About this property

Amazing Oceanfront Resort

Luxurious OCEANFRONT resort property located at the exclusive west end of Holden Beach in a private, gated community. The home has all the space you need including an inverted floor plan with over 5,000 square feet, 8 bedrooms, 9.5 baths, elevator, multiple oversized wraparound decks, and amazing one-of-a-kind ocean and inlet views. Bordering the property is a 24-acre natural preserve -- a truly exclusive surrounding. This resort property includes updated furniture, bedding (bed linens included), appliances, and décor.

NEW FOR 2024 SEASON: Renovated game room including ping pong table and pool table, in house double laundry with 2 new washer/dryer stacked units, new flooring on middle floor, new interior painting throughout, artificial turf installed in back yard including 3-hole putting green. This truly creates an incredible outdoor space for all to enjoy.

This large family-friendly and immaculate home boasts an inverted floor plan that includes a gourmet kitchen, large living room, two dining areas and two master bedrooms on the top floor. Both master bedrooms are spacious and have ocean and intracoastal waterway views and large en suite bathrooms. The kitchen has custom granite countertops, tile backsplash, new appliances, built-in commercial refrigerator double ovens, and is well-stocked with every gadget, small appliance, and utensil needed to prepare large meals or accommodate take-out from any of the many restaurants on the island. The living room includes new furniture with a large flat-screen tv, panoramic ocean views, bar area with a built-in ice maker and wine refrigerator that spills over to a large covered veranda.

The second floor includes 6 bedrooms each with their own attached bathroom. A second living room with a large TV and pull out sleeper sofa is a perfect hangout space for children or adults. The utility room on this floor includes a front-load washer and dryer, and laundry/utility sink. The ground floor includes a two-car garage and game room complete with pool table, ping pong table, and a secondary full-size refrigerator for additional cold food and beverage storage. The game room leads directly out to the expansive pool deck and is the perfect entertainment space.

The 3/4 acre grounds include lush landscaping, over 70 enormous palm trees, fenced yard, and a backyard oasis with a large deck perfect for lounging by the saltwater pool and hot tub, grilling dinner or enjoying the afternoon sun and warm night breeze. The pool house includes a full bath -- a great convenience for coming off the beach. The panoramic views from any of the 6 porches are unlike any views of the ocean and intracoastal waterways on the island. Walk along the lighted catwalk down to the beach which is very secluded; or enjoy the beachfront gazebo. The house is one of the last properties on the west end of the island and is extremely private and quiet.

We do not offer weddings or other special events at the property.

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.

A wonderful week

The home was a wonderful spot for our large group to spend the week! One point that stands out is that it had one of the most well-equipped kitchens we’ve ever experienced in a beach rental- little things like that made all the difference. The third floor porch overlooking the beach and pool is a wonderful place to spend a morning and then again in the evenings! We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful house and location!

This was our 2nd stay at this home. It is perfect for our family group of 19+ (ages 5-73). Love this section of the island where there are no crowds. Family rotated time btwn the beach, pool and hot tub every day. Love the reverse floor plan with living area on the top floor. Kitchen well stocked. Great living areas. Plenty of room for everyone to be together and/or to find a quiet spot and enjoy the surroundings.

Relaxing and Fun

We had approx 17 adults and 1 toddler. There was more than enough room that we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. We cooked in all week and enjoyed all the space with two tables. The younger group went downstairs where the pool table and ping pong table were and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Having a bathroom and shower by the pool made it very convenient. Would definitely go back.

Oceanfront Family Fun

Our first time at Holden with our family of 16. House is comfortable and spacious and one never feels crowded. Owners have done an excellent job decorating and making the house a "home" for your stay. Everyone in our family loved the house, outside area, etc. A big shout out to the owner, Jason, who goes the extra mile to help when needed. As a former beach house owner, I appreciate that effort. Happy memories.

The Perfect Beach House

We spent our first week in Holden Beach at this beautiful home and couldn't ask for more! There were 5 families and we all comfortable fit with perfect accommodations. Some of our favorite things about the house and beach were: oversized tables for family meals, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, large pool, oceanfront decks, elevator for transporting food and grandparents, shell hunting on the beach, private beach, turtle egg discovery, gazebo that teens used to hang 3 enos, ping pong, ice maker, fishing from the shore and oh so much more. It truly was a pleasure to rent from these great families and I can only hope that we get to come back again one day soon. We LOVED everything about it! Best house we have ever stayed at, hands down!

Extended family at the beach!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 72 Palms. It was an extended family vacation. All of our children, their spouses and our grandchildren joined us there. The property is spacious and very well equipped. The elevator was truly amazing both upon arrival and departure. It was also much easier for my husband and I to join the activities with our children rather than using the stairs. The pool, the hot tub, and the beach were enjoyed by all! The property is beautiful inside and out. The porches gave us a wonderful view of the ocean from sunrise to sunset. Our grandchildren enjoyed the ping ping table and the pool table on the ground level, as well as cornhole. It was a wonderful place to gather for a family vacation!

Amazing trip!

This was the first time we have vacationed in Holden Beach. 72 Palms was the perfect trip for our vacation. We had 5 families all staying together and it worked out amazing. I was worried that the walk from the house to the ocean was a little far based on the pictures but it is closer then it looks. The house is decorated awesome. The kids in the group loved playing with the pool table and the ping pong table. The pool and hot tub were constantly used. The second refrigerator in the garage is very helpful. The house had everything we needed for our trip. We made dinner most evenings and the kitchen was stocked! The most amazing part of the house is the view from the kitchen table. That is something I will never forget. Thanks for sharing your amazing home with us!

Beautiful and Unique oceanfront home for large families!

Our large family got to spend the 4th of July week together in this beautiful home and I cannot say enough about how enjoyable and spacious this home is! We have never stayed in a beach front home where we all had a seat at the table for dinner and nobody felt crowded anywhere in the house! This house is very clean and well furnished and would be enjoyable for any size family, but for a large group of 20-25 people, it is perfect and there is still plenty of room and seats for everyone. Even the covered porches had plenty of rocking chairs, chaise lounges, and nice cushioned wicker furniture. The Palm trees and unique exterior of the house make it feel more like a tropical paradise. All of the beds were new and very comfortable! Having the elevator for getting food/luggage upstairs was really a nice bonus! I have stayed at numerous ocean front homes at Holden over the last 30 years, and this one is by far the nicest. The owners were very quick to respond to our initial request to rent the home and the entire process was very smooth with no issues. We had a couple of minor issues while we were there, and the owners responded to my text within hours, not to mention the nice gift bag of goodies left for us upon our arrival. I strongly recommend this home for large family or friend gathering, it is perfect!

This home is located at a great spot on Holden Beach. The boardwalk to a great outlet for surf fishing . The pool and hot tub provided extended fun for the kids. The house is spacious and accommodated all guests. We have a few concerns that we’re quickly addressed by the home owners.

Beautiful views, great location!

This was our second time staying in this house over a 4 yr period. The house is beautiful and the layout is perfect for a large family gathering. The rooms from the many balconies all around the house are beautiful from the ocean to the sound. The beach is very private and the tide pools make for exceptional photos at sunset. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well supplied and perfect for large gatherings. The only negatives we had were the cleanliness of the place. Like everywhere you go these days it is hard to find workers and the place was pretty dirty upon arrival. Even the beds weren't changed in some of the rooms and sand and hair were in beds. Luckily we had extra sheets to remedy this. The house did have some wear and tear over the years but nothing to distract from the fabulous time we all had. Management was also very responsive to any issues we had. Would highly recommend this house just be aware you may have some cleaning to do upon arrival.

Wonderful beach house

The house was everything we expected and more. It's tucked away on the south end of the island abutting beautiful dunes and a long, wide beach. The house was beautiful and had more than enough space for my party (about 14 people). The amenities were great, the host was very responsive whenever I needed him. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a vacation down on the NC shore.

What Vacations Were Meant For

The oceanfront home provided our group with spectacular views. The ICW can be seen and enjoyed from street-side (front of home ) balconies. Similar homes of equal size and quality fill the landscape without impeding upon your view or enjoyment. The beaches were not crowded at all. Lots of beach! Many seashells were available for the avid hunter / collector. For those not familiar with the area, the water is normally much calmer than that of the OBX. Great if you have kids. A couple of young men in our group caught a few sizable flounder which were enjoyed by all. We saw Drum, and other small fish / shark. A fifteen minute beach walk will have you fishing in the ICW. We had several contacts with the owner / manager regarding anything important prior to arrival. If there were any issues which they knew of, they attempted to and did fix the minor things prior to our arrival. We were not hindered or put out in any way. The living, dining and bedrooms were great; plenty of space if you need to get alone. The two dining areas were large enough for our group of fifteen. We ate all of our meals in house, and no one seemed to complain of needing additional utensils, etc. Available laundry rooms were convenient for all parties and worked well. We used the grill twice, and that worked well. *If you want a prep table you might bring a small one. The pool and decking were enjoyed much of each day. If it were a really hot week, one might want to bring an additional umbrella or your own canopy for enough shade for all: 12:00-3:00pm. We had great weather so it was seldom an issue. The hot tub worked well and was enjoyable to many in our group. Great place for long conversations with the family. * we would definitely consider this home again if we need an 8 bed / 8 bath home. The 5,000 sq ft. size of this home means you are not crammed into small rooms or living space. If you have seniors whom are worried about steps, the reverse floor plan allows for two suites to be on the upper / living and dining room level. That was a plus. Our check in featured

Super awesome fun time!

This property exceeded mine and my family’s expectations! It was beautiful, clean and the location was amazing! I love that the beach was never busy, and it was great for the little ones to run around, while the grown ups looked for shells. The pool was perfect, all of us were able to relax and play at the same time, and the pool house was an added bonus. Every room had an amazing view of either the beach or the marsh which was beautiful. The owner was very quick to respond if I had any questions, which was great! Can’t wait to bring our family back for years to come. Everyone has a great time from my 18 month old all the way up to my 74 year old mom. Would recommend this property to everyone.

Beautiful property with amazing view. Main dining room window sadly has broken seal/fogged up obscuring view. FYI: The two queen bedroom, nearest the beach, on second floor window had a major leak during a hard rain storm. Needed towels to soak it up. Counters, floors and tables had crumbs and sticky spots when we arrived that we had to clean be fore hitting the beach.

Another Perfect Stay at 72 Palms

We had an amazing week at 72 Palms! This was our second stay at the house (7 families: 12 adults, 8 kids ages 5-9) and we would recommend it for any large groups. The beach is wide and very private. We enjoyed playing on the beach and in the waves, fishing, playing in the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, and playing games at the spacious dining tables. The kitchen is well stocked and the floor plan is spacious so you don’t feel on top of each other. Communication with the owners was always quick, clear, and easy.

About the host

Hosted by Jason

Host profile image
We are two couples that have vacationed many summers at Holden Beach and fell in love with the charming, non-commercial laid-back environment. Holden Beach is still what we remember about "going to the beach" as kids.

Why they chose this property

We have owned other vacation homes at Holden Beach, but absolutely fell in love with this unique property because there is no other house like it on the island. The amazing views and remote location give you the feeling of being on a private island. Also, the layout of the property creates a resort setting with expansive outdoor areas unlike any others.
