Great oceanfront private home, owner designed and managed, with amazing oceanfront beach vistas and beach strand. March 2024 brought more sand on our beach from a beach renourishment project. Short walk from home to stairs over the protective dunes to nice broad beach strand. Supplemental pool heat with new heater (March '24), (if needed for modest fee) private pool. Heated pool is open March into November. Over 80% of my renters are repeats, many multiple years. Send inquiries for winter / spring 2025, or for the very few summer weeks which aren't rebooked by multi-year repeats. Digital Nomads welcome through part of the fall/winter/spring. We have high-speed fiber-based internet which can support "work-from-anywhere" and remote learning. It's nice when you take a break or end your work /school day to take a walk on broad beach which you are sharing with only a handful of others.
Beach is open, beach strand is in GREAT shape following a major beach renourishment finished in March 2024.
Re : Pool, Solar blanket and southern exposure (w/new pool heater optional possible very reasonable /surcharge applies) will warm the private pool. Take a short walk over (stairs over) dunes to broad beach. Pelican Watch is named in honor of the brown pelicans who fly by on the updrafts from ocean winds off the dune-ridge along the beach.

Our top Vacation rental tips:

When to visit Holden Beach & When to reserve a rental home:

• Reserve your Brunswick area rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.
