About this property

Amazing Oceanfront Home

Enjoy a OCEANFRONT duplex with amazing 270 degree south-facing views for all day sun on the beach! This family-friendly and immaculate home boasts an open main level with living/dining space, a renovated kitchen, and main level queen bedroom. This versatile floor plan includes a 2nd floor with master suite with oceanfront views and two additional well-appointed bedrooms. The kitchen features granite countertops, tile backsplash, newer appliances, and is well stocked with every gadget and utensil needed to prepare large meals or accommodate take-out from the many restaurants on the island.

Sit on the covered deck and watch the sun rise and set over the sparkling water. The house is positioned closer to the dunes and ocean than the neighboring houses for unobstructed views up and down the island. Watch the kids play on the beach from the deck or the many ocean-view windows in the house.

Enjoy an evening walk on the beach to multiple restaurants on the island serving fresh seafood, steaks and refreshing island drinks. Have dessert at the local ice cream shop before heading back for a relaxing night listing to the ocean surf.

Holden Beach is a quiet, family-friendly beach recognized as a top beach by USA Today and a top-10 beach by National Geographic Traveler’s Magazine. There are no hotels or high-rise complexes, just family owned cottages. Holden Beach is part of the barrier island chain in southeastern NC and is also located approximately 35 miles from Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC -- making trips for shopping, eating and entertaining very convenient. Holden Beach is also well-situated for 30 area golf courses.

We love our “home away from home,” and our family has spent many years enjoying all that Holden has to offer. We would love for you to choose to spend your vacation time at our property. Renting directly from the owner may be new to you (through VRBO), but we enjoy helping our renters plan the perfect vacation and that will exceed your expectations.

ALREADY BOOKED? If this listing is already booked during your preferred stay, please visit our other listing on VRBO (#404106) to check for additional availability.

Rent BOTH SIDES of the duplex for 8 bedrooms and 6 baths that can accommodate large families while offering the privacy of separate spaces. Email us to inquire about renting both sides.

Mothers Day at the beach

This property was everything we had hoped for. Very clean and neat. Everything was in working order. This property has four bedrooms, all of them were a nice size. If you filled all those bedrooms, the living area would become very small. The porch is very nice but again, would become small in size if you fill the house. Of course the beach is beautiful. This property does not provide any beach equipment but a little shop just down the street will rent you everything you need. We also found there really isn’t any fine dining in the area. The casual restaurants close by are nice with the beach vibe. Fine dining is 30-40 minutes away. Over all we enjoyed the space and will not think twice about staying there again.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely duplex very much. Very clean, decorated beachy, and right on the oceanfront. The amenities were great and conveniently located near areas like Calabash where we enjoyed shopping and dining. This was our second time at this beautiful home away from home. No regrets!!

Holden Beach

This property was just as described. This was our first oceanfront rental but it will not be our last! Our only concern was that you could not access under the house from the beach side to store our beach accessories. Fortunately, we felt comfortable leaving everything at the bottom of the stairs leading to the beach. The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals for our family of 9. We found Holden to be much quieter than the Myrtle Beach area. It’s a little crazy with everyone trying to come in at the same time on Saturday but after that it did not seem crowded at all.

Fantastic House

This location is perfect! Right on the beach with full windows so we could watch the kids playing in the sand while cooking supper. Kitchen was well stocked and very organized. First rental we've been asked to bring things like hand soap or toilet paper but honestly this house makes up for that. Book it! You will love this house.

Great location, perfect for family

This was such a great place to stay. We loved the decor, the cleanliness, and the location was perfect. Our 10 and 5 year old had so much fun. It was close enough for us to bike to get coffee and treats and the hosts were available right away to answer our questions. Fun family memory!

Beautiful property!

We enjoyed a long weekend at the end of the summer with our family of 5 and our best friends from college with their two young children. The property was a great fit for our needs with enough bedrooms and bathrooms, and right on the beach, making it so easy to enjoy lots of time playing in the water and sand. We wouldn’t change a thing about this property and are so grateful to have been able to stay here for a wonderful time.

Nice for a medium large group

Nice beachfront property with a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. I will say I was glad there were only six of us because the living area and porch are both a bit small. It was just the right size for our group, though. Would stay there again.

Best Rental On Holden Beach

We have rented on HB for over 25 years. From being youg parents looking for a bargain price to going all in as 50 somethings & inviting adult kids and friends for large $$ rentals. This was by far the most convenient, clean, high value property we have rented. Simply outstanding. The owners know their stuff and have a winner here...

About the host

Hosted by Andy

We are two couples that have vacationed many summers at Holden Beach and fell in love with the charming, non-commercial laid-back environment.

Why they chose this property

Holden Beach truly offers the best of both worlds -- a quiet family beach without commercial distraction, but close enough to Myrtle and Wilmington for quick outings
