Fabulous beach view! Large pool…across from beach access. Decks on both levels!

"Star of the Sea" is a 4 Bdrms./3.5 baths home offering "free heated" pool (one filled propane tank per visit) with new booking of 5 nights or longer during May and June of 2025. This house is on a CORNER directly across street from ocean with unobstructed views and private beach access. Ocean Blvd. W. -- 1/2 mile from bridge with option for heated private pool. The direct beachfront view is totally wide open with no obstructions. You literally watch the waves pound the sands of the surf! There are wrap around decks (from front to back on both floors)! Sit on front porch watching and listening to the waves crashing on the sand directly in front of you. You can also sit on covered back porch overlooking pool and watch the boats pass by on the Intercoastal waterway.

A great bonus for the family... if the beach is too hot or crowded, head to your own swimming retreat in the privacy fenced back yard oasis. Relax by the pool in a tranquil environment, swim a few laps, or even play some pool basketball in one of the largest pools on the island of Holden Beach!

Parking with 2 sides under home for cars and then head to the coral door which leads you to your haven for the week. Choose from one of two bedrooms facing beach or one of the two in the rear (one overlooking pool). Two of the four bedrooms even have a wraparound porch along the entire side of house with northern end overlooking pool. Third level has an open floor concept with half bath/Living Room/Dining Room, Kitchen bar-center island workspace, and large kitchen fully stocked with dishware, glasses, tools, pots, and pans.... a spacious pantry for storage as well. Enjoy the massive front porch on this level with view of ocean or walk around the deck to the covered back porch overlooking pool.

TVs with cable in each room and living area. Books/games for kids and the family available as well. Beach/pool toys in lower outdoor closet for your use ---just remember to clean them before putting back in closet. WiFi is high speed throughout the home.

Pool is cleaned once a week and monitored mid-week (if you desire additional pool monitoring/cleaning, for additional fee). This is one of the largest pools on the island and can be heated.....INQUIRE FOR COST OF HEATING AT TIME OF BOOKING.

This home is located on a corner lot and is fairly close to main entrance onto island of Holden Beach and is within 1/2 -3/4 mile to Children s Park, Basketball courts, Holden Beach Chapel, Town Hall, Post Office, and 3 restaurants (located on island). The pier is just down the road approx. 1 mile. Several other restaurants, water slides, putt-putt golf, shops, ice cream parlors just across bridge. Holden Beach Island is a wonderful and fun-filled place to create memories for families while reminiscing those days of summer vacations.

Amazing location, with beach access right across the street! The floor plan was perfect for our group, which included 2 small children and our in-laws. We really enjoyed the pool and the charcoal grill. The property was very clean, although could use some updating (for example, the decking around the pool needs some TLC).

Amazing location in a great little beach town!

We had a great time during our stay here! It has all of the amenities we were looking for and the property owner was wonderful and communicated everything we needed to know. Even stopped by to start the pool heater which we really enjoyed, and worked with us on switching properties after a family illness prevented some guests from attending. So awesome to walk across the street to the private beach access! Will definitely stay again!

Great Family Vacation

We can't say enough about our family vacation. The property was perfect for the family - everything open and inviting along with a great pool. There were tons of toys and beach items that we really didn't need to bring anything. Communication with the owner was fast and handled any questions or needs that we have both before the trip and during our stay. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
