Heard the Waves - Comfortable, Cozy Oceanfront Beach Cottage!

Enjoy classic coastal charm and modern comfort in this beautifully maintained oceanfront home—designed with vacationers in mind. Before purchasing this property in 2019, the current owners spent 17 years vacationing in oceanfront rentals on Holden Beach. Drawing from that experience, they have thoughtfully created a home that delivers everything guests want and deserve, inside and out.

Step into the inviting great room featuring timeless wood walls, a dramatic cathedral ceiling, and breathtaking ocean views. Wood and ceramic flooring run throughout the home, adding both style and durability. The fully updated kitchen offers granite countertops, modern stainless-steel appliances, and a complete stock of cookware, utensils, and essentials—making family meals easy and enjoyable. Bathrooms have also been tastefully updated for added comfort.

Outdoor living is just as impressive. Relax on the covered oceanside deck, unwind on the sundeck, or follow the private boardwalk with built-in benches straight to the shoreline. The private swimming pool, park-style charcoal grill, and beautifully landscaped surroundings create the perfect setting for gathering, grilling, and making memories. A spacious covered street-side porch offers even more room to spread out and enjoy the coastal breeze.

Bed linens (beds in bedrooms only), towels, and bath mats are provided for weekly rentals. Beds are made upon arrival for a stress-free start to your vacation.

A Welcome Amenity Bag is included with starter items: toilet paper, paper towels, a kitchen kit, and a bathroom kit.
(Guests should plan to bring or purchase additional supplies once starter items are used.)
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Holden Beach. Laundry facilities are available. The vacation home offers a private pool and a kitchen.

Lovely home w/pool and ocean front

The home was beautifully decorated, clean and well equipped. The pool was a nice added extra esp being ocean front. Our only complaint was that the thermostat was controlled remotely by the owner and not allowed to be set below 72. Although 72 was okay for daytime, We enjoy sleeping in a cooler environment, so our sleeps while there were not enjoyable. Considering the price we paid, a few more degrees should have been acceptable. We had to leave several days early for a death in the family which we didn’t mind doing to be able to sleep in our own cooler homes at night. Had the ac not been an issue we would’ve rated this place a 5.

Nice property

The house was perfect for our size of family with all amenities. It was very close to the beach with a nice deck to sit and watch the sunrise. If you're looking for a smaller home, this has everything that you need. Well kept and very clean.

Awesome property

Awesome property! Enjoyed the summer storms dancing on the ocean from the porch. Everything was just right! The boardwalk was perfect for my handicapped father-n-law . Pool was nice in the mid day heat! A section of the garage would have been nice for the golf cart an motorcycle But, overall the family had an awesome time! Thank you so much for letting us borrow your little piece of paradise!!!

Well worth it

Easy, informative, great checkin and out. The previous occupant and cleaning crew never swept floors. I know we left it cleaner than got there. Overall a great house and experience
