About this property

Love this place!

This was our second stay at this property. You cannot beat the location—it’s a super short walk to the beach. The backyard is amazing—large pool, bar, tv and speakers make for great poolside afternoons. This property is very clean and well stocked with everything you need. Plus, dog friendly! Cannot beat it.

Spring break paradise

We had a great week at the beach! The house was perfect for our family. Short walk to the beach when we weren’t enjoying the pool! Perfect location with easy access to everything. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Great house and location

Well stocked kitchen as well as pool and beach supplies. Large pool. Pool heater worked well. My only suggestion would be to have the 'no dogs in the pool' rule in the property details so you know that before you get there.

Family vacation

I loved how it was decorated, it was cozy and felt like being home. They’ve put a lot of thought in how to make people feel welcome and provided a lot of extras. All of the beach accessories were a bonus and made the short walk even easier!

A Beautiful Stay at Holden Beach

The house was very clean, beds comfy, and the porches and pool were outstanding! All the touches were there for a great stay. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated the coffee for our first day! Plenty of towels, pool toys, and beach chairs/games provided. The walk to the beach was SO SHORT! Easy peasy. However, we found ourselves hard to tear away from the pool, which is where we spent much of our time. I was able to bring my dogs, which I really appreciated, and they enjoyed themselves as well. I had a small issue when I arrived, which was fixed immediately and with great urgency. The owners were so kind and understanding with me when I couldn't figure out an issue. No Worries is truly their mantra! Wonderful hosts. Would love to come back some day! And Holden is my absolute favorite beach. Peaceful family beach. Thank you Lynette and Alan for a wonderful stay!!!

Great location

The outdoor pool and bar area was by far our favorite. The rooms were spacious and served well for our family. I loved that they had pet amenities available (bowls, dog bed). It was a nice surprise.

Fantastic week

What a great stay. Beautiful home with comfortable space. The pool was great the first few days the beach was too rough for the little ones and for the times you want to relax pool side. The home has it all from beach wagons to floats. One minute walk to the beach access was so easy. Kitchen had it all to cook all meals in if you like. Kids room was great for the two year old who has nicknamed the door stop dog Buster!

The Perfect Family Beach Week

Cannot say enough good things about Irie Vibes! Our family had the absolute best time! The outside area is perfect for the kids and adults- we could hardly keep the kids out of the pool! The location to the beach could not have been easier to access and the kitchen was well stocked and easy for everyone to move around! The owners were very responsive! 10/10 recommend!!

Amazing beach house!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Irie Vibes, and it was just as wonderful as the first! A very well appointed and comfortable beach home with a beautiful large pool and a very short walk to the beach. Any questions or concerns we had were very quickly handled by the owners. Irie Vibes will always be our first choice when we come to Holden!

We had another great stay at this property. Perfect fit for our multi-generational family! Easy walk to beach, restaurants, ice cream and even kids Turtle Time at town hall. Pool is amazing for a swim after the beach. Plenty of gathering space outside. Kitchen is fully stocked with all the plates & pots you need for a family meal. Outdoor shower and bathroom are clutch for wet & sandy little kids. This house feels like a home, not just a rental property! Looking forward to our next visit!

Great get away

This house was just what we expected and needed. The pool area is perfect and we spent a lot of time down there! We loved the bar and all the pool toys, ping pong table, and floats. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking which we did almost every night. The walk to the beach was easy and short. Definitely would recommend Irie Vibes!!

About the host

Hosted by Alan & Lynette Kozar

Host profile image
We are a retired couple, living in NC. We love to travel! Alan was a General Contractor for many years.

Why they chose this property

We visited Holden Beach, NC several times as we owned property in Sunset Beach. Holden Beach reminds us so much of a little Florida beach town. We needed a bigger space for our growing family (3 grandchildren & hoping for more!) Holden Beach was an easy choice. Once we walked into this home, we were convinced that this was it! It needed no major work, had been completely and professionally updated and was just perfect for us.

What makes this property unique

Our pool and pool deck are amazing! We hope to add a ping-pong/ bar area in the future. Our home is a quick walk to the beach. If you get tired of the beach or pool, you can swing on the front porch and people watch!
