Welcome to Second Base at Holden Beach. Located on the east (short) end of Holden Beach at 154 Carolina Avenue, Second Base gives you easy access on and off the island.
The kitchen of this house is being gutted and remodeled this winter, new pictures should be available by March 1st.
This beautiful home in the dunes of Holden Beach, North Carolina is a great escape from the hectic world. The home has incredible views and lots of rockers and chaise lounges from which to enjoy them.
Inside, this comfortable home has plenty of space for everyone with four TVs, two VCRs, and one DVD player; there are also CD players available in the living room and one bedroom. The home has an extensive library so there is plenty of reading material for all the "beach readers" in your family. Wireless internet is provided at the home.
The downstairs is enclosed with two parking areas on either end and a play area with a ping pong table for the kids... great for rainy days at the beach. There is a basketball goal and four bikes for those who need to exercise while they are at the beach.
A great home at a great family beach; come here when you need to get-away from it all!

Map & Owner's Profile
Second Base - Best Value on the Beach!
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Holden Beach
We love Holden Beach because it is the one place where we get away from the hectic pace of daily life and work. This is where we really relax and recharge our batteries before we go back to the real world.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Coffee and the newspaper in the sunroom first thing in the morning is our regular ritual when we are at the beach. We love sitting on the back porch rocking an afternoon away while watching the ocean waves roll in. The house is an easy walk to the beach so it is very convenient to go down to the beach a couple of times a day if we like and we love late summer afternoons on the beach.
Owner's Map of Holden Beach
We first visited Holden Beach about 1989 when our children were very little and we fell in love with this quiet family beach community. We continued to come to Holden at least once year and in 2000 took the plunge and purchased our piece of "beach heaven".

Superb home, very spacious and clean. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone. My grandson rode the bike (furnished by the owners) over the island (he's 15) and found a small fishing dock 2 blocks from this home. He and my husband spent several hours fishing, watching the boats go by, etc. My granddaughters went to the beach while the guys fished. My husband enjoyed the sunroom, and reading while we were there. The beach was about 3 blocks from this home. The Holden pier was about 5 minutes away, however, the dock 2 blocks away, was perfect for just the view and fishing in the inlet. Well worth the money for a Holden Beach stay. The nicest family beach I have ever been to, looking forward to going back soon...

We are loosing count of how many years we have made it to "Second Base." Here we have fond memories of old friends and good times with new friends. Once again the boys took part in Olympic ping-pong, we swam in the rain, and said goodbye to the summer at Holden! We got to Provisions and had a great weekend. Thank you again for opening your house to a bunch of over-worked educators!

Thank you very much for allowing our family to stay at your home. The accommodations were great. The outside shower was so helpful after a day at the beach. The books for the kids were great; each night we read stories. We enjoyed the rocking chairs in the evening after the kids went to bed. Thanks again and we hope to return next summer.

Thank you again for letting us use this fabulous home. After becoming familiar with the area last year, we spent more time playing and relaxing at the beach this year. Once again nature provided us with an incredible light show which we enjoyed from the back porch. We are looking forward to next years visit to "Second Base."

This is the Henline family saying thanks a million for letting us stay here in your beautiful house. We truly enjoyed our stay and hanging out at the beach. This was actually our longest vacation to the beach! My brother Will and I set up our own ping-pong tournament and played until we couldn't even see the ball! Pammy and Lisa loved the hammock (they spent a lot of time there!. Thanks again.

As always our time at your lovely home was wonderful. We spent two perfect days sunning and relaxing in ideal weather. The boys played rigorous ping pong and basketball tournaments and the girls enjoyed the freezer cups! Thanks so much for another great visit!

We have two words to describe our mini-vacation...absolutley perfect! The house, the weather - we had a great time! We tried to do it all. We spent the day shopping and walking in Southport on Friday. It's a great waterfront town! Saturday we stayed at the house. We ran, rode bikes for a couple of hours, played ping pong, went to the beach, and enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the ocean. The house is great and lacks nothing. The personal touches meant a lot since this was our first trip to Holden Beach. We kept saying "we need another day". We definitely want to come back sometime next year. Maybe for a whole week! Thanks so much for sharing your beach home with us!
