This classic bungalow has all this and much more. The "Mary J" is great for families with comfortable furnishings and an open floor plan. Each of the three bedrooms sleeps two adults and a kid and there is an additional bed on the porch for napping. Open the windows like people used to do to appreciate ocean breezes or turn on the window air conditioners if needed. Outside areas include a deck overlooking the ocean and space under the home for the kids to play, adults to relax and grille, and the family to picnic. Also downstairs are two showers with hot and cold water and a sizable storage room for your beach toys. There is room for parking three cars in the yard in front of the home. The short walk from the home to the beach access is only about 3-4 mins..

This home has everything for the ideal beach vacation ! The beach slopes gently to the water and is ideal for outdoor fun. Walk towards the east end of the island to swim in the tide pools at low tide and search for sand dollars and sea shells. If you are up for a longer walk, you can walk around the end of the island to discover one of the Holden Golden Memory Mailboxes located on the intracoastal waterway where you can read other peoples' memories and perhaps share some of your own. You will feel like you are visiting in an island heaven with the splendid ocean in front of you, pristine beaches, and no hordes.

This is the ninth year we have listed our home with Vacation Rental By Owner, however, we have rented it privately and have had many renters coming back year after year. What renters like best about the home are the beach front location, the comfort of the home, the fact that the home is extremely family friendly and it has a vintage feel with its pine floors, walls, and ceilings in the living areas, and a well equipped kitchen with basic spices supplied.

Please note that during the prime weeks of the summer--June 2 - August 11--we have a 7-nighttime minimum stay running Sunday to Sunday. Before and after Prime season, we have a 3-nighttime minimum stay. These stays can begin on any day of the week.

Tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Brunswick area rental home & When to go:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Holden Beach. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday 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 twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Charming Oceanfront Cottage on Holden Beach--Still some weeks open in October has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your family.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area destination you long to visit, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
