About this property

SECOND ROW W/ DEEDED BEACH ACCESS ; AWESOME OCEAN AND MARSH INLET VIEWS!

This Second Row recently updated house has an inverted floor plan, meaning the family room, dining, kitchen, and Master (King sized bed) are on the topmost floor so the views can be maximized. There is plentiful dining seating as well as a kitchen with every tool a cook can think to use, if one enjoys cooking meals for the family at the beach. At the entry level one will find a welcoming sitting room, a King bedroom with a shared Jack and Jill bathroom (tub shower) that opens to a bedroom with two twin beds. Also, there is a bunk room for the kids, with two bunk beds and an adjoining private bathroom (shower with detachable shower spray). The washer and dryer are on this level under the staircase. HD cable and a flat screen TV with a soundbar and subwoofer speakers are provided in the family room TV for movie nights, and all the Roku stick enabled TV's have access to HDTV with the Spectrum app. Netflix and Amazon Prime are also provided for free streaming. Excellent Wifi coverage. Deeded beach access is three houses over and across the street.
The under-the-house storage room is fully stocked with a Weber charcoal grill, as well as beach toys and games, chairs, umbrellas, body boards, as well as a cart to tote them on. The foot shower is conveniently located near the front steps for rinsing off sand before entering the house; and for those who enjoy bathing in the fresh air, there is an enclosed outside shower, sink, and changing area.
The beach is not crowded since only ocean front and second row houses share this stretch of sand.
Holden Beach is a family friendly beach where you will find houses and a handful of condos. Enjoy watching the baby turtles hatch in August, or catch a wave with the body boards. Grab dinner at several nearby restaurants, or plan an outing to Myrtle or Wilmington, both only an hour away, and then come back to enjoy the peace and quiet Holden welcomes you with once you cross over that magical curved bridge onto the island. Leave your cares behind and take a deep breath. This is a place to rest. While we provide much of what you need for your stay, please note we do not provide sheets and towels. Check the amenities section.

Since the house is vacant much of the time, security cameras are in use outside the house, but they are turned off once guests have arrived safely and the guest limit has been confirmed.

Ocean and Marsh Views

Amazing views on the upper floor, where the kitchen and living area are. The kitchen bay window makes cooking, and cleaning up, fun as you look out to the intercoastal waterway over the marsh. We enjoyed watching sunsets on the lower deck, catching the beach breeze on the extended area. Plenty of beach provisions and toys in the storage area add to the fun of the short walk to the beach.

Loved it again!

This was our second time staying this house with Saralee as our hostess. We love the location with proximity to beach access. The beach is uncrowded because the access is limited. The house is perfectly equipped for our wants and needs, with plenty of beach gear, games, books, etc. Now that so many Holden houses are owned by rental companies, which can feel so impersonal and like they’re squeezing you for cash, it’s even more refreshing to bring our family to a place run by a family.

Family trip

We had a great week at Holden beach. My parents, my family and my sister's family stayed together and we had just enough room for everyone and still personal space when we needed it. The house is well stocked with kitchen supplies and there were lots of beach supplies provided as well!

Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed our time at Holden Beach. First time for us and we lucked out with finding this house! It fit our needs perfectly! Enjoyed looking out over the marsh in the rear of the property from the large kitchen window and the access to the beach was across the street and a couple of house down. Perfect! Also, I have to compliment the host for answering all our questions and explaining everything so well about the house. Even gave us some recommendations for local restaurants etc. She was terrific!!! All in all a great experience!!❤️

Best area in Holden Beach

1. We drove up and down Holden Beach just to look at what was here. By far, the stretch of land this house is on is the best. 2. Kitchen sink window - absolutely stunning view of the marshlands. If only I could take this home with me . . . 3. Back porch with same peaceful view of marshland, birds soaring and singing, deer, foxes, and the amazing transformation of the land with the tides 4. Quick walk to the beach 5. You can't see the ocean very well from across the street, but who cares with the great backyard? 6. Lots of beach chairs and boogie boards 7. Very friendly and accommodating host

Great location, beautiful back porch view of the marsh. Access for beach a few houses down. Had some issues with the digital lock but SaraLee was prepared and had it remedied quickly. Lots of good beach supplies that you really don't have to bring much of your own! Would stay again!

Much more than a vacation rental.

Saralee's house is very nice, and the view off the back deck and out that kitchen window is awesome. It is definitely better than your average rental. The furnishings were nice, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked. Our friend who did some cooking was quite impressed. It was nice having a king bedroom upstairs and one downstairs as well. I appreciated the little touches like room darkening blinds/curtains in the bedroom , hangers in the closet and the extra pillows, fresh kitchen sponge and even some laundry detergent. Saralee thinks of everything. Working with her was a pleasure. She was responsive from the get go , and made sure to communicate all kinds of info to ensure our stay was a good one. We would definitely want to be able to stay here again.

Beautiful marsh views

We had a wonderful 5 night stay in September. The host is very thorough, instructions are easy to understand. She even called to make sure everything was going well. The home was very clean, with spectacular marsh views and partial ocean views from the numerous well maintained decks. The kitchen was well stocked. Comfortable beds and comfortable furniture throughout the house. The view from the kitchen window can’t be beat!!The beach access was across the street, a few houses away, so convenient. 2 turtle nests actually hatched while we were there, very close to the beach access, but unfortunately we missed them both. Still exciting to know they hatched successfully, and enjoyed talking to the Turtle Watch volunteers. A beautiful home at a great location!

Great place!

The house was really nicely equipped for our family’s beach trip. We loved all the beach gear, games, and TV setup. The owner was super nice and communicative. The beach access was easy and convenient. We have also stayed at places owned and managed by companies, and this was so much warmer of an experience.

Awesome Home Away From Home

Our family loves to travel and have stayed at several VRBO homes. This home was awesome! The host was outstanding with a quick response to every question we had. That in itself is a blessing and gave us great vibes. Once we arrived at the house we fell in love. We had 6 people in our family and there was plenty of room for everyone! The house is beautiful and sooooo close to the beach. The views from standing at the kitchen window looking out over the marsh were breathtaking. It was so nice to have beach chairs at the house and not have to worry about taking our own. We have found a new beach as we fell in love with Holden Beach and will definitely be coming back to this house! Thanks for letting us stay at your amazing house!

The Perfect Beach House

A lovely house with easy beach access across the street enhanced by carts for toys, towels, umbrellas, and a caddy that carried four beach chairs. (The store room has almost everything - you just need to bring beachtowels!) Though we love the beach one of the highlights of our trip was the back deck overlooking the marsh. The photos don't begin to convey the beauty. Because Holden Beach faces south we had the unique experience of enjoying both the sunrise and sunset from the deck. It was the perfect spot to begin and end each day. The huge kitchen window over the sink had a gorgeous view which made cooking and clean up an enjoyable experience. The well-stocked kitchen provided everything we needed. The bedrooms were charmingly decorated and the beds were comfortable. There was ample seating and space in the attractive upstairs living room/dining room. The downstairs sitting room was a nice bonus. Saralee was very helpful and responsive both before and during our stay. I highly recommend this lovely house.

This was a great spot to stay, not too far from the beach access which made transporting the beach supplies easy.

The owners were very helpful and responded very quickly when contacted. We really enjoyed our stay!

Another great stay at Holden Beach!

We just keep coming back to this home on beautiful Holden Beach- Saralee is a great host- very communicative and responsive. The house is big- so our large family of different ages can all enjoy space and good sleep on different schedules (and great beds help too). The view is awesome- it looks over the marsh and the view from the kitchen and back porch is something to look forward to every morning and enjoy every evening. It is close to beach access - it is a second row house that is a very quick walk across the street to get to the beach. The whole family loved it (again)!! Thank you, Saralee, for a great week for our crew.

Great Location and Amenities

We spent a week here with our three adult children and two grandchildren. The house could easily hold more kids with the four bunkbed room. It's a great location with all the beach supplies you need. The beach carts were helpful in getting toys, towels and chairs (all provided except for towels) to and from the beach which is an easy walk. The sunsets over the sound were amazing and provided relaxing evenings. The kitchen was well stocked and provided so many things that we normally have to buy after arriving at a destination (like ziplock bags, foil, lighters) and cooking basics like salt/pepper and cooking oil. The area of the beach at the beach access is not crowded at all which was great. Great beds! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Saralee

Host profile image
Our family has enjoyed many reunions with aunts, uncles and cousins over the past few years, and have kept the house only for personal use. Now we want to share our little piece of Paradise as our families are older and not able to get together as often anymore. Make this the place where your family builds wonderful memories, as ours has and will continue to do.

Why they chose this property

The views off the back upstairs porch are lovely, and the way the house is situated on the lot, it feels private even though we have neighbors. When I sit at the head of the dining table, I can see the ocean out the front windows and a sweeping marsh and inlet view from the side and back windows. Sometimes we see deer in the marsh at low tide.

What makes this property unique

There is a Food Lion Grocery store within a ten minute drive, as well as a Walgreens Pharmacy. Nearby Dozier's Gym offers daily and weekly memberships, and thrift store shopping turns up some real treasures. Shallotte is the nearest town with more dining options and a Walmar, and a new shopping center with a Marshall's, Hobby Lobby, Ulta, and numerous other stores. Also, there are several golf courses nearby. A fun family activity is zip-lining the Shallotte River Swamp Park, which is really fun, and partly an eco-tour of the swamp. We love our house for the stunning marsh views, which I never imagined would be as lovely as they are. I have turned it into our home away from home, and I trust you will enjoy it as much as we do. Also if sitting on the beach with a good book is what you want, it is just steps away!
