About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 3 Bedrooms
• 3 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

RECENTLY RENOVATED with new floor, rugs, carpets and trim painting throughout.

Freshly Painted exterior, including all decks and railings.

Very little actual carpeting, easier to keep clean.

Striking, two-level, luxury, duplex home located on peaceful street at "The Family Beach." Ideal for one, two, or three couples, modest families.

Fantastic vistas from 4 decks. Backs up to marshland, Intercoastal Waterway - watch the boats go by from the multi-level back decks. Half block from beach with semi-private access (no public access there means less crowd)- undeveloped tons in front provide for great ocean vistas and sounds. See the ocean and listen to the waves crash as you relax on either of the two front decks. All decks are furnished, newly painted/stained, matted for cooling and lower decks and patio provide shade if desired.

Light colors and picture windows on three of four walls give great bright and open feel, very sunny. We freshly refreshed the Master bedroom with new twin beds that convert to a King if desired. Families seem to appreciate the flexibility.

On the right day you will see one of the most impressive sunsets imaginable off of our back decks.

Updated, Florida Villa style decorations. Cozy furnishings, breakfast bar, vaulted ceilings, well equipped kitchen are a few living features. Dining and breakfast bar seats seven for meals.

Three TVs (36 inch big screen in living room, wall-mounted flat screen 20 inch in master, 32 in intelligent TV in guest), complimentary wifi, DVD, cd player and digital cable provide in-home entertainment options.

Generous backyard, Bar-B-Que/picnic area. Paved cement patio, driveway and under-home (on pilings) parking for multiple cars/boat. A newly remodeled outdoor shower and changing area are available for cleaning up the family after the beach.

Full weeks only during summer. Nightly units available (minimum stay) in offseason or last-min. during high-season if vacant, please feel complimentary to e-mail, we are very busy but will get back to you.

Holden has a variety of restaurant options, boutique shopping and world class golf within a few miles. It is very unique in that there are many entertainment, dining, recreation and shopping optons on one side of the "big bridge", while the island itself across the bridge is mainly homes, peaceful and relaxing. It is the peaceful hideaway many are looking for, with the amenities to make it fun right there as well.

Boat, jet-ski units available at HB Marina. Fishing and crabbing areas readily available.

We adore our "home away from home" and think you will too. We have traveled all over the world and find Holden to be the best beach anywhere for a calming, peaceful, courteous coastal vacation.

Please see renter feedback/comments and contact us with any concerns. We are very simple to work with and understand that this non-traditional rental situation (directly from owner) is new to some, we are confident you will be pleased with the experience.

Additional photos available upon request.

Savor, Eric and Jamie.

Booking the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Holden Beach. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. 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 June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in Holden Beach:

• To start, have your group commit to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Holden Beach Luxury Dunes Home.....Quiet, Unobstructed ICW Views has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
