About this Property

  • Private vacation home

Welcome to your new favorite vacation spot on the charming marsh of Holden Beach. Crawdaddys freshly entered the rental market and the owners have purchased all new couches, beds, a dining room table that seats 10, outdoor furnishings (Carolina Casual & Polywood), and much more. Located on Ocean Blvd, you have the best of both worlds with partial ocean vistas out front and the serenity of the natural marsh in the back.

The beach access is conveniently located just east of the home between 567 OBW and 569 OBW, less than a 5-min. walk. A second full-size refrigerator is located on the ground level for your beach drinks, grille foods or to store your freshly caught fish. Also extremely convenient, the Holden Beach General Store and Salt Peddler Resort Wear (including Ice Cream) are an painless 12-min. walk (.06 mile) where you can pick up that milk you just ran out of, a bathing suit, toy, etc.

Appreciate peaceful time on the screened back deck while watching the herons in the marsh or your morning coffee in the rockers on the covered front deck with vistas of, and breezes from, the shining Atlantic Ocean. Your outdoor options continue with the upstairs uncovered back deck where you can sip beverages while the sun sets at the pub-style table or relax in the loungers or porch swing. For the outdoor cooking enthusiast, a brand new Challenger Designs grille cabinet with a Napoleon piped gas (no running out of gas at this home) grille, along with dining for 10, is located under the home and positioned to savor all that this prime location has to offer.

The vistas do not stop outside! Inside, you will find an inverted floor plan and tons of windows and natural light throughout. The roomy living room with a game table, kitchen, and dining areas features pretty vistas from every angle to soak in the beauty of Holden Beach. The living room Intelligent TV also has cable and a Sony sound bar for your listening enjoyment. With 4 bedrooms (all also with Intelligent TVs & cable) to sleep 10 and 3.5 bathrooms (primary shower is a step in, 30” wide with a grab bar), this home has it all.

The home provides a 3-story residential passenger elevator (new in 2023) to make loading and unloading a breeze! No need to tote groceries and bags up the stairs. The elevator is wide enough (24.5”) for a standard rollator, which is a blessing for many grandparents. Please read and follow all posted rules. There is a sizable outside shower with hot and cold water. Parking onsite for 5 cars. New this year an EV charger was installed for your electric car. The fireplace shown in the photos is not operable.

Embrace the warmth of southern 'Hobbspitality'! Savor a welcome set of starter amenities, including one roll of paper towels, trash bags, laundry and dishwasher pods, dish soap, and a sponge. All bathrooms include one roll of toilet paper, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, makeup wipes, and bar soap. Your beds are made with fresh linens and a lightweight blanket, so you can jump right into making memories rather than making beds! While we provide a lightweight blanket, we urge you to bring additional layers for your comfort.
This owner also provides bath towel sets (one bath towel, one hand towel, and one washcloth) per occupancy (10) for your convenience. Beach and pool towels are not included.

Absolutely no family pets nor smoking allowed on this property.

Vacation rental booking tips:

Get the best value:

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Holden Beach. Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
  • In the Southport area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a special rate.
  • Property managers often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
  • Often, property management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
  • Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
  • Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
  • Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited.

More tips for your stay:

  • Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
  • To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
  • Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor.

The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
