Three Gulls & A Buoy is located at pretty Holden Beach between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach. National Geographic Traveler Magazine called Holden Beach one of the best family beaches in the country! Our beach is unique and special. Here, you can view both sunrises and sunsets on the Atlantic Ocean. We are also famed for shark's teeth & Sea Biscuits, a handsome shell that frequently washes up on our beach. We have even supplied sand sifters and buckets to use for collecting.
Our home is a 5-min. walk to the pier (beach access) and has a General Store and ice cream shop just across the street. Haley’s Ice Cream is a great place to savor a cold treat while watching the waves.
With ocean vistas and a gorgeous, active marsh in the backyard, this home is a great place to relax. There is a enormous picnic table and plenty of other seating downstairs.
We have tons and books, games, puzzles and toys to appreciate. You can’t beat this kitchen! You won’t find one better outfitted. From air-frying to cupcakes- we’ve got you covered. If you’d rather eat out, we’ve tried everything and will leave you a list with our recommendations.
Consider appreciating your morning coffee on the back covered porch overlooking the marsh or downstairs on the comfortable outdoor couch. We’ve included a variety of coffees and teas for you to try. We will also leave you a list of coffee and sweet stores with our recommendations.
With the Atlantic Ocean to lull you to sleep, you’ll find no better spot than our opulent beds, carefully designed for comfort.
Our family loves the North Carolina coastline. We are five-generation North Carolinians who have grown up exploring our beautiful beaches, each with its own style. We want to share our adore of all things sandy and salty with you and hope you feel at home away from home from arrival to departure.

Strategies to get the best rental home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve 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 near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
  • The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
  • Hosts sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
  • Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
  • Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your rental search:

  • Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
  • Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Two water views, 2-5min. walk to beach, best kitchen, beds & outdoor spaces. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
  • Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
  • Does your group require special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
  • If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

  • Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of issues.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
  • Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
  • Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
