Great location and view

Jenny was very prompt on answering questions before trip. View from second level was awesome. We loved the pool as it had sitting benches built in and were very comfortable. It was our first time renting a house we would do it again.

for the price, seems to "needs some TLC"

The house had a great location and all the amenities we hoped for! It was just the right space and set up for our group. While it was "clean" as in the housekeeping was doing a great job, there was just general maintenance things that were rough around the edges. I'm sure to some extent that had to do with us coming at the end of the summer travel season. Interior and especially exterior needed some paint and rust proofing. (To the extent that kids had to be warned about avoiding contact with the rust.) The mattresses weren't great and pillows were flat. The shower curtains had those questionable dark spots at the bottoms and shower was showing it's wear and tear. We couldn't get the garage doors to open (but we also didn't ask for help so that's on us) and we couldn't locate any light inside the garage, so it was just dark and wet in there. Things like that. In all, we had a very nice stay and enjoyed it, but it put a damper on the initial excitement and there was definitely some discussion about it feeling like for the price we weren't expecting to feel like things "needed TLC".

Jenny was amazing with communication. The house was exactly like in the pictures. The location is fabulous. You walk right out to the beach on private walkway. The pool was very clean as was the house. The house had everything you could wish for. Made for great family memories!

Lovely house

House was very nice and clean. Kitchen equipped well for cooking. Fully stocked keurig was certainly appreciated. Refrigerator could be a little bigger. Loved the complimentary beach tent service and the chairs and toys available at the house. Outdoor area and the pool are wonderful. Grandkids had so much fun in the pool and hot tub.

Great stay at the beach

The house was very nice and had everything we needed. The location and beach were great. What made this house outstanding was the pool. The hot tub was sandy and cloudy when we got there. The came back and cleaned it but the water never did look inviting. Overall, the whole family thought it was a great time.

Perfect House and location!

We highly recommend staying at this property for a relaxing and convenient beach vacation! It is clean, well maintained, stocked with everything we needed for comfortable beach days (nice chairs to take to the ocean). It is steps away from the ocean, the pool was beautiful and had 8 full length reclining sunning chairs, the house was perfect for our family of 7 (husband and myself, 2 college age children, and our daughter and so. In law and 6mo old grandchild). We especially enjoyed having a tent service each day; the gentleman who set it up daily was consistent and had it set-up before 8 each morning! Also, the hostess was easy and lovely to communicate with!

Lovely location

This house was great and fully equipped with everything needed. The only thing disappointing was the temperature of the pool. We paid the extra $250 for it to be heated and it was not swimmable the entire time. I would recommend removing this option during certain months so that people aren’t wasting money.

Pleasant week

The house was very nice, loved the pool size, the location of the house, proximity to the beach and the tent concierge service was a plus. A suggestion would be to have a lot more silverware for a house that accommodates 10 of us. Fully equipped kitchen was advertised and that was lacking. The lighting in the kitchen was on and off and my son in law changed the filter for the a/c, it was really dirty. Some knobs should be checked for maintenance on bedroom furniture. It would be helpful to advertise the master suite requiring to go up a flight of stairs, most are on the main level. The coffee supplied for the Keurig was a nice feature and Jennifer was great to work with. I would suggest spending the $106 per year for recycling, we brought much of ours home.

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 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. We spent 5 months renovating and redecorating the home, giving it our personal touch. 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 Keys in the Conch Shell, 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 first enter Keys in the Conch Shell you will be blown away by the expansive views of the ocean! The beach is just steps away from the large deck which boasts an 8 ft custom picnic table and 6 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.
