About This House:

We purchased this home when our kids were young. We used the 2 bedroom downstairs ourselves and rented the 3 bedroom upper unit. Our kids grew up and had kids of their own. We'd outgrown our comfortable 2 bedroom unit. We then put in a spiral staircase that connects the two units, so it can be used as one 5 bedroom home with two living areas and two kitchens during the peak summer season when enormous combined families vacation together. We have a lock out door and insulation for the stairwell that we put in place during the spring and autumn. We've rented our lower unit and the upper unit simultaneously to unrelated events for many years now. We have no problems or complaints about this arrangement from our renters who choose our home. Offering both units for rent simultaneously accepts us to price very competitively.

ABOUT HOLDEN BEACH
Welcome to Holden Beach, North Carolina, where family values and old fashioned fun are still a part of your vacation. Holden Beach has a very modest commercial area on the island. That point is considered by many to be a key reason to keep them coming back year after year. While there are limited commercial establishments on the island, everything one could want is located within a short driving distance.

The causeway leading to the island contains many specialty stores and stores, and the Town of Shallotte just 10 mins. away has numerous chain grocery and department stores that provide all the necessities. Wilmington and Myrtle Beach are only 35-45 mins. away and if you can't find what you're looking for there, it doesn't exist.

There are over 125 superb golf courses within a one-hour drive from Holden Beach. Courses range from very challenging to user-friendly for golfers who don't always hit the ball where they want it to go. The Myrtle Beach area is perhaps the best region in the United States to find a course just right. Seasonal prices vary.

Boating, fishing and hiking the island are very fashionable activities. Shell hunters can find so many that the kids will fill up the car when they return home. The island is a sea turtle habitat and during the hatching season (May to October) those who don't mind staying up late at nighttime can witness one of nature's most interesting pleasures – watching hundreds of modest sea turtles "boil' out of the sand and marching to the ocean.

There is no other North Carolina barrier island like Holden Beach. Low commercial impact, hundreds of handsome rental homes (many with dockage for fishing and enjoyment boating) and a wholesome family-aligned ambiance.

Lockwood Folly Country Club and River's Edge Golf Club are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Magic Mountain Fun Park and Planet Fun.

Strategies to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• To get the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.

Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
