Major Disappointment

For our annual family beach trip, we decided to rent Salt on The Rim, a (what appeared on the surface) nice home on Holden Beach, NC. We rented the house from Evolve Vacation Rentals and the house was managed by VROS – Vacation Rental Owner Services.Holden Beach, NC is a beautiful beach, but the positive experience stopped there.We could not get into the house until after 4pm because the cleaning crew was not done (same as other reviews). The crew mentioned that they hadn't finished "spot" cleaning (whatever that means) so we had to wait outside with all of our food and beverages. Several of the beds had sand in the sheets (same as other reviews) before we even got in them. There were several cockroaches INSIDE and outside the house around the deck and in the bedrooms/bathrooms. There was food left in some of the kitchen drawers and men's shorts left in the master bedroom dresser drawer. The master bedroom nightstand had no handles, and the master bedroom did not have a TV remote.While we were there, Hurricane Debby decided to come through. Granted it was more rain and wind than normal, but the house became almost inhabitable and though we thought about staying since the storm moved through quickly, we had to leave because of the problems with the house. The upstairs bedroom door to the right of the stairs did not shut properly and rain came in. There was dripping from that room down into the living room (through the ceiling). There was rain coming in the windows by the dining table. Also, the mat by the deck door near the dining table was soaking wet even after we had that door deadbolted pretty much the whole time. The shower floor in the master bedroom to the left downstairs has incredible softness under the shower floor by the shower head (seems it is completely rotted out and one only wonders how much mold is under there). I reached out to our property management company that we were leaving early because of the absurd uncleanliness and leaking but no response.We highly recommend Holden Beach, but clearly would NEVER recommend Salt on the Rim again and NEVER stay there again. Very expensive disappointment.

Non-holiday Family Gathering

Although the house has a few minor maintenance needs, it was very clean and comfortable. Great location, lots of parking, more than adequate kitchen and living areas. Dave, the property manager, was very responsive to an issue.

Enough Space

Family vacation for 11 people aged 15 to 70. Loved that the main level of the house was open. Since we had rainy weather and flooding during our stay, it was great to not be on top of each other. There were house issues due to the storm, but you could tell it was not the norm, so I am not letting "acts of nature" affect my review. Oceanfront location was ideal. It was all of our first time at Holden Beach, and we are already wanting to return. We were able to find plenty of shark teeth, shells, and sea biscuits! Flooding water made the ocean skeptical for swimming, but it was still great to be at the beach!

Just Okay

Was not able to get in at 4:00. Deck was a mess on check in. Stairs, which is in the listing, were there, but narrowed at top making it difficult to have both hands full going up or down. Family gathering area is weak. Kitchen is very small. It is pet friendly, which is significant since there not many houses at Holden that are. It is very near the one car charger on the beach.

Wonderful location for family!

We had a great time staying in this location. The house had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our group of 17. We wished there were more dish and bath towels as well as beach towels provided, since we flew in and were not able to pack our own on the plane. The kitchen had plenty of pans and cooking utensils for a large group. Loved our time here!

Too Many Negatives For Such Expense

Arrived at the house to spend the long Memorial Day weekend with family. We checked in Friday afternoon with a Tuesday morning checkout. On the surface, a beautiful house and great location. The problems started immediately. Sand in the bedsheets. It was as if the bedding had not been laundered and the beds simply made up after the previous visitors - disgusting. Saturday, the air conditioning died. It was brutal. While we intended to spend as much time at the beach as we could, we were constantly required to return so the property manager and HVAC repair crew could gain access. Very long story short, they had to replace the entire system which took the whole day and left the house temperature in the 80’s until around midnight. Sunday, the first floor ceiling below a second floor bathroom started to leak while someone showered. We called the property manager again who indicated it was a known issue and was “fixed” three months prior. He told us to just “move the furniture” from underneath the leak. There were lots of random dead bugs in the corners of most rooms. The kitchen was cloudy with fruit flies. We notified the property manager about the bugs and leaks immediately but nothing was ever done to address either. Being right on the beach was great but with the bugs, lack of AC, and the plumbing situation, we may as well have been in a tent. This place was far too expensive for what you get. Save your money and go camping instead.

Great location. Kitchen could have been stocked a little better with large platters and serving bowls. Bathrooms need more than 3 hooks for towels when there are 6 people using each upstairs bathroom. And next time I would take night lights. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay.

Great Stay. Some Repairs Needed

Overall, we had an amazing stay. The shelling was incredible and we found many sharks teeth. The upstairs shower on the right side could not be used given there is a leak down to the lower floor into a ceiling light fixture. The heaters are a little hard to figure out, but we did. Overall, great house and location.

Family Get-Away at Holden Beach

Overall the house was great and our entire group was satisfied. Being on the ocean and being in walking distance to a festival held under the bridge was great. The few questions I asked the management company via text message were answered quickly, which was a great help. Here are some suggestions to improve things: add to check-in instructions that the key pad to unlock the property is at the top of the stairs (which you access only by opening an unlocked, closed door located in the center of the covered parking under the house), check the washing machine (during spin cycle tub wobbles and makes loud noise), one burner did not work on stove top, downstairs half-bath (door hard to close and swings into hallway restricting room to walk), downstairs master bathroom (walk-in shower has no place for soap, shampoo, etc, and there are no towel racks/holders anywhere in that bathroom). It would be nice to have blinds on the frosted glass in the double doors into the dual downstairs master bedrooms, so that in the AM if lights are turned on in the kitchen or den the bedrooms aren't getting that light. Thanks again for helping our family of eight have a great return visit to Holden Beach!

Fantastic!

Salt on the Rim was the perfect find for our family! We are a group of 13, with kids from 10 to 1 year old, and 8 adults . The home was very spacious with a great layout. The 6 bedrooms, 8 beds, and 5 bathrooms was perfect for our group! The location couldn’t be better, and we loved the the deck & all its seating. If we weren’t on the beach looking for shells or playing in the waves, we were relaxing on the deck.The Booking process, check in, and check out were all very clear, and the house was VERY well cleaned :) We ate at Castaways, Dock House, Mermaids Grill, and Provision Co. and enjoyed them all very much. Holden Beach is a great host and we literally had the perfect vacation !
