Holden Dreams at Holden Beach, Ocean Front Home with private heated pool and elevator, great views

Welcome to Holden Dreams, managed by Brunswick Vacation Rentals!

Beautiful oceanfront home with private pool on the gated west end of Holden beach. This home has everything you need to complete your perfect oceanfront vacation. Private heated pool, elevator, ping pong, shuffleboard, 2 refrigerators, 2 living rooms, Smart flat screen TV's in every bedroom, 5 1/2 bathrooms, gas gril, outdoor shower, covered and uncovered porches, and amazing views!

The main level has a large well-stocked kitchen with 2 refrigerators, a drip coffee maker & a blender. The kitchen is open to the dining room with large table that seats 8 and has additional seating at the island overlooking the living room and oceanfront sunroom. There is a master bedroom with a king sized bed and a large bathroom on this floor, as well as a half bathroom. Upstairs you will find 5 more bedrooms, 4 with 1 queen-sized bed and 1 with 2 full beds, all with their own Smart flat-screen TV, another ocean front deck, and a second living room with Smart TV! Downstairs there is a ping pong table, shuffleboard, gas grill, and private walkway out to the oceanfront pool with loungers and plenty of pool deck to soak up the sun. You can also access your private ocean-front walkway out to the beach from the pool deck, or main level of the home. *Please note the fireplace is for decorative use only!*

The pool is open year round, however between April 1 - Oct 31 the heater will be on and typically keeps the pool water between 80-84 degrees depending on outside air temperatures and weather. There is no additional cost to heat the pool, but we can not guarantee the pool water temperatures due to the dependency of the weather and air temperatures. Please keep in mind that the heater only runs when the pool pump is running and typically the pump does not run at night due to time schedule.

*Please note, pools will NOT be heated November 1 - March 31*. If you want us to attempt to heat the pool during this time we can for a cost of $75 per day for your entire stay, but once again, we can not guarantee the pool water temperatures due to the dependency of the weather and air temperatures.

The pool and/or spa is private and unattended, so swim at your own risk. All children must be supervised in the water at all times by an adult. No food, drinks, alcohol, glass, etc are allowed in or around the pool. Pools are serviced regularly, however please keep in mind that due to the tropical nature of the island, it is not unusual to find unexpected debris and sand in the pool.

We cannot guarantee the elevator will be working due to circumstances out of our control. Please read elevator instructions CAREFULLY before operating (found in the notebook at the home). User error will result in a $100 service charge. No children are allowed in the elevator without an adult. Use at your own risk.

Location and size of the property were good for our group, but especially the outside areas were not clean. In general, we were disappointed that the property was not well-maintained especially considering the price point. We had one broken window and two broken doors during our week stay. Rental group responded but not able to repair the doors during our stay. It’s a beautiful home but needs care.

Vacation 2025

We were pleased with the response of the management team for any issues. We had problems with the main patio door that we used the most because the handle was broken and door would not stay closed. We were constantly closing it and shooing flies. They sent someone out twice but didn’t help a lot. Management company was wonderful but do think the owner should have everything in working order before renting. It is a beautiful property and location!

Best vacation home

This was by far one of the best vacation home we've been to for memorial weekend where the beach is packed. Not here! In a gated community with private beach so we didnt have to battle with the crowd. House was spacious and clean. We would definitely come back.

Relaxing and peaceful

This is one of the best places we've stayed at the beach! The pool was heated for our stay in early May and we had a private boardwalk to the beach, which was practically deserted. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and had two refrigerators. The beds and living room furniture were very comfortable. The home was very clean!! The host and mgmt co were very responsive and communicative. We'll definitely be back!

Nice house in a quiet neighborhood

House was very well maintained inside…beautiful kitchen. Outside could use some TLC. Private pool was nice. You can’t see the ocean unless you are upstairs so while “on the beach”, it’s 225 steps from back porch.

Location, location ,location. Loved that the first floor as the gatherings floor. Enjoyed the pool and the private walkway to the beach. Would have liked a hot tub but the house had most all we wanted. I tried to rent bikes but the rental store was sold out- I didn't pre-rent because the house we stayed in last year had bikes for our use.
