Welcome to BYRDS EYE VIEW II. Formerly known as Tern Inn, property #443639, with over 100 5-star reviews and premiere host status for over 10 years!!

We have new owners but our property management is the same. I look forward to helping you create a wonderful, memorable vacation!

This stunning, pet-friendly, oceanfront home was thoughtfully designed with families and friends in mind. Gather around our custom-built 10-foot dining table that comfortably seats 10 and island seatingfor 4 more — ideal for shared meals, laughter, and making memories.

With two spacious sitting rooms, each equipped with Smart TV/Roku players, and four beautifully appointed bedrooms (most with a private bath), also with Smart TV/Roku players, there's plenty of room for everyone to relax in comfort. Over 35 windows throughout the home showcase breathtaking views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, filling the space with light and coastal beauty.

We are proud to be one of the few homes on Holden Beach offering an elevator for easy access to every floor, plus a large accessible bathroom with a wheelchair accessible shower — ensuring all guests can enjoy their stay with ease.

You’ll fall in love with the simple pleasure of rocking in the chairs on the back deck and soaking in the panoramic ocean views that have made Holden Beach one of the East Coast’s most beloved family destinations.

Our home is stocked to help you forget the busyness of everyday life and embrace carefree beach living. Enjoy a library of books for leisurely vacation reading, and find boogie boards, beach cruiser bicycles and sand toys ready for the kids and adults alike! After a day at the beach, rinse off in the private outdoor shower and unwind in the shaded picnic area under the home.

We love our beach house and believe you will too. Come kick off your shoes, slow down, and savor every moment in paradise!

    The host was wonderful. It was my first time using VBRO and she was very helpful and patient. We throughly enjoyed ourselves in the beautiful home. Bedrooms were roomy and the kitchen was fantastic with everything we needed to do our Thanksgiving dinner. The elevator and the handicap bathroom was the best for my 91 year old father who enjoy his stay tremendously. Thank you for letting us enjoyed the sun, the ocean, the house and especially the family time.Happy Thanksgiving and a blessed Christmas season to you all.

    The pictures of the interior of this home don’t represent it well. The entire home has been upgraded. New mattresses, new couches, fully upgraded kitchen and a very updated beach theme throughout the home. The house is stunning and made us feel at home right away. The overall cleanliness of the house needs improvement. One of the bathrooms wasn’t cleaned at all and there wasn’t a whole lot of cleaning supplies to get it done. We paid for the linens and towels but 1 towel each is not going to get it done for a regular size family staying 7 days. Overall we would definitely come back and stay there again! I’m sure they can fix the cleaning service they use and supply more towels for their guests.

    We fell in love with this house! It was perfect for my mom, my kids, and myself. We will definitely be back. My mom’s right leg had to be amputated above the knee last year, and this house was accessible to her.

    We so enjoyed our stay! Love all the windows! This home is beautiful, and the views are amazing. The kitchen had anything you could possibly need, and having an elevator was such a plus when we arrived and departed! Debbie was very quick to respond to any questions or needs. Thank you for this wonderful property to make family memories!!

    What a great house! TV’s all flat screens, living room and dining room is huge and a great place with the ocean outside. Porch is amazing, there are 5 (!) bathrooms! An elevator, and the public access right next to house is a ramp, so you can get to the beach without a single step! I have rented. Number of houses, and this was the best by a long shot! Owner is very responsive, place was clean and has everything you need!!

    We have stayed multiple times at Holden Beach and this was by far our best experience. Owner was easy to work with and very responsive when needed. House and description were both excellent. Will be back

    This was the perfect stay for our family vacation. The location was awesome for the baby and a family member with a disability. Plus our two dogs loved it. Luckily there is a public beach access right beside the house that made it very easy to get the beach cart out!

    We booked this house because it’s oceanfront, as we had not been to the ocean in quite some time, and wanted to enjoy it to the fullest. The other main reason was the handicap access and elevator, for my disabled dad. The house was great for our needs. And let’s not forget to talk about the awesome view! It was so great to be able to see and hear the ocean all day. The town is great, very family oriented…not a bunch if riff raff like you’d see in other towns. Just all around a great, relaxing experience! Thank you so much!

    We were here the week of tropical storm Debby, so had to spend more time inside the house than on the beach unfortunately. There were no issues with the house during the storms and we had power and internet all week, so we stayed the duration, even though the mayor announced a voluntary evacuation. Debbie the owner checked in on us and the house during the worst, and was also responsive to all our questions before the trip. The house suited our needs pretty well. There are big flat screen tvs in all the bedrooms and living rooms. The internet and streaming work well. The porch facing the beach is great, with nice rockers. The furniture is comfortable and plenty of space in the dining and living areas. The kitchen has plenty of cookware, dishes and appliances. There's an extra fridge on the bottom floor which was great for drink storage. There is a good supply of extra blankets and pillows. The elevator is very sensitive and we couldn't get it working on move out day, so that was inconvenient. Aside from the weather, we had a very comfortable stay at Tern Inn!

    Pros: - Beach is great and it’s located on a nice area of the island - Outside of the house is very nice - Included some beach chairs and other beach “nice to haves” Cons: - House was very dirty when we arrived - bedspreads were sandy and dirty - we had to wash them before we could sleep in the beds - House hasn’t been updated in many years and felt pretty run down - Paid extra for linens and towels - bath towels were very old, tattered and dingy, beach towels were nice, linens were okay, but a bit annoying you have to make your own beds when you’re paying extra for them - The house is directly next to the public beach access, which means the beach area in front of the house is crowded, and if you want a place to sit in front of the house you have to get to the beach before 6am to save your spot before the tent rental guys come and set up in front of the house. Our family has been going to Holden Beach for over 30 years. We absolutely love it. We like this area of the island and we were excited to find this house, as it reminded us of the ones we’d always stay in when we were kids. Unfortunately, that’s a little more nostalgia than we expected as the house really hasn’t been updated in that period of time. There were a lot of broken and heavily worn items in the house. On the plus side, it was less expensive than some of the other houses we looked at, but I suppose you get what you pay for. The location next to the public access is a big negative. Host was very nice

    Our stay was fabulous! The house offered great spaces for all 7 of us to be together and to spread out. The large dining table allowed us to have meals together. The outdoor spaces were wonderful as well. There were plenty of beach chairs and it was a very short walk to the beach. There was a problem with the air conditioning not keeping the house cool enough. I communicated with the manager and was directed to speak to the AC repair company who then told me the AC units were doing the best they could with the extreme heat. The manager offered window units but we didn’t want that due to the noise. The house was just cool enough during the day but we were not quite cool enough at night. Our two suggestions would be for the kitchen to have more silverware and in our opinion all mattresses need to be replaced. All mattresses were extremely soft and sunk in the middle. Overall the house was great and we had a wonderful time! Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful house!

    First time in Holden Beach and could not be better. House has everything you need for a family get together in a small quiet beach town. Beautiful views, steps to the beach which was uncrowded during our visit and full of shells, each bedroom has its own bathroom, equipped kitchen large enough to cook, extra fridge on the first floor, many spaces to hang out all together or in smaller groups. Elevator and extra handicap-accessible bathroom came in handy for my 85 yr old mother, plus another family member with a bum knee. Town had a nicely stocked grocery store, friendly people, and many delicious restaurants only minutes away. Wasn't sure how our first extended family beach vacation would go, but now we're already planning our next visit in this house. (Lastly, we're grateful pet-friendly means feline friendly too for those with travel savvy cats who don't like being left behind and will happily enjoy a sunny ocean view window with family.)
