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.

Peaceful and tranquil view of the beach from top floor balcony. Great place to enjoy your cup of coffee in the mornings! Plenty of room for a large family. Pool area was clean and had a selection of toys for my grandson. Really enjoyed staying here with our family!
Amazing location, with beach access right across the street! The floor plan was perfect for our group, which included 2 small children and our in-laws. We really enjoyed the pool and the charcoal grill. The property was very clean, although could use some updating (for example, the decking around the pool needs some TLC).
This was a great house for our group of six adults and four children to stay in for a long weekend. Location was great and the communication with the property management was really good.
Loved the location. The property was just as advertised. We enjoyed the pool and the decks, especially the little sitting area off of the kitchen. The house was comfortable and we took turns cooking meals. Would definitely stay again.
The house is wonderful, the view spectacular!! Jaynee is a great host! Very responsive, gave us great info on the area. Highly recommend this house, the area and Jaynee!!!

You all were some of our most favorite of all guests! We welcome you guys back at ANY time. Thank you for your kind words…I just wish weather had been better for you guys! Do come back!
Check in was good. There are pots and pans and bowls and miscellaneous and so many different cupboards. Most hard to try to figure out where everything was at.

Thank you for your kind words. I guess because there are so many cabinets I. Kitchen and it is so large, pots go in one spot, fry pans in another, serving bowls/dishes in yet another. Plates in one…glass separate…we try to keep each format separately so we can do inventory control easier to ensure you have all the items you would expect in a top kitchen.
But we are very grateful for your kind remarks and are always looking for ways to improve. Thank you!!!
We welcome you guys back any time!
Great house, great view, minutes’ walk to the beach
Great location, easy walk to beach and amazing views. Owner was very timely in all communication and very helpful with any questions we had. House was clean and pool was perfect! Would stay here again!
We had a great time and any concerns were quickly addressed with the host. Loved the pool and easy access to the beach. The view of the beach is unobstructed as promised.

The home was great. The location was perfect. The house was well stocked with plenty of room. The pool was the perfect break from the hot beach, especially for the kids. We’d love to come back again!
Great house, great location! We had a wonderful time. Could use more outside shade and seating.

This group was fantastic! They were great renters as they did not seem like renters but more like they were the homeowner’s themselves. They are welcome back at any time! Hope you guys had a good time while staying at “Star if the Sea”!
This was our 2nd stay at Star of the Sea. We love it! The ocean view is beautiful, the beach and shells were wonderful & the house and pool were fantastic!

We loved having you as our guests and hope to have you back again next year! Thanks so
much for all of your kind words...
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!
Great location, great pool, great views, large house. Any questions, any issues were handled very responsibly by the owners. Would consider renting this house again.
We spent most of our time on the back patio overlooking the beach with no obstructed views 🤩❤️. Owner was fast and helpful with all communication. Will go back!
We have never been to Holden Beach before and we absolutely fell in love with it! Our weather wasn’t that great but we managed to make the best of it. The pool was amazing and the house was plenty big for all of us. We can’t wait to make another visit next year!

We thank you for your feedback! Although we used to have cable…more and more demand for fire sticks and/or smart tv’s. Sorry! We exterminate the house on a monthly schedule. Unfortunately, water bugs are always at the beach —especially when we have had lots of rain.
We are in the midst of upgrading this property —we do a little bit each year. We are doing away with Jets in Master Tub as they tend to be problematic.
Thank you for being our guests and so glad you enjoyed the fabulous and panoramic views of the unobstructed view of waves crashing onto beachfront from third level. Everybody loves having the large private pool in back yard and proximity to the private access to beach!
Please come back to visit us!
What a wonderful vacation home . The house suited our needs perfectly. The view was phenomenal, the pool area was wonderful (very large pool, comfortable seating in both the sun and the shade), kitchen was well equipped. Loved the shade porch overlooking the pool. The hosts were available to answer any questions we would have and were very accommodating. It is a short walk to the beach and the beach cart and chairs provided by the hosts made everything easy.I guess the best recommendation is we are looking to rent again next summer.

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.
