Beach Front - Breathtaking Unobstructed View of Atlantic!
- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
'I'm Ocean Front' will take you where you want to be -- a breathtaking unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean. Inside or outside, you will instantly relax. Overhead the Brown Pelicans will fly in formation, if you are lucky you will spy Bald Eagle fishing for dinner.
This home is one story with living, kitchen and eating area, and bedrooms on the same level. The ocean front balcony has rocking, lounge, and straight-backed chairs for a full view of the Atlantic Ocean. The balcony in the back overlooks the big dunes. Two bedrooms have TV's, one with a DVD.
!!!The downstairs room (separate entrance) is great for card games, ping pong, TV, or listening to music, It is a place for the kids or adults to escape to for some fun without disturbing those who want some quiet time. I'm Ocean Front is truly a place for all ages.
There is an outside shower with hot & cold running water to wash off that salt and sand before you go inside. The boardwalk on the property takes you to the narrow one-lane road, to steps over the dune (where the deer feed at night) to the beach.
Holden Beach is a very special place for families, friends, and lovers (weddings are a common sight on the beach). There is night life close by if that is your desire, fresh sea food 'made to order' or sold on the island (brought in by the local fishermen) if you want to prepare a seafood feast at home in your fully equipped kitchen (see reviews).
'I'm Ocean Front' is approximately 1 mile from the bridge --- and only 40 paces from the sand and surf. If you want to venture out historic Southport is 19 mi; Old Baldy Lighthouse is just across the Cape Fear River from Southport; back at Holden Beach you can see her light from your rocking chair on a clear night. You can drive to Myrtle Beach, SC for entertainment or shopping. Historic Wilmington, NC is wonderful (pre-American Revolution)- see the Battle Ship of NC or take the boardwalk on the Cape Fear River. Eat at Elisha’s, the Pilot House, or The Dock Street Oyster Bar (all local favorites) for a really good meal.
Of course,,, you can just opt to wind down, play and relax, marval at the wonders of nature and find a star! What ever you choose I promse you will take home a lifetime of special memories.

Two weeks at the beach!! That was our dream come true, and "I'm Ocean Front" far exceeded our expectations. From its fully equipped, gormet kitchen--to its living room's big screen entertainment center (now with Netflix!!)--to the spacious front porch overlooking the Atlantic, the whole experience was first class. Even the mattresses are firm and comfortable. We WILL be back. We've stayed in 4 different homes at Holden Beach, and found "I'm Ocean Front" to be the best of the lot. Reasonably priced, located overlooking a less crowded, almost private sectoin of the beach, and conveniently situated to shopping and food: what's not to like? "I'm Ocean Front" is exactly one mile from the Holden Beach bridge, thus a short drive to area restaurants. Although this is not a food review, we'd highly recommend The Provision Company for simple, but good food served in an interesting atmosphere. But the best restaurant of all those we tried is the Inlet View in Shallotte. Words are not sufficient to describe the quality of their seafood.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.

We had a great time at Holden Beach and was very happy with our rental. The house was clean and well maintained inside and out and provided a comfortable place to enjoy the beach. The walk to the beach is minimal so it was easy access and not too crowded on the water. We were fortunate to be there when a nest of sea turtles hatched so we got to see that right in front of our rental on the beach. The beach is beautiful for as far as the eye can see, amazing to sit on the front and watch waves and listen to the sound of the ocean. The game room was great for the kids to have a place to play and get away from us adults for a little while. We were there during a very hot week but the air down there had a hard time keeping the room cool enough, that's our only negative for the week. We would definitely come back to I'm Ocean Front!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: An additional air conditioner has been installed (2013) downstairs for comfort. The door to the outside does need to be kept shut for optimum cooling. Thank you for your kind remarks and honesty, the feedback is most welcome. Bev Slagle

House was wonderful. The owner anticipated every need. The house was lovely and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It was very convenient walk to the beach. Loved the fact that all was on one floor with limited steps... We just loved the Main Street Grill & Rotisserie for dinner. It has fantastic Ribs and seafood. Would highly reccommend.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+.
Owner response: So glad you enjoyed your stay at I'm Ocean Front and THANK YOU for sharing your experience with potential guests. Hope you will return; thank you for choosing I'm Ocean Front! Bev

We arrived at I'm Ocean Front the day after hurricane Irene just missed Holden Beach. We highly recommend this outstanding beach home with a terrific view of the Ocean. The beach house is located away from the hustle and bustle yet close to excellent restaurants near the beach. Bev Slagle, the owner has seen to every need for a beach vacation.We had a wonderful week and enjoyed the front porch and the downstairs game and tv room. We want to return next year.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway.

Our family visits Holden Beach every year and we stay at I'm Oceanfront! We love the fresh and open floorplan and the vibrant decor! It is a place with all the ammenities of home with the added ocean to feast on right before your eyes! We do LOVE being able to cross the stile and be right on the beach. We walk along the beach every morning and enjoy the beauty, rich sounds of the waves and letting our worn bodies and minds find REST. Plunging an umbrella into the sand, we READ our favorite novels and can peek back at our cheerful house as our dinner marinates. So EASY!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

We just had 2 great weeks at "I'm Oceanfront". This is our 4th year, but the first time I've had a chance to write a review. Each year improvements have been made to it to make it a more desirable house. The property is well kept up and the owner is personable and terrific to work with. It is better even than the pictures on the web-site. A lot of planning and thoughtfulness has gone into this house, especially in the last 2 years. The kitchen items are plentiful and you have the equipment to cook anything you might want to do. There are lots of books, dvds, and even a couple of jigsaw puzzles to work. Instructions for how to use the entertainment equipment are easy to follow. Everything works in the house and if you have a problem (which we created with the stove this time) someone comes over soon to address it. There is even an outside shower to wash off the sand after your stroll. The location is ideal in that you are so close to the beach (just over the dune) and it is on the end of the beach that has less people. We have always come in June or July and the beach has never been crowded. My sister and I love to look for shells and they are always plentiful depending on mother natures gifts each day. I highly recommend this property with one caveat = don't ask for it on the weeks we want to come!! Enjoy!!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+.

This beach house was great!!! All the rooms were comfortable. The kids loved the room with two sets of bunk beds. All the children (4 of them) slept in one room, how fabulous! The kitchen/den was well stocked and very open to allow two families to be comfortable and spacious. The view of the beach was stunning from the front porch. About the owner, she was so personal and willing to make everything perfect. She communicated very well through e-mail and this was so helpful. Upon arrival the air conditioner in basement was not hooked up. The owner sent a handyman out right away to hook it up for us. This basement was primarily for the children since it had table tennis, games, cards, fuse ball ect. Our kids loved it. We are counting the days down to our next return!! Thank you Bev.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.

Owner response: Many thanks to my special GUESTS, so glad everyone had a great time!. There are NO PETS ALLOWED and the guest did not choose that recommendation as they are alergic to dogs (see revised review they sent in above)!!! I'm Ocean Front plays host the "best" guests at Holden Beach --- and has the "best" staff attending her, so big kudo's to Pat and Jimmy for their excellent customer service! Bev Slagle : - )

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: My family loves I'm Ocean Front, it is a place where wonderful memories have and will be made for my family and hopefully yours.
Why the Owner Chose Holden Beach:
My husband and I purchased our home on our 39th wedding anniversary. Holden Beach is the first beach our two children ever visited and we took them back every year when they were young. The home has been completely renovated, it is a beach cottage in the true sense of the word and most enjoyable. We have been fortunate to have repeat renters who fall in love with 'I'm Ocean Front'. It is a cottage you want to share as fond memories are made there.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
East end of the beach is less crowded and less traffic, yet close to the 'big' bridge to the mainland and island restaurants.. Beautiful view!
