Sandy Unicorn - Spacious & Bright, Newly Furnished, 2-3min walk to the Beach
✨ Welcome to Sandy Unicorn — your peaceful Holden Beach escape ✨
Tucked away on the quiet west end of Holden Beach, Sandy Unicorn is a beautifully stocked 3BR/2BA townhouse just a 2–3 minute stroll to the beach. Sip your morning coffee on the front porch while listening to the ocean, or unwind on the private, gated back decks overlooking a serene natural area along the Intracoastal Waterway.
With no hotels or high-rises, Holden Beach offers a calm, family-friendly atmosphere—perfect for slowing down and truly relaxing. The home’s west-side location puts you just minutes from the bridge for easy arrivals and departures, while still feeling tucked away from the bustle.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need for an effortless stay. The home is thoughtfully stocked with beach wagon, chairs, toys, fishing poles, and more—so you can pack light and enjoy more time by the water. Two bedrooms feature king beds, while the third is perfect for kids or groups with two bunk beds (twin/twin and twin/full).
Enjoy four gated porches (great for littles or fur babies), a firepit for evening gatherings, and a garage game area with ping-pong and darts—plenty of space for both fun and relaxation.
Come experience coastal comfort, peaceful surroundings, and unforgettable beach days at Sandy Unicorn. 🦄🌊

About the host
Your host
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

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.
