Great oceanfront home

Cute older beach house that is first row, direct beach access, and spacious. Layout worked well for us and the owners stopped by (after calling) and were extremely nice...even helped us get the pool heated after going back and forth with Vacasa about it. (just FYI, it's not explicit in the listing but you must pay for pool heating for the entire stay and they can turn it on from their end very easily).

Perfect in every way.

First of all there was a glitch with reserving the pool and management spoke to me online and on the phone and we solved it amicably. Hey, mistakes happen but it's how they are handled that makes or breaks things for us and it couldn't have been handled better. And for the record, my family really enjoyed the pool.Back to the stay. It was perfect. We were looking for a place to relax with our teenagers before the oldest heads to college in the fall. Teenage boys need their own space, Mommas need their boys nearby and Dads need a bit of both. This property was perfect. The fact that it was all on one floor meant the boys could each have their own space but not disappear. The kitchen was open so all 4 of us took turns making the big meal of the day but we were all around and available to help. The wall of windows looking out to the poarch and ocean was magnificent. We spent a good bit of time sitting out there with a cozy blanket and warm coffee's. One of the very best things was the walkway to the beach. Some houses we've stayed in have been beachfront but still quite a distance from the actual beach. Not this property. The walk to the beach was short and sweet, you didn't feel like you were committing to a hike just to go stand on the beach and gaze out to sea for a few minutes. Being near the ocean is our families happy place--this property only enhanced that. We will be back.

Easy beach access

We loved that this house was beach front and had a pool for little kids to play in when the ocean got too tough.

Great Family Vacation Home!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed The Summer House for our family vacation this year. House was well laid out with comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms, great common areas and covered deck. Beach was amazing with plenty of space to ourselves. Private pool was a hit, especially with the kids. Nothing like being steps from the beach! Highly recommend this rental!

Beach

Been coming here for several years now, and it's great every time. We come for the beach, but the pool is a great addition that was enjoyed by all. Location and beach access is excellent. We also find the beach crowd very light in this area, which is nice.

First time in Holden Beach

Great stay. Clean property, great use of the space. Direct beach access. Management responsive to issue with pool heater; refund received during our stay. Great shelling! Would recommend. Note to owner: the sliding doors for the shower in the Jack and Jill bath are installed backwards - if renters don’t notice this, they could flood it.

Perfect Beach Cottage

The house was exactly as described and was the perfect house for us. We did have a small issue when the pool stopped heating but Vacasa sent maintenance out promptly to fix the problem. We would definitely rent it again.

Great place

A little small for a large family but great location and well cared for house. Had we come in warmer weather having the little pool would be nice for the kids.

An okay experience.

We rented The Summer House with somewhat short notice for a 2 night stay for myself, my wife, son and daughter in law. The location was good, though there was a 4 mile drive to the nearest restaurant. Had to drive 30 minutes to Shallotte for most of our dining out. The layout of the home was excellent, providing good separation between all the bedrooms. There was lots of room in the kitchen, dining room and living room. The sunset/sunrise views from the beach were fantastic. The shower/hose bib on the boardwalk was really nice for washing off the sand. Lots of chairs for sitting in the sun on the back deck.
