About this property

Canal-front, dog-friendly home with beach views, dock, balconies & beach access

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Enjoy abundant sunshine, sand, and surf on your upcoming getaway to Holden Beach! This two-story, waterfront charmer boasts a fantastic location - just steps from beach access, ice cream parlors, restaurants, and the Holden Beach General Store.

This beach retreat features a covered canal-front deck where you can lounge and admire the sparkling waters from the comfort of home. Sit down for alfresco meals at the picnic table with the canal as your backdrop. Two more covered decks are in front of the house, with spectacular beach views from the top floor. There's also a dock for family fishing or small boats, an outdoor swing overlooking the canal, a large outdoor shower with a detachable head (great for washing your dog), and plenty of storage for your beach toys.

The updated interior features an inviting open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows overlooking the canal. Gather in the bright living area to plan your next adventures or watch an entertaining show on TV. The kitchen offers bright white cabinets, a breakfast bar, a pantry, and all the essentials to prepare culinary masterpieces with your family and friends.

There's a bedroom on the first floor that opens to the front deck with a smart TV for added entertainment. The other two bedrooms, each with a smart TV, are on the second level and open to a deck with ocean views. If you're bringing the family dog, this home provides bowls, toys, a leash, even a patio bed for your dog.

Family beach trip at Rosie’s

We enjoyed the house. All the rooms are a great size. The only downside was the bathrooms are really tiny. Great location at the beach, and the beach access was so close. The rental company was very helpful.

Perfect location

The house was very clean and well kept. Our family enjoyed the location of the home. Short walk to the nearest beach ramp. We also enjoyed fishing off the dock and sitting on all the porches at night. We can’t wait to visit again!

Wonderful vacation. House was clean and great proximity to beach. House was spacious for our family of seven but bathrooms are a bit small. Beds were very comfortable. The couches in the living room are worn out and need replaced but otherwise no complaints and would definitely stay again.

A good house in decent location

I would recommend this property, close enough to be the beach to be accessible, but not crowded like the front row properties. Plenty of space for our small group of four, though beds were a little small for the taller amongst us.

Great Home

Very nice home, close beach access. Very nice open living / dining area. The bedrooms worked perfect for our kids and grand kids upstairs and us downstairs. Kids enjoyed fishing off the dock. Will bring our dog next time.

Great Stay in Holden

This was our first time at Holden Beach and we had a great stay at Rosie's Rendezvous. We had plenty of space for our family. The house is welcoming and very comfortable, both inside and out. We all really enjoyed the outdoor space, with both the upstairs porch and the swing on the lower level, looking out at the canal. The walk to the beach was quick and easy and the outdoor shower made it easy to get everyone cleaned up after a day full of sand.

Family vacation

Our family vacationed at Rosie's Rendezvous. We loved the home. It was spacious for our family of seven and our dog. It was very clean upon arrival and had everything we needed. My only recommendation would be updated couches for the living room. The beds were very comfortable and they leave you plenty of towels. The bathrooms are tiny but you have a great outdoor shower which was great. The proximity to the beach is unbeatable. You are just a short walk away to the beautiful beach. Location was spectacular. My family would love to come back again!

Hi Kristy. Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re so glad to hear your family and your dog enjoyed your stay at Rosie’s Rendezvous. It’s great to know the home felt spacious, clean, and well-equipped, and that you loved the comfortable beds, plentiful towels, and outdoor shower. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the living room couches and will keep it in mind for future updates. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the unbeatable beach proximity and would be happy to welcome you back anytime.

Loved this house on Lumberton Avenue

The back porch overlooking the canal was cozy and inviting. The house is clean and well decorated with stylish farmhouse furnishings. It was just the right size for the five of us— four adults and one child—and our little dog. I’m not sure how well it would serve a larger family because the kitchen and bathrooms are very compact, but it was fine for us. The location is great— the beach access is at 357.5 OBW and is just across the street. We would definitely stay at Rosie’s Rendezvous again.

We were not able to check in on time and had an infant with us. The location of the property was excellent and the description of the house was accurate. Bathrooms were a bit tight and kitchen appliances could use an update, but overall pleased with the property.

Rosie’s

The house location was very convenient to the beach, all the kitchen small appliances one could need and tastefully decorated. The bathrooms are super small, but wouldn’t prevent us from staying again. Also, the house could be a tad cleaner such as the bathtub bottom and especially in the bathroom corners. (This is more of a personal issue rather than a reflection on the house in general) It was a wonderful experience and we would stay again.

Close to beach

Nice home offered early check in that was nice appreciated that. Responded fast to couple issues we had. Bathrooms are very tiny and there is no bathroom connected to the master suite, kitchen counter space for meal prep. Nice deck space enjoyed sitting out there a suggestion would be to add fans. We had a nice time and enjoyed our visit. We rented a boat and did some fishing and saw 5 dolphins 🐬 which was the highlight. Found nice shells and shark towers. We would stay in home again and recommend home. Yard has the sticker spurs and got in our dog paw and our foot., so don't walk barefoot. Thank you for sharing home.
