Across The Street From The Beach, Private Beach & Pool Access, Fantastic Views

Up On The Roof, located at 161 Ocean Blvd East, is part of a beach community, Seaside at Winding River. This provides private beach access, private pool and beach clubhouse, all immediately across the street from the house. Renters will be provided with access passes for use of the pool and beach, and will have access to the marina on the Inter-coastal Waterway.

The house was built in 2003 with the desirable inverted floor plan to maximize views of the ocean with a total living space of 2300 sq ft. Renovations completed 2021 included expansion of the upstairs bedroom and an additional bathroom to create a second master bedroom. Additional upgrades were done- all interior rooms were repainted and the exterior was repainted, new floors and carpeting were installed, new back staircase was added, and new windows and exterior doors installed.
First Floor: Master Bedroom- King Bed, TV, bathroom with shower. 2nd Bedroom: Queen Bed, TV, shared Bathroom. 3rd Bedroom 2 sets of Pyramid Bunks (Twin over Full), TV. Sitting area with TV, great for kids with game systems. Front and back porches, with porch swing and rocking chairs.

Large kitchen area with 4 bar stools. Dining table seats 10. Newly renovated Half Bath. 4th Bedroom with King size bed and new private full bathroom. Front and back porches provide great views of the beach and ocean - great place to hang out and enjoy a cocktail in the late afternoon. Kitchen is fully stocked with all cooking necessities. Rooftop deck: Great for views of the sunrise and sunset, a great place to hangout after the beach, or enjoy the evening under the stars. 8 lovely composite Adirondack chairs and small cocktail table.
Ground floor: Plenty of parking, private outdoor shower, and storage, Gas and Charcoal grills, corn hole and ping pong, and 8 beach chairs and many sand toys for children.Large yard is nicely landscaped.

This house is in an ideal location to walk just about everyplace on the island. Only a short walk to the restaurants on the island, as well as the free concerts, the Ice Cream shop, coffee shop, rental shop and Candy store.

Besides having the beach and ocean, golf is only minutes away to Lockwood Folly and Carolina National golf courses. Boat rentals and charters are available and some of the finest fishing in the east coast.

A Gem in Holden Beach
This is a wonderful beach property with direct OVs across the street from the beach and beach club where you have access to a pool. The owners provided prompt communication and answered questions thoroughly. There are 2 restaurants within easy walking distance and a coffee shop/beach rental place easily accessible. The house is immaculate and has every amenity you need - with a few luxury amenities as well. We appreciated the elevator especially on arrival & departure & for the larger grocery trip. We made use of the grill while enjoying some cornhole challenges. The outdoor shower was excellent & I'd say better than any indoor shower, however the indoor tiled showers were extra special as well. The main floor master shower is as large as a small walk in closet. We used 3 of the 4 bedrooms & all beds were comfortable. We did notice on the king size beds that the sheets provided through the linen service really didn't fit. Maybe the kings are maybe a California King but we ended up not being able to use the fitted sheet. The main living area provided plenty of seating with the sectional sofa & 2 chairs. The kitchen had plenty utensils, plates, and glasses. The bottom level sitting area was nice too, especially if you are traveling with multiple families. Our favorite space was the covered front porch. We also enjoyed the rooftop for late night stargazing and nightcaps. When visiting Holden Beach again we will definitely return to this lovely home.

We had a magical time while at Holden Beach. We were able to let go and have fun because it felt like we were at home with the house Up on the Roof being ready to take in a family. We did not need anything! We didn't have to leave to make trips to the store to get something to make something. We only needed to bring ourselves and clothes. We went shopping for food once when we got there. The shopping for the teens was perfect. The shells were awesome. We made many memories here. Thank you so much for sharing your house with our family. We look forward tk future stays!

Fantastic home in perfect location
Three generations of our family had a wonderful week at Up On The Roof! The house was super clean and fully outfitted in every way. The views from the main living floor of the ocean and shore were ideal. Then there was the rooftop deck which gave 360 degrees view of the whole area plus the night sky which we enjoyed numerous times. Our grandsons are 2 and 5 so the lush grassy backyard was a great place for them to run around and play when we weren't at the beach. Also provided is a full selection of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys and games that we used daily. Wendy and Marc were excellent communicators and helpful in everyway possible which made the stay all the more enjoyable. The property exceeded our expectations which were pretty high going in. We can recommend Up On The Roof without reservation!

“Up on the Roof” Is a beautiful home. It is exactly as described and even better than our expectations. It is across the street from the ocean but it feels and sounds like you’re right on the water. The owners were easy to communicate with and check in and out were seamless. My family would love to stay here again.

This house was perfect. Loved the location. View was A+. There was nothing we needed in the kitchen that was not already there. We appreciated all the beach chairs, sand toys and the outdoor shower! We were all so exhausted from the sun that we never used the ping pong table but had it rained, we likely would have used it including all the yard games provided.

Outstanding vacation home
I don't even know where to start! It's difficult to articulate fully how exceptional this vacation home is. Our entire rental experience essentially was perfect. We were a family group with four adults and three kids ranging from 3-16 years old. The owners are lovely. Friendly, available, and communicative. The house itself is incredible inside. As amazing as the listing photos make it look, they really don't even do it justice. It's spacious with a very well planned layout. It feels much larger than the actual square footage. It's immaculate. Tasteful, with modern furnishings and decor. The bathrooms are updated and beautiful. The house is full of light and has an airy and serene feeling. Every piece of furniture is comfortable and inviting. The beds were all firm and supportive. I'm a weirdo and bring my own sheets everywhere because I have texture issues with fabric, but the included linens were fresh and really nice. I actually would have used the sheets, which is saying a lot! The kitchen is enormous, beautiful, and super well appointed with everything you need for a trip. The beverage fridge is a great touch to free up main fridge space for food. There is so much usable outdoor space. There are multiple porches and seating areas, but the porch that includes a table and chairs off of the main living space and the roof top deck were particular favorites. The views of the ocean and the rest of the island are breathtaking. Under the house is a room full of really thoughtful items for outdoor use. Beach chairs, games, sand toys, beach canopy, etc. We got a lot of use out of the sand toys and cornhole. The outdoor shower is huge, clean, and super nice. There's even a mirror! Just as thoughtfully appointed as the rest of the property. The location cannot be beat. The clubhouse being situated directly across the street is awesome. With the layout of the parking lots on either side of the building, you essentially get all of the benefits of an ocean front view, plus access to a pool and place to rinse off sand. As nice as the outdoor shower is at the house, we barely used it because the rinse stations at the clubhouse work so well. You can walk to all of the fun commercial stuff on the island (restaurants, coffee shop, ice cream place, etc.), but are separate enough from it to not feel like you're in a commercial area. If I could give the property six stars, I would. All in all, I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Holden Beach.

Perfect family getaway and even better owners
Our vacation was eventful to say the least. The first 24 hours were spent settling in to the perfect house for our family (grandparents, two couples and kids) with plenty of space for all including multiple outdoor spaces, a huge (rare) backyard for kids to play in safely, and even a spare den for anyone who needed a break from the crowd. We were steps away from the beach and within walking distance of the local coffee shop, restaurants, and fishing on the intercoastal. It was perfect. We spent the next day enjoying the beach, grilled burgers and hot dogs for a big family dinner, and sat down to enjoy some ice cream while we watched a typical summer thunderstorm roll in from the ocean. And then chaos hit. The house is struck by lightning, power and AC went out, and this mama was mildly panicked the place was on fire. (It wasn't!) Within minutes fire trucks showed up and we had the owners on the phone who immediately jumped into action to make sure everything was taken care of. Mark and Wendy spent the next 3 days going out of their way to make sure our vacation wasn't disrupted, getting the AC back on and ensuring the house was cleared by the electricians. Despite the craziness, it still ended up being everything we hope it would be and before we even pulled out of the driveway to head home we had decided to come back next year!
