About this property

On Holden Beach Island

Our home is 3 BR/2B beach cottage that is a block from the beach. We have private beach access because we own property on the island. There are two accesses. Walk two blocks and you are touching your toes in the sand of Holden Beach. The beach is never crowded, even during holidays. Our home is 4/10th of a mile from all the main restaurants, a basketball court, and public park facilities.

The Town of Holden Beach is now charging a parking fee for all public parking spaces. Stay at our house and you don't need to pay for parking. It is less than half a mile walk to the restaurants, pickleball/tennis courts and ice cream shops.

We updated the kitchen with new countertops, stove, built-in-microwave, and dishwasher. The refrigerator is very spacious. We have a washer and dryer in the kitchen for your use.

The kitchen/living/dining are a large open space that is great for families to be together. There is a large TV with FOCUS cable and internet is provided. The dining area has a table and six chairs. There is also a bar in the kitchen that seats 4 more.

The house has been painted recently inside and out. The space under the house can be used for parking or outdoor activities. There is plenty of parking in front of the house and underneath. There is also a new outdoor shower under the house for our guests to use.

All the bedrooms have new queen size beds. The living room and all bedrooms have Roku TVs, with wireless internet. There are three porches, two on the back on one on the front all with water views. Come sit on the porch and feel the breezes.

Awesome Beach Rental

The property owner was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The property is a very short walking distance from the beach. We very much enjoyed our stay and will stay again if we return to Holden Beach.

Very nice property!

The ONLY issue I had was with the booking itself. I thought I was reserving the place for two nights and, as it turned out, I only got it for one night. The vrbo booking process wasn't exactly clear, but my fault for sure. Otherwise, the place was great, and Marsha was very responsive.

Great Holden Beach getaway

We really enjoyed our stay here. This is a comfortable and convenient house for small groups looking to enjoy Holden Beach. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the sound, the proximity to restaurants and shops, and the super quick walk to the beach via private access. The outdoor shower is incredible. The kitchen was very well stocked with cookware and appliances, and we appreciated the clean gas grill with a full propane tank. We hope to be back!

Enjoyed it.

Overall it was an enjoyable stay. We had a short walk to the beach and it was a quiet stay overall. Definitely meant for 6 people and not 8 (advertised for 8) it works for 8 if you bring a blow up/sleep on couch(es). Property own was out of town and thankful that they had a back up number in town to be able to get into the house as we received the code after our check in time. Overall a good stay and would stay again

Nice property

Great location and open floor plan was just what we needed. Kitchen was all that we needed. The only exception was the refrigerator and freezer was too full of owner’s food. We had lots of food for a Thanksgiving gathering and had to keep some in our coolers. No big problem. We have never had this issue at a VRBO property before. Also we found sand spurs in the carpet in the den.

Great Week!

Although I gave this property a 3 /5 on cleanliness, the owner communicated with me above and beyond to help resolve the issue. It was not the owner's fault but the previous renters. The owner even drove to the property to solve the problem. We were very grateful!

Great stay for our fam!

We had too many people in the other house we booked and need a place close by on Holden beach for the last couple days of our stay. Marsha was responsive and even allowed us to drop our things a little early. The home is lovingly maintained, and provided enough room for our three grown boys and for us. The water was nice and hot and the kitchen was very well equipped. Would stay here again.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because we love Holden Beach. We have been coming here for over 15 years and love it so much!

What makes this property unique

The space underneath the house is awesome. There is a big picnic table and another smaller table down there. It is the perfect space to hang out at night. Even in the summer months there is always a breeze under the house.

We love putting our beach chairs out and sitting and visiting and just enjoying each other and our family.
