Bordering the property is a 24-acre natural preserve -- a really exclusive surrounding. This resort property includes refreshed furnishings, linens (bed linens supplied), appliances, and décor.

NEW FOR 2024 SEASON: Renovated game room including ping pong table and pool table, in home double laundry with 2 new washer/dryer stacked units, new floor on middle floor, new interior painting throughout, artificial turf installed in back yard including 3-hole putting green. This really creates an amazing outdoor space for all to appreciate.

This huge family-friendly and immaculate home features an inverted floor plan that includes a gourmet kitchen, enormous living room, two dining areas and two master bedrooms on the top floor. Both master bedrooms are roomy and have ocean and intracoastal waterway vistas and huge en suite bathrooms. The kitchen has bespoke granite countertops, tile backsplash, new appliances, constructed-in commercial refrigerator double ovens, and is well-outfitted with every gadget, modest appliance, and utensil needed to prepare huge meals or accommodate take-out from any of the many eateries on the island. The living room includes new furnishings with a sizable flat-screen tv, expansive ocean vistas, bar area with a constructed-in ice maker and wine refrigerator that spills over to a sizable covered veranda.

The second floor includes 6 bedrooms each with their own attached bathroom. A second living room with a large TV and pull out sleeper couch is a ideal hangout space for kids or adults. The utility room on this floor includes a front-load washer and dryer, and laundry/utility sink. The ground floor includes a two-car garage and game room complete with pool table, ping pong table, and a secondary full-size refrigerator for additional cold food and drink storage. The game room leads directly out to the broad pool deck and is the ideal entertainment space.

The 3/4 acre grounds include lush landscaping, over 70 enormous palm trees, fenced yard, and a backyard getaway with a large deck ideal for calming by the saltwater pool and hot tub, grilling dinner or appreciating the afternoon sun and warm nighttime breeze. The pool home includes a full bath -- a great convenience for coming off the beach. The expansive vistas from any of the 6 porches are unlike any vistas of the ocean and intracoastal waterways on the island. Walk along the lighted catwalk down to the beach which is very secluded; or savor the beachfront gazebo. The home is one of the last properties on the west end of the island and is extremely private and peaceful.

We do not offer weddings or other special events at the property.

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

Getting the best rental home experience:

When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• To book the largest rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Wilmington, NC attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Amazing Oceanfront Resort has 9 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

During your stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared 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 owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
