Golden on Holden is located in the prime island community of Oceanside. It sits on a corner cul-de-sac lot which adds additional privacy and fast access to the adjacent boardwalk that leads to the beach and clubhouse. The community clubhouse includes an oceanfront swimming pool, private beach access, gated parking, gathering room, bathrooms, and shower facilities. Our enormous yard is great for calming in the sun, swinging in the hammock, playing corn hole, and grilling out with family and friends. We provide a charcoal grille for your use.

LOCATION:
Located on a modest barrier island, Holden Beach is located by water on all sides with eight miles of wide open beaches. Holden Beach has kept its timeless appeal and slow-paced lifestyle. There are no stoplights, high rises, or storefronts on the island. Holden Beach was highlighted on the cover of Coastal Living’s 2020 summer magazine as the Finest Beach in North Carolina.

If you want to take a break from the kitchen, Holden Beach offers a variety of eateries that satisfy both your taste buds and your budget. Sample some of the marvelous, fresh seafood at one of the waterfront grilles. Be sure to try a scoop of homemade ice cream from one of the local hot spots. There are a handful of favorite places to eat on the island for a casual bite to eat, and multiple more just across the bridge on the mainland. Additionally, a grocery store, pharmacy, and local stores are a short drive away.

Strategies to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Southport area. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have coupons for local shops and restaurants.

Planning and picking the perfectrental home:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Spacious family home with private beachfront pool and clubhouse has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If not, email the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is optimal for your vacation.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you long to visit, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Tips for a great stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. message the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
