About this property

SECOND ROW W/ DEEDED BEACH ACCESS ; AWESOME OCEAN AND MARSH INLET VIEWS!

This Second Row recently updated house has an inverted floor plan, meaning the family room, dining, kitchen, and Master (King sized bed) are on the topmost floor so the views can be maximized. There is plentiful dining seating as well as a kitchen with every tool a cook can think to use, if one enjoys cooking meals for the family at the beach. At the entry level one will find a welcoming sitting room, a King bedroom with a shared Jack and Jill bathroom (tub shower) that opens to a bedroom with two twin beds. Also, there is a bunk room for the kids, with two bunk beds and an adjoining private bathroom (shower with detachable shower spray). The washer and dryer are on this level under the staircase. HD cable and a flat screen TV with a soundbar and subwoofer speakers are provided in the family room TV for movie nights, and all the Roku stick enabled TV's have access to HDTV with the Spectrum app. Netflix and Amazon Prime are also provided for free streaming. Excellent Wifi coverage. Deeded beach access is three houses over and across the street.
The under-the-house storage room is fully stocked with a Weber charcoal grill, as well as beach toys and games, chairs, umbrellas, body boards, as well as a cart to tote them on. The foot shower is conveniently located near the front steps for rinsing off sand before entering the house; and for those who enjoy bathing in the fresh air, there is an enclosed outside shower, sink, and changing area.
The beach is not crowded since only ocean front and second row houses share this stretch of sand.
Holden Beach is a family friendly beach where you will find houses and a handful of condos. Enjoy watching the baby turtles hatch in August, or catch a wave with the body boards. Grab dinner at several nearby restaurants, or plan an outing to Myrtle or Wilmington, both only an hour away, and then come back to enjoy the peace and quiet Holden welcomes you with once you cross over that magical curved bridge onto the island. Leave your cares behind and take a deep breath. This is a place to rest. While we provide much of what you need for your stay, please note we do not provide sheets and towels. Check the amenities section.

Since the house is vacant much of the time, security cameras are in use outside the house, but they are turned off once guests have arrived safely and the guest limit has been confirmed.

Family trip
We had a great week at Holden beach. My parents, my family and my sister's family stayed together and we had just enough room for everyone and still personal space when we needed it. The house is well stocked with kitchen supplies and there were lots of beach supplies provided as well!

Ocean and Marsh Views
Amazing views on the upper floor, where the kitchen and living area are. The kitchen bay window makes cooking, and cleaning up, fun as you look out to the intercoastal waterway over the marsh. We enjoyed watching sunsets on the lower deck, catching the beach breeze on the extended area. Plenty of beach provisions and toys in the storage area add to the fun of the short walk to the beach.

Loved it again!
This was our second time staying this house with Saralee as our hostess. We love the location with proximity to beach access. The beach is uncrowded because the access is limited. The house is perfectly equipped for our wants and needs, with plenty of beach gear, games, books, etc. Now that so many Holden houses are owned by rental companies, which can feel so impersonal and like they’re squeezing you for cash, it’s even more refreshing to bring our family to a place run by a family.

Wonderful week at the beach
We had a great stay at this house on Holden Beach with family. Very clean and great set up with the floor plan for 2 families. Beautiful sunset views from the back porch and very easy access to beach. Very clean and has a stocked kitchen of everything you will need. Will definitely keep on our list for future stays at Holden!!

The house was perfect for our family trip, and Saralee was amazing to work with! She was really understanding when we had to change our plans and very responsive whenever we had a question. The house was clean, well stocked, and very close to the beach access point. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay
We really enjoyed our time at Holden Beach. First time for us and we lucked out with finding this house! It fit our needs perfectly! Enjoyed looking out over the marsh in the rear of the property from the large kitchen window and the access to the beach was across the street and a couple of house down. Perfect! Also, I have to compliment the host for answering all our questions and explaining everything so well about the house. Even gave us some recommendations for local restaurants etc. She was terrific!!! All in all a great experience!!❤️

This was a great spot to stay, not too far from the beach access which made transporting the beach supplies easy. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and the house was very clean on our arrival. There was a great stash of beach gear including sand toys, chairs and games. The owners were very helpful and responded very quickly when contacted. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great place!
The house was really nicely equipped for our family’s beach trip. We loved all the beach gear, games, and TV setup. The owner was super nice and communicative. The beach access was easy and convenient. We have also stayed at places owned and managed by companies, and this was so much warmer of an experience.

Great location, beautiful back porch view of the marsh. Access for beach a few houses down. Had some issues with the digital lock but SaraLee was prepared and had it remedied quickly. Lots of good beach supplies that you really don't have to bring much of your own! Would stay again!

Wonderful stay!
This property was everything we were looking for in a beach home away from home. The marsh view was incredible. Plenty of room for everyone. Very well stocked with everything you might need for your vacation-chairs, umbrellas, pull carts for the beach, games, etc. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond. Very short 2 min walk to beach via deeded access boardwalk. A wonderful trip in Holden!

About the host

Hosted by Saralee

Host profile image
Our family has enjoyed many reunions with aunts, uncles and cousins over the past few years, and have kept the house only for personal use. Now we want to share our little piece of Paradise as our families are older and not able to get together as often anymore. Make this the place where your family builds wonderful memories, as ours has and will continue to do.

Why they chose this property

The views off the back upstairs porch are lovely, and the way the house is situated on the lot, it feels private even though we have neighbors. When I sit at the head of the dining table, I can see the ocean out the front windows and a sweeping marsh and inlet view from the side and back windows. Sometimes we see deer in the marsh at low tide.

What makes this property unique

There is a Food Lion Grocery store within a ten minute drive, as well as a Walgreens Pharmacy. Nearby Dozier's Gym offers daily and weekly memberships, and thrift store shopping turns up some real treasures. Shallotte is the nearest town with more dining options and a Walmar, and a new shopping center with a Marshall's, Hobby Lobby, Ulta, and numerous other stores. Also, there are several golf courses nearby. A fun family activity is zip-lining the Shallotte River Swamp Park, which is really fun, and partly an eco-tour of the swamp. We love our house for the stunning marsh views, which I never imagined would be as lovely as they are. I have turned it into our home away from home, and I trust you will enjoy it as much as we do. Also if sitting on the beach with a good book is what you want, it is just steps away!
