Holden Beach Luxury Dunes Home.....Quiet, Unobstructed ICW Views - Vacation rental home in Holden Beach, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 2 Bedrooms
• 3 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

RECENTLY RENOVATED with new floor, rugs, carpets and trim painting throughout.

Freshly Painted exterior, including all decks and railings.

Very little actual carpeting, easier to keep clean.

Sensational, two-level, luxury, duplex home located on peaceful street at "The Family Beach." Ideal for one, two, or three couples, modest families.

Fantastic vistas from 4 decks. Backs up to marshland, Intercoastal Waterway - watch the boats go by from the multi-level back decks. Half block from beach with semi-private access (no public access there means less crowd)- undeveloped tons in front provide for great ocean vistas and sounds. See the ocean and listen to the waves crash as you relax on either of the two front decks. All decks are furnished, newly painted/stained, matted for cooling and lower decks and patio provide shade if desired.

Light colors and picture windows on three of four walls give great bright and open feel, very sunny. We freshly refreshed the Master bedroom with new twin beds that convert to a King if desired. Families seem to appreciate the flexibility.

On the right day you will see one of the most pretty sunsets imaginable off of our back decks.

Updated, Florida Villa style decorations. Cozy furnishings, breakfast bar, vaulted ceilings, well equipped kitchen are a few living features. Dining and breakfast bar seats seven for meals.

Three TVs (36 inch big screen in living room, wall-mounted flat screen 20 inch in master, 32 in intelligent TV in guest), complimentary wifi, DVD, cd player and digital cable provide in-home entertainment options.

Giant backyard, Bar-B-Que/picnic area. Paved cement patio, driveway and under-home (on pilings) parking for multiple cars/boat. A newly modernized outdoor shower and changing area are available for cleaning up the family after the beach.

Full weeks only during summer. Nightly units available (minimum stay) in offseason or last-min. during high-season if vacant, please feel complimentary to e-mail, we are very busy but will get back to you.

Holden has a variety of restaurant options, boutique shopping and world class golf within a few miles. It is very unique in that there are many entertainment, dining, recreation and shopping optons on one side of the "big bridge", while the island itself across the bridge is mainly homes, peaceful and relaxing. It is the peaceful hideaway many are looking for, with the amenities to make it enchanting right there as well.

Boat, jet-ski units available at HB Marina. Fishing and crabbing areas readily available.

We appreciate our "home away from home" and think you will too. We have traveled all over the world and find Holden to be the best beach anywhere for a calming, peaceful, courteous coastal vacation.

Please see renter feedback/comments and contact us with any concerns. We are very simple to work with and understand that this non-traditional rental situation (directly from owner) is new to some, we are confident you will be pleased with the experience.

Additional photos available upon request.

Appreciate, Eric and Jamie.

How to get the best Wilmington, NC rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and choosing a perfect Wilmington, NC rental home:

• To start, have your group choose the best dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Holden Beach Luxury Dunes Home.....Quiet, Unobstructed ICW Views has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• 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 rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
