Holden Beach is a barrier-island town in Brunswick County, one of the South Brunswick Islands, stretched between the Lockwood Folly and Shallotte inlets with the Atlantic Ocean on its south shore and the Intracoastal Waterway on the north. A high-rise bridge connects the island to the mainland near Supply. It's long been known as a quiet, family beach — clean sand, few high-rises, and a laid-back pace that draws returning vacationers and second-home owners year after year.
The market runs from classic raised beach cottages to oceanfront homes, canal houses with docks, and soundside properties, most owned as vacation rentals or second homes. Buyers weigh ocean versus canal or soundfront location, rental income, and the flood and insurance factors that come with island property.
To focus your search, start with new construction or waterfront homes, then reach out for help comparing the island's east and west ends, canal versus oceanfront, and rental potential.
