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).

The owner communication was incredible. Owner was very responsive to our needs after having a power outage and electrical failures due to bad weather. He sent an electrician over the very next day and they were able to fix some of the issues, but we still had some lights that just didn’t work. The home is beautifully and tastefully decorated, but can use some updating. Especially in the lighting and electrical department. I give the owner 5 stars, but the home itself 3.5-4 stars.-April

Overall a decent property. The pool was dirty with sand and debris on steps and bottom of the pool. We contacted host and she came to look at the pool and take pictures. The pool guy was to come the next day but didn’t show until the last day of our trip. Host was apologetic and offered a discount if we were to book another trip. Should have offered something this trip due to this was one of reasons we booked the house it had a pool.

Fabulous

What a wonderful vacation home . The house suited our needs perfectly. The view was phenomenal, the pool area was wonderful (very large pool, comfortable seating in both the sun and the shade), kitchen was well equipped. Loved the shade porch overlooking the pool. The hosts were available to answer any questions we would have and were very accommodating. It is a short walk to the beach and the beach cart and chairs provided by the hosts made everything easy.I guess the best recommendation is we are looking to rent again next summer.

Great Location and Beautiful Home.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Easy beach access and convenient to shopping. The house is pleasantly decorated with open airy feel in the living area. Great view from front deck and nice seating area around to the rear of that deck. Pool was greatly enjoyed by the grandchildren, especially. While we did encounter a couple of issues at first. They were quickly resolved. Very attentive owner who strives to make your stay wonderful. Hope to come back in the future.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Star of the Sea. Plenty of room for 6 adults and two children. The well-stocked kitchen with island allowed for two people to prepare meals. The pool was large enough for us all to play and swim in. Beach access was so convenient. The true star was the view from the front balcony. Another covered porch looks out over the pool. Owner was very accommodating and helpful, replying to questions quickly. Bedrooms are good size. Two bunk beds in one room, with its own bathroom. Spacious master has king bed and own en suite. The other bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. One of those bedrooms has glass panel French doors (with light curtains) that inhibits privacy in that room a bit. Holden Beach maintains a ‘residential’ atmosphere that contributes to a relaxing vacation. We will return to this house and would recommend to our friends and families.

We had such a wonderful long weekend at Holden Beach. We were surprised when we got there that the property was even better than we expected. The view of the ocean is amazing and the pool is huge. The walk to the beach is short and easy. The host was amazing to work with and answered any questions that we had in a timely manner. We would definitely stay here again.

Great getaway!

Great property for your vacation. Home was super clean, hosts were extremely responsive to communications, and check in/out was extremely simple. Quick note if you have little ones - make sure they don't drag their feet on the wood deck surrounding the pool. We came home with a handful of splinters!

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!

This home has a beautiful view and plenty of space for a family. The home is located across the street from the beach with an uninstructed view of the ocean. It also has a pool that was so nice & very clean. The home was nicely furnished & the kitchen was well stocked. The owners are very nice and quick to respond. Our only complaint is that it is in need of a deep cleaning.
