Great communication from owner
He called to review our stay and clarify our needs. I didn’t love the pay as you go laundry but the heads up was nice so we packed not to need to use the laundry. The place was well appointed and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful beach. Just a short 3 minute walk to the beach. Place was just what my wife and I needed for a little get away. Found lots of sea biscuits and shark teeth. Owner was very accommodating and was able to extend our stay a little. Thanks!

Your search is over!
Stop looking because this is the place! It was clean, had everything we needed, walking distance to the beach and no roaches or bedbugs. You're gonna have an occasional palmetto bug come inside but they do not "live" there and I can honestly say this place had the fewest of any place I have ever rented. The owner was very accommodating and check in was simple. The boys enjoyed fishing and catching crabs from the canal. The pier is not far and it's a great spot for shelling and shark tooth hunting. I don't have a single complaint about our stay.

Holden Beach Weekend
Came for a weekend get away in October. Place was clean and quiet. Nice view from the back deck of the intercoastal water way. Quick walk to the beach. It was October so it was crowded at all.

Perfect getaway!
We loved this beach house! We booked with short notice. Dana and Joel were quick to respond and accept our reservations. The house was clean and well organized. It has everything you need in the kitchen, and all the stuff you need for a great time at the beach. Bicycles, corn hole boards, grill, wagon and chairs. We love being on the canal, and the beach access was very close. We will definitely stay again soon.

Great place to stay!
It was just perfect for our family. 2 adults and 3 kids (16, 12, 4) It had a nice view of the canal out off of the back porch. A nice deck and floating pier. It was a perfect size to keep us all together but also give enough privacy for each of us. It was only a 3-4 minute walk to the beach which was pretty much wide open even on Saturday. It was also very clean on the inside. We will definitely be back.

Holden Beach and Canal Stay
My husband and I stayed in the lower canal unit for a long weekend in early April. The home was as described in the ad and the kitchen was well stocked. Joel was the perfect host and offered suggestions for restaurants and stores, and how to get our boat to his dock. All suggestions were spot on! The home is located on an intercoastal canal where you can fish or crab from the dock, and you may be able to bring your boat if the dock is available - be sure to check with Joel first. The beach is a very short walk away and there are plenty of bicycles and a wagon to help you get there. Highly recommend this stay, will stay here again when we are in the area.

Perfect No Stairs
I took my mom to Holden Beach for a late birthday getaway. She just turned 81. There were no stairs we had to climb and the chairs, couches and beds were very comfortable. Very close to the pier if you want to go to the beach or she’ll hunt. Joel was very friendly and helpful for any questions we had while we were there. We will definitely be staying again. Thank you Joel for a very nice and stress free booking!

Good
Joel was very helpful. Unfortunately my 12yr old daughter and her friends are freaked out by palmetto bugs. I expected to see one or two but there multiple inside the place at night. She didn’t sleep hardly at all. The toilet is really close to the vanity and it was tough for me to get in there. Outside shower pipe busted which I get it happens but it was not operational. I can’t give it more than 3 stars.

Holden Beach Canal Duplex
My husband and I rented the lower unit for a long weekend, we were in town for a wedding. The lender prefers to speak with each guest therefore you need to make sure you respond to his calls before your arrival. Most rentals just send a code through the listing but he gives it over the phone. I was a little uncomfortable with the privacy after the owner stated that people all up and down the coast had the code. I brought a backup door lock for our safety and I suggest anyone that stays in rentals get those. The space itself was a bit run down. The master bed had a broken support pole under the bed and was not attached to the headboard. The bathroom set up is very strange and the toilet is way too close to the sink, this could be a challenge for taller people. We also had a rough time sleeping because the upstairs renters had a young child who were running laps very early in the morning. Some positives to the property is he does offer some beach chairs, bikes and a wagon for guest use. There is a kitchen so you can cook at the unit but he did lack a few times like oven mitts and the kitchen was quite a mess with organization. The unit provided what we needed for the weekend but I would not choose to return to this unit.

About the host

Hosted by Joel Martin

Host profile image
My wife and I purchased our home at Holden Valentine's Day 2000. We were newlyweds when we bought it. Holden beach is truly our home away from home. We have raised our boys with numerous Holden Beach vacations. We hope you can enjoy our home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Our home has a shared washer and dryer located downstairs. We do not provide linens, therefore you will need to bring 1 set of King size sheets, 1 set of full sheets, and twin set.1 set for futon if needed (full), bath and beach towels. There are several places on the beach that will deliver linens for a few. I can get you information if interested.

What makes this property unique

Our home is located on Holden Beach. We are located less than a 1/2 mile from the pier on a deep water canal. We are a short walk to the beach. Our home is a duplex and has an upper and a lower level. The whole house accommodates 12 people or you can rent just one unit that sleeps 6. The whole house is 4 bedroom/2 bath. Rent the whole house for $260 per night or just one unit for $145 per night. Please email me with questions.
