This spectacular "end of island" home is located in Holden Beach West's private community and offers beautiful vistas of the ocean, Shallotte Inlet, and Intracoastal Waterway. It is technically a second-row home, but very unique with its unobstructed vistas. This 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath keyless entry home (2K, 2Q, 4T) includes cavernous primary bedrooms with private balconies as well as a gourmet kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, private swimming pool, and wrap-around porch. TVs and DVD players in every bedroom and the common living area, surround sound, upgraded cable, and a Sonos sound bar for your listening enjoyment.

The pool at this home can be heated September - May for an additional $500 fee per week. Please note that under optimal conditions, the pool can be heated 10 degrees above the outside temperature/max. of 87°F. Please call our office for more details as this service should be scheduled in advance. A gas grille is included. Beach access is directly across the street at 1365 Ocean Blvd West. This home is near an inlet and the distance to the beach and ocean are subject to change. Due to high tides and forces of nature, tidal pools may exist in natural settings on the island. Oceanfront properties in close proximity to an ocean inlet are subject to rapid and substantial changes in dune structure and distance to the beach strand. The owner of this home wants to pamper you, so we'll make your beds with fresh sheets and a lightweight blanket, lay out bath towel sets (one per guest), as well as supply beach towels. You'll find the home already supplied with bottled water in the refrigerator, as well as a hand soap pump by every sink, and a starter set of following: toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry and dishwasher pods, dish soap and a sponge. In order to properly prepare your home, early check-ins/late check-outs are not available, so plan to check-in at 4:00 PM so as not to miss a min. of surf and sand! Please note that the bedroom with the shared bathroom has access to the powder room but must enter neighboring bedroom for use of a full bathroom. Absolutely no animals nor smoking allowed on this property.

Our top Holden Beach rental home tips:

When to go & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• First, have your group agree to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Spectacular end-of-island home with close beach access and amazing ocean/waterway/inlet views! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
