Footsteps from the wide beach and rolling waves, you and your family (including the 4 legged ones) will create memories on this peaceful, relaxing and safe beach. Only a 5 minute stroll down the beach and you'll be grabbing a bite to eat or a cold drink at one of the local restaurants, a slushy at Sunset Slush or picking up some saltwater taffy at the local candy shop. For maximum relaxation time you'll be rocking away on the cozy, large back porch and enjoying a sunrise or sunset view (from late fall to early spring you will enjoy both sunrises AND sunsets from the back porch on the same day!). Welcome to Life is Shore-t!
Many books, games, and puzzles await in the living area with plenty of space for everyone to spread out. A well-equipped kitchen is ready for you to make a family meal that can be enjoyed in the spacious dining room or at the outdoor picnic table. An large outdoor shower provides plenty of space to relax and cleanse after a long day at the beach. If some time away from the beach is in order, stretch your legs at the Holden Beach family park, basketball court and children's outdoor splash area, a 5 minute walk away. High speed (1 Gig internet) & fiber to the home.
Home is equipped with a whole home air cleaner & 3M clean living anti-allergen active carbon filter.

I’ve been staying at this beach house these past ten years, and we’re so happy it was back on the rental market. The weather for the first week of November was mild & sunny. The house was a home for sure. Everyone had a kicked back vacation including our fur babies. We will be back again soon. Many thanks.

Very welcoming beach house directly on the ocean affords unlimited fun. We loved the rustic feel of an old school beach house with an open kitchen and family room overlooking the beach. One of our favorite features was the covered deck with oversized Adirondack rockers and picnic table. We ate all our meals outside and had the best cocktail hours. We also traveled with our two corgis who enjoyed great walks and surf, they are allowed on the beach before 9 am and after 5 pm during the high season. Can't wait to return.

This was our first visit to Holden Beach, and we are officially in love! A BIG part of that reason is Kym & Joel's lovely home. The pictures are not deceiving, the house is right on the ocean, just (literal) steps and your toes are in the sand. The location is ideal - walking distance to several restaurants, coffee shop, slushie and ice cream stands, even the park/full basketball court is a very easy walk from the house! I loved that my kids could run onto the beach and bump the volleyball around or play in the sand at the same time that I could be fixing lunch, and still be able to see and hear them from the kitchen. The house is very comfortable and quiet - I usually struggle to get comfortable in rental houses because I'm picky about furniture. This house has very comfortable and solid furniture! I underestimated how much my kids would love the outdoor showers under the house, so next time I would bring an extra caddy of soap, shampoo, etc to leave in the outdoor showers. Do not hesitate to stay here, the location is amazing, the beaches are so beautiful and perfect for shell hunting. The Scoop was our favorite place to order food from (call ahead, as their is usually a bit of a wait if you order from the counter), and Fantasy Isle has HUGE scoops of yummy ice cream and super friendly service.

This was our second year staying at Life is Shore-T and we enjoyed it just as much this year as we did last year. The kids love being able to run down to the beach and the house has everything you need to relax. We also love being able to bring our dog, who is also a big fan of the beach!

This is such a wonderful family spot! Beautiful view of the beach, every kitchen amenity you can think of, comfortable beds, and an ideal location near restaurants. We also enjoyed watching the neighborhood fox on his morning strolls and visiting the turtle watch crew each night on the beach to see if the nest hatched yet.
