About this property
Oceanfront, October/November Specials, Priv. Heated Pool, EV charging, Elevator
OCEANFRONT beach home which is owner managed. October / November Specials for week, long weekend, midweek or up to 28 days in November. Openings from October 9-19th and November 3rd through Thanksgiving. Fall when the weather is still nice and "beachy" and the rates are much better.
Pelican Watch is a lovely 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, plus outside shower, which is oceanfront on the East End of Holden Beach. Our private heated pool is open from early March until late November. The beach strand is frequently renourished and is broad and in great shape. The house is very tall and sits behind two rows of dunes and a limited use one-way street. Take a short walk to stairs over our protective dunes to access the uncrowded beach strand.
Holden Beach, and especially the "East End" is much less densely developed than many Carolina beaches.
Pelican Watch is very tall with great sweeping views over the dunes, beach strand and the Atlantic. Three of the 4 bedrooms as well as the living room are oceanfront with plenty of glass. The ELEVATOR goes from the ground / parking level to the top floor, without a stop at the lower living level. The top floor (served by elevator) included: living room; dining; kitchen; elevated sitting area with access to a back deck; oceanfront porch; one Oceanfront queen suite, and a half bath off common areas. The lower living level (no elevator stop) has: Oceanfront suite with king bed; oceanfront bedroom with queen bed which shares a bath with back bedroom with a full-size bed and roll out single trundle.
Private heated pool has lounge chairs. We have a collection (varies) of beach chairs, pool floats, boogie boards,
Our kitchen is much better stocked than the typical beach rental. My wife and I designed Pelican Watch and it's our third (now only one) home on the East End. We are actively involved in the entire operation and are supported by longtime local cleaning and maintenance professionals.
Sometimes the calendar might show as "blocked" but might be available. I'm retired and I get there frequently but often have flexibility. Reach out with any questions,
Thanks, Irv Woods
PS Over 90% of of annual rental nights are booked by multi-years repeat renters, some for more than 15 consecutive years.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Irvin Woods
I grew up with a family beach house at Edisto Beach, SC. Love the Carolina coast. Holden Beach is not at all like Myrtle Beach. We built this house in 2008 and incorporated improvements on the design of our other very nice house, Hold-on-Beach (sold on April 2021). We love the East-End of Holden Beach so much, we are now on our third house in the neighborhood. We designed and built Pelican Watch for long-term enjoyment and eventual retirement. Heated pool really extends pleasure to almost 9 months.
Why they chose this property
Special design and open space, visually from glassed back deck to stunning ocean views from both living levels. Elevator serves top floor (main living level) from parking level. Inverted floor-plan. Private heated (optional) pool is open from mid-March to Thanksgiving.
What makes this property unique
Pelican Watch is in very lightly developed area of east end of Holden Beach.
