ABOUT HOLDEN BEACH: Welcome to Holden Beach, North Carolina, where family values and old fashioned fun are still a part of your vacation. Holden Beach has a very small commercial area on the island. That point is considered by many to be a key reason to keep them coming back year after year. While there are limited commercial establishments on the island, everything one could desire is located within a short driving distance.

The causeway leading to the island contains numerous specialty stores and shops, and the Town of Shallotte just 10 minutes away has several chain grocery and department stores that provide all the necessities. Wilmington and Myrtle Beach are only 35-45 minutes away and if you can't find what you're looking for there, it doesn't exist.

There are over 125 superb golf courses within a one-hour drive from Holden Beach. Courses range from very challenging to user-friendly for golfers who don't always hit the ball where they want it to go. The Myrtle Beach area is perhaps the best region in the United States to find a course just right.

Boating, fishing and hiking the island are very popular activities. Shell hunters can find so many that the kids will fill up the car when they return home. The island is a sea turtle habitat and during the hatching season (May to October) those who don't mind staying up late at night can witness one of nature's most interesting pleasures – watching hundreds of small sea turtles "boil' out of the sand and marching to the ocean.

There is no other North Carolina barrier island like Holden Beach. If you're looking for low commercial impact, and a friendly family-oriented atmosphere, you have come to the right place.

Family vacation

This was our first time staying in Holden Beach. We loved the location of the house and being oceanfront. The pool was such a nice addition to the house. It was the perfect size and we thoroughly enjoyed using it. The house had plenty of room for our family. We were met with a smell in the downstairs portion of the house. This seemed to linger all week despite usingairfreshener.

Had a great week at Wind Beneath My Wings.

House is ideally located for easy beach access and because there were no houses but Oceanside in this area; the beach was never crowded. Having two fully equipped kitchens was great for a family week at the beach. Pool was very clean and a good size. We had a great week; would definitely consider renting again.

A Great Time Was Had by All!!!

This is our second year renting Wind Beneath My Wings and plan on reserving again for next year. It is the perfect house for multi-generational gatherings. There is enough room to congregate as a large group or break into smaller groups. We had a great time and once again voted as a family to make it our destination again for next year.

Nice location, great pool

The location of the property is great, and we all enjoyed the pool and the beautiful beach. The pool is cooled so even on the hottest days and times we were able to enjoy it. The house is adequately stocked, although all the pots, pans, mattresses, etc are very well used. My biggest issue was with the cleanliness of the house. The house is older and that adds to its charm, but the floors and rugs were sandy and did not appear to have been thoroughly vacuumed. The bathrooms were also less than pristine. The downstairs was much cleaner although there was a moth ball smell that lingered the whole week. Also, there were random old/ discarded beach toys and other items stored on the porches. These did not cause any problems, but could easily be removed for a more welcoming presentation. All of the appliances worked and met our needs. The communication from the owner was appropriate and thorough.

Awesome!!

This house is absolutely perfect!!! We have previously rented the top unit only, and that unit is also perfect! We enjoy this home so much. It has everything a family needs to enjoy their vacation!! Kitchens are well equipped with your everyday things. They have beach chairs, beach toys for the kids! The pool was a big hit with everyone, especially the kids. The view to the ocean or marsh land are also awesome! This house is also pet friendly, and my dogs truly think this is their second home!! ( I wish it was) Bill and Beth have put a lot of care into this property and it shows! They are always accessible if a problem should arise. Thank you Bill and Beth for sharing this property with us!! We hope to be back next year!!

Best bargain on Holden Beach!

Wind beneath My Wings (both units together) is the deal you can find on Holden Beach. It's only 2 miles from the bridge, there's an in-ground salt water pool and you get two kitchens and two living rooms! It's absolutely perfect for an entire family. We had 8 adults, 2 teenagers, and 3 youngsters. Everyone had breathing rooms and never got in each others' way. The owner is incredibly easy to deal with, very nice, and immediately reachable in case there is a problem. She was very accommodating a specific request as well. We cannot recommend this house highly enough!

Perfect For Us !

This house was perfect for our 3 generation family. It came with just about everything that you could possibly need in the kitchen. Nicely decorated and everything felt clean and comfortable. We normally drive on vacations like this so that we can bring all our beach gear, but we could have easily flown as well. This is because the house came with low sitting beach chairs, a wagon, plenty of sand toys for the kids, and two outdoor grills. We sat out on the porch in the mornings watching the ocean, the shell hunting on the beach was fantastic, and the pool was lovely! There is a large deck overlooking the pool and the seniors in our group enjoyed watching the pool play from there. We had an amazing stay and were really sad to leave! We hope to be back next year.

Wonderful !

Our stay here was wonderful! The space is accommodating for a larger group and the location is superb. The downstairs unit was perfect for our late sleepers without the hustle and bustle of the morning upstairs! The deck is huge and perfect for hanging outside. Pool was warm and we were just steps away from the beach. The house was clean and well-maintained and Beth was a great host who responded to messages quickly. Would definitely recommend.

BEST WEEK EVER!!

Wind Beneath My Wings is the perfect house for our family. The pool was great when the surf was too rough for the little ones. The interior layout worked as everyone could congregate upstairs for family time or be separate to do other things like homeschool. This was our first trip to Holden Beach but won't be our last. Thank you Beth and Bill for allowing us to stay in your home!!

Beautiful Oceanside stay at Holden beach

Having been newly renovated, the house looked immaculate. We loved sitting on porch and watching the ocean and enjoying the ocean breeze. My family loved the new pool. Wonderful!!! A salt water pool…we loved that! House was beautifully decorated and felt spacious with 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms and dining rooms. Kitchen well stocked. Everything was neat and tidy. I really liked that !

The view from the deck of the ocean was breathtaking. We enjoyed the beach as well as the pool, which was just right for our children. The walk to the beach from the house was very easy to navigate.

6/26-7/10/21 stay at Wind Beneath My Wings

The beach house had a great location (not near a public access). The owner, Beth, was great to work with. The layout with the circular staircase was problematic for some in the family. We thought there was a significant amount of the owners stuff that limited using the front and back porches. We have not run into that at other rentals on Holden Beach. We also felt the rent was high considering the age and condition of the house. However, overall we had a nice stay. Thank you.

Beachfront Retreat

This property is ideally situated on the beachfront in Holden Beach with no homes located behind it - so you have the beach to yourself. The house is the perfect size for a large family to share with 3 bedrooms up and 2 downstairs. Beth was great throughout the booking and arrival process. This was our first time to Holden Beach and this proved to be a great location - the kids could walk to the general store and ice cream shop each evening.
