(Cant find your dates I also own: Southern Grace (Listing #4038010) and Southern Bliss (Listing #7109460).
The house itself is, for lack of a better word, spectacular. It will sleep up to 50 guests in one of its 16 large, well-appointed bedrooms (each has its own bathroom). It features two oversized 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 enjoy 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 house’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 huge living spaces on each floor plus a secondary living room on the first floor. You’ll find yourself spending lots of time in the breathtaking over-sized great room. It boasts windows on three sides of the house that serve to bring the outside in. There’s also a separate movie/game room featuring a large 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 televisions throughout the house. These are Roku TVs so bring your logins or watch their free content. If you want to surf the internet, or perhaps just catch up on a little late night work, a blazing 500 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 extra-large kitchen to work. The three refrigerators 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 large private pool, which can be heated when those nights get chilly (extra 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 grills make food preparation easy for any type of event.
There are two full service laundry rooms equipped with washers and dryers, to make it easy 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 house, 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 retreat or event. All this for less than what a nice hotel would charge on a per room, per night basis! With the 8200 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 fees and taxes). Final payment 90 days from arrival.
*Sunday to Sunday rental (7-night 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 rates, 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 custom 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. 2025 (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. Large groups plan far in advance to get on everyone’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 minute 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.

Our extended family of 20 (17 adults and 3kids) were very comfortable in this house. There are so many rooms with king beds that every couple had one! This is rare and much appreciated. The owners were very helpful and easy to communicate with. We would definitely come back! We were here for Thanksgiving and we would enjoy it even more when the warm weather returns.
This house was perfect - housed all 34 members of our family so that we could all be together for our beach reunion. The beach was pristine, so nice to have a pool and nice hangout area with the tiki bar. We had a ball.
We had our family reunion for just under 40 people and it was perfect!!
Nearly 30 of our family, ages 18 mos to 65, spent a glorious week at Southern Charm on Holden Beach. We lounged and swam in the pool and ocean, played corn hole, bocce on the beach, golfed, tossed footballs, flew kites, played cards, watched movies, cooked and ate together in the spacious kitchen and dining area, BBQ'd, went crabbing at night and watched some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets imaginable. The setting was perfect, everyone had their own family spaces and the instructions and support of our host were flawless. What more could you ask for (besides to do it again!)? Highly recommended. Thanks, Greg!
This house was a wonderful vacation home for our extended family. We had 40 people come in for the week. It was such a bonus that every bedroom had a bathroom attached to it. The elevator was much needed for the packing and unpacking process and also for my parents who are in their 80s. The house was well stocked. We enjoyed the different options for gathering places.
Gorgeous house with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms for large family gatherings! Beautiful ocean views, relaxing pool, and the Beach at your fingertips! Great communication with the host and the elevator was a bonus for unloading / loading / avoiding stairs / etc! We would love to come back!
Floor plan of the house is great and met expectations for a large group from young to old. The house has some wear and tear vs the photos in the listing which appear to be from a few years ago.
The house was exactly as advertised, rental, check in and heck out were simple as can be. Everything you need to host a large group in a beautiful, quiet area.
This house was ideal for a writing retreat, with plenty of space and beautiful views. The kitchen was well-equipped for our 15 guests and the entire house was clean and in great condition. Also, the host was very attentive and responsive. I'd highly recommend this house for large groups.
All 16 gentlemen were impressed and happy with the property and accommodations! Considering a return in 2023!!
We were happy w the property.
Our extended family rented Southern Charm for our annual summer vacation and had the best week we could have hoped for! The house is wonderful and just as advertised - even better in several respects. The house is very spacious and well appointed. Every bedroom has its own bathroom which is a huge and unusual bonus. The main living area and kitchen are very welcoming with lots of space for cooking and enjoying meals and hang out time for the whole family. The pool was perfect and surprisingly large in comparison to nearby homes. The view from the deck over the gorgeous dunes was picture perfect and we were treated with amazing sunsets every evening. And now for the beach - I cannot say enough good things about this very private spot on Holden. Even on Labor Day weekend when other stretches of beach were crowded, this little slice of heaven was blissfully quiet. We loved walking and running on the wide, flat beach and investigating the far end of Holden. Although we didn’t intend it when we initially rented Southern Charm, we ended up having a family wedding on the beach while there and the owner Greg could not have been more accommodating and helpful. The wedding and reception by the pool were absolutely perfect with lots of local flare. It was the perfect cap to a perfect week that we will never forget. We are already counting the days until we return next summer!
We just returned from a wonderful stay at Southern Charm - the house was perfect for our very large extended family - everything was as promised, and Greg was immediately responsive throughout the process and our stay. Setting is just beautiful. We cannot wait to return!
There was plenty of room for everyone. 22 adults and 12 children. The pool was very nice and a big hit. We had plenty of activities to do. The last night we spotted a large loggerhead turtle laying eggs on the beach. It was awesome!
Great place to celebrate my parents 60th wedding anniversary. All 32 of us had a great time.
Over 30 family members gathered for Reunion week and all fit comfortably in this large home. Plenty of room for cooking and eating in. Beach is outstanding white sand and very private - only handful of neighbors occasionally pass by. Highly recommend this excellent property!
4 generations of my family stayed at Southern Charm in Holden Beach NC in the week leading up to the Fourth of July. It was the third time we have held a reunion at this wonderful beach house. Situated in a private community at the west end of Holden beach, this house had everything a family of 46 (1 year to 93 years) could want. The house was very clean when we arrived. We ate all of our meals at the house and the kitchen and associated appliances were great support for this size group. There was plenty of seating for everyone at every meal. NC in the summer is hot and humid and the large pool was a huge hit with the family, especially the children. There is a very nice private walkway to the beach and a wonderful stretch of sand where the kids and adults can safely play. The only blemish (and not the fault of the owner) during the week was when workers at the adjoining house cut the cable supplying internet to Southern Charm. The owner, Greg, responded immediately, facilitating a quick response by the local utility and internet was restored in a matter of hours, not days. There aren't many beach houses the size of Southern Charm and if it's important to have your group together in one place, at the ocean, then check out Southern Charm.
We had our wedding here and it was EXACTLY the wedding we wanted. Our guests loved the house, and the kids especially loved the pool, and working with Greg was really easy. He was extremely helpful and responsive to all of my questions. The house was very comfortable for our 35 guests and the location (although far from most amenities) means that our May sunset wedding was private. Yes, it’s expensive, but you can host a lot of people! My only challenge is that the check out time is tough when you have a large group including lots of kids to wrangle.
