ABOUT HOLDEN BEACH: Welcome to Holden Beach, North Carolina, where family values and old fashioned fun are still a part of your vacation. Holden Beach has a very small commercial area on the island. That point is considered by many to be a key reason to keep them coming back year after year. While there are limited commercial establishments on the island, everything one could desire is located within a short driving distance.

The causeway leading to the island contains numerous specialty stores and shops, and the Town of Shallotte just 10 minutes away has several chain grocery and department stores that provide all the necessities. Wilmington and Myrtle Beach are only 35-45 minutes away and if you can't find what you're looking for there, it doesn't exist.

There are over 125 superb golf courses within a one-hour drive from Holden Beach. Courses range from very challenging to user-friendly for golfers who don't always hit the ball where they want it to go. The Myrtle Beach area is perhaps the best region in the United States to find a course just right.

Boating, fishing and hiking the island are very popular activities. Shell hunters can find so many that the kids will fill up the car when they return home. The island is a sea turtle habitat and during the hatching season (May to October) those who don't mind staying up late at night can witness one of nature's most interesting pleasures – watching hundreds of small sea turtles boil' out of the sand and marching to the ocean.

There is no other North Carolina barrier island like Holden Beach. If you're looking for low commercial impact, and a friendly family-oriented atmosphere, you have come to the right place.

    My family and I had a wonderful vacation! The house was perfect for the eight of us. Loved the easy private access to the beach, and enjoyed ending a beach day with a dip in the pool! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Beth and Bill for having us!

    This was our first time staying in Holden Beach. We loved the location of the house and being oceanfront. The pool was such a nice addition to the house. It was the perfect size and we thoroughly enjoyed using it. The house had plenty of room for our family. We were met with a smell in the downstairs portion of the house. This seemed to linger all week despite usingairfreshener.

    House is ideally located for easy beach access and because there were no houses but Oceanside in this area; the beach was never crowded. Having two fully equipped kitchens was great for a family week at the beach. Pool was very clean and a good size. We had a great week; would definitely consider renting again.

    This is our second year renting Wind Beneath My Wings and plan on reserving again for next year. It is the perfect house for multi-generational gatherings. There is enough room to congregate as a large group or break into smaller groups. We had a great time and once again voted as a family to make it our destination again for next year.

    The location of the property is great, and we all enjoyed the pool and the beautiful beach. The pool is cooled so even on the hottest days and times we were able to enjoy it. The house is adequately stocked, although all the pots, pans, mattresses, etc are very well used. My biggest issue was with the cleanliness of the house. The house is older and that adds to its charm, but the floors and rugs were sandy and did not appear to have been thoroughly vacuumed. The bathrooms were also less than pristine. The downstairs was much cleaner although there was a moth ball smell that lingered the whole week. Also, there were random old/ discarded beach toys and other items stored on the porches. These did not cause any problems, but could easily be removed for a more welcoming presentation. All of the appliances worked and met our needs. The communication from the owner was appropriate and thorough.
