Torn down to the frame and completely rebuilt, this Holden Beach charmer is ready to be your home away from home! Located right along the water, the sand and surf are mere steps from the house, giving you unparalleled beach access. Even better is the fact that scenic parks, charters, a water park, golf courses, and numerous local restaurants to sample are only a short drive away. Back at your oceanfront retreat, step through the door to be greeted by a completely remodeled house with new appliances, an updated kitchen and bathrooms, and a new mini-split system to ensure everyone remains cool while here. Unwind comfortably in the living area watching something on TV or gaze outside at the sparkling water nearby. The well-equipped kitchen is sure to please the group chef and has everything needed to make small snacks, entire meals, and everything else in between. Indulge together at the table before heading out to the deck to lounge comfortably as the crisp North Carolina air brushes against your face and the sun sets. After exciting days of exploration and frolicking in the sand, know all of the bedrooms will provide a serene night's rest. Additional conveniences include a washer/dryer, free WiFi, and three of the bedrooms having their own TVs for private viewing.

We really liked this house. It has a nice layout that easily accomodated our party of 5. It is an easy walk to the beach and a great view from the poarch. I would recommend taking a mattress topper for the bed and do not rely on the fenced area for your dog.

Loved the location, the amount of rooms, and the underneath space. The view is incredible. Quiet end of the Main Street so not too much traffic. Only complaints are: some dog hair leftover on the floor from previously renters, and two Of the rooms had very very loud squeaky creaky beds. Otherwise incredible cleanliness and location!

My family has been going to Holden Beach since the 50's and we were delighted by this home for our small group. The home was very clean when we arrived and had a gorgeous view of the ocean on east part of the island.

The Austin Cottage is a perfect getaway destination! Lovely porch, dog-friendly yard, and steps away to the beach. The location is quiet and relaxing. I will definitely revisit this home.

We rented this house years ago when my oldest son was a baby. 20+ years later and its like taking a step back in time. Everything is almost the same. Simple family life.(Just ignore the WIFI and TV and Dishwasher and microwave) Screened in porch is my favorite with the rocking chairs. Our 4th time being in this house and hopefully we will be able to come again. We love Austin Cottage
