Perfect Vacation!

This was our first stay on Holden Beach, and we truly enjoyed every minute! Elizabeth shared information about the island, including beach access, restaurants, and family activities, all very helpful to us as first timers. The house is better than pictured, exceptionally clean and well stocked, and full of activities for the kids. Our vacation was simply wonderful! We will definitely return.

Great house and location across the road from the ocean. Heated pool was a big plus as the temps were cooler than normal. Beautiful views of the marsh and intercoastal waterway from the very large kitchem window. The owner , Elizabeth, was wonderful to work with.

Beautiful Home!

We had a wonderful stay at Carolina Views! We have stayed at several rental properties on Holden Beach and this was one of the best! The house was beautiful. The outside seating area was very comfortable and well done. We had the pool heated and it was lovely. The attention to detail and the extra amenities that were provided was very much appreciated. We hope to return in the future.

Amazing Marsh Views!!!

The house was clean and well stocked. We appreciated not having to bring our beach set-ups as chairs, a cart, and toys are provided. The outside areas and pool are great for hanging out. Also, plenty of seating everywhere inside and out! The layout is great for friends or a family with kids. The best part are the most amazing views from the 3rd floor! We enjoyed our stay, thanks for having us.

We just got home from a wonderful stay at Carolina Views. The home was perfect, from the set up of the rooms,to the outdoor space and the pool! This home has everything you will need. Elizabeth was a great host, she touched base with us before check-in with instructions and a Welcome Guide,to suggestions for restaurants in the area. This was our first trip to the Holden Beach area and hopefully not our last! Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

Great Views!

The kitchen and carport views were our favorite. We loved walking and biking along the sidewalk. It was nice that there are no hotels or big commercial buildings. The beach area faces south into the ocean. You can walk in one direction to see the sunrise and the other to see the sunset. The kids loved playing in the carport area and sitting at the dining table watching the big screen television.

Holden Beach

We enjoyed staying at the Carolina Views home in Holden Beach. The home had breathtaking views of the marsh and was extremely clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked yet a short distance to a coffee shop and grocery store if need be. We had a minor issue with a fan when I checked in and the homeowner was responsive immediately and resolved our issue. The amount of space for my family of 6 was perfect. The beach was a quick stroll across the street and the private pool was an added perk after staying at the beach all day. I would highly recommend staying at this home for a relaxing vacation with family. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Amazing rental!!

We absolutely loved our stay here! We have stayed in a lot of rentals, but this one really checked every box. Loved the location that was a little farther down Holden Beach, just keep in mind that shops/restaurants will not be within walking distance. Being across the street from the beach and right in front of the marsh was exceptional. The home had lots of space but was cozy at the same time. The pool was great and so glad we paid extra to have it heated - well worth it! Lots of games for outside and inside too. We had absolutely no issues and love this home. We will definitely be back!!

Had a shell of a time!

Loved this property. Elizabeth made sure we had everything we needed for our 2 month old. A high chair and pack and play. The views were amazing. Pictures don’t do it justice. Location was perfect. Just far enough away from the causeway and so close to the beach. 2 beach access but we used the private one mostly. Spent the afternoons at the pool and grilling out back. The rooms were gorgeous and the over all lay out was so cozy. Again the communication with Elizabeth was top notch and I loved every minute of our week vacation!!

Second row heaven

We loved our stay! The house was perfect. It was clean, modern and spacious. The pool (which we choose to have heated) was amazing. I for sure recommend having it heated! The walk to the beach was not bad at all (we had a 5 year old, 2 year old and 2 18 month olds) and managed it just fine. The host are awesome and very responsive and accommodating. Did I mention the marsh views??? They were incredible and peaceful!

Perfect getaway to close out Summer

Our families had a wonderful stay at Carolina Views over Labor Day weekend. The house was beautiful, updated, very clean and provided all the extra comforts and touches making our stay the perfect getaway. The house gets its name honestly because the views are amazing! Some of our favorite moments started and ended with those incredible views. The back opens up to sunsets and marsh views, while the front glistens ocean views and sunrises. Our host Elizabeth was attentive and helpful from the start providing recommendations and suggestions along with checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already making plans to return again soon! ~ The Thompson Family & The Light Family - Charlotte, NC

Wonderful family vacation at Carolina Views!

Elizabeth and her family have done a wonderful job updating and decorating this fabulous beach house. We had 4 adults and 2 small kids and could have easily been comfortable with a few more people. The beds were very comfortable and I especially loved the bunk room for the kids. My little ones had fun playing with the toys! The views were even better than I expected and the house was very conveniently located with a short, easy walk to the beach. The biggest highlight of the home is the brand new pool
 it was perfect and the kids had so much fun swimming every day! Elizabeth was great to work with and always answered my questions right away both before and during the trip. We had a fantastic week at Holden Beach and plan to come back!

Relaxing Family Getaway

From the moment that we saw the house, we knew we were going to have a great week. The house was beautiful, spacious and comfortable and Elizabeth was a helpful and very responsive host. From the "Welcome Letter" to the letting us know the minute that the house was available for us to check in to having a coffee maker shipped right to our door first thing in the morning, she really cared about making sure that everything was perfect for us. Highlights for us included the pool, the easy proximity to the beach, the views of the marsh from the back deck, the large dining table for family games, the well stocked kitchen and the comfortable rooms. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed, from coffee to pots and pans to condiments and spices, and even containers to store leftovers. The pool was comfortable with nice floats to lay on and at least part of the pool area had sun all day long. We are so happy that we chose "Carolina Views" for our vacation.

Our 38th visit to Holden Beach, NC. Family reunion

The house was light, bright, comfortable and fun!!! The views of deer, birds and fishermen in the marsh was stunning! The availability on games under deck was terrific plus a grille!! Just so happened Food Lion has a sale on rib eye and Holden Fish market had some beautiful scallops!!! Nice surf & turf!! The house was clean and full of windows which was great because it was cool inside but you felt outside! A plus- A POOL IS BEING ADDED! Missed it by one year. For us over 60, we are hoping for an elevator

Our Stay was Fantastic.

The AC went out on the main floor on our second day there, because of a storm. The owners went out of the way to make sure we were comfortable, since it was on a Sunday and the part that was needed couldn’t be purchased until Monday morning,. The owners went and purchased small mobile AC units to try to keep us comfortable. Then at 9am on Monday the AC guys were there and had us up and going quickly. We enjoyed the week and will definitely be back. The customer service we were shown was well above and beyond what we expected. Can’t wait to book our next trip to this fabulous property.

Best week ever

Our first family vacation since the kids have grown up and now have kids of their own! The house was very spacious so everyone could spread out. The grandkids loved the bunk room with a tv to play their Switch on. Private beach access was really close to walk to so we went to the beach every day and then topped the afternoon off at the pool. We cooked a few meals in and the kitchen was large enough that everyone could help prepare. Loved the views from the decks. Watched a storm come in over the marsh while sitting on the back deck. Herons by the dozens and even deer in the marsh. We didn’t want to leave!

Beautiful home

My book club enjoyed a wonderful fall weekend in your beautifully decorated home. We are all women of a certain age (70+) and appreciated the calming tasteful beach decor and the availability of every convenience in the kitchen. You are a wonderful host and have anticipated every need that your guests might have, from games, puzzles, toiletries, paper products, and hair dryers to outdoor games and comfortable seating in the breezy area under the house. We were able to use the heated pool, even in October, and the beach is just short walk across the street. The marsh views along the back of the house are incredible. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us...when I woke up at home this morning, I wished I were still there!

Views for Days!

What can I say but WOW! What a gorgeous home with even more gorgeous views! I loved cooking dinner in the spacious (and exceptionally well equipped) kitchen while watching the sunset over the marsh. The beach itself is just a few steps away with private beach access and miles of expansive beach with fantastic shelling. While this home is a great jumping off point for day trips to neighboring islands, our favorite time was enjoying the ocean right there in Holden. I chose this home for a girls’ weekend and the layout was perfect, especially with each spacious bedroom having en suite bathrooms, making it perfect for friends, couples, or a large family. I’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals, and this one stands out for its cleanliness, space, amenities, gracious host, and amazing VIEWS! I don’t do many repeat trips, but I can say with certainty I will be back!

Beautiful updated home with spectacular views

This home has the ahhh factor. Everything was clean and we lacked for nothing. The toys and corn hole and ping pong under the house were a great addition. We watched a storm coming in on the back deck over the marsh. Nature’s fireworks. The sunsets were beautiful. The views from the kitchen sink window had us arguing over who was doing cleanup. The owner touched base several times. I cannot say enough good things about this home. It was a great place to stay with plenty of room and comfortable furniture and beds. Elizabeth was great to work with and went above and beyond.

Om vÀrden

Elizabeth Gerlach Àr vÀrd

VĂ€rdens profilbild
Hi! We're Rob and Elizabeth Gerlach, new owners of Carolina Views. This is our first vacation rental and we are super excited to host you and your family. I (Elizabeth) grew up in the south and spent every summer vacation at a North Carolina beach with my family. I'm thrilled to have our own now and hope we can help you and your family create wonderful vacation memories. If there is anything you need, please reach out!

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

We chose Holden Beach because of its low-key, laid-back, not overly-commercialized community. Everything you need is right on or near the island. The beaches are beautiful and the water is nice! Also, we love all of the views at Holden.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Carolina Views is one of the more unique properties 
 simply because of its lot size and privacy since its surrounded by marshland.
