Other Things to Note:

Want to Turn Up the Heat?

Cooler weather doesn’t have to mean skipping the pool! Add pool heat to your stay and keep those vacation vibes going.



Electric Pool Heat: $75/day during the off-season



When heated, pools typically reach a comfortable 80–84°F, depending on outdoor temperatures and weather conditions.



Pool heat is added for the full length of your stay, and since Mother Nature sometimes has plans of her own, exact water temperatures can’t be guaranteed.

No food, drinks, alcohol, glass, etc. are allowed in or around the pool. Pools are serviced regularly, however please keep in mind that due to the tropical nature of the island, it is not unusual to find unexpected debris and sand in the pool.

Check in was easy. Kitchen was well-stocked and had a large refrigerator. Bedrooms, bathrooms and living space were a good size. Pool was a decent size and clean. More beach accessories than expected. Had concern about washing machine that was quickly addressed. Brunswick surprised us with free ice cream!

Family Christmas Vacation

We’ve been coming to Holden Beach for the past three years and rent a different house every year. We really enjoyed Pelican Watch. The view was perfect for the sunrise and sunset and the walk to the beach was easy. The rooms were all great, especially the bunk bed room for the kids. The house was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed!

Great property

Great property with super beach access and a very nice pool. The kitchen and family room were great for entertaining and enjoying family time. The bedroom and bath setup worked well for our group. Some of the furniture in the living room is showing its age and the sun chairs on the deck are broken but all in all this is a very nice place to enjoy family time at the beach. We will stay here again!

From beginning to end the rental company was in constant contact with us! I had an amazing experience with them. Even on Thursday they had arranged an Ice Cream Truck to visit all the rentals. Very nice touch!! They gave us excellent dinner recommendations. As for the house top notch we had never been to Holden Beach and we all fell in love with the quite tranquil setting. We are definitely coming back was a beautiful beach and the house was nicely located on the beach so everyone could enjoy both the views as well as the beach access. Thank you to all for an amazing vacation!!

We had the best time celebrating a 50th birthday! Friends and family were all comfortable and the house had everything! The oceanfront views from most rooms and access to the beach were more than we hoped for. The communication with the host couldn't have been better! Definitely will stay again!

So glad to be back

Our favorite property on our favorite stretch of the beach at Holden. Over at least eight stays in the 30 years we’ve been coming to Holden. Would have been more, but it has been in and out of the summer rental market over. the years. different room layouts have accommodated many varying age groups overtime with great success. Pool added several years ago is a great bonus, but really wish it had a handrail for entry and exit.

April weekend

Four adults and 10 teens ranging from 13-19 stayed at this home for our church youth retreat. We had a wonderful time! The teens loved fishing in the ocean, playing spike ball on the beach, and the warm pool. The space was accommodating as the adults used the downstairs bedrooms, while the boys slept in the bunk bed room and the girls in the three bedrooms upstairs. The kitchen was large enough for us all to come together for meals. We would love to stay again.

Great getaway with extended family

Pelican Watch was perfect for four generations, ranging in age from 3 mos. to 84 years. Layout allowed more mature guests to be on main floor and the younger ones to be on the upper. En suite baths for the four primary bedrooms give privacy. Property management very quick to respond to questions and problem-solve.We would definitely rent again.

Great location, good house, just a little worn

Overall, a very good experience. Great location, fair price, and a nice house. The only issue we had is there’s clearly been some recent water damage and some of the furniture in the house is pretty beat up. I suspect that’s just what happens when you rent a property out but the pictures, make it look pristine when it’s very used. Any issue we had the rental company quickly responded to. Overall a good stay.

This property is located in the most beautiful space. Having water frontage is definitely superb to having to haul stuff to the beach. However, the lock was inoperable upon arrival even though we had selected early check in only to find out later that the lock was an issue the week before. My sister stood in the heat for an hour trying to access the property and couldn’t get into the maintenance lock box either. The fan in the primary bathroom also didn’t work. The beach chairs provided are completely covered in rust. There is only one additional blanket in the entire home. Although it was stated in the contract I hadn’t been aware of the fact that there would be no lines or towels provided and the additional charge for them was 250. The towels are the tiniest towels I have ever laid eyes on and wouldn’t wrap around more than a toddler. The rolling door to the bedroom with twin beds is so heavy that a child wouldn’t be able to get out of the house if there were an emergency. There is mold in the bottom of the showered and there was a chunk of a bar of soap left in the primary bedroom. There were lots of spices that had been left in the kitchen so that was nice to not have to buy or bring those. The rocking chairs on the upper porch and the back porch are amazing and very comfortable. The space is very nice but has not been well maintained. If this were my property, I would repaint the doors as they are nasty with hand prints. Especially the back door.
