Holden Beach Homes for Sale

Discover Family-Friendly Island Properties & Waterfront Homes in Holden Beach NC

Welcome to Holden Beach, NC – The Family-Friendly Gem of the Brunswick Islands

Holden Beach homes for sale offer the ultimate in relaxed island living on one of North Carolina’s most family-oriented barrier islands. Known for its pristine, uncrowded sands, no high-rises, and classic beach town vibe, Holden Beach is a top choice for retirees and second-home buyers seeking oceanfront properties, canal homes, and easy boating access. The island’s Holden Beach Marina on the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) provides slips, fuel, and supplies for boaters, while the beach itself boasts public accesses every block. With its south-facing shores for gentle waves and sunrises/sunsets, Holden Beach delivers that authentic, low-key North Carolina coastal lifestyle—perfect for those escaping busier spots like Myrtle Beach.

History and Community of Holden Beach

Originally settled in the 1750s as a fishing village, Holden Beach was developed in the mid-20th century by the Holden family, who donated land for public use to preserve its family-friendly ethos. Incorporated in 1969, the island has a year-round population of around 1,000 (median age ~65—ideal for active retirees), swelling to 15,000+ in summer with vacationers. Famous for its “no commercial development” policy (no hotels, just rentals and homes), Holden Beach earned the title “one of America’s best family beaches” from National Geographic Traveler. Community events like the Festival by the Sea (annual arts/music/crafts) and Turtle Watch programs highlight its conservation focus.

A tourist favorite to visit is The Holden Beach Pier – a 900-foot fishing pier with ocean views, perfect for strolling, fishing, and sunsets.

Community:

Population: ~1,000 year-round
Proximity: 15 minutes to Shallotte shopping (Hobby Lobby, Ulta, Starbucks, Marshalls), 20 minutes to Calabash seafood, 45 minutes to Myrtle Beach SC (entertainment, airport MYR), 50 minutes to Wilmington NC (historic downtown, airport ILM, major healthcare like Novant Health). Close to Oak Island (10 min) and state parks like Lockwoods Folly.

Life in Holden Beach: Island Relaxation and Family Fun

Life in Holden Beach centers on the beach—7 miles of soft sands with public accesses, turtle nesting areas, and rules like no dogs or alcohol to keep it family-friendly. Boaters love the Holden Beach Marina on the ICW side, offering 50+ slips, fuel dock, bait shop, and easy ocean access via the inlet. Golfers hit nearby courses like Lockwood Folly or Sea Trail (10–15 min). The island’s top subdivisions include: Seascape (gated luxury with marina access, custom waterfront homes ~$800K–$1.5M+), Harbor Acres (canal-front properties with private docks, ideal for boating families ~$600K–$1M), and Holden Beach West (gated west-end exclusivity with ocean/ICW views ~$700K–$1.2M). Enjoy mild weather (winter highs ~60°F, summer ~85°F), low crime, and events like the Bridge Fest concert series or Christmas flotilla. It’s peaceful yet convenient—no traffic lights on the island—for retirees wanting walks, biking, fishing, kayaking, and shelling without the hustle.

Taxes (Very Retiree-Friendly): Brunswick County rate: 34.20 cents per $100 valuation. Holden Beach town adds approximately 11 cents per $100 (combined ~45.20 cents)—significantly lower than northern states, making island living more affordable.

Other Fun Facts: Holden Beach is a sea turtle sanctuary with volunteer patrols; it’s one of the few NC islands with a swing bridge (adding charm); and the annual Festival by the Sea draws crowds for crafts, music, and rides. The island’s strict building codes preserve its natural beauty, with no structures taller than three stories.

Holden Beach Real Estate Market

The Holden Beach real estate market is strong and premium, with a median home price of ~$800K–$1.2M (late 2025 data), driven by island scarcity and demand for oceanfront and canal properties. Oceanfront homes often range $1M–$2.5M+, while canal or second-row start ~$600K–$1M. Inventory is low, with quick sales for well-maintained rentals or lots—popular for family vacation homes or retirement relocations from up north. Subdivisions like Seascape and Harbor Acres see high interest for boating access, making Holden Beach one of Brunswick County’s most desirable islands for long-term value.
