We have two houses and we have a few open Summer dates. Hold-on-Beach is open July 28-31, August 11-19 or August 23-31.  Pelican Watch (#1471) with private heated (optional) pool is the other house and is open for two 5-night stays *July 21-26 and July 30-August 4, then a 3-night, August 28-31. They are both on the lightly developed East End of Holden Beach.

Peak summer at Hold-on-Beach booked much quicker than normal with only ONE peak full week open, August 11-19, then Just-PastPeak reduced rates.Then the just-past-peak rates drop nicely..We have an open 3-night (July 28-31) for the quick weekday getaway. Book now while you some choices.. Hold-on-Beach is still located on a wonderful section of the East End of Holden Beach. The beach strand got a nice renourishment in 2017 and over the winter Hold-on-Beach got exterior trim repairs /replacement and two fresh coats of paint.

Rentals are available as we had only minor "nuisance" damage from Hurricane Florence. We really say "HOLD-ON-Beach! during hurricane season. August and September 2018 saw hree loggerhead sea turtle nests rhatch out more than 350 sea turtles within a half block of Hold-on-Beach. This is exciting as we didn't have any nests in our area in 2017 and are thankful the nests hatched out before these areas of beach could have been inundated by water from Hurricane Florence.

A major beach renourishment project was completed in 2017 giving us a beautiful broad beach.  Then we were very fortunate through the 2018 hurricane season which did heart-breaking damage to some other NC communities. Hold-on-Beach and Pelican Watch (CarolinaRentals #1471) are both ready for renters.
