Torn down to the frame and completely rebuilt, this Holden Beach charmer is ready to be your home away from home! Located right along the water, the sand and surf are mere steps from the house, giving you unparalleled beach access. Even better is the fact that scenic parks, charters, a water park, golf courses, and numerous local restaurants to sample are only a short drive away.

Back at your oceanfront retreat, step through the door to be greeted by a completely remodeled house with new appliances, an updated kitchen and bathrooms, and a new mini-split system to ensure everyone remains cool while here. Unwind comfortably in the living area watching something on TV or gaze outside at the sparkling water nearby. The well-equipped kitchen is sure to please the group chef and has everything needed to make small snacks, entire meals, and everything else in between. Indulge together at the table before heading out to the deck to lounge comfortably as the crisp North Carolina air brushes against your face and the sun sets. After exciting days of exploration and frolicking in the sand, know all of the bedrooms will provide a serene night's rest. Additional conveniences include a washer/dryer, free WiFi, and three of the bedrooms having their own TVs for private viewing.

Beautiful Home but...

Very nicely renovated home in a quiet neighborhood. Everything was great but they REALLY need to update the beds. They were VERY loud. Every time you got in or out of the bed or rolled over they were squeaked extremely loud and we never got a good nights sleep. Hopefully they accept our feedback and make changes to the beds.

Amazing location.

The Austin Cottage is a perfect getaway destination! Lovely porch, dog-friendly yard, and steps away to the beach. The location is quiet and relaxing. I will definitely revisit this home.

Happy Days

We rented this house years ago when my oldest son was a baby. 20+ years later and its like taking a step back in time. Everything is almost the same. Simple family life.(Just ignore the WIFI and TV and Dishwasher and microwave) Screened in porch is my favorite with the rocking chairs. Our 4th time being in this house and hopefully we will be able to come again. We love Austin Cottage

Had a great time but disappointed

The location of this home is wonderful and very close to the bridge to take you off the island. The view was great and very close to the ocean. The reason my family and I have decided to give three stars is because of the lack of basic cleanliness throughout the house. The kitchen drawers were dirty and extremely unorganized. Some of the utensils had dried food on them. It looks like they have never cleaned under the beds or the furniture in the living room. We pulled out the cushions of the couch and it had a ton of stuff in it. There was old dog food underneath the couch as well. It was expected for the house to not be perfect or up to date due to the price we were paying. But we did expect basic cleanliness considering the pandemic as well as the fact that we are paying to stay in a clean home. We saw multiple roaches in the house but we are aware that they are common in beachfront homes due to moisture but still disturbing. My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Austin cottage but these conditions were disappointing.
