Tropical storm Debby didn’t defeat us!

Great location and the house was just right for our family. Short walk to the beach and the property provided plenty of beach chairs and sand toys. We all enjoyed the pool too. The third floor deck had wonderful views of the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to prepare our meals. Unfortunately tropical storm Debby was a challenge for us; but we made the best of it-sometimes dodging rain drops! It was still a great week at “Sunshine in my soul”!

Wonderful ocean vacation

What a wonderful oceanfront house! We have never rented a beach house that came so well-stocked with essentials for the week, such as beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, hand soap, and even ziplock bags. We appreciated how clean the house was on arrival (amazing that one gal can ready such a big house between guests), we loved the daily tent service, the well-appointed kitchen, a real coffee pot (not kuerig fans), the extra downstairs fridge, quality deck and pool furniture, and the deck and pool gates to safeguard the little ones. The kids loved the pool, especially on the days when there was rough ocean surf. Location is wonderful. Great owner communication. We will cherish the family memories from our week at Sunshine in My Soul.

Great House, Well Equipped!!

Perfect for our three generation family gathering. The house is beautifully furnished and the kitchen well equipped with everything we needed. The new pool was a great place to hang out when not at the beach. The concierge tent service was a wonderful addition. The only thing wanting is a gas grill rather than the charcoal grill provided.

Perfect family vacation!

Our extended family spent a wonderful beach week celebrating Grandma’s 75th birthday at Holden Beach! We had ages 4-75 and the house and location were great. The house is well-equipped with everything you need, and has plenty of room for everyone to spread out- adults spent evenings on the porch and kids used both tv rooms. Beach and pool were fantastic and the daily tent service was much appreciated. We did add another tent given our group size. The owner was super organized in communication and even helped us find a photographer to take pictures right at the house. Definitely recommend TAD Photography! We also took surf lessons from Holden Beach Surf Crew and rented a pontoon one day for intercostal fishing. We loved the house and would definitely recommend it!

Retreat on the Beach with lots of room and a pool.

The property is great with 6 bedrooms and 6 1/2 baths. We used to own and rent out a beach house and I am very familiar with "check out and check in day" and that not all renters are good. We treat a property like it is ours and try to leave it better than we found it. There is simply not enough time to make things spotless in a few hours. That said, this house was clean and ready for our stay with fresh sheets on the beds and included a set of towels or two depending on the size of the bed. The folks before us were not the best renters leaving the beach chairs in a pile most in the storage room and some in the outdoor shower neither of which was as requested by the property owners. Our stay which included our four daughters, four sons in law and eight grandchildren from 15 to 21 years who were there mostly in shifts with two days when we had 17 people and it all worked great. It had been 8 years since we visited Holden Beach having sold our property there in 2015. Our grand kids enjoyed the beach from an early age which made coming back even more enjoyable. Holden Beach is a special place and holds many old and now new memories. This house made it possible and we enjoyed it all.

Great Family Vacation!

This was our second year staying here as an extended family of 8 adults and 7 kids, and it was another fantastic year! The house is very clean and well appointed with all the linens, towels, beach equipment, and toys! We enjoyed the pool and quick access to the beach, as well as the tent that was provided on the beach during our stay! You can't beat the views of the ocean and the privacy of the beach. The communication with Jenny was always quick and we had not problems during our stay. Would highly recommend for families traveling to Holden Beach!

Great House for Families!

Jenny's house was wonderful for our large group. We had 6 adults and 6 kids under 5 and 1 infant. The location is amazing; steps from the beach and the pool was nice and big for our group and a great way to cool off after the beach. It was nice to have the small kids play area on a separate level to give us some space once in a while. We would definitely recommend!

Great family trip.. and turtles!

Our experience was great - lots of towels, chairs for the beach, private pool, and having the tent set up every day was fantastic. House was very clean and exactly suited our three families coming together. Loved being right on the beach and watching the sunset and sunrise right from the deck. Early august is turtle hatching time - we saw lots of baby turtles right down the beach. Looking forward to coming back for our annual Holden family trip.

Family Vacation

Excellent property, excellent location and friendliness / communication with the owner make it a true vacation. Didn’t have to worry about a thing. Had one or two minor issues with the house but the owner had maintenance out there right away. Perfect family spot with the beach not too busy so there’s room to play games with the family on the beach. Very windy week so it was good for boogie boarding. Overall great experience and family vacation. Restaurants could be better in the area but has nothing to do with the house. Definitely can’t go wrong!

Family Beach Week

The layout of the home and its location, the pool, the decks and the views they afforded were perfect for us. The second refrigerator, the elevator, the Kids Room, an abundance of pool and beach toys and chairs were big winners. Nice appliances and a well stocked kitchen, plenty of Soft Soap and toilet tissue, etc...all greatly appreciated. The daily tent setup was a real bonus. On the down side, we thought the overall condition of the home, (inside and out) was somewhat sub par. Our feeling is that the home could stand a general overhaul, both from a condition and a cleanliness standpoint...something much more than what a cleaning crew could possibly address in a few hours during turnovers. A few things that we shouldn't have encountered, however: Some kitchen trash not removed; sufficient bath and hand towels not initially provided; residue of sand not removed in the area leading up to the second floor living area from the carport; disarray in the carport and the ground floor deck areas (hoses, pool items, beach chairs strewn about); beach chairs and other items haphazardly stored in the outside closet; front door handle and lock set not secured to the door. We will say though that communication with the Stoners on things that did come up during the week was excellent. They were very responsive...an A+ Summing up, we had a very pleasant stay at Sunshine In My Soul. We would recommend it to other vacationers with profiles similar to ours. The place simply needs some attention - some rehabbing that would involve an investment in time and money to make it really "shine." The Salerno Family

Wonderful Beach House!

We had a wonderful time staying at Sunshine In My Soul during 4th of July week! The house was very roomy for 17 of us, 9 adults and 8 kids. The bunk room was perfect for our 4 younger grandkids. We loved the beautiful open kitchen/ family room area where we could cook, play cards, work puzzles, and watch tv while being together. The kitchen was very well stocked! The balcony right off of this area had great chairs for beautiful beach views while relaxing and having coffee. The kids loved the pool and floats that were provided. The beach was great for collecting some great shells. You may want to bring water shoes for going into the water because of the shells. Jenny, the owner, was wonderful to work with. She made it very easy. Thank you for making your home so welcoming!!

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Stoner

Host profile image
We live in a suburb of Charlotte, NC with our son Nathan. Mark is a software engineer at Unisys Corporation and Jenny is a Coach to Mortgage & Real Estate Professionals. We have been visiting Holden Beach for several years with friends and have fallen in love with this quaint little island. We have always wanted a beach house of our own and in 2015, that dream became a reality when we purchased Keys in the Conch Shell. 2 years later, we purchased Sunshine in My Soul, our 2nd property in Holden Beach. We love the slow pace of Holden Beach and enjoy spending our time entertaining friends on the deck overlooking the ocean or taking a nap in the hammocks while enjoying the ocean breeze. We'd love to share our home away from home with you. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We knew we wanted a home that was large enough to have several families join us and we wanted to be oceanfront, so when we found Sunshine in My Soul, we fell in love. The home is laid out really well for a large crowd and either multi-family or multi-generational vacations. Our keyless touch pad locks means you can lock your items up but not have to worry about taking a key with you!

What makes this property unique

When you arrive at Sunshine in My Soul you will be blown away by the expansive views of the ocean! The beach is just steps away from the large deck which boasts a custom picnic table and 10 custom high Adirondack chairs. The beach is close enough to watch your kids play from the deck. No more packing up your things for a day at the beach! Just take your chair to the sand; the house and anything you need are just steps away.
