We have two houses and we have a few open late FALL dates. Hold-on-Beach is open November 3rd to New Years.  Pelican Watch (#1471) with private heated (optional) pool is the other house and is open Oct 27-Nov 1, then November 4>>Spring 2020. 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 full summer week opeen in Just-PastPeak with reduced rates.Then the just-past-peak rates drop nicely... 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.
