Shell Haven-Four Decks, Views, Pet friendly, Walk to beach!

Experience the ultimate beach getaway at this charming coastal retreat in Holden Beach, NC -- with FOUR decks, amazing views, and less than 2mins to the beach...it doesn't get any better!

Relax on one of the balconies or ground-level patio and take in the stunning ocean and water views. Entertainment options abound with Roku streaming and board games inside. For outdoor enthusiasts, golf is nearby, and the beach is just a short walk away!

The home is on stilts and you will enter the home on the second floor where the main living space is. You will pass through the first of four decks that has some seating and a gate to keep kids and pets in!

Entertainment and family was the focus when setting this up! You have an open floorplan with plenty of seating and dining options. The kitchen has all you will need and a large peninsula with bar seating. The dining table can fit everyone for a meal or set up for a game night! Right past the half bath, this all opens up to the living area that has a huge sectional couch, SmartTV, and chair so everyone has space to kick back and relax after a long day on the beach!

Through the living room you will find an oversized back deck that is great year round! It has a dining and seating area and great views out back to a natural area before the intracoastal. It is spacious and partial covered so you can enjoy it with the entire crew!

As you make your way upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms, all with their own SmartTVs. Also on this floor you have two more decks! One that has some cool hammock chairs and the other with the BEST view -overlooking the natural area to the intracoastal! The pimary suite has a King bed and ensuite with a large walk-in shower. One of the other bedrooms host a Queen bed, while the other has a bunk with a Full and Twin. These secondary bedrooms share another full bath on that hall.

On the ground floor the experience continues...you can walk 2mins over to the beach or just enjoy the home! We have a grill, picnic table, patio, outdoor shower, lawn games, and more!! You can set up and enjoy a meal down there or just hang out while the family or pets run around.

Come and stay with us at Shell Haven!!

Overall our stay was good. Before the next guest arrive you may want to consider spraying for cockroaches, they were very big and great in number. The house was surface clean but may be in need of a deeper cleaning. The location is terrific and our 83 year old parents loved the views on all the decks. Thanks
