About this property
5 Bedroom 2nd Row Home with Heated Pool and Spectacular Marsh and Ocean Views
Cleaning, Linens, Towels and Pool Heating are included in base rate!
This new, 5-bedroom home, finished in May 2016, boasts the best decks on the island. Enjoy ocean and marsh views from two levels of wrap around porches that ensure plenty of sun or shade to meet your mood at any time of the day. From the back decks we have spotted deer, coyotes, and several bird species. From the front deck, you can see dolphins playing in the wake of shrimping boats, rabbits hopping in the dunes, and on May 6th, we even spotted a whale breaching.
The CAMA public beach access directly across the street makes getting to the beach a breeze, and a private pool, shaded at mid-day, offers a relaxing alternative to the ocean. Your family will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the water.
The home is built on an inverted floor plan with four bedrooms on the first level: facing the ocean are: a six-person bunk bed room that is perfect for kids and a queen bedroom, and facing the marsh are one queen bedroom and one bedroom with two twin beds. The master bedroom, with a king bed, provides an amazing ocean view from the second level. Also on the second level are: the kitchen, dining room and living room, all with views of both the ocean and marsh. This house has beds for 8 adults and 6 children. 10 adults can also comfortably sleep with two adults per bedroom.
This house has two levels of wrap around porches to optimize vistas of the ocean and marsh. Enjoy views of the ocean from rocking chairs on the top deck or the first floor deck. Enjoy a meal and a spectacular marsh view from the top rear deck - you might spot deer, raccoons and coyotes and you will definitely see several birds and crabs. Relax by the marsh on the first floor rear deck with cushioned patio furniture and a 4 person table perfect for a board game or a snack. The front and rear decks are connected through large side decks which provide great play areas for kids. Should pool time prove too much fun, take a break at the pool-side, shaded picnic table. It is a great spot for lunch and it's close to the charcoal grill available for renters to use. If you're visiting us in the off-season, the pool can be heated for your comfort.
This is our dream home and because we want you to feel at home here we offer toys, games, books, beach chairs, beach tent, linen and towel service and a stocked kitchen. We hope to welcome you soon!

Great location right across from beach access! Pool was great to have for the kids. Incredible views from both sides of deck. Definitely recommend staying here if you are coming to Holden Beach!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Purple Porpoise! The house was beautiful, spacious, very clean & well maintained. Our little family gathering was wonderful and relaxing here. The views from the double decks were amazing!! We had a choice between the ocean views in the front, and the vast marsh views from the back! Having the use of the heated pool was also very convenient & enjoyable! Could not have enjoyed our stay more! Thanks Monica, we hope to make it back down here again soon!Carolyn and Bill
Everything was clean, layout was great for our "Girls" trip, plenty of beds. Lots of stairs, we got our steps in! Only thing bad was the pool did not have a pole skimmer net (had the pole, no net) to clean the pollen out of the pool.Views are fantastic!
Excellent stay! The host was absolutely wonderful. Plenty of space for our 2-family group. The house was well kept and clean! Thank you for an awesome vacation!
Great common areas and bedrooms. The house had easy access to the beach and the pool was great in the evenings. Check-in and out was easy, house manager was very friendly and communicated well.
We had the most amazing stay! Everyone was so nice and helpful and the house was so beautiful and perfect size!! I would love to stay here again in the future!
This was our third time staying at this property. It is always a great experience with Monica and the house is always clean and well equipped with everything we need for a comfortable relaxing stay.
From scheduling to arrival and leaving was very accommaodating with owners. Property is well maintained, homey and beach access across the street and beautiful view of marshland.
This is our fourth time staying in this house with two families with children. The views from the house and the quick walk to the beach are amazing. And the pool is a nice bonus! The house itself is clean and in great shape. Lots of beach chairs, toys, games, and books (kids and adult) available. We always have a great stay!
The property was exactly as described and was spotless! We loved the location, which provided fabulous views of both the ocean and marsh. The beach access was right across the street and the beach was gorgeous. We really appreciated the owners allowing us to check in early.
This home is fantastic! The views of the march and the ocean are incredible. The house itself is lovely and was spotless. We loved everything about this perfect vacation home!

Thank you so much Lori! We’re thrilled you loved your stay.
The house was very nice and had everything we needed. Loved the view and the pool was prefect for the kids. The owners were incredibly responsive to the minor issues we incurred. Would go back.
This was second time staying at the Purple Porpoise! We are a group of nurses who vacation together for many many years! House was clean , spacious and plenty of room. Views from back deck at sunset are breathtaking . Right across street from beach with easy beach access.

About the host
Hosted by Monica and John
We live and work in Raleigh, NC and relax in Holden Beach.
Why they chose this property
When we first traveled to Holden Beach, we knew this was the beach we wanted to return to as often as possible. The views are breathtaking and the small beach town atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. We built our dream vacation home here and we hope to have the opportunity to share it with you.
What makes this property unique
We enjoy spending time outdoors, so we built large wrap around porches to truly showcase the beauty of the island with views of the ocean and marsh. Our children love sleepovers so we designed a bunk room to accommodate six children so nobody is left out.
