About this property

Holden Beach Luxury Dunes Home.....Quiet, Unobstructed ICW Views


RECENTLY RENOVATED with new flooring, rugs, carpets and trim painting throughout.

Freshly Painted exterior, including all decks and railings.

Very little actual carpeting, easier to keep clean.

Beautiful, two-level, luxury, duplex home located on quiet street at "The Family Beach." Perfect for one, two, or three couples, small families.

Fantastic views from 4 decks. Backs up to marshland, Intercoastal Waterway - watch the boats go by from the multi-level back decks. Half block from beach with semi-private access (no public access there means less crowd)- undeveloped lots in front provide for great ocean views and sounds. See the ocean and listen to the waves crash as you relax on either of the two front decks. All decks are furnished, recently painted/stained, matted for cooling and lower decks and patio provide shade if desired.

Light colors and picture windows on three of four walls give great bright and open feel, very sunny. We recently updated the Master bedroom with new twin mattresses that convert to a King if desired. Families seem to appreciate the flexibility.

On the right day you will see one of the most beautiful sunsets imaginable off of our back decks.

Updated, Florida Villa style decorations. Comfortable furnishings, breakfast bar, vaulted ceilings, well equipped kitchen are a few living features. Dining and breakfast bar seats seven for meals.

Three TVs (36 inch big screen in living room, wall-mounted flat screen 20 inch in master, 32 in smart TV in guest), free wifi, DVD, cd player and digital cable provide in-house entertainment options.

Large backyard, barbecue/picnic area. Paved cement patio, driveway and under-house (on pilings) parking for multiple vehicles/boat. A freshly renovated outdoor shower and changing area are available for cleaning up the family after the beach.

Full weeks only during summer. Nightly rentals available (minimum stay) in offseason or last-minute during high-season if vacant, please feel free to email, we are very busy but will get back to you.

Holden has a variety of restaurant options, boutique shopping and world class golf within a few miles. It is very unique in that there are numerous entertainment, dining, recreation and shopping optons on one side of the "big bridge", while the island itself across the bridge is mainly houses, quiet and peaceful. It is the quiet getaway many are looking for, with the conveniences to make it enjoyable right there as well.

Boat, jet-ski rentals available at HB Marina. Fishing and crabbing areas readily available.

We love our "home away from home" and think you will too. We have traveled all over the world and find Holden to be the best beach anywhere for a relaxing, quiet, courteous coastal vacation.

Please see renter feedback/comments and contact us with any concerns. We are very easy to work with and understand that this non-traditional rental situation (directly from owner) is new to some, we are confident you will be pleased with the experience.

Additional photos available upon request.

Enjoy, Eric and Jamie.

Great location for a family trip
The house is just as Eric describes. It is in a safe and quiet location with easy access to the beach. While it is an older home, it is clean and taken care of. We would stay again if we ever find ourselves in the area for the price and location.

Nice place
Great house and location. housekeeping staff should replenish supplies like paper towels and toilet paper more completely as we nearly ran out of both but to me, that isn’t on the owner. Eric communicated well before and during the trip. This house is a bit older but has been well taken care of. Would definitely stay there again!!

We had a wonderful week at the beach. We have been coming to Holden for over 20 years and it’s always fabulous. The house was cute. Could have had a few more amenities but would stay again communication with Eric was fabulous. He could not have been more helpful

Nice, clean property and great price!
We enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and smelled fresh upon arrival - a huge plus for my wife as she’s sensitive to odors, both uncleanliness or strong harsh cleaning agents. This property was clean and had neither. No problems with check-in or check-out. Simple cleaning requirements - unlike some VRBOs that charge an exhorbitant cleaning fee PLUS have you white glove the property. Basically it was cleaning up after ourselves = take the trash out, run the dishwasher, put everything back where it started, clean food out of fridge…the stuff your mom would expect you to do anyway :-) Comfortable beds. Nice to have on-suite bathrooms in both bedrooms. The property is fairly dated as far as appliances, bathrooms, kitchen, etc, but everything worked well. Also, as a plus, the air conditioner was able to keep up with the heat fairly well. It was still much warmer upstairs than downstairs, but it was more comfortable than many beach vacation rentals I’ve had.

Great house with nice amenities.
The property was just what we needed. We have stayed at Oak Island for the last several years, but a price increase caused me to look elsewhere. The owner was communicative and easy to deal with. This was a much nicer house for the same price as Oak Island.

2 week relaxing vacation
The property was as described. I let the owner now upon check in that there were little or no paper products (toilet paper and paper towels) so we were sure to add the to our run to the store for groceries. The owner was available and very responsive. The adjoining unit is a home owner who lives there year-round. They are kind and very understanding of renters coming and going in the adjoining unit. It's great to have garbage pick up 2 days a week. There are 4 porches where you and enjoy all different views based on your preference. Front you can enjoy all the families and kids biking by, especially in the evenings and also the ocean waves. The back the off shore breeze and sailboats and other boats returning from a day out on the water. We had plenty of rental gear but it's nice to know there were a few items (chairs and boogie boards) available for guests downstairs. Our only suggestion is there are so many throw rugs and they slide and cause a trip hazard when corners curl up or they move. I would consider limiting these are getting them secured to the floor in some fashion.

Great stay!
The home was comfortable and tastefully decorated. The owner made noticeable updates recently. We loved the use of four decks and utilized them daily. The beds were harder than we prefer but this is based on our preference. Still slept well on the king bed. Beach was a three minute walk from the house and easily accessible. Host communicated well. Would stay again. Thank you for a great week at Holden!

description
So got an email from the owner stating things like painting the deck hadn’t been done due to covid. The split on the other side is I believed to be the owner as we were grilling one night with the sketchy grill provided and he walked over to inform us to be careful. Their side is also very pretty both on the outside and their backyard compared to the thing we stayed in. The deck has loose boards on steps and through out that seemed like a hazard. The doors were old even thou my email states they are new and stick and you can barely get them to close. They room with the twin beds in no way could be moved apart which is the only reason I booked th:is house so enough family could fit. The fridge is missing a handle so that was hard to open for the week. Stains all over ceilings, wallpaper falling off. Floors are splitting apart due to not being down correctly and have stains all over them. The decorates are outdated and goodwill finds as they have price tags hanging from items. And the filter probably hasn’t been changed in years for the ac making it very uncomfortable unless you remove it. You pay a cleaning fee but the owner expects you to clean it. We left it the way it was when we got there unclean. The view of the beach is in between two buildings and you have to stand just right to see it and the back is overgrown blah. This is a two bedroom two bed place don’t book it if your hoping to fit people who don’t want to share beds. The closets are filled with junk along with half the drawers in the place, so unpacking doesn’t really happen. They dryer is broken and owner wants you to watch it so it doesn’t run forever even though that shouldn’t be a worry on vacation. I feel down the steps in the house the first night as they are over padded by several inches and no support under those inches so be sure to be careful walk slowly and hold the hand rails thankfully I wasn’t carrying my 2 month old. Overall the only thing this house has going for it is location.
