Fear area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Holden Beach Luxury Dunes Home.....Quiet, Unobstructed ICW Views has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If they are not listed, call the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your contract.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
