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 upsized wraparound decks, and amazing one-of-a-kind ocean and inlet vistas. Bordering the property is a 24-acre natural preserve -- a really exclusive surrounding. This resort property includes refreshed furnishings, linens (bed linens supplied), appliances, and décor.

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

This sizable family-friendly and immaculate home features an inverted floor plan that includes a gourmet kitchen, enormous living room, two dining areas and two master bedrooms on the top floor. Both master bedrooms are cavernous and have ocean and intracoastal waterway vistas and huge en suite bathrooms. The kitchen has bespoke granite countertops, tile backsplash, new appliances, constructed-in commercial refrigerator double ovens, and is well-outfitted with every gadget, modest appliance, and utensil needed to prepare huge meals or accommodate take-out from any of the many eateries on the island. The living room includes new furnishings with a sizable flat-screen tv, expansive ocean vistas, bar area with a constructed-in ice maker and wine refrigerator that spills over to a huge 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 couch is a ideal hangout space for kids 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 drink storage. The game room leads directly out to the broad pool deck and is the ideal entertainment space.

The 3/4 acre grounds include lush landscaping, over 70 enormous palm trees, fenced yard, and a backyard getaway with a large deck ideal for calming by the saltwater pool and hot tub, grilling dinner or appreciating the afternoon sun and warm nighttime breeze. The pool home includes a full bath -- a great convenience for coming off the beach. The expansive vistas from any of the 6 porches are unlike any vistas of the ocean and intracoastal waterways on the island. Walk along the lighted catwalk down to the beach which is very secluded; or appreciate the beachfront gazebo. The home is one of the last properties on the west end of the island and is extremely private and peaceful.

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

Holden Beach is a peaceful, 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 roughly 35 miles from Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC -- making trips for shopping, eating and entertaining very convenient. Holden Beach is also well-located for 30 area golf courses.

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

Strategies to get the very best rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. Reserve your Southport vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best vacation rental in the Southport area:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Amazing Oceanfront Resort has 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

Know before you go:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
