This elegant property is ideal for your next island hideaway! Located in the private gated community of Dunescape, this East End neighborhood features charming natural dunes, painless beach access, and spectacular inlet vistas.

Courtesy of the handsome covered wraparound porch, you can relax and savor the vistas of the rolling dunes to the East and the shining Atlantic to the South. Sip your morning coffee on the porch swing while watching the waves meet the shore and experience total serenity. You can also appreciate your evening hors d'oeuvres and beverages on the comfortable patio furnishings while listening to the calming sounds of coastal nature. Make a splash in the private pool or watch as your cares melt away in the Carolina sun while calming on the pool deck! Savor al fresco dinners prepared on the gas grille by the pool. Or enjoy a drink and the sunset around the gas fireplace table during the chillier months! The only thing that competes with the attractiveness of the outside of this home is inside! The open-flow concept of the kitchen, dining, and living areas offers striking vistas of the surrounding scenery. There are literally vistas from every window that showcase the beauty of Holden Beach.

Natural light and coastal chic decor are generous throughout this alluring home. In the roomy kitchen, you will find everything needed to prepare your gourmet fresh catch. You will also find a coffee bar to help get your day of fun started off right with your favorite morning brew. Both a Keurig and drip coffee maker are included for your convenience. In the enormous dining area, there is seating for four at the high-top bar and six at the striking dining room table. Just up the stairs, you will see your new favorite lounge area in the loft that overlooks even more spectacular vistas through the soaring windows of the great room. The ground level has a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a additional room for the kids to sleep and lounge. This additional room shares the bathroom with the bedroom on that level. There is also a garage area that leads out to the pool with an additional refrigerator to store cool beverages to enjoy in the sun. There is no ice maker in this freezer but plenty of room to store bags of ice that you can purchase locally. The upstairs refrigerator in the kitchen does have a normal ice maker.

The walk to the beach is a breeze. You can either access the beach from the public access across from the entrance to the Dunescape community (Dunescape Drive) or use the Dunescape community boardwalk. This boardwalk can be accessed by taking a right at the end of the driveway onto Windswept Way and following the street to where it intersects with Serenity Lane. The boardwalk is across from the intersection between 2 homes and leads to the beach strand. The Dunescape community also provides a community pool, tennis courts, a basketball court, a sand volleyball court, and beach access from the clubhouse. There is plenty of parking to enjoy these amenities if you decide to drive your car, rent a golf cart, or even take a leisurely walk.

This pool may be heated from September - May for an additional $500 fee per week. Please note that under optimal conditions, the pool can be heated 10 degrees above the outside temperature/max. of 87°F. Please call our office for more details as for optimal use, this service should be scheduled in advance.

All bathrooms include one roll of toilet paper, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, makeup wipes, and bar soap. Your beds are made with fresh linens and a lightweight blanket, so you can jump right into making memories rather than making beds! While we provide a lightweight blanket, we urge you to bring additional layers for your comfort. Please note that while top bunk beds, trundles, sleeper couches, futons, and daybeds will not be made, we will provide fresh linens for them.

As a gift to you, this home offers a $250 credit for you to select top-quality beach gear for your vacation stay.

Strategies to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Sticking to a budget:

  • In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
  • June, July, and August are high season in Holden Beach. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
  • Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Filter your search:

  • Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Hobbs Realty - New to the market, \"Carolina Pearl\" offers incredible inlet views and a heatable private pool. has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
  • Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
  • Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.
  • Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
  • Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips to have a great stay:

  • Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
  • Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
  • To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
  • Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.

Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor.

The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
