Holden Beach House / Short 5 minute walk to Beach / Perfect Family Vacation Home
https://www.travelandleisure.com/calmest-beach-in-usa-holden-beach-north-carolina-11766139
We would like for you to come and have a wonderful and memorable week at Holden Beach.
We invite you to visit our beach house, which is family-owned and operated for many years. Our home is located on a quiet street and is a 5-minute, one-block walk to the beach. We have a neighborhood crosswalk with stairs for easy beach access on Ocean Blvd. We provide many beach chairs (reviewed annually) and two rolling beach carts to make it easy to take all of your necessary items over to the beach. We also have boogie-boards and a small cooler for your beach beverages. Our home is family-friendly, including your pets! All entry doors have keypads, making it easier for family members to come and go at their convenience. Our front yard has plenty of space for parking. We are Premier Host VRBO’s highest rating.
Our home is located 6 blocks from the bridge, making it convenient to restaurants and shopping. It is also near the recreation areas near the Town Hall (tennis courts, basketball court, and entertainment venue.) The streets have very little traffic, making it perfect for bike riding, jogging or walking your dog. We invite you to come and enjoy a relaxing vacation with your family, friends, and pets. Join the families that come each year, making new memories! If you have a large group and need more space, there is a duplex directly across the street that sleeps 8 people. It is listed on VRBO as property 220585.
Our guests have rated our vacation home as exceptional with a 9.8 (out of 10) rating with 315 reviews! We appreciate your reviews and any recommendations that would make your next visit more enjoyable.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Byron Ritter

Our parents built this house in 1979. They lived in it from 1991 until 2008. The house and property is well maintained. The house is now owned by the three brother's families. We live in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. We vacation in our house each year, so we know what is expected for a vacation home. We appreciate constructive suggestions for improvements from our guests. We encourage repeat guests.
Why they chose this property
For 2023 we added a new sofa, light downstairs on beach side for night outside grilling, new 55" Smart HD TV in living area. In 2022 we added new end tables in living area. We have a new dining room table and chairs. We added 2 rockers on the beach side porch. In 2021 we added new storm doors, flood lights on each corner of the house, stained the porches and outside shower, added vanity and medicine cabinet in downstairs bathroom. We replaced the vinyl siding and windows in 2019. We covered the front yard with gravel for easy and comfortable walking (2018). No sandspurs! We have new premium mattresses and box springs on all four queen size beds. This property is a great location for walking to the beach or the inland water way. You can see both the ocean and the water way from the porches. The ocean is only a short 5-minute walk from the house. There is a private walkway over the dunes we help maintain that is part of the walk over to the beach. We make several improvements every year. Short walk to on the beach restaurants and Holden Beach Concert Series
Join us on Sunday evenings from 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. for live entertainment. The concerts

What makes this property unique
We have an enclosed downstairs with outside and inside showers downstairs. There is room for two cars in the enclosed downstairs bumper to bumper. The enclosed downstairs keeps your vehicle clean and prevents salt air covering your vehicle. You can have dinner downstairs great for hosting neighbors. We have charcoal grill provided.
June through August are all 7-day rentals Saturday to Saturday. We help maintain a private walkway over the dunes at the end of Boyd St. That provides a 5-minute walk to the beach or waterway. We have a picnic table on the downstairs porch beach side. This provides privacy and outside enjoyment for your meal. We have added a beachside downstairs light for night outside grilling.
