Appreciate a OCEANFRONT duplex with extraordinary 270 degree south-facing vistas for all day sun on the beach! This family-friendly and immaculate home features an open main level with living/dining space, a modernized kitchen, and main level queen bedroom. This versatile floor plan includes a 2nd floor with master suite with oceanfront vistas and two additional well-appointed bedrooms. The kitchen features granite countertops, tile backsplash, newer appliances, and is well supplied with every gadget and utensil needed to prepare enormous meals or accommodate take-out from the many eateries on the island.

Sit on the covered deck and watch the sun rise and set over the shining water. The home is positioned closer to the dunes and ocean than the neighboring homes for unobstructed vistas up and down the island. Watch the kids play on the beach from the deck or the many ocean-view windows in the home.

Savor an evening walk on the beach to multiple eateries on the island serving fresh seafood, steaks and invigorating island drinks. Have dessert at the local ice cream shop before heading back for a calming nighttime listing to the ocean surf.

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 appreciating all that Holden has to offer. We would adore 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 appreciate helping our renters plan the ideal vacation and that will exceed your expectations.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Holden Beach vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your Southport rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Amazing Oceanfront Home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
