We would appreciate to share our beach home with you and have you stay in either half of our gorgeous 8 bedroom half duplex. Holden Beach is an OUTSTANDING family beach that has not allowed tons of commercial development on the island. The beaches are pristine and the West End is a semi-private community with a gate to limit 'day-trippers'. Our home is well supplied with any luxury that you might need during your stay. There are tons of body boards, chairs, and beach toys located in the lockable storage area under the home that have been included over the years for the enjoyment of others.
'Joy of Flying' has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Two rooms have private en-suite baths. There is room for the kids to play under the home with swings on each side and tons of room for younger kids to ride bicycles or scooters.
New for 2023: Upstairs Master bedroom has been upgraded to a King bed and all beds throughout the home have new bed sets. WiFi has been upgraded to the max. available on the island. The beach is looking great this year. There is always something happening at Holden Beach, nature can be found in all her wonder. This year the rabbits are plentiful although the deer population seems to be a little more reserved and more difficult to watch.
Come join us for a week in heaven: * One of the best rated, least busy and most handsome family beaches found anywhere.
* Very Private, with outstanding ocean-vistas, decks and yet very close proximity to the beach (2nd row, only feet to private beach access.
* Tasteful, cavernous and refreshed accommodations with much more space than most single family homes of similar price
* Approximately 40 world class golf courses within a 40-min. radius.
* Pristine & uncrowded wide white-sand beach
* Plenty of great dining choices, shopping and kids’s amusements, all within a 5-mile radius. New full-service grocery store located just across the bridge on the mainland, now open!
* 24-hour Super Wal-Mart
* Some of the best fishing and boating on the East Coast.
The beaches on the West End of Holden Beach are peaceful and wide. There is always room to throw a ball or Frisbee even on the busiest week of the year. Morning and evening walks are peaceful and calming. You will escape from your anxiety at Holden Beach.
Unwind and appreciate: Unwind and enjoy the rockers on the porch or the swings underneath the home. Inside you'll find a roomy living area (roughly 1800 sq. ft of living space) with updated and tasteful decorations throughout.
Our property is very private, yet you're next to the beach, You will appreciate the location of our home. To walk onto the beach, you simply cross the street on a diagonal and walk down a comfortable wooden walkway to the beach. The beach has been maintained through the years as a family beach with little commercial emphasis.
Holden Beach is still a well-kept secret, perhaps not for long. National Geographic Intelligent Traveler magazine newly ranked Holden Beach among it's top 10 'Finest Family Beaches' category. Additionally, AAA Beach Vacation Travel Journal freshly ranked H.B. one of their 'Top 30 Beaches' overall. H.B. offers a great alternative to the hordes and commercialism of close by N. Myrtle Beach, which is only roughly 30 miles away.
