Heated pool re-opens in March. Weeks still available for much of 2026.
Pelican Watch is a gorgeous 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, plus outside shower, which is oceanfront on the East End of Holden Beach. Our private heated pool is open from early March until late November. The beach strand is frequently renourished and is broad and in great shape. The home is very tall and sits behind two rows of dunes and a limited use one-way street. Take a short walk to stairs over our protective dunes to access the uncrowded beach strand.
Holden Beach, and especially the "East End" is much less densely developed than many Carolina beaches.
Pelican Watch is very tall with great sweeping vistas over the dunes, beach strand and the Atlantic. Three of the 4 bedrooms as well as the living room are oceanfront with plenty of glass. The ELEVATOR goes from the ground / parking level to the top floor, without a stop at the lower living level. The top floor (served by elevator) supplied: living room; dining; kitchen; elevated sitting area with access to a back deck; oceanfront porch; one Oceanfront queen suite, and a half bath off common areas. The lower living level (no elevator stop) has: Oceanfront suite with king bed; oceanfront bedroom with queen bed which shares a bath with back bedroom with a full-size bed and roll out single trundle.
Private heated pool has lounge chairs. We have a collection (varies) of beach chairs, pool floats, body boards,
Our kitchen is much better outfitted than the typical beach rental. My wife and I designed Pelican Watch and it's our third (now only one) home on the East End. We are actively involved in the entire operation and are supported by longtime local cleaning and maintenance professionals.
Sometimes the calendar might show as "blocked" but might be available. I'm retired and I get there frequently but often have flexibility. Reach out with any questions,
Thanks, Irv Woods
PS Over 90% of of annual rental nights are booked by multi-years repeat renters, some for more than 15 consecutive years.
