This new, 5-bedroom home, finished in May 2016, features the best decks on the island. Savor ocean and marsh vistas from two levels of wrap around porches that ensure plenty of sun or shade to meet your mood at any time of the day. From the back decks we have spotted deer, coyotes, and numerous bird species. From the front deck, you can see dolphins playing in the wake of shrimping boats, rabbits hopping in the dunes, and on May 6th, we even spotted a whale breaching.

The CAMA public beach access directly across the street makes getting to the beach a breeze, and a private pool, shaded at mid-day, offers a calming alternative to the ocean. Your family will have plenty of opportunities to savor the water.

The home is constructed on an inverted floor plan with four bedrooms on the first level: facing the ocean are: a six-person bunk bed room that is ideal for kids and a queen bedroom, and facing the marsh are one queen bedroom and one bedroom with two twin beds. The master bedroom, with a king bed, provides an extraordinary ocean view from the second level. Also on the second level are: the kitchen, dining room and living room, all with vistas of both the ocean and marsh. This home has beds for 8 adults and 6 kids. 10 adults can also comfortably sleep with two adults per bedroom.

This home has two levels of wrap around porches to optimize vistas of the ocean and marsh. Appreciate vistas of the ocean from rocking chairs on the top deck or the first floor deck. Enjoy a meal and a spectacular marsh view from the top rear deck - you might spot deer, raccoons and coyotes and you will definitely see multiple birds and crabs. Unwind by the marsh on the first floor rear deck with cushioned patio furnishings and a 4 person table ideal for a board game or a snack. The front and rear decks are connected through sizable side decks which provide great play areas for kids. Should pool time prove too much fun, take a break at the pool-side, shaded picnic table. It is a great spot for lunch and it's close to the charcoal grille available for renters to use. If you're visiting us in the off-season, the pool can be heated for your comfort.

This is our dream home and because we want you to feel at home here we offer toys, games, books, beach chairs, beach tent, linen and towel service and a outfitted kitchen. We hope to welcome you soon!

Our top Holden Beach rental property booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental home value:

• To get the best value, try shifting your family's Southport vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Southport rental home:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 5 Bedroom 2nd Row Home with Heated Pool and Spectacular Marsh and Ocean Views has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your family.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you simply love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
