Holden Beach - Judge to be the best family beach in 2015.
For a “laid-back” atmosphere, Leatherman favors Holden Beach, N.C. (pop. 575). On a tiny barrier island, the town is primarily residential, and traffic and crime are minimal. “When I look at the family beaches, safety is a very big issue,” Leatherman says.
Additional rooms close by: Do you have a larger group coming? There is a duplex directly across the street that sleeps 8 and it is also listed on VRBO as property 220585. This is ideal for a family reunion or large gathering that needs additional space.

NORTH CAROLINA’S BEST BEACHES:
The best beaches in North Carolina are made better by the perfect vacation rental: a breezy beach house, modern condo, or classic cottage, perhaps?
Here is additional information and suggestions for pets in our house.
Pet Safety- Keep plenty of fresh water available to them and encourage them to drink it often. Many dogs like to drink the salty ocean water, but it is not good for them.
 Protect your pup’s paw pads from the hot sand during the summer. It is best to walk in the early morning or late evening when the sand is cooler.
 The hottest time of day will be from noon to 4pm. It is a good idea to avoid having your pet in the sun during this time.
 Dehydration can happen much faster in the summer. When you are away from your vacation rental, be sure to pack water for your pet – about twice as much as they would normally drink.
 Pets with shorter or lighter-colored fur are prone to sunburn easily, especially their nose and ears. If shade is not available, please consider bringing a sunscreen made for pets.
Tips & Tricks
 Be sure that your pet wears an ID collar complete with your cell phone number. If your pet’s collar has your home phone listed and you are on vacation, it will be difficult to contact you in the event he/she runs off.
 Rinse your pet with a hose or the vacation rental’s outdoor shower at the end of each day – sand and salt are just as uncomfortable for them as they are to you following a hot day.
 Be mindful of your pet overexerting him-/herself when playing in the sand or surf. Like children, they don’t always stop.
Holden Beach does not allow dogs on the beach from May 20th to September 10th between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Dogs must be on a leash at all times on the island. Allowed on the beach September 11 to May 19th.

Great place to stay!
We enjoyed staying at this house very much! It is well located, with just a short walk to the beach. The house is very well maintained and stocked with everything we needed - kitchen, rainy day entertainment, and beach supplies. Mr. Byron was very helpful with any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great visit to Holden Beach!

Holden is a GEM!
We had an awesome stay at this property! It was clean, comfy and generously equipped! It was a short walk to the beach to the private neighborhood walkway where we found so many treasures! We can't wait to plan our next trip!! Nice restaurant options as well! It reminded us a lot of our favorite SC beach, Edisto! Great host!

About the host

Hosted by Byron Ritter

Host profile image
Our parents built this house in 1979. They lived in it from 1991 until 2008. The house and property is well maintained. The house is now owned by the three brother's families. We live in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. We vacation in our house each year, so we know what is expected for a vacation home. We appreciate constructive suggestions for improvements from our guests. We encourage repeat guests.

Why they chose this property

For 2023 we added a new sofa, light downstairs on beach side for night outside grilling, new 55" Smart HD TV in living area. In 2022 we added new end tables in living area. We have a new dining room table and chairs coming soon. We added 2 rockers on the beach side porch. In 2021 we added new storm doors, flood lights on each corner of the house, stained the porches and outside shower, added vanity and medicine cabinet in downstairs bathroom. We replaced the vinyl siding and windows in 2019. We covered the front yard with gravel for easy and comfortable walking (2018). No sandspurs! We have new premium mattresses and box springs on all four queen size beds. This property is a great location for walking to the beach or the inland water way. You can see both the ocean and the water way from the porches. The ocean is only a short 5-minute walk from the house. There is a private walkway over the dunes we help maintain that is part of the walk over to the beach. We make several improvements every year.

What makes this property unique

We have an enclosed downstairs with outside and inside showers downstairs. There is room for two cars in the enclosed downstairs bumper to bumper. The enclosed downstairs keeps your vehicle clean and prevents salt air covering your vehicle. You can have dinner downstairs great for hosting neighbors. We have charcoal grill provided.

June through August are all 7-day rentals Saturday to Saturday. We help maintain a private walkway over the dunes at the end of Boyd St. That provides a 5-minute walk to the beach or waterway. We have a picnic table on the downstairs porch beach side. This provides privacy and outside enjoyment for your meal. We have added a beachside downstairs light for night outside grilling.
