Savor a remodeled OCEANFRONT luxury duplex with extraordinary 270 degree south-facing vistas for all day sun on the beach! This family-friendly and immaculate home features an open main level with living/dining space, a refreshed kitchen, and main level queen bedroom. This versatile floor plan includes a 2nd floor with master suite with oceanfront vistas and two additional well-appointed bedrooms. The kitchen features granite countertops, tile backsplash, newer appliances, and is well outfitted with every gadget and utensil needed to prepare sizable meals or accommodate take-out from the many eateries on the island.

Sit on the covered deck and watch the sun rise and set over the shining water. The home is positioned closer to the dunes and ocean than the neighboring homes for unobstructed vistas up and down the island. Watch the kids play on the beach from the deck or the many ocean-view windows in the home.

Appreciate an evening walk on the beach to multiple eateries on the island serving fresh seafood, steaks and invigorating island drinks. Have dessert at the local ice cream shop before heading back for a calming nighttime listing to the ocean surf.

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 appreciating all that Holden has to offer. We would adore 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 appreciate helping our renters plan the ideal vacation and that will exceed your expectations.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Holden Beach vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To get the best value, shift your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Remodeled oceanfront home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area destination you love, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
