About this property
4 Bd/3+ Ba West side duplex: Gated community; quiet, exclusive, relaxing, family
Pristine 4 Bedroom 3 1/2 bath West side of Duplex available to rent as separate or combine to rent the whole house and enjoy 8 bedrooms and 6 full, 2 half baths. Ideal for families. We provide a personalized Linen service for every week. You now just show up and our home is ready for your family. The beds are made and towels are hanging in the bathrooms. This service is not normal at Holden Beach and will normally be an additional charge.
We would love to share our beach home with you and have you stay in either half of our lovely 8 bedroom half duplex. Holden Beach is an OUTSTANDING family beach that has not allowed lots of commercial development on the island. The beaches are pristine and the West End is a semi-private community with a gate to limit 'day-trippers'. Our house is well stocked with any amenity that you might need during your stay. There are lots of boogie boards, chairs, and beach toys located in the lockable storage area under the house that have been provided over the years for the enjoyment of others.
'Joy of Flying' has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Two rooms have private en-suite baths. There is room for the kids to play under the house with swings on each side and lots of room for younger kids to ride bikes or scooters.
New for 2023: Upstairs Master bedroom has been upgraded to a King bed and all beds throughout the house have new mattress sets. WiFi has been upgraded to the maximum available on the island. The beach is looking great this year. There is always something happening at Holden Beach, nature can be found in all her wonder. This year the rabbits are plentiful although the deer population seems to be a little more reserved and more difficult to watch.
Come join us for a week in paradise: * One of the best rated, least crowded and most beautiful family beaches found anywhere. * Very Private, with wonderful ocean-views, decks and yet very close proximity to the beach (2nd row, only feet to private beach access. * Tasteful, spacious and renovated accommodations with much more space than most single family homes of similar price * Approximately 40 world class golf courses within a 40-minute radius. * Pristine & uncrowded wide white-sand beach * Plenty of great dining choices, shopping and children’s amusements, all within a 5-mile radius. New full-service grocery store located just across the bridge on the mainland, now open! * 24-hour Super Wal-Mart * Some of the best fishing and boating on the East Coast.
The beaches on the West End of Holden Beach are quiet and wide. There is always room to throw a ball or Frisbee even on the busiest week of the year. Morning and evening walks are peaceful and relaxing. You will escape from your stress at Holden Beach.
Relax and enjoy: Relax and enjoy the rockers on the porch or the swings underneath the house. Inside you'll find a spacious living area (approximately 1800 sq. ft of living space) with updated and tasteful decorations throughout.
Our property is very private, yet you're next to the beach, You will love the location of our house. To walk onto the beach, you simply cross the street on a diagonal and walk down a comfortable wooden walkway to the beach. The beach has been maintained through the years as a family beach with little commercial emphasis.
Holden Beach is still a well-kept secret, perhaps not for long. National Geographic Smart Traveler magazine recently ranked Holden Beach among it's top 10 'Best Family Beaches' category. Additionally, AAA Beach Vacation Travel Journal recently ranked H.B. one of their 'Top 30 Beaches' overall. H.B. offers a great alternative to the crowds and commercialism of nearby N. Myrtle Beach, which is only approximately 30 miles away.

House was nice, good location, very roomy, brightest lights of any place we have ever stayed. Felt secure and safe. Instructions for the TV would have been nice. Too many texts and emails from VROS and Point Central. I would rather just communicate with the owners. VROS, Point Central and owner instructions were different. We followed what was posted in the house.
Great property. Super location near beach. Quiet and peaceful just as we hoped. Great response from owner/maintenance support over minor issue. Would love to come back.
We have stayed here at this property a number of times. We have got to know the owners & they are just wonderful people to work with. We will be back & thank you.
