About this property

Fabulous beach view! Large pool…across from beach access. Decks on both levels!

"Star of the Sea" is a 4 Bdrms./3.5 baths home offering "free heated" pool (one filled propane tank per visit) with new booking of 5 nights or longer during May and June of 2025. This house is on a CORNER directly across street from ocean with unobstructed views and private beach access. Ocean Blvd. W. -- 1/2 mile from bridge with option for heated private pool. The direct beachfront view is totally wide open with no obstructions. You literally watch the waves pound the sands of the surf! There are wrap around decks (from front to back on both floors)! Sit on front porch watching and listening to the waves crashing on the sand directly in front of you. You can also sit on covered back porch overlooking pool and watch the boats pass by on the Intercoastal waterway.

A great bonus for the family... if the beach is too hot or crowded, head to your own swimming retreat in the privacy fenced back yard oasis. Relax by the pool in a tranquil environment, swim a few laps, or even play some pool basketball in one of the largest pools on the island of Holden Beach!

Parking with 2 sides under home for cars and then head to the coral door which leads you to your haven for the week. Choose from one of two bedrooms facing beach or one of the two in the rear (one overlooking pool). Two of the four bedrooms even have a wraparound porch along the entire side of house with northern end overlooking pool. Third level has an open floor concept with half bath/Living Room/Dining Room, Kitchen bar-center island workspace, and large kitchen fully stocked with dishware, glasses, tools, pots, and pans.... a spacious pantry for storage as well. Enjoy the massive front porch on this level with view of ocean or walk around the deck to the covered back porch overlooking pool.

TVs with cable in each room and living area. Books/games for kids and the family available as well. Beach/pool toys in lower outdoor closet for your use ---just remember to clean them before putting back in closet. WiFi is high speed throughout the home.

Pool is cleaned once a week and monitored mid-week (if you desire additional pool monitoring/cleaning, for additional fee). This is one of the largest pools on the island and can be heated.....INQUIRE FOR COST OF HEATING AT TIME OF BOOKING.

This home is located on a corner lot and is fairly close to main entrance onto island of Holden Beach and is within 1/2 -3/4 mile to Children s Park, Basketball courts, Holden Beach Chapel, Town Hall, Post Office, and 3 restaurants (located on island). The pier is just down the road approx. 1 mile. Several other restaurants, water slides, putt-putt golf, shops, ice cream parlors just across bridge. Holden Beach Island is a wonderful and fun-filled place to create memories for families while reminiscing those days of summer vacations.

Great Location and Beautiful Home.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Easy beach access and convenient to shopping. The house is pleasantly decorated with open airy feel in the living area. Great view from front deck and nice seating area around to the rear of that deck. Pool was greatly enjoyed by the grandchildren, especially. While we did encounter a couple of issues at first. They were quickly resolved. Very attentive owner who strives to make your stay wonderful. Hope to come back in the future.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Star of the Sea. Plenty of room for 6 adults and two children. The well-stocked kitchen with island allowed for two people to prepare meals. The pool was large enough for us all to play and swim in. Beach access was so convenient. The true star was the view from the front balcony. Another covered porch looks out over the pool. Owner was very accommodating and helpful, replying to questions quickly. Bedrooms are good size. Two bunk beds in one room, with its own bathroom. Spacious master has king bed and own en suite. The other bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. One of those bedrooms has glass panel French doors (with light curtains) that inhibits privacy in that room a bit. Holden Beach maintains a ‘residential’ atmosphere that contributes to a relaxing vacation. We will return to this house and would recommend to our friends and families.

Great getaway!

Great property for your vacation. Home was super clean, hosts were extremely responsive to communications, and check in/out was extremely simple. Quick note if you have little ones - make sure they don't drag their feet on the wood deck surrounding the pool. We came home with a handful of splinters!

Amazing location in a great little beach town!

We had a great time during our stay here! It has all of the amenities we were looking for and the property owner was wonderful and communicated everything we needed to know. Even stopped by to start the pool heater which we really enjoyed, and worked with us on switching properties after a family illness prevented some guests from attending. So awesome to walk across the street to the private beach access! Will definitely stay again!

Beautiful location

This home has a beautiful view and plenty of space for a family. The home is located across the street from the beach with an uninstructed view of the ocean. It also has a pool that was so nice & very clean. The home was nicely furnished & the kitchen was well stocked. The owners are very nice and quick to respond. Our only complaint is that it is in need of a deep cleaning.

Family Vacation

We were very pleased with this house on Holden Beach. I rent a couple times a year typically at Emerald Isle. This was my first visit to Holden in over 30 years. This was the cleanest house that we have ever stayed in. This was a family trip and there was plenty of room for everyone. Very spacious living area and beautiful views.

Beautiful home and location!

Everything about the property was fabulous! It was perfect for our family vacation. The view was amazing, the multiple outdoor seating areas and the heated pool were a big plus! Everything we could have needed was provided in a super clean and calming environment. The walk across the beach was quick and traffic was minimal and courteous about letting us cross. Owners are quick to respond to any questions. Great location, not far from the bridge, walking distance to two restaurants and shops, but we still made the quick 5 minute drive across the bridge every night for ice cream. Highly recommend this home, can’t wait to go back!

A shining Star at Holden Beach

Amazing House, Deck, Pool, Location... it has it all. It was like a ship on the ocean all to ourselves. The best 3rd floor deck on the island with an unobstructed view of the sky and beach which is literally right there. I spent hours and hours on the deck watching the birds and sky. At night the stars go from overhead all the way down to the horizon in front of you. The 3rd floor is perfect with a capable kitchen that has plenty of gear to get any job done. The 2nd floor sleeping quarters are very nice and the master bathroom is lovely. Super comfy beds, great water supply. The bottom level entrance is also perfect. The pool was wonderful. Gas grill. This place has it all. All in all, I was sad to leave and could have stayed here forever. I hope to return some day.

Loveliest stay ever

This property was in the perfect spot. I was worried about it not being directly on the beach, but there is no home across the street in front of it so you have unobstructed views & can still hear the ocean. The walk is a very short walk across the street and then your toes hit sand. The house is a also only a few short blocks bike ride from ice cream—yum! And the house itself was set up and laid out beautifully. It was immaculate. And had so much outer porch space to sit and enjoy the beautiful Carolina weather. Also — their pool is amazing! Perfect for the whole family. We’ll definitely be going back!

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood surrounding Star of the Sea at Holden Beach is a picturesque embodiment of coastal charm and family-friendly relaxation. What I enjoy most about this area is its perfect balance of convenience and serenity. The house's close proximity to the Holden Beach bridge is a strategic advantage, especially during peak seasons, allowing for easy travel and avoidance of traffic.

The beach itself exudes a laid-back, family-oriented atmosphere, and Star of the Sea is situated right in the heart of it. The location is ideal – it’s close enough to walk to local restaurants, yet the house is strategically placed on a corner lot, offering a sense of privacy and exclusivity. This setting creates a perfect backdrop for family outings or leisurely strolls to nearby dining spots.

One of the property's highlights is its pool area, an idyllic spot to spend a lazy afternoon basking in the sun or cooling off in the water, especially after a day spent on the sandy shores. This outdoor oasis adds to the home’s appeal, providing a private retreat for relaxation and fun.

The decks of the house are another feature that enhances the living experience. They are perfect for hosting gatherings, whether it's an evening of entertaining friends, enjoying a sunset dinner, or sipping cocktails as the day transitions into a balmy summer night. These decks offer not just a space for socializing but also spectacular views that make every moment special.

Overall, Star of the Sea offers the perfect blend of vistas and tranquility. It's a place where the soothing rhythms of the beach life are felt in every corner, from the gentle sea breezes to the soft sounds of waves in the distance. It's more than just a location; it's a lifestyle – relaxed, enjoyable, and deeply connected to the natural beauty of Holden Beach.

What makes this property unique

Star of the Sea at Holden Beach stands out for its exceptional beachfront views, rare in the area due to its advantageous position beside an empty lot. This unique setting offers guests a full, unobstructed vista of the Atlantic Ocean, creating a serene and picturesque backdrop for your stay.

The property's proximity to a close beach access adds to its appeal, allowing for easy and quick trips to the shore. Situated on a corner lot, it provides a tranquil environment, perfect for leisurely strolls away from the main roads, enveloping guests in the peaceful ambiance of the beachside community. Walking distance to many of the island's attractions and close enough to avoid the traffic with easy access on/off the island.

Moreover, Star of the Sea excels in its entertainment spaces. It features a large pool and expansive deck space, both offering breathtaking views. These areas are ideal for lively gatherings or quiet evenings soaking in the stunning oceanic panorama. The combination of its unique beachfront perspective, ease of beach access, serene location, and vibrant entertaining spaces makes this property a distinctive and sought-after destination at Holden Beach.
