Golden on Holden is located in the prime island community of Oceanside. It sits on a corner cul-de-sac lot which adds additional privacy and fast access to the adjacent boardwalk that leads to the beach and clubhouse. 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 multiple more just across the bridge on the mainland. Additionally, a grocery store, pharmacy, and local stores are a short drive away.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
June, July, and August are high season in Holden Beach. Booking in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
Hosts sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and choose the best Cape Fear area rental:

First and foremost, have your group commit to dates and a spending budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Spacious family home with private beachfront pool and clubhouse has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

During your stay:

Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did your family have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
