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. brbrThe 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. brbrThere 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. brbrBoating, 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. brbrThere 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.

We used the 2 bedroom downstairs ourselves and rented the 3 bedroom upper unit. Our children grew up and had children of their own. We'd outgrown our cozy 2 bedroom unit. We then put in a spiral staircase that connects the two units, so it can be used as one 5 bedroom home with two living areas and two kitchens during the peak summer season when large combined families vacation together. We have a lock out door and insulation for the stairwell that we put in place during the spring and autumn. We've rented our lower unit and the upper unit simultaneously to unrelated parties for many years now. We have no problems or complaints about this arrangement from our renters who choose our home. Offering both units for rent simultaneously allows us to price very competitively. The VRBO listing number for the 2 bedroom1 bath lower unit is 2003744. The VRBO listing number for the whole house (5 bedroom 3 bath, 2 kitchens, 2 living areas) is 869594 brbrABOUT HOLDEN BEACH: brbrWelcome 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. brbrThe 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. brbrThere 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. Seasonal rates vary. brbrBoating, 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. brbrThere is no other North Carol

Picture your whole crew from the littles racing to the pool to the grandparents claiming the best porch chairs all together, finally unhurried, with nothing but open ocean in front of you. That's what this home delivers. A single-level, oceanfront retreat in Holden Beach where the water is steps away, the private pool is heated on demand, and every corner of the property was built for a group that wants to be together without being on top of each other.brbrQuick FactsbrSleeps up to 10br4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | Single-level layoutbrPrivate pool with optional heat + swim ledgebrDirect, gated beach access sand is steps from the back deckbr9-hole putting green + ping pong table under the homebrCovered porch + open sun deck with unobstructed ocean viewsbrLarge yard with grill for outdoor cooking and lawn gamesbrWasher/dryer on-sitebrbrThe ExperiencebrMorning starts with coffee on the covered porch while the ocean does what it does. The kids are already asking about the pool. Someone's already claimed a lounge chair. By 10am your whole group has naturally spread across the property and that's the point.brThe home flows the way a family actually moves. The open-concept living room looks straight out to the water, so the adults keeping an eye on the kids at the pool can still be part of the conversation inside. The kitchen is sized for real cooking big family dinners, taco nights, birthday cakes and it connects directly to the living space so no one's isolated while they're prepping. When dinner's done, the covered porch pulls everyone back together.brOutside is where this home really earns its keep. The private pool sits on a large lot next to an adjacent empty parcel, which means your group isn't sharing views or fence lines with anyone. The 9-hole putting green gets competitive by day two. Ping pong lives under the home shaded, accessible, and ready to go regardless of weather. The yard has room for cornhole, lawn chairs, and whatever else your crew brings. And when anyone's ready for the real thing, the gated beach access path puts you on the sand in under a minute.brbrSleeping ArrangementsbrBedroom 1 Primary King Suite (Ensuite bathroom) A private king bedroom with an attached walk-in shower, vanity, and toilet. Ideal for the trip organizer, grandparents, or anyone who's earned their own space.brBedroom 2 Queen + Twin One queen bed and one twin in a light, comfortable room. A great fit for a parent with a younger child, two kids sharing, or a couple who doesn't mind the cozier layout.brBedroom 3 King Guest Room (Connected to Bunk Room) A full king bedroom with a direct door to the bunk room perfectly set up for parents who want their young children close but everyone sleeping in their own space.brBedroom 4 Bunk Room A bunk bed with trundle and safety rails, plus extra floor space for play. The stacked washer and dryer lives here too, which keeps laundry out of the main living areas. Kids love this room. Parents love that the kids love this room.brbrStandout FeaturesbrThe Pool Private, fenced, and available with optional heat during shoulder season (March–May, October–November). The tanning ledge is a permanent fixture for anyone who wants to be in the water without actually swimming. Lounge chairs surround it. It's the center of gravity for the second half of every day.brBeach Access The deck steps down to a gated path that leads directly to the sand. No road crossings, no parking lots, no carrying gear through a neighborhood. Just your group and the beach. The outdoor shower at the base of the home makes the transition back inside clean and quick.brThe Putting Green + Ping Pong Under the home, shaded and protected from weather. Nine holes of putting is enough to run a tournament. Ping pong keeps the energy going after dinner. Both are the kind of entertainment that requires zero planning and works for every age.brThe Views The lot sits next to a permanently empty adjacent parcel, meaning there's nothing between you and an unobstructed panoramic view of the Atlantic. The living room, the covered porch, and the sun deck all face it directly. You'll stop noticing the view eventually. But probably not until day three.brThe Kitchen Fully stocked with everything you need to feed a group without a grocery run for basics. The layout keeps the cook in the conversation open to the living space so no one misses anything while dinner is happening.brbrLocationbrHolden Beach is a quieter, residential barrier island long on shoreline, short on crowds. It doesn't have the commercial strip of the bigger beach towns, and that's exactly the point.br3–5 min drive to Holden Beach waterfront restaurants and casual diningbr5 min to island shops, ice cream, and beach gearbr30 min to Wilmington for a full day of dining, shopping, and attractionsbr45 min to Myrtle Beach if the group wants a theme park or bigger outingbrThe home itself sits on a wide stretch of beach with low foot traffic and long sight lines in both directions. If your group is coming to actually be at the beach not just near it this is the right location.brbrWhat to Know Before You BookbrA rental agreement is required after booking.
