Are you looking for your own island escape? Do you long to feel those balmy evening ocean breezes? Needs space for the whole family? If so, experience Southern Charm Beach Style! You will be interacting directly with the owner of the home!
A sizable beach home rental to fit the whole family. A unique outdoor design underneath the home that integrates the sizable in-ground pool (32'x14'), Tiki bar, and under the home, covering you if any weather problems or just want shade. It is one of the biggest beachfront units on the east coast. A private estate in a gated community, it is located on a twenty-two acre wildlife preserve at the tip of the island. Here, you can converse with nature, watch deer, fox, and rabbits in their natural habitat, all the while appreciating a spectacular three hundred and sixty degree view of the beach and the Shallotte inlet. You can even see as far as Ocean Isle Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway. A view nothing like you have seen before at the beach.

The home itself is, for lack of a better word, spectacular. It will sleep up to 50 guests in one of its 16 huge, well-appointed bedrooms (each has its own bathroom). It features two upsized suites along with 5 other bedrooms equipped with king size beds. There are seven bedrooms furnished with both a combination of queen beds as well as queen and single configurations. Let the kids savor their midnight pillow fights in one of the two bunk rooms, outfitted with both double and triple bunk beds. One bedroom is also HANDICAP accessible with a handicap bathroom. The home’s 17 bathrooms guarantee that no one ever has to wait before they grab their shower. In addition, the convenient elevator gives those tired knees a rest from all that beach volleyball.
There are two humongous living spaces on each floor plus a secondary living room on the first floor. You’ll find yourself spending tons of time in the elegant over-sized great room. It features windows on three sides of the home that serve to bring the outside in. There’s also a separate movie/game room featuring a enormous HDTV, game table and foosball table. Speaking of TV’s, you’ll think that you are in Command Central. There are a total of 18 TVs throughout the home. These are Roku TVs so bring your logins or watch their complimentary content. If you want to catch a late nighttime flick, choose from our collection of many trendy titles to play on the included DVD players. If you want to surf the internet, or perhaps just catch up on a little late nighttime work, a blazing 400 Mbps of WI-FI Mesh access is available.
The upstairs movie/game room has a kitchenette (sink, microwave, drink refrigerator) and is a great hangout for the kids or to hold a breakout session with your church or club members. But when it’s time to really showcase your culinary skills preparing all that freshly caught seafood, you’re going to want to pull out all the stops and put the additional-huge kitchen to work. The three fridges units keep everything fresh and cool while the 10-burner cooktop, 3 ovens and 3 microwaves let you try out your latest recipes.
You can bask in the sunshine beside the huge private pool, which can be heated when those nights get chilly (additional fee). With the beach having an east/west orientation, you get to see the sunrise and sunset and not loose the sun at the pool in the afternoon. When you’re tired of working on that tan, you can pull your chair over to the covered area on the large pool deck. This will get you out of the sun but still allow you to keep an eye on the kids in the pool. After the sun goes down, it’s time to grab a drink at the Tiki Bar. Or challenge someone to a game of corn hole, basketball (bring your ball), ring toss, etc. This area is well designed for large group gatherings and the presence of two gas grilles make food preparation simple for any type of event.
There are two full service laundry rooms equipped with washers and dryers, to make it painless to get all that sand out of your swimsuits, and if you’re worried about having too many on your guest list, there’s parking available for up to 24 cars.
Tired of those reverse floor plans with all the walking up and down? Have the common area integrated with the outside/pool area for better outside use and flow. Kitchen and great room on the elevated first floor with deck stairs to pool.
As you sit and relax, watching the sand and surf, from one of the double level decks on each side of the home, you see why Holden Beach has been nationally recognized as one of the premier “Family Beaches in the USA.” You will also make a mental note to return and experience ‘Southern Charm’ as often as you can. Just right for your family vacation, reunion, church getaway or event. All this for less than what a nice hotel would charge on a per room, per nighttime basis! With the 8300 s.f. of space, private pool, and ocean right in front of you thrown in! Whether you need a 13, 14 or 15 bedrooms or more, ‘Southern Charm’ has it all.

*IMPORTANT check-in/out requirements and pricing*:
*To book, 40% down (plus costs and taxes). Final payment 90 days from arrival.

*Sunday to Sunday rental (7-nighttime minimum) during summer season (great so you don't hit the typical Saturday rental turnover traffic). Other check-in days okay outside of the summer.

*To see accurate prices, search on Sunday to Sunday. Sunday to Thursday or Thursday to Sunday (or Friday to Monday Mem/Labor Day weekends-Xmas/New Years varies). Those are the only days you can book. I can bespoke adjust your dates, non summer, from there but those days of the week are the only ones that show the correct pricing. Prices accurate to Dec. 2024 (ask about pricing beyond that).

*Special rates for Church groups November through March.

*Weddings are welcome! $1,000 event fee.

*We highly encourage you to buy trip insurance in case your plans change. Generous groups plan far in advance to get on everybody’s schedule. And with so many people, things can change or hurricane’s can come. We have little ability to re-rent for you to get your money back for any last min. changes so best to purchase trip insurance. It costs 7% for standard insurance or 10.8% for Cancel For Any Reason insurance (covers you for everything as you do not need a reason). After you book I can send a link to these options.

Finding the best Holden Beach rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Holden Beach. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines that include special 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 visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC attraction you love, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.

• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
