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!!!
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!
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 had such a wonderful long weekend at Holden Beach. We were surprised when we got there that the property was even better than we expected. The view of the ocean is amazing and the pool is huge. The walk to the beach is short and easy. The host was amazing to work with and answered any questions that we had in a timely manner. We would definitely stay here again.
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.
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!
Lovely view, spacious living area, well appointed
Pool was wonderful, kids loved it. Lots of room for whole family 10 of us)
I love to shell and walk to east inlet was a great vacation
We usually rent oceanfront but none was available for our size group. This provides perfect unobstructed view of ocean and a very short walk to the beach. Would definitely come again
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.
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 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.
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.
