Original Holden Beach cottage ... lovingly restored ... far beyond her original beauty!
Perfect for a couple on a romantic getaway or a small family, Lulu Rose is a one of a kind beach cottage made to make you feel pampered while you're having fun at the beach. (My husband and I named the little cottage after our mothers ... who else really knew how to pamper you?)
When you arrive, your beds will be made with 500 thread count cotton bed linens. Bath towels, including beach and spa towels (all Egyptian cotton) are there for you with a basket of Bath and Body Works amenities. There will be bottled water chilled in the refrigerator for you.
We have private housekeeping. If you need something, there is a number to call.
Relax. Maybe soak in the refinished 1934 Kohler claw-foot tub ... there's bath salts in your amenities basket. Maybe a walk on the beach or a swim. Maybe you'll find some perfect seashells or see a sea turtle nest ...or even a sea turtle! Maybe a relaxing soak in the hot tub overlooking the beach followed by an outdoor shower. (Maybe save the hot tubing for later ... under the stars with the sound of the waves on the beach.) Maybe just sit on the deck and watch the pelicans fly by and the dolphins swim in the waves.
Or maybe, before any relaxing you have a few things to clear up at work. Take advantage of the wireless high speed internet with your laptop from a rocking chair or the Pawley's Island hammock
For those too tired to relax, all televisions at Lulu Rose are DirectTV. There is a 37" flat screen with a DVD player in the great room with a DVD library. Each bedroom has DTV with built-in DVD/VHS. Each bedroom has an iPod dock/alarm clock.
When you start feeling hungry, there are restaurants on the island, right across the bridge on the waterway, on the causeway, on the way into town (Shallotte), in Shallotte, on the way to Myrtle Beach (south), which includes Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach or on the way to Wilmington (north), which includes Southport and Oak Island. Lots to choose from ... from casual to very casual!
There is another alternative.
The kitchen in Lulu Rose is well equipped and well lighted ... a tiny gourmet kitchen really. It makes cooking fun.
There are new stainless steel appliances, microwave and garbage disposal and lots of granite counter space, including a raised bar with leather chairs. There is an icemaker and water dispenser in the refrigerator door. There is a separate lighted wine refrigerator. There are small appliances, including a coffee maker, coffee grinder, blender and toaster. There's even a bar-b-que area outside ... lighted and with running water and bar-b-que utensils.
You could cook!
There are two farmers markets in the area to purchase the freshest produce, jams and condiments. There is an abundance of fresh seafood available. You can purchase oysters and shrimp and flounder right off the boats. There is a Food Lion grocery at the end of the causeway.
If you want to venture out for other than beach activities, drive to historic Southport and take a ferry to Fort Fisher and visit the aquarium. Visit historic Wilmington, the USS North Carolina and The Ivy Cottage in Wilmington, the largest consignment store on the east coast. Have lunch at one of the restaurants overlooking the Cape Fear River. Or, have lunch or an early dinner at Indochine ... you'll think you've stepped into another world!
Or, go south to Myrtle Beach for miniature golf, to Barefoot Landing or Tangor Outlet Mall.
(Costco, both with gas, in Wilmington and Myrtle Beach.)
Or, stay closer to home. Marys Gone Wild folk art. Silver Coast Winery. Indigo Farms. Lockwood Folly Golf. All the little shops on the causeway. The Cinemas.
Or, stay really close to home and swim, fish, kayak, boogie board, windsurf, bike, jet ski or parasail. (There are many good massage therapists near the island!)
Whatever you choose to do, you'll have a great time, and at the end of the day, there is nothing like returning to the beach and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves.
Welcome to Holden Beach.
Welcome to Lulu Rose.
