Charming Oceanfront Cottage on Holden Beach - Vacation rental home in Holden Beach, NC

Looking for the best "rocking chair" porch on Holden Beach to appreciate a expansive ocean view, the sound of waves, and cool breezes while you relax and relax? This classic bungalow has all this and much more. The "Mary J" is great for families with comfortable furnishings and an open floor plan. Each of the three bedrooms sleeps two adults and a kid and there is an additional bed on the porch for napping. Open the windows like people used to do to savor ocean breezes or turn on the window air conditioners if needed. Outside areas include a deck overlooking the ocean and space under the home for the kids to play, adults to relax and grille, and the family to picnic. Also downstairs are two showers with hot and cold water and a huge storage room for your beach toys. There is room for parking three cars in the yard in front of the home. The short walk from the home to the beach access is only about 3-4 mins..

This home has everything for the ideal beach vacation ! The beach slopes gently to the water and is ideal for outdoor fun. Walk towards the east end of the island to swim in the tide pools at low tide and search for sand dollars and sea shells. If you are up for a longer walk, you can walk around the end of the island to discover one of the Holden Golden Memory Mailboxes located on the intracoastal waterway where you can read other peoples' memories and perhaps share some of your own. You will feel like you are visiting in an island heaven with the elegant ocean in front of you, pristine beaches, and no hordes.

This is the eleventh year we have listed our home with Vacation Rental By Owner, however, we have rented it privately and have had many renters coming back year after year. What renters like best about the home are the beach front location, the comfort of the home, the fact that the home is extremely family friendly and it has a vintage feel with its pine floors, walls, and ceilings in the living areas, and a well equipped kitchen with basic spices included.

Please note that during the prime weeks of the summer--May 31 - August 16--we have a 7-nighttime minimum stay running Sunday to Sunday. Before and after Prime season, we have a 3-nighttime minimum stay. These stays can begin on any day of the week.
