Three Gulls & A Buoy is located at beautiful Holden Beach between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach. National Geographic Traveler Magazine called Holden Beach one of the best family beaches in the country! Our beach is unique and special. Here, you can view both sunrises and sunsets on the Atlantic Ocean. We are also famous for shark's teeth & Sea Biscuits, a beautiful shell that frequently washes up on our beach. We have even provided sand sifters and buckets to use for collecting.
Our home is a 5 minute walk to the pier and has a General Store and ice cream shop just across the street. Haley’s Ice Cream is a great place to enjoy a cold treat while watching the waves.
With ocean views and a beautiful, active marsh in the backyard, this home is a great place to relax. There is a large picnic table and plenty of other seating downstairs. We also offer picnic baskets and plenty of non-breakable dishes to make preparing a picnic a breeze.
We have lots and books, games, puzzles and toys to enjoy. You can’t beat this kitchen! You won’t find one better stocked. From air-frying to cupcakes- we’ve got you covered. If you’d rather eat out, we’ve tried everything and will leave you a list with our recommendations.
Consider enjoying your morning coffee on the back covered porch overlooking the marsh or downstairs on the comfy outdoor sofa. We’ve provided a variety of coffees and teas for you to try. We will also leave you a list of coffee and sweet shops with our recommendations.
With the Atlantic Ocean to lull you to sleep, you’ll find no better spot than our luxurious beds, carefully designed for comfort.
Our family loves the North Carolina coastline. We are five-generation North Carolinians who have grown up exploring our beautiful beaches, each with its own style. We want to share our love of all things sandy and salty with you and hope you feel at home away from home from arrival to departure.
