Seven Bedroom Oceanfront Escape

From the moment you glide down the long, white stone driveway lined with tropical palm trees, you'll be engulfed with the feeling of relaxation and pure bliss. This elegant masterpiece of a home is the ultimate beach retreat in North Carolina, with a private walkway to Holden Beach, large front decks that line the 1st and 2nd floors, professional decor, a private hot tub and pool, and fabulous views.

As you step into the home, the elegant, minimalist decor accented with bursts of color from local artwork embraces you with a feeling of comfort. From the warm tones of the walls to the natural wainscoting, you are invited into a beach atmosphere like no other. A few steps further and your mind starts racing again with the vision of the billiards table and flat screen tv coming into view, all backdropped by the large deck and pool. The discovery of a wet bar near the billiards table invites thoughts of delicious drinks while lining up your next shot.

Fighting the urge to explore outside, you make your way up to the Upper Level. Immediately, your breath is taken away as you set your sights upon the wall-to-wall, panoramic ocean view. The hallway leads you to a large, open space with an enormous kitchen bar, backed by the latest appliances. Your stomach starts to speak to you as you envision the meals that will be prepared on the grand stove and in the dual ovens. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about where you are going to store your groceries as there is a large freezer, full-size refrigerator, and (located in the butler’s pantry) another full-size freezer/refrigerator combo.

As inviting as the large, open-spaced living room is, your eyes will not be able to escape the contact of the massive 20ft by 44ft deck. Parting the glass doors, you walk from comfort to pure bliss as beach chairs and loungers enhance this deck’s decor. There's enough seating for over 18 guests, with space to spare. Your muscles start to relax as you sink into the soft cushions on one of the 6 loungers. As your stress starts to vanish, your eyes will become mesmerized by the dancing rays of sunshine on the ocean’s waves. Nothing could be better than this moment.

As the day starts to take form, you are ready to enjoy the fruits of this tropical paradise. The 6-foot deep pool with beach walk-in entry is calling your name. After a few short laps and some time tossing the beach ball around with your family, the 12-person spillover spa starts to flirt with you. The warm water from the spa gently massages your muscles as you stare up to the clear, blue Holden Beach sky. The spa isn’t the only great feature of this oasis, as you are welcomed by the shallow waters of the sunbathing ledge that allows guests to enjoy the comfort of the pool and the rays of the sun all at once.

After some time in the pool, or poolside, the time to eat is inevitable. No need to rush up to the kitchen when this property offers a full outdoor grill and broiler; Surf and Turf is calling your name. Along with a mini-fridge, full sink, and enough counter space to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner, the 8-person bar top is waiting to host your top-level cooking. Don’t worry about having to lug those tasty morsels anywhere else because right next to the bar are two, 4-person tables and a large outdoor sofa to host you and your guests while you wine and dine.

Just outside the gate from the pool, there is an enclosed shower and a separate bathroom. No need to worry about dripping water in the house or bringing sand inside with these accessible commodities.

We all know that it wasn’t just the pool that sold you on this vacation home; it was the private walkway to the famous sandy beaches of Holden Beach. Surf the waves of the boardwalk as you and your family stroll towards the sounds of the crashing Atlantic Ocean waves. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing that you don’t have to drive everyone to the beach; a short walk and your toes are in the soft sand.

As the sun begins to set, you take in the peaceful feeling of knowing that you do not have to deal with hotel guests or full lobbies. You only have to stroll to one of the 7 full baths, each with a uniquely designed 2-person, walk-in shower, and allow the water to wash over you.

To maximize your vacation, this haven offers a mountain of amenities. With 4K HDTVs in all the rooms, free WiFi, a commercial ice-maker, 2 dishwashers, commercial size washer and dryer, plantation shutters, beach equipment - including chairs, umbrellas, and gear cart - and much more.
