About this property
"Hakuna Matata" - Oceanfront Home, 2 Bedrooms / 2 Bathrooms
Vacationing at Hakuna Matata means no worries. Leave all of your cares behind while you vacation in this remodeled 2 bedroom 2 bath beachfront PET FRIENDLY coastal retreat! Located on the magical section of the east end of beautiful Holden Beach, where second row is first row, this charming home is only steps away from beach access, with a 180-degree unobstructed view of the ocean. Start your day watching the sunrise, and wind down with the spectacular sunsets.
Located on one level, the main bedroom has a full private bathroom with a walk-in shower and a king-sized bed. There is a private entrance to the large back deck where you can watch the masts of the sailboats as they cruise up and down the intracoastal, with ocean views as well! The second bedroom is ocean-facing with a queen-sized bed, and adjoins the full hall bathroom with brand new tiled walk-in shower. The living space offers a comfy L-shaped couch and dining table, with additional seating at the kitchen island. Both bedrooms and the living room have smart TVs – bring your logins to stream whatever you like. The front bedroom also has a DVD/BluRay player and a selection of DVDs for both kids and adults.
The large covered front porch offers a teak dining table as well as a Polywood seating set to relax on as you watch the waves, surfers, fisherman, dolphins and the occasional whale. Stretch out on the glider on the back porch or take a snooze in the shade on the hammock under the back deck. Kick back on the ground level seating set. And what's better, after a day of surf and sand, then a hot/cold water enclosed outdoor shower!
Amenities include stackable washer/dryer, dishwasher, new fridge with icemaker, Keurig coffeemaker, drip coffee maker, enclosed hot and cold-water outdoor shower, hair dryer, radio, DVD player and DVDs, puzzles, books and fiber optic WIFI. Alexa is there for more music choices, to answer questions about the area, check the tides and weather – whatever! USB chargers are available in the living room and both bedrooms. The newly updated kitchen is fully stocked with a toaster, toaster oven/air fryer, blender, hand mixer, Instant Pot, crock pot, stock pot, ample pots, pans, casseroles and baking sheets along with spices, dishtowels, potholders and dishwasher soap. Starter paper goods are supplied and a “Welcome Basket” will be waiting for you! Hakuna Matata is pet friendly, at the owner's discretion.
While staying at Hakuna Matata be sure to walk to the Golden Holden mailbox of memories on the far east end of the island, search for your favorite seashells or do some surf fishing in front of your house! Come on down to Holden Beach and experience The Island Life!
