Sunshine in My Soul was fantastic! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. Even had a crockpot and a griddle! Perfectly clean and lots of comfortable seating for the decks, pool and beach! Also comfy beds!

We enjoyed our week at Sunshine in my Soul. The house was super clean when we moved in and had plenty of space for our family to spread out. Jenny was a great host and we appreciated the clear communication to ease check-in and check-out.

We had a great experience! The house and pool were perfect for our large family and only steps away from the beach!! Owner also had great communication for any questions I had. Would recommend!
We love the house and the fact that the beach is so close. The kids really enjoyed the pool too.Having a tent put up each day is a real plus.There are sand toys and beach chairs and pool floats. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cookware. We were fortunate to have great weather this year! The sunsets are spectacular!
We really enjoyed this beach house. Very clean and they thought of everything that a family needs to enjoy their time there. Would totally stay here again.

We all had an amazing stay! The house is beautiful and the beach is clean and comfortable. We loved sitting in the perfectly crafted Adirondack chairs - just the right height to take in the ocean, and of course the beach chairs provided were amazing!! Thank you, Jenny, for being so attentive and helpful!!

About the host
Hosted by Jenny Stoner
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 & Real Estate 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. 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 Sunshine in My Soul, 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 arrive at Sunshine in My Soul you will be blown away by the expansive views of the ocean! The beach is just steps away from the large deck which boasts a custom picnic table and 10 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.
