O Say Can You Sea is located on the west end of the island with a private oceanside swimming pool (open from Easter - October) and an outdoor shower. The second primary suite overlooks the striking Intracoastal & marsh, with an ensuite bathroom including a sizable walk-in shower and dual shower heads.

Unwind on plush couches in the living room, or appreciate the ocean breeze in the polywood furnishings on the pool deck.

You will appreciate the rainhead showers, a first-floor washer & dryer, and southern white rockers for appreciating the front screened-in porch. The second living area on the first floor is ideal for the kids to watch TV & play games. Appreciate the completely outfitted kitchen with two blenders, wine glasses and corkscrews, a crockpot, and plenty of pots/pans/baking sheets. The swimming pool features an extended deck and pergola. There is a sitting niche upstairs overlooking the marsh, which is ideal for curling up with one of the new books or games added to the home.

You'll also find flat-screen TVs in all rooms and high-speed Wi-Fi for your enjoyment. This beautiful beachfront home is near an inlet. The distance between the beach & ocean is subject to change. Due to high tides and forces of nature, tidal pools may exist in natural settings on the island. Oceanfront properties close by are subject to rapid and substantial changes in dune structure & distance to the beach strand.

Embrace the warmth of southern 'Hobbspitality'! Savor a welcome set of starter amenities, including one roll of paper towels, trash bags, laundry and dishwasher pods, dish soap, and a sponge. All bathrooms include one roll of toilet paper, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, makeup wipes, and bar soap. Your beds are made with fresh linens and a lightweight blanket, so you can jump right into making memories rather than making beds! While we provide a lightweight blanket, we urge you to bring additional layers for your comfort. Please note that while top bunk beds, trundles, sleeper couches, futons, and daybeds will not be made, we will provide fresh linens for them.

As a gift to you, this home offers a $250 credit for you to select top-quality beach gear for your vacation stay. You can choose from a range of items including bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, body boards, and more.

Tricks and tips to get the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Holden Beach. Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation home:

• First, have your family decide on vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Hobbs Realty - \"O Say Can You Sea\" the beautiful views from this oceanfront 5 bedroom home with a private pool has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean 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.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
