Great place at the beach

It was fantastic and the owners were so great to work with. Our original booking was delayed by Hurricane Debby and when I told the owner we weren’t going to come until Saturday because of the storm they offered to block out another five days in August for us. We ended up coming the next weekend and had beautiful weather. The property is totally renovated and upgraded and less than a five minute walk to the beach. Highly recommended!

Great Beach House!

Our family really enjoyed this house. Nicely furnished, tastefully decorated with an “at home” feel. Both bedrooms upstairs had its own balcony, which was the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee. Comfy beds, a well-stocked kitchen, and kid friendly. Would stay here again.

Perfect Family Vacation

We enjoyed a perfect family vacation on Holden Beach in June 2023. The owners of this property have clearly considered visitors' comfort and taken the time to add some thoughtful extras. The house was clean and comfortable for our big group - including grandparents, children and grandchildren. We had other family staying elsewhere on the Island, but everyone gathered here to cook and enjoy. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Enjoyable & Accommodating

This was our first trip to Holden Beach and this house met all our needs (3 adults, 4 teens). Very nicely furnished and the kitchen had everything one could need for meal preparation. The Weber charcoal grill was great for grilling up seafood fresh from the dock. Great views from the 4 decks and a short walk to access the beach. An added bonus was the inclusion of linens and towels.

Amazing Family Getaway House and Beach!

We couldn’t have found a better house to stay at as three separate families with three toddlers! There was a great space for the kids to play and “sleep”, awesome spaces inside and outside to enjoy as a group and individually, and the owners really thought of everything from beach necessities to smart devices throughout the house! The walk to the beach is easy and its a perfect spot - not overcrowded at all! I highly recommend staying here if you have the chance. You will not be disappointed!

Perfect attention to detail

This was our first time in Holden Beach so we weren't really sure what to expect. The beach was beautiful and not overly crowded. This house was the perfect place for our family. It was super clean, very comfortable and the owners have equipped it with all that you need to enjoy your stay. It is a short walk to the beach on a very quiet street. All of us agreed we may need to go furniture shopping because the beds were more comfortable than our own at home. We loved our stay!

Fantastic house and experience

Wonderful house - amazing condition and perfect for our family of 5. Very short walk to the beach access and the house has everything you need - hosts were even considerate enough to subscribe to all the streaming services for their guests. We’ve stayed in a lot of beach houses where the a/c doesn’t really get the humidity out - not this one. Cool as you want it inside. House felt close to new inside - so impressed with the maintenance and how nice the hosts have kept it. Loved our stay and would definitely return.

Wonderful Experience

We enjoyed everything about this property and would love to return one day. The house was clean and decorated beautifully; it also was so well thought-out and included a fully stocked kitchen, a high chair, a beach wagon, etc. The owners were responsive and polite. The walk is really very short. I worried about this with two little boys, but it was easy. We ate at fun, beachy restaurants. Parking was great. The area is full of friendly people and lots of shells and shark teeth. The beach is big, clean, and not crowded. Thank you so much for letting us use your house.

Best rental so far

The house was perfect for the 5 of us. Very clean, attractive and well stocked with many essentials and food staples. The outdoor stairways are well lit at night with sensor lighting and all electronics worked flawlessly. We have been renting at Holden Beach for 10 years. Originally we all fit in the ocean front property on the East end, but as the kids have grown and our California family has joined us, we could no longer fit. We rented "Shore Feels Good" as an overflow and spent most of our time at the other house. This is the 3rd year we have had to rent a second house and this was by far the best of them all! We will certainly return next year unless plans change. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

Great home and great location

we thoroughly enjoyed our stayed. The house is all updated. Very clean, kitchen is very well equipped with upgraded items, stocked with basic needs as well for anything you would desire to cook . We had our groceries delivered from FoodLion. Walmart also deliveries to this location. Layout of the house was very nice for our group. 2 bedrooms and bath upstairs and 2 bedrooms and bath on main level. House was much better than the Pictures. Loved all the balcony options and relaxing under the deck. The location is great because the beach was not crowded even on the Holiday weekend since the beach access is private and not near a public access. Also love that Holden invests is keeping its beaches wide even during high tide unlike Oak Island. Owner was very responsive via VRBO messaging and text. We brought our own linens. We used the owners beach chairs, beach toys and grill. Would definitely highly recommend this home for a nice relaxing vacation with family or friends.

About the host

Hosted by Bryant & Keyanta Dargan

Host profile image
Bryant and Keyanta are native to North Carolina. We currently live in Raleigh and have 3 daughters. We love spending time together and making memories at the beach, which is why we decided to purchase this home. It's perfect for our family and we strive for our guests to feel the same! Goode happens to be a family surname, thus the beach house named, ‘Shore Feels Goode’.

Why they chose this property

We searched long and hard for our "perfect oasis". We decided on Holden Beach because of its low-key, family-friendly vibes, no high rise condos, and that breathtaking ocean view that we enjoy every time we come onto the island. It's close enough to home and while there's plenty of things to see and do on the island, you always have the option to take a quick day trip to nearby Myrtle Beach or Wilmington to explore more shopping, dining, and entertainment attractions.

What makes this property unique

We love our beach home because of its cozy, open-concept living area where we often spend time together cooking meals, watching movies, or playing games. We also enjoy the multiple/private balconies to sit back, relax and take in the ocean and marsh views. There are enough rooms for everyone to relax and it's conveniently situated on the island with easy access to the bridge and a short walk to the beach and other local venues.
