About Property

Discover the ultimate coastal escape at Cake by the Ocean, a stunning oceanfront retreat in Holden Beach, North Carolina. This luxurious home perfectly blends coastal comfort, privacy, and convenience, offering an effortless way for families and friends to relax, reconnect, and soak in the beauty of the Carolina coast.

Designed for groups, the home features a spacious layout with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, accommodating up to 8 guests. Sleeping arrangements consist of four private king suites, each equipped with high-end Sterns & Foster beds. Two primary suites face the ocean and feature ensuite bathrooms with double vanities and large walk-in showers. The remaining two bedrooms face the street and offer ensuite bathrooms with single vanities and tub/shower combos. Every suite is rounded out with smart TVs, ceiling fans, and cozy plush linens and pillows.

The heart of the home is a fabulous open kitchen, well-appointed with a full-size fridge freezer, dishwasher, and a variety of high-quality appliances including a Keurig espresso maker, air fryer, and Ninja blender. This space flows into a family room featuring a cozy leather sectional and a 50" smart TV. For practical needs, a dedicated laundry/entry room provides a full-size steam LG washer/dryer and a second full-size fridge/freezer.

Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. Step onto the extra-large 10 x 40 covered porch with privacy walls, offering a secluded spot to relax on a cozy outdoor sectional or enjoy a meal at the large dining table. For entertainment, the porch features table tennis and life-size Connect Four. Just beyond is a welcoming firepit area and a Blackstone Grill for outdoor cooking, all located just steps from the sand and surf.

Location & Neighborhood: Situated directly on the beachfront in Holden Beach, this retreat provides immediate access to the ocean. Guests can enjoy the serenity of the Carolina coast with the beach just steps from the porch, making it an ideal spot for sunrise coffee or evening walks under the stars.
