About this house rental
Situated in Holden Beach, this charming house for R 78,792 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Welcome to Southern Charm. ($107-356/room/night/7 nights + fees) *See below for important booking requirements* ENJOY THE NEW UPDATES!! Are you looking for your own island escape? Do you long to feel those balmy evening ocean breezes? Needs space for the whole family? If so, experience Southern Charm Beach Style! You will be interacting directly with the owner of the house! Located at 1355 Ocean Blvd. West. A large beach house rental to fit the whole family. A unique outdoor design underneath the house that integrates the large in-ground pool (32'x14'), Tiki bar, and under the house, covering you if any weather problems or just want shade. It is one of the largest beachfront rentals on the east coast. A private estate in a gated community, it is located on a twenty-two acre wildlife preserve at the tip of the island. Here, you can converse with nature, watch deer, fox, and rabbits in their natural habitat, all the while enjoying a spectacular three hundred and sixty degree view of the beach and the Shallotte inlet. You can even see as far as Ocean Isle Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway. A view nothing like you have seen before at the beach. (Cant find your dates? I also own: Southern Grace (Listing #4038010) and Southern Bliss (Listing #7109460). The house itself is, for lack of a better word, spectacular. It will sleep up to 50 guests in one of its 16 large, well-appointed bedrooms (each has its own bathroom). It features two oversized suites along with 5 other bedrooms equipped with king size beds. There are seven bedrooms furnished with both a combination of queen beds as well as queen and single configurations. Let the kids enjoy their midnight pillow fights in one of the two bunk rooms, outfitted with both double and triple bunk beds. One bedroom is also HANDICAP accessible with a handicap bathroom. The house’s 17 bathrooms guarantee that no one ever has to wait before they grab their shower. In addition, the convenient elevator gives those tired knees a rest from all that beach volleyball. There are two huge living spaces on each floor plus a secondary living room on the first floor. You’ll find yourself spending lots of time in the breathtaking over-sized great room. It boasts windows on three sides of the house that serve to bring the outside in. There’s also a separate movie/game room featuring a large HDTV, game table and foosball table. Speaking of TV’s, you’ll think that you are in Command Central. There are a total of 18 televisions throughout the house. These are Roku TVs so bring your logins or watch their free content. If you want to surf the internet, or perhaps just catch up on a little late night work, a blazing 500 Mbps of WI-FI Mesh access is available. The upstairs movie/game room has a kitchenette (sink, microwave, drink refrigerator) and is a great hangout for the kids or to hold a breakout session with your church or club members. But when it’s time to really showcase your culinary skills preparing all that freshly caught seafood, you’re going to want to pull out all the stops and put the extra-large kitchen to work. The three refrigerators units keep everything fresh and cool while the 10-burner cooktop, 3 ovens and 3 microwaves let you try out your latest recipes. You can bask in the sunshine beside the large private pool, which can be heated when those nights get chilly (extra fee). With the beach having an east/west orientation, you get to see the sunrise and sunset and not loose the sun at the pool in the afternoon. When you’re tired of working on that tan, you can pull your chair over to the covered area on the large pool deck. This will get you out of the sun but still allow you to keep an eye on the kids in the pool. After the sun goes down, it’s time to grab a drink at the Tiki Bar. Or challenge someone to a game of corn hole, basketball (bring your ball), ring toss, etc. This area is well designed for large group gatherings and the presence of two gas grills make food preparation easy for any type of event. There are two full service laundry rooms equipped with washers and dryers, to make it easy to get all that sand out of your swimsuits, and if you’re worried about having too many on your guest list, there’s parking available for up to 24 cars. Tired of those reverse floor plans with all the walking up and down? Have the common area integrated with the outside/pool area for better outside use and flow. Kitchen and great room on the elevated first floor with deck stairs to pool. As you sit and relax, watching the sand and surf, from one of the double level decks on each side of the house, you see why Holden Beach has been nationally recognized as one of the premier “Family Beaches in the USA.” You will also make a mental note to return and experience ‘Southern Charm’ as often as you can. Just right for your family vacation, reunion, church retreat or event. All this for less than what a nice hotel would charge on a per room, per night basis! With the 8200 s.f. of space, private pool, and ocean right in front of you thrown in! Whether you need a 13, 14 or 15 bedrooms or more, ‘Southern Charm’ has it all. *IMPORTANT check-in/out requirements and pricing*: *To book, 40% down (plus fees and taxes). Final payment 90 days from arrival. *Sunday to Sunday rental (7-night minimum) during summer season (great so you don't hit the typical Saturday rental turnover traffic). Other check-in days okay outside of the summer. *To see accurate rates, search on Sunday to Sunday. Sunday to Thursday or Thursday to Sunday (or Friday to Monday Mem/Labor Day weekends-Xmas/New Years varies). Those are the only days you can book. I can custom adjust your dates, non summer, from there but those days of the week are the only ones that show the correct pricing. Prices accurate to Dec. 2025 (ask about pricing beyond that). *Special rates for Church groups November through March. *Weddings are welcome! $1,000 event fee. *We highly encourage you to buy trip insurance in case your plans change. Large groups plan far in advance to get on everyone’s schedule. And with so many people, things can change or hurricane’s can come. We have little ability to re-rent for you to get your money back for any last minute changes so best to purchase trip insurance. It costs 7% for standard insurance or 10.8% for Cancel For Any Reason insurance (covers you for everything as you do not need a reason). After you book I can send a link to these options. Cant find your dates? I also own: Southern Grace (Listing #4038010) and Southern Bliss (Listing #7109460)

Our extended family of 20 (17 adults and 3kids) were very comfortable in this house. There are so many rooms with king beds that every couple had one! This is rare and much appreciated. The owners were very helpful and easy to communicate with. We would definitely come back! We were here for Thanksgiving and we would enjoy it even more when the warm weather returns.

This house was perfect - housed all 34 members of our family so that we could all be together for our beach reunion. The beach was pristine, so nice to have a pool and nice hangout area with the tiki bar. We had a ball.

Nearly 30 of our family, ages 18 mos to 65, spent a glorious week at Southern Charm on Holden Beach. We lounged and swam in the pool and ocean, played corn hole, bocce on the beach, golfed, tossed footballs, flew kites, played cards, watched movies, cooked and ate together in the spacious kitchen and dining area, BBQ'd, went crabbing at night and watched some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets imaginable.
The setting was perfect, everyone had their own family spaces and the instructions and support of our host were flawless.
What more could you ask for (besides to do it again!)?
Highly recommended. Thanks, Greg!

This house was a wonderful vacation home for our extended family. We had 40 people come in for the week. It was such a bonus that every bedroom had a bathroom attached to it. The elevator was much needed for the packing and unpacking process and also for my parents who are in their 80s. The house was well stocked. We enjoyed the different options for gathering places.

Gorgeous house with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms for large family gatherings! Beautiful ocean views, relaxing pool, and the Beach at your fingertips! Great communication with the host and the elevator was a bonus for unloading / loading / avoiding stairs / etc! We would love to come back!

Floor plan of the house is great and met expectations for a large group from young to old. The house has some wear and tear vs the photos in the listing which appear to be from a few years ago.

This house was ideal for a writing retreat, with plenty of space and beautiful views. The kitchen was well-equipped for our 15 guests and the entire house was clean and in great condition. Also, the host was very attentive and responsive. I'd highly recommend this house for large groups.

Our extended family rented Southern Charm for our annual summer vacation and had the best week we could have hoped for! The house is wonderful and just as advertised - even better in several respects. The house is very spacious and well appointed. Every bedroom has its own bathroom which is a huge and unusual bonus. The main living area and kitchen are very welcoming with lots of space for cooking and enjoying meals and hang out time for the whole family. The pool was perfect and surprisingly large in comparison to nearby homes. The view from the deck over the gorgeous dunes was picture perfect and we were treated with amazing sunsets every evening.
And now for the beach - I cannot say enough good things about this very private spot on Holden. Even on Labor Day weekend when other stretches of beach were crowded, this little slice of heaven was blissfully quiet. We loved walking and running on the wide, flat beach and investigating the far end of Holden.
Although we didn’t intend it when we initially rented Southern Charm, we ended up having a family wedding on the beach while there and the owner Greg could not have been more accommodating and helpful. The wedding and reception by the pool were absolutely perfect with lots of local flare. It was the perfect cap to a perfect week that we will never forget. We are already counting the days until we return next summer!

We just returned from a wonderful stay at Southern Charm - the house was perfect for our very large extended family - everything was as promised, and Greg was immediately responsive throughout the process and our stay. Setting is just beautiful. We cannot wait to return!

There was plenty of room for everyone. 22 adults and 12 children. The pool was very nice and a big hit. We had plenty of activities to do. The last night we spotted a large loggerhead turtle laying eggs on the beach. It was awesome!

Another Great Family Reunion at Southern Charm
4 generations of my family stayed at Southern Charm in Holden Beach NC in the week leading up to the Fourth of July. It was the third time we have held a reunion at this wonderful beach house. Situated in a private community at the west end of Holden beach, this house had everything a family of 46 (1 year to 93 years) could want. The house was very clean when we arrived. We ate all of our meals at the house and the kitchen and associated appliances were great support for this size group. There was plenty of seating for everyone at every meal. NC in the summer is hot and humid and the large pool was a huge hit with the family, especially the children. There is a very nice private walkway to the beach and a wonderful stretch of sand where the kids and adults can safely play. The only blemish (and not the fault of the owner) during the week was when workers at the adjoining house cut the cable supplying internet to Southern Charm. The owner, Greg, responded immediately, facilitating a quick response by the local utility and internet was restored in a matter of hours, not days. There aren't many beach houses the size of Southern Charm and if it's important to have your group together in one place, at the ocean, then check out Southern Charm.

Outstanding beachfront propert
Over 30 family members gathered for Reunion week and all fit comfortably in this large home. Plenty of room for cooking and eating in. Beach is outstanding white sand and very private - only handful of neighbors occasionally pass by. Highly recommend this excellent property!

Worth It!
We had our wedding here and it was EXACTLY the wedding we wanted. Our guests loved the house, and the kids especially loved the pool, and working with Greg was really easy. He was extremely helpful and responsive to all of my questions. The house was very comfortable for our 35 guests and the location (although far from most amenities) means that our May sunset wedding was private. Yes, it’s expensive, but you can host a lot of people! My only challenge is that the check out time is tough when you have a large group including lots of kids to wrangle.

Absolutely loved the house and the amazing beach! Had a few minor issues but Greg was a rock star and got them taken care of immediately. Would definitely recommend this location and hope to be back soon!

Beautiful home and great location!
The house was awesome. Plenty of space for friends and family to all stay comfortably. Really liked that it had its own personal boardwalk straight to the beach. Also the property managers were real easy to work with as well and responded quickly if we ever reached out to them. Overall was very pleased with our stay and highly recommend.

Amazing house can hold a company
We stayed at Southern Charm for our company retreat with a group of 30 people, and with 16 bedrooms the house had no problem fitting everyone. Add to that the multiple living areas for people to gather, and it was pretty much perfect. Greg is very responsive, so never had a question we coudn't get answered quickly.
A few things that would be worth knowing about this house:
1. The kitchen is STOCKED with supplies. We brought some of our own equipment to be safe, and there was just no need. Just about anything we could dream up a need for was found in one or another of the many cabinets.
2. House is clean and well decorated. Beds were very comfortable and linens are quality. Everyone we invited was very impressed.
3. Walk to the beach is a hike. Just be sure you have everything you need as you go. Worst case is you get your exercise going back and forth.
4. Pool and Tiki bar are awesome. Our guests spent a LOT of time at both and had great fun setting up and using the bar.
5. Neighborhood is pretty strict about noise, so if you are planning live music, that can be problematic. We had a guitar player and had to have him turn it way down to avoid issues. That said, Greg worked with us and the neighborhood and all was well. And this was my fault for not taking the "no loud party" reminders to heart. They did warn me!
Would definitely return, but as it is already booked for next year we'll be moving to its sister house, Southern Grace. Can't wait to see how that one stacks up to the original.

Visited Southern Charm with three other families. Total of 8 adults and 12 kids. This place was perfect. Plenty of space. We had multiple empty bedrooms and could have accommodated at least 2 more families. The kids loved the pool. Adults loved the back deck for drinks and conversation after the kids were asleep. Very private beach. Overall an amazing property. Highly recommend.

Amazing week in Holden Beach
We rented the Southern Charm beach house for our 40 person wedding, and can’t say enough great things about it! Tons of space, beautiful location, and really clear instructions from Greg. Our entire family was blown away with how comfortable our stay was. I would highly recommend this house for a small wedding or a large party!
We had a couple small plumbing issues, but they were resolved quickly. Overall a really great week on a beautiful beach!

Wedding Venue
My Husband and I were originally supposed to be married at the Grove Park Inn. Due to the Pandemic we had to make changes to our wedding at the very last minute. One of our friends told us about the Southern Charm House in Holden Beach. We had never been to Holden Beach however we thought it would be a great idea for a back up plan. Our wedding was this past weekend and it was perfect!!! In our eyes it was actually better than the Grove Park Inn. The house slept our entire wedding party plus family perfectly. The pictures on VRBO do not do the house justice. It was absolutely gorgeous and our wedding was everything we wanted and then some. The owner was amazing to work with and very quick with his responses. He even assisted with finding a caterer and officiant. We planned our wedding in less than 90 days and it was absolutely perfect. I highly highly recommend.

We booked this property a year in advance. When the pandemic hit, we hoped the owner would follow VRBO recommendations and allow us to flex to another week. He would not unless the beach was closed. A hurricane came and the entire island was closed except for the last 15 hours of our 1 week rental despite the hurricane passing 5 days earlier. His contract has a hurricane clause so we could get a new week if the beaches were closed for a pandemic but not for raw sewage in the ocean and no electricity. A 30K loss. Dont ask this owner to work with you in any way, He is only and all about the $$

September Wedding at Holden
We had an amazing September wedding in this house. We slept 34 people extremely comfortably, and kids got their own bunk bed rooms to romp around in.
Kitchen fit/fed everyone, pool did the reception just fine, beach was amazing!
Only issue was some biting flies and mosquitoes; but the owner left the number for a company to call and took them less than 48 hours to get out.

Perfect wedding at Southern Charm
Our 30 guests were overwhelmed by the beauty of the property and Holden Beach. The 180 degree ocean vista with both sunrises and sunsets was stunning. Owner Greg went above and beyond to assure that we had a memorable 5 days - after accommodating us when Hurricane Dorian struck the island on our initial reservation dates. He could not have been nicer. The house is stunning and practical for large groups.

Amazing Wedding Week
We stayed here the week of our wedding with 50 family members and friends. We could not have asked for a better week! The beach is beautiful and very private. The pool was the perfect place to relax and hang out. It rained one day for most of the day, yet we were able to be outside underneath the house and we played lots of basketball and cornhole.
Everyone loved that they had their own bathroom in their bedroom and that there were multiple living rooms so you could always find a quite place to unwind. Having 2 washers and dryers was also a big plus. The 3 refrigerators and well stocked kitchen made it easy to make dinners each night for the whole group. The 4 coffee makers allowed everyone their caffeine fix each morning without having to wait for a new pot to brew. We would highly recommend Southern Charm and are planning on coming back next summer! Thanks Greg for the quick responses to all the questions we had and helping to arrange the extra day we stayed!!

Amazing Beachfront Property
Overall we cannot say enough good things about this home. It was everything that was advertised and more. We had a reunion with 29 people from RI to AZ and from age 3 to age 90 and everyone was so impressed with the accommodations. We did have one small snafu with the elevator, but Greg worked as best he could to resolve it and we were able to get that resolved. Other than that, everything was perfect. We were there the week before Memorial Day which seemed to be a perfect time since many of the other homes were not rented yet (pre-season we guess) and therefore we essentially had a private beach. And, we were extremely fortunate with great weather all week. The best part of the beach was how sandy it was. There were very few rocks/shells/seaweed to contend with and the water was also very shallow in that area allowing you to walk comfortably into the water for a good distance. The main deck was a favorite gathering spot most days with an outstanding views, a nice breeze and shade. Those who wanted a little more sun enjoyed the pool area. All in all we had a fabulous week and were more than satisfied with the home and the owner. This place is highly recommended for large gatherings!

THE perfect extended family vacation house with TH
This house is incredible. Four generations of family came together for a fantastic week. There’s plenty of room for everybody; huge open room with kitchen for everybody and lots of nooks for people who might need a quiet moment every now and then. Every bedroom is nicely decorated with it’s own bathroom.
The view is the most amazing Atlantic coast view I’ve ever seen. The location is a few houses from the end of the island where Intercoastal meets Atlantic. That’s a beautiful place to be with lots of sea life (dolphins, crabs, birds galore) and two kinds of beaches to walk. There’s a huge deck to catch that view with family + a couple of ocean view decks on the top floor. Not to mention the large decks overlooking the Intercoastal.
I freelance so while I’d like to unplug for a week with the family it isn’t possible. Lots of vacation rentals offer wifi which is crippled when everyone connects. Southern Charm’s wifi was always on and always super fast meaning I could work quickly and head back to the amazing pool which we all enjoyed. We found everything we needed in the kitchen; great kitchen for cooking for lots of people.
I can’t recommend this rental enough. And the owners were perfect to work with - friendly, responsive, I couldn’t ask for more.
