WELCOME to “Scotch Bonnet” our newly 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 appreciated. 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 handsome 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 impressive 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 numerous 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 multiple 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.

When to go & When to book:

May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
