WELCOME to “Scotch Bonnet” our freshly purchased home here at Holden Beach. It is a second row home with private beach access directly across the street from the home. Holden Beach and this home supplied everything we were looking for in a family vacation spot. The sweeping ocean vistas from inside and outside of the home, private beach access, backyard pool, and immaculately maintained coastal interior will make you feel as if you have found your new favorite place on earth. Sitting in the swing on the porch you feel like you are Ocean Front. The ground floor provides painless access to the backyard pool which is equipped with pool floats and water toys, a surfboard bar, outdoor grille, and plenty of comfortable pool side seating. The home may be entered from the ground level by interior or exterior stairs and/or elevator providing for simple access from the beach or pool. Upon entering the 1st floor, guests will immediately notice the attention to detail in every space. This home was designed to be a true home away from home and is well adored. The main floor features 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (2 King Beds, 1 Queen bed) as well as a full laundry area. The upstairs is a open Kitchen/Living/Dining area with all of the amenities one may need as well as striking ocean vistas. It is easy to find your self caught up here watching the dolphins play and/or the pelicans dive for the next meal. The 2nd floor also offers 2 bedrooms (1 queen and 1 bunk room that sleeps 6) 1 jack and jill full bath, and a guest 1/2 bath. The Scotch Bonnet also has 3 decks for your enjoyment (2 overlook the charming Atlantic and 1 overlooks the pool area).
The Scotch Bonnet is located a short distance to the Holden Beach bridge, but far enough away to avoid the traffic. Ice cream, coffee, Intracoastal, tennis/pickleball courts, concerts in the park, turtle watch programs, weekly tie-die shirts for kids/adults, boat/kayak launch are all within walking distance of the home. Additionally a cycling/walking path runs most of the island and is located directly in front of the home on Ocean Blvd. There are multiple local stores and surf stores that we frequent. Most of these are located just across the bridge. We recommend checking out Provision Co., Mankins, The Scoop, Mermaid's, Patronie's, Inlet View in Shalotte or Lou Lou's for local eats. Saltwater Shanty and Beaches n' Cream are our choice for local ice cream. There are also numerous businesses that provide fresh caught seafood and vegetables if you choose to eat in for the nighttime. Lockwood Folly County Club close by offers golf for the golfers in the family. Additionally, Shallote is only 15 mins. a way and offers numerous good eateries and a local arcade/bowling alley. Calabash and Southport are only 30 mins. away by car with many food and shopping choices in cozy handsome coastal environments. Myrtle Beach and Wilmington are an approximate 45 min. drive. Finally, beach walks always provide sea treasures on Holden and are a favorite activity of our family. Don't forget to leave a message in the mailbox on either the east or west end. You will find Holden offers everything a family wants in a beach hideaway, but leaves out all the things you don't.

We look forward to sharing our home with you and your family this season. The pool can be heated fall and spring for an additional fee. The home is 5 bedroom/4.5 bath and sleeps 14 comfortably. We hope you make many memories here and fall in appreciate with "The Scotch Bonnet" just as we have.

Tips to get the best Holden Beach vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summer is high season in the Brunswick area area. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area travel guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the perfect rental:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Amazing Views Plus Pool & Private Beach Access Make for a Great Family Vacation has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
