Short walk to beach access point. House was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with tools and equipment. Nice to have access to beach chairs and shade to save on packing. Bonus: a wagon to take supplies back and forth!
Property was great, especially because of the beach supplies the owner offered. Helped us cut down on packing and we enjoyed riding bikes to get ice cream / coffee. Our first time staying 4th row at Holden beach and going through vrbo and it was good.
Very nice property. Close to the beach. A lot of other amenities. Unfortunately we simply did not have time to enjoy them all. Would definitely go back.
We had an amazing stay here! It’s just a short walk to the beach, it is a safe area to walk/bike freely with kids, stores & playground are close by; this house is suitable for a family or friends getaway. It’s so beautiful & quiet. The balconies and backyard of this property provide more than enough areas to gather outside. The kitchen has the equipment to cook & eat-in daily. We cannot wait to book another visit! I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a safe & beautiful place to vacation.
Bright, spacious, and immaculate. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Super kid friendly with lots of beach toys, chairs, wagon, Shibumi shade, etc. Short walk to the beach and even peekaboo views of the ocean from some of the balconies. Giant Adirondack chair in the backyard a plus for pictures!

About the host
Hosted by Giedre
We’re a family who loves meaningful travel, time together, and creating spaces where memories are made. Sandy Unicorn is one of our family’s second homes, and we’ve thoughtfully set it up so guests can arrive, exhale, and truly enjoy their time without worrying about the little details.
As hosts, we care deeply about comfort, cleanliness, and communication. We travel often ourselves, so we’ve stocked the home the way we wish every vacation rental would be — with convenience, warmth, and a few extra touches to make your stay feel easy and special.
Why they chose this property
We explored more than 12+ different beaches in NC & SC while searching for the right place for our family, and the moment we arrived at Holden Beach, we knew it was special. There was an immediate sense of calm, space, and authenticity that we didn’t feel anywhere else.
Unlike crowded resort towns, Holden Beach has no high-rises or hotels — just a peaceful, family-friendly coastal community where the pace slows and nature takes center stage.
The west end stood out to us for its rare combination of convenience and privacy. You’re just minutes from the bridge, restaurants, and local events, yet the home backs up to a protected natural area with no rear neighbors — offering a calm, private atmosphere that’s hard to find at the beach.
Being able to hear the ocean, and truly relax without the noise and crowds is what ultimately made Holden Beach the perfect place for our family — and the reason we’re excited to share it with our guests.
What makes this property unique
Sandy Unicorn offers the best of both worlds — a short walk to the beach and tranquil views of a natural coastal area and the Intracoastal Waterway. With four gated porches, guests can enjoy sunrise coffee, afternoon breezes, and peaceful evenings outdoors in multiple spaces.
The home is exceptionally well stocked, including beach wagon, chairs, toys, fishing poles, and family-friendly extras — so you can pack lighter and relax more. Inside, you’ll find comfortable king beds, a fun bunk room, and a garage game area with ping pong and darts, plus a firepit for evenings under the stars.
It’s a calm, welcoming retreat designed for connection, comfort, and unforgettable beach days.
