Our Escape to Holden Beach

Perfect house for a family beach vacation! This house is stocked with everything that you could possibly need, cooking supplies, air fryer, coffeemaker, keurig, grill, bath towels, beach towels, newer appliances, washer & dryer! The view from the back deck was breathtaking. A quick walk across the street to a pristine beach! We appreciated every beach decor detail! Most relaxing vacation this family of 4 has ever shared!

Issues need addressed

This is our 3rd time staying in this house and a few of the issues such as the tub not draining and no deadbolt on the front door have never been addressed.

Great vacation!

This is a wonderful, clean house that is clearly well-loved and maintained by the owners. There are many little touches of care, and trust that guests will appreciate and take care. Sunset views of the marsh were spectacular and a nice change of pace from the beach side — which is a super-short and easy walk. The kitchen is spacious and really well appointed. We were never in need while cheffing it up. This is a really nice beach house for a family or small group. Highly recommended and look forward to staying there again!

Nice location, Customer Service could be better

The house was nicely located with beach access right across the street. The views of the marsh were lovely. However the service from Vacasa could have been better. When we checked in, the cleaning crew did not clean a bathroom and the fridge. I reported it to Vacasa immediately but it took them over two days to get back with me, and by that time I had already cleaned myself.

Love, love, LOVE "Holden Friends!"

Bright, clean, welcoming and right across from the beach. We alternated evenings enjoying the front porch (on the rocking chairs) with views of the ocean, then enjoying the solitude (and sunsets) on the back deck overlooking the marsh. Been staying here for the most part since 2004 and will continue to have this as our mainstay vaca.

2nd stay

This is our second time renting Holden Friends. We love the house. We wish the back porch had a table to eat outside but that is definitely not a deal breaker for us.

Wonderful Vacation Home

This is our 2nd year in Holden Friends and we love it! Great having the towels provided and beds made when we arrived! Love the rockers on the front porch and the view of the marsh and sunset from the back porch.

Another Wonderful May at Holden Friends on the North Carolina Coast

This is our second year gathered with family at Holden Friends. Mid May is a wonderful time to be on the coast. Holden Friends is located about four miles from the Bridge, making it a quiet location. We loved looking out the back deck towards the marsh and seeing the birds feeding and interacting. I was glad I brought my binoculars this year! A simple walk across the street leads to a private boardwalk to the beach. It is a quiet end of the beach with wonderful sand and easy access to water. The home itself is spacious, the kitchen well stocked with the necessities, more has been added since last year making it even a more versatile cooking space. The breakfast, living room area has a high spacious ceiling with adjustable ceiling fans, the blue color is cooling and calming, perfect for both an escape from summer heat and family conversations. The wifi has a strong signal and several of us were able to participate in unavoidable zoom meetings. It is great to be confident and comfortable in a space and this is a real winner for us and I am sure it will be for you!

Wonderful Week at Holden Beach

Property was well furnished, clean, comfortable and easily accessible. Beach access was two houses away, great. We checked in on Saturday and I reported on Monday to property manager that the front storm door closer was broken when we arrived and they had it fixed that day, kudos! We would stay here again and recommend to friends.

Off season visit

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Holden and the house was a wonderful surprise. It was clean and very well equipped, the only thing lacking that I would have liked is a dish drainer as I order to hand wash dishes. We will definitely be booking another vacation in this house!!

Perfect home for our family!

The home was very clean and just what we needed for our family. Beach access was right across the street. My parents, who are in the 60-70 age range, joined us and they were able to stay in the downstairs bedroom and have their own bathroom. Us and our kids stayed in the rooms upstairs and used that bathroom. Highly recommend!

Great Location

Perfect house for our family vacation. Easy beach access and well appointed kitchen. Only thing that would have made it better would have been a table on the back deck for evening dinners outside.

Great Place for Lovely Sunrise/Sunset

This home is across the street the beach with quick access to the ocean. The back porch looks over an open area of sand and water looking towards the intercoastal waterway. Ideally situated to watch the sunrise and sunset. The area is filled with birds and we observed a beautiful painted bunting. The interior is spacious, the blue and white common areas are refreshing and cool. Parking beneath kept the cars cool and clean. The house is located towards the end of the road, minimizing traffic noise. Everything worked great.
