WELCOME to “Scotch Bonnet” our freshly purchased home here at Holden Beach. It is a second row home with private beach access directly across the street from the home. Holden Beach and this home supplied everything we were looking for in a family vacation spot. The sweeping ocean vistas from inside and outside of the home, private beach access, backyard pool, and immaculately maintained coastal interior will make you feel as if you have found your new favorite place on earth. Sitting in the swing on the porch you feel like you are Ocean Front. The ground floor provides simple access to the backyard pool which is equipped with pool floats and water toys, a surfboard bar, outdoor grille, and plenty of comfortable pool side seating. The home may be entered from the ground level by interior or exterior stairs and/or elevator providing for painless access from the beach or pool. Upon entering the 1st floor, guests will immediately notice the attention to detail in every space. This home was designed to be a true home away from home and is well adored. The main floor features 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (2 King Beds, 1 Queen bed) as well as a full laundry area. The upstairs is a open Kitchen/Living/Dining area with all of the amenities one may need as well as impressive ocean vistas. It is easy to find your self caught up here watching the dolphins play and/or the pelicans dive for the next meal. The 2nd floor also offers 2 bedrooms (1 queen and 1 bunk room that sleeps 6) 1 jack and jill full bath, and a guest 1/2 bath. The Scotch Bonnet also has 3 decks for your enjoyment (2 overlook the splendid Atlantic and 1 overlooks the pool area).
The Scotch Bonnet is located a short distance to the Holden Beach bridge, but far enough away to avoid the traffic. Ice cream, coffee, Intracoastal, tennis/pickleball courts, concerts in the park, turtle watch programs, weekly tie-die shirts for kids/adults, boat/kayak launch are all within walking distance of the home. Additionally a cycling/walking path runs most of the island and is located directly in front of the home on Ocean Blvd. There are multiple local stores and surf stores that we frequent. Most of these are located just across the bridge. We recommend checking out Provision Co., Mankins, The Scoop, Mermaid's, Patronie's, Inlet View in Shalotte or Lou Lou's for local eats. Saltwater Shanty and Beaches n' Cream are our choice for local ice cream. There are also numerous businesses that provide fresh caught seafood and vegetables if you choose to eat in for the nighttime. Lockwood Folly County Club close by offers golf for the golfers in the family. Additionally, Shallote is only 15 mins. a way and offers numerous good eateries and a local arcade/bowling alley. Calabash and Southport are only 30 mins. away by car with many food and shopping choices in cozy handsome coastal environments. Myrtle Beach and Wilmington are an approximate 45 min. drive. Finally, beach walks always provide sea treasures on Holden and are a favorite activity of our family. Don't forget to leave a message in the mailbox on either the east or west end. You will find Holden offers everything a family wants in a beach hideaway, but leaves out all the things you don't.

We look forward to sharing our home with you and your family this season. The pool can be heated fall and spring for an additional fee. The home is 5 bedroom/4.5 bath and sleeps 14 comfortably. We hope you make many memories here and fall in adore with "The Scotch Bonnet" just as we have.

Strategies for getting the best Holden Beach rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best rental in Holden Beach:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Amazing Views Plus Pool & Private Beach Access Make for a Great Family Vacation has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If not, call the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many difficulties.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
