About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

RECENTLY RENOVATED with new floor, rugs, carpets and trim painting throughout.

Freshly Painted exterior, including all decks and railings.

Very little actual carpeting, easier to keep clean.

Stunning, two-level, luxury, duplex home located on peaceful street at "The Family Beach." Ideal for one, two, or three couples, modest families.

Fantastic vistas from 4 decks. Backs up to marshland, Intercoastal Waterway - watch the boats go by from the multi-level back decks. Half block from beach with semi-private access (no public access there means less crowd)- undeveloped tons in front provide for great ocean vistas and sounds. See the ocean and listen to the waves crash as you relax on either of the two front decks. All decks are furnished, newly painted/stained, matted for cooling and lower decks and patio provide shade if desired.

Light colors and picture windows on three of four walls give great bright and open feel, very sunny. We freshly refreshed the Master bedroom with new twin beds that convert to a King if desired. Families seem to appreciate the flexibility.

On the right day you will see one of the most charming sunsets imaginable off of our back decks.

Updated, Florida Villa style decorations. Cozy furnishings, breakfast bar, vaulted ceilings, well equipped kitchen are a few living features. Dining and breakfast bar seats seven for meals.

Three TVs (36 inch big screen in living room, wall-mounted flat screen 20 inch in master, 32 in intelligent TV in guest), complimentary wifi, DVD, cd player and digital cable provide in-home entertainment options.

Grand backyard, Bar-B-Que/picnic area. Paved cement patio, driveway and under-home (on pilings) parking for multiple cars/boat. A newly updated outdoor shower and changing area are available for cleaning up the family after the beach.

Full weeks only during summer. Nightly units available (minimum stay) in offseason or last-min. during high-season if vacant, please feel complimentary to e-mail, we are very busy but will get back to you.

Holden has a variety of restaurant options, boutique shopping and world class golf within a few miles. It is very unique in that there are many entertainment, dining, recreation and shopping optons on one side of the "big bridge", while the island itself across the bridge is mainly homes, peaceful and calming. It is the peaceful hideaway many are looking for, with the amenities to make it delightful right there as well.

Boat, jet-ski units available at HB Marina. Fishing and crabbing areas readily available.

We appreciate our "home away from home" and think you will too. We have traveled all over the world and find Holden to be the best beach anywhere for a calming, peaceful, courteous coastal vacation.

Please see renter feedback/comments and contact us with any concerns. We are very painless to work with and understand that this non-traditional rental situation (directly from owner) is new to some, we are confident you will be pleased with the experience.

Additional photos available upon request.

Savor, Eric and Jamie.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Holden Beach rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Holden Beach. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking yourrental:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Holden Beach Luxury Dunes Home.....Quiet, Unobstructed ICW Views has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
