Welcome to your new favorite vacation spot on the handsome marsh of Holden Beach. Crawdaddys freshly entered the rental market and the owners have purchased all new couches, beds, a dining room table that seats 10, outdoor furnishings (Carolina Casual & Polywood), and much more. Located on Ocean Blvd, you have the best of both worlds with partial ocean vistas out front and the serenity of the natural marsh in the back.

The beach access is conveniently located just east of the home between 567 OBW and 569 OBW, less than a 5-min. walk. A second full-size refrigerator is located on the ground level for your beach drinks, grille foods or to store your newly caught fish. Also extremely convenient, the Holden Beach General Store and Salt Peddler Resort Wear (including Ice Cream) are an painless 12-min. walk (.06 mile) where you can pick up that milk you just ran out of, a bathing suit, toy, etc.

Savor peaceful time on the screened back deck while watching the herons in the marsh or your morning coffee in the rockers on the covered front deck with vistas of, and breezes from, the shining Atlantic Ocean. Your outdoor options continue with the upstairs uncovered back deck where you can sip beverages while the sun sets at the pub-style table or relax in the loungers or porch swing. For the outdoor cooking enthusiast, a brand new Challenger Designs grille cabinet with a Napoleon piped gas (no running out of gas at this home) grille, along with dining for 10, is located under the home and positioned to appreciate all that this prime location has to offer.

The vistas do not stop outside! Inside, you will find an inverted floor plan and tons of windows and natural light throughout. The roomy living room with a game table, kitchen, and dining areas features delightful vistas from every angle to soak in the beauty of Holden Beach. The living room Intelligent TV also has cable and a Sony sound bar for your listening enjoyment. With 4 bedrooms (all also with Intelligent TVs & cable) to sleep 10 and 3.5 bathrooms (primary shower is a step in, 30” wide with a grab bar), this home has it all.

The home provides a 3-story residential passenger elevator (new in 2023) to make loading and unloading a breeze! No need to tote groceries and suitcases up the stairs. The elevator is wide enough (24.5”) for a standard rollator, which is a blessing for many grandparents. Please read and follow all posted rules. There is a sizable outside shower with hot and cold water. Parking onsite for 5 cars. New this year an EV charger was installed for your electric car. The fireplace shown in the photos is not operable.

All bathrooms include one roll of toilet paper, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, makeup wipes, and bar soap. Your beds are made with fresh linens and a lightweight blanket, so you can jump right into making memories rather than making beds!

Tips and Tricks to get the best Holden Beach vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Book your Carolina Beach rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Carolina Beach rental:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Hobbs Realty - \"Crawdaddy's\" offers the best of both the marsh and ocean views, perfect for a relaxing vacation. has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, contact the host before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
