Delightful

Beautiful setting in an older comfortable home. Amazing ocean view. Sorry to see it is "contingent" Hope someone saves this lovely home. Very close to other houses, we were lucky they were empty. Close to another walk to a park and path along the Inland Waterway, which was wonderful when the beach was very windy! Comfortable beds

Spring Break 2025

Overall a very great stay! Amazing ocean views from the house! Everything was exactly as it was in the details of the house. We were very happy with all of the kitchen accessories as usually most places don’t care that much. Even had a big pot to cook crabs legs which we took advantage of. Was so nice to have our 2 pups with us to enjoy the place. Downfall of the place was it is on the market for sale and the new owner/surveyors came before it was even light out to get outside measurements which scared the crap out of us. Also my wife had got locked in the one bedroom after going in to it to get changed. The knob somehow jammed and wouldn’t let her out for nothing so luckily I found some tools in the one kitchen drawer and end up taking the knob off on the outside of the door after her being locked in there a good 30 minutes.

Wonderful beach cottage getaway

I have been dreaming of an on-the-beach stay since I was a kid, when my family used to make annual Holden Beach trips. Back then we also rented a small oceanfront cottage. Although that home had no air conditioning back in the 80s, Becky Ann reminded me so much of it. A simple, comfortable, clean cottage where you can relax and enjoy the beach and the view. We so enjoyed our stay and the memories made. Highly recommend!

A perfect, affordable mid-week 3 -night retreat for this retired couple and our Bichon. Loved relaxing on the back porch just a few steps away from the surf! Hoping to get back there again soon!

Definitely needs some upgrades for the price point

We all know you pay for the location. The bathrooms were great. Everything else needs to be updated. It was good but this house has roaches. My granddaughter stepped on a pretty large one early this morning in the bedroom and there was a dead one behind the door in room with twin beds. Kitchen blinds just fell when trying to close them and the plastic piece on the light fixture in the kitchen fell. Not sure if we would stay here again considering the price we paid.

Anniversary trip!

We usually head to Florida for our anniversary but due to time constraints & cost we decided to go to Holden. We used to own beachfront here so it always feels like home. Beach access was great & we enjoyed the back porch. King size bed was great. Loved the old charm with heart pine walls & ceilings

Great location

We loved this cute little cabin. The location was unbeatable and we spent most our time on the porch staring at the ocean. We’d definitely book again, the house had everything we needed to cook & enjoy the long weekend.

A rustic retreat

The location was ideal as sitting on the porch allowed for direct view of the ocean and access to it by walkway! The kitchen was well stocked although lighting at stove was limited. The property advertisement should include coffee pot, oven, and dryer. The bathrooms were clean and adequate and beds were comfy. The living room remotes do not work properly. The railings and porch in particular need to be repaired soon before there is an accident as all boards were weathered and railing on walkway broke loose during our stay. Luckily no one was hurt! Overall it was a comfortable, relaxing weekend that we were thrilled our dog could enjoy with us!

Spring Break Getaway

The property was quaint and the perfect size for myself, my husband, our daughter, and a small dog. There were a few things left behind from the previous renter, which is why I could not give 5 stars for cleanliness. The porch was my favorite part of the house. Morning coffee while staring at the ocean was great. The area in front of the house is a great spot for shelling. I found 4 sea biscuits on one of my morning walks. We had a wonderful time and would rent again if given the opportunity.

Old beach cottage with updated bathrooms. Having a walk way to the beach was the selling point for the cottage.

Charming cabin

This is my second stay in this rustic charming cabin. Reminds me of my childhood spent on beach visits in similar cabins in Texas. The place has everything you'd need including ac/heat, washer/dryer, bath towels, though the paper goods are restricted. I even placed a pick up order with Food Lion grocery, very convenient.Having morning coffee in a rocking chair on back deck was my happy place. Stroll to beach on private boardwalk was another. The location is prime block number for shelling on Holden. The nearby seafood markets were great. I can't wait to come back again!

Needs to be well cleaned before visitors. Could use an update to brighten up. No basic cleaning supplies like dish soap, broom etc. TV in the living space hard to use.

Charming and Cozy

Met all expectations and reminded me of my family trips to Holden Beach as a kid. A few suggestions: provide some instructions for using the TV system. We struggled with it and it was via trial and error we found the programs we sought. A manager came to help the best he could with it, much appreciated. Also, no soap dish detergent and cloth or scrub for the kitchen. We'll be back to Becky Ann for sure!

Spring Break 2023

This house was small house that one can relate to from Bay Watch show or Stranger Things show setting. This property needs updating compared to its surrounding houses. The backyard is dated however it is perfect little house on the beach. I loved the basic 1980 style of the kitchen & living room where one can look out the window while you are washing your dishes. Only complaint I can say is difficult to navigate TV system on our stay.

Mostly great

The communications were mixed from different entities prior to my arrival with conflicting information like name of cabin, wifi info, entry code, linens, items provided then not, via email and texts. I'm afraid I pestered the "contact" person with needless questions due to this. The cabin itself was a pleasure, reminding me of past family trips! Loved the rockers. The TV/streaming situation was a complete mess. Even with someone coming to 'fix' it. I did not check all the windows but i know the left beach facing one in left bedroom had no screen, the right one did. I had several cool days/nights and didn't have to run the A/C!
