It is one of the biggest beachfront units on the east coast. A private estate in a gated community, it is located on a twenty-two acre wildlife preserve at the tip of the island. Here, you can converse with nature, watch deer, fox, and rabbits in their natural habitat, all the while appreciating a spectacular three hundred and sixty degree view of the beach and the Shallotte inlet. You can even see as far as Ocean Isle Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway. A view nothing like you have seen before at the beach.

(Cant find your dates? I also own: Southern Grace (Listing #4038010) and Southern Bliss (Listing #7109460).

The home itself is, for lack of a better word, spectacular. It will sleep up to 50 guests in one of its 16 enormous, well-appointed bedrooms (each has its own bathroom). It features two upsized suites along with 5 other bedrooms equipped with king size beds. There are seven bedrooms furnished with both a combination of queen beds as well as queen and single configurations. Let the kids appreciate their midnight pillow fights in one of the two bunk rooms, outfitted with both double and triple bunk beds. One bedroom is also HANDICAP accessible with a handicap bathroom. The home’s 17 bathrooms guarantee that no one ever has to wait before they grab their shower. In addition, the convenient elevator gives those tired knees a rest from all that beach volleyball.

There are two giant living spaces on each floor plus a secondary living room on the first floor. You’ll find yourself spending tons of time in the impressive over-sized great room. It features windows on three sides of the home that serve to bring the outside in. There’s also a separate movie/game room featuring a huge HDTV, game table and foosball table. Speaking of TV’s, you’ll think that you are in Command Central. There are a total of 18 TVs throughout the home. These are Roku TVs so bring your logins or watch their complimentary content. If you want to surf the internet, or perhaps just catch up on a little late nighttime work, a blazing 500 Mbps of WI-FI Mesh access is available.

The upstairs movie/game room has a kitchenette (sink, microwave, drink refrigerator) and is a great hangout for the kids or to hold a breakout session with your church or club members. But when it’s time to really showcase your culinary skills preparing all that freshly caught seafood, you’re going to want to pull out all the stops and put the additional-sizable kitchen to work. The three fridges units keep everything fresh and cool while the 10-burner cooktop, 3 ovens and 3 microwaves let you try out your latest recipes.

You can bask in the sunshine beside the huge private pool, which can be heated when those nights get chilly (additional fee). With the beach having an east/west orientation, you get to see the sunrise and sunset and not loose the sun at the pool in the afternoon. When you’re tired of working on that tan, you can pull your chair over to the covered area on the large pool deck. This will get you out of the sun but still allow you to keep an eye on the kids in the pool. After the sun goes down, it’s time to grab a drink at the Tiki Bar. Or challenge someone to a game of corn hole, basketball (bring your ball), ring toss, etc. This area is well designed for large group gatherings and the presence of two gas grilles make food preparation painless for any type of event.

There are two full service laundry rooms equipped with washers and dryers, to make it simple to get all that sand out of your swimsuits, and if you’re worried about having too many on your guest list, there’s parking available for up to 24 cars.

Tired of those reverse floor plans with all the walking up and down? Have the common area integrated with the outside/pool area for better outside use and flow. Kitchen and great room on the elevated first floor with deck stairs to pool.

As you sit and relax, watching the sand and surf, from one of the double level decks on each side of the home, you see why Holden Beach has been nationally recognized as one of the premier “Family Beaches in the USA.” You will also make a mental note to return and experience ‘Southern Charm’ as often as you can. Just right for your family vacation, reunion, church getaway or event. All this for less than what a nice hotel would charge on a per room, per nighttime basis! With the 8200 s.f. of space, private pool, and ocean right in front of you thrown in! Whether you need a 13, 14 or 15 bedrooms or more, ‘Southern Charm’ has it all.

*IMPORTANT check-in/out requirements and pricing*:
*To book, 40% down (plus costs and taxes). Final payment 90 days from arrival.

*Sunday to Sunday rental (7-nighttime minimum) during summer season (great so you don't hit the typical Saturday rental turnover traffic). Other check-in days okay outside of the summer.

*To see accurate prices, search on Sunday to Sunday. Sunday to Thursday or Thursday to Sunday (or Friday to Monday Mem/Labor Day weekends-Xmas/New Years varies). Those are the only days you can book. I can bespoke adjust your dates, non summer, from there but those days of the week are the only ones that show the correct pricing. Prices accurate to Dec. 2025 (ask about pricing beyond that).

*Special rates for Church groups November through March.

*Weddings are welcome! $1,000 event fee.

*We highly encourage you to buy trip insurance in case your plans change. Grand groups plan far in advance to get on everybody’s schedule. And with so many people, things can change or hurricane’s can come. We have little ability to re-rent for you to get your money back for any last min. changes so best to purchase trip insurance. It costs 7% for standard insurance or 10.8% for Cancel For Any Reason insurance (covers you for everything as you do not need a reason). After you book I can send a link to these options.

Finding the best Holden Beach vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Oceanfront-16 bedrooms UPDATED FOR 2024 SEASON\/Pool\/Elevator\/Tiki Bar\/Gated Com. has 16 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. Otherwise, email the host before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or might be applied to your invoice.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
