Vistas, Vistas, Vistas! This gorgeous 6-bedroom home is located just across the street from the ocean with painless beach access just steps away (a 60-second walk or 500 paces). This striking reverse floor plan captures the beauty of the marsh and partial ocean vistas by elevating the open concept kitchen/dining/living areas to the upper level. A two-sided wrap-around covered deck provides an magnificant space to appreciate the vistas while appreciating your morning coffee or an evening beverage. Sunset shows take place daily (weather permitting) from the 3rd-floor terrace as the sun gently disappears over the west-facing marsh. Words can't describe the impressive colors that fill the upper level through its many windows as the sunset show takes place each evening. Great location only 1/2 mile west of the pier makes walking/cycling for ice cream or snacks a real treat.

The kitchen is well outfitted with all the amenities needed for cooking huge family dinners. The dining table can seat up to 10 people plus an additional 3 seats at the kitchen island close by. There is also a great outdoor dining table, ideal for enjoying the ocean vistas on a handsome day. There are many exceptional seating options along the 2 story-covered decks to take in the marvelous vistas, especially the daily sunset show (weather permitting).

Don't worry about overpacking as many beach amenities are supplied including Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs (4), a beach umbrella, cooler, kids' beach toys, beach carts, and 2 beach cruiser bicycles.

Featuring two master bedrooms (each with its own bathroom), this home is ideal for two families looking to book together to savor a amazing vacation at the beach. In addition, there is a modest bedroom with a queen bed as well as a bunk room complete with 2 bespoke constructed-in bunk beds, the ideal space for the kids to call their own. The 5th bedroom is located on the top level and is a sunroom that has been redesigned as an additional sleeping area, ideal for a single looking for their own space and very well may have the best vistas in the entire home. We also just finished a ground-level room into a 6th bedroom complete with a Queen Bed, 1/2 bath, mini-refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. (Please note, this room's entrance is in the carport area and outside the entrance of the main home).


Freshly purchased in March of 2022, we finished a full remodel and bespoke interior design plan that will be sure to impress. The remodel includes all new furnishings throughout the home including new beds, beds, and linens in every sleeping space. Our goal was to create a bespoke unique welcoming space for bigger groups to enjoy, while carving out unique spaces and sitting areas for smaller conversations and alone time.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Holden Beach. To find the best value, try changing your family's Wilmington, NC trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick a perfect Wilmington, NC rental:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Live Elevated - Beautifully designed home with amazing ocean and marsh views! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your vacation.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order 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 feedback.
