Savor a modernized OCEANFRONT luxury duplex with striking 270 degree south-facing vistas for all day sun on the beach! This family-friendly and immaculate home features an open main level with living/dining space, a remodeled kitchen, and main level queen bedroom. This versatile floor plan includes a 2nd floor with master suite with oceanfront vistas and two additional well-appointed bedrooms. The kitchen features granite countertops, tile backsplash, newer appliances, and is well supplied with every gadget and utensil needed to prepare enormous meals or accommodate take-out from the many eateries on the island.

Sit on the covered deck and watch the sun rise and set over the shining water. The home is positioned closer to the dunes and ocean than the neighboring homes for unobstructed vistas up and down the island. Watch the kids play on the beach from the deck or the many ocean-view windows in the home.

Appreciate an evening walk on the beach to multiple eateries on the island serving fresh seafood, steaks and invigorating island drinks. Have dessert at the local ice cream shop before heading back for a calming nighttime listing to the ocean surf.

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 adore our “home away from home,” and our family has spent many years appreciating 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 savor helping our renters plan the ideal vacation and that will exceed your expectations.

Strategies to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation rental in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Holden Beach:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Remodeled oceanfront home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
