Marker 57 - 5 Bedroom 4.5 Bath House, Holden Beach, Walk to Beach, On Intracoastal Waterway, Pool, Dock, Sleeps12

****New to the Rental Market****

****Please Note: There is a floating dock, but be aware that the waves can be huge and the water depth can get less than two feet deep at low tide. The float moves generously with the waves. Some boats will handle the waves okay with proper spring lines and fenders. Others should consider it too risky.****

Holden Beach home “Marker 57” is located on the Intercoastal Waterway with its own dock, pool, and a short approximate 5-min. breathtaking walk along the marsh to the beach and General Store. Being on the actual ICW is a lot different from a canal home, which is more typical. Marker 57 offers wide sweeping vistas of water, marsh, and nature, instead of feeling so surrounded by other homes. It offers a front row seat to watch the yachts traveling by and other boaters having fun.

The dock has a gazebo with plenty of seating, a sink, electricity, and lighting. Thoughtful owners have supplied kayaks, as this is a great place to use them! The owners also say that the fishing has proven to be impressive. Due to the East/West orientation of the waterway here, Marker 57 gets both sunrise and sunset vistas that can be spectacular! Dolphins can often be seen cruising by on a regular basis.

The 50-acre marsh next to the home is a great natural asset for Marker 57. There is a outstanding tidal creek that curves right in front of the home and right beside the home. It provides a lot of bait for fishing and offers a fun, 1-mile round-trip around an island and into the waterway for kayaks.

The pool adds tons of fun to Marker 57. It is a nice 13x26 size and overlooks the marsh. The pool can be heated (for an additional fee) if you choose. The owner has placed regulation marks on the pool deck and supplied a Corn Hole game set for you to savor. The pool area also has its own hot and cold outdoor shower.

A Grandiose Central Hang-Out has been created on the ground level in the garage. If it is really hot or rainy, but you still want to be outside, this is the place to be! It’s striking how nice this area can be when all three bay doors are open to the view of the marsh and creek! Open the front and back doors as well and let the breeze come through. In addition to room for two cars, there is a huge sitting area with TV and a Ping-Pong area. There is a second laundry room with refrigerator and freezer, microwave, and air fryer, as well as a full bathroom with sizable utility sink and bathtub. This area is called “Grand Central” due to its location between the dock and pool, people coming and going to the beach, and people in and out of the home. This is a great part of Marker 57.

Marker 57 has 5 bedrooms including, the bunk room. All 5 bedrooms have enormous TVs, handsome vistas, and direct access to the outside porches. 2 bedrooms have private full baths. 2 bedrooms have a shared full bath. There is a half bath in the hall near the bunk room. Plus, the full bath on the ground level. There is a tankless gas water heater that is designed to provide countless hot water for all 5 showers at the same time.
