The community clubhouse includes an oceanfront swimming pool, private beach access, gated parking, gathering room, bathrooms, and shower facilities. Our huge yard is great for calming in the sun, swinging in the hammock, playing corn hole, and grilling out with family and friends. We provide a charcoal grille for your use.

LOCATION:
Located on a modest barrier island, Holden Beach is located by water on all sides with eight miles of wide open beaches. Holden Beach has kept its timeless appeal and slow-paced lifestyle. There are no stoplights, high rises, or storefronts on the island. Holden Beach was highlighted on the cover of Coastal Living’s 2020 summer magazine as the Finest Beach in North Carolina.

If you want to take a break from the kitchen, Holden Beach offers a variety of eateries that satisfy both your taste buds and your budget. Sample some of the phenomenal, fresh seafood at one of the waterfront grilles. Be sure to try a scoop of homemade ice cream from one of the local hot spots. There are a handful of favorite places to eat on the island for a casual bite to eat, and numerous more just across the bridge on the mainland. Additionally, a grocery store, pharmacy, and local stores are a short drive away.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Spacious family home with private beachfront pool and clubhouse has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

Have a great stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
