Perfect Location, amazing views.

House had front porch for watching the marsh and having morning coffee. Lovely view of the canal from rear porch. Great fenced in yard for our dogs. Kitchen well equipped and the bed was the most comfortable I have ever had in a rental property, also better than bed at home. Great spot highly recommend.

Beautiful Home!

This place was phenomenal! Not only is it decorated beautifully with some amazing items, it has some great asmenities that would make anyone want to stay here. The floating dock was perfect for our boat. The beds slept great and the openness of the windows were perfect for our dogs to look out! It gave you a beach feel with some extras. The living area downstairs was perfect for our teenage daughter with its on bathroom and sitting area. An added bonus was the deer in the open area in front of us, which made the view out the dining room picturesque. Couldn't ask for great owners and our stay was worth every penny! Will be back again and look forward to our next stay very shortly!

Our stay was probably one of the best experiences we have had while at Holden Beach. This property had everything! It was a vacation within a vacation including bikes, kayaks, beach chairs, sand toys, a dock to fish off, walking distance to the beach and much, much, more! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful stay

My husband and I had the best time on our vacation at your property. The location was perfect and just a short walk to the beach. You guys had so many amenities on hand, the home was clean, the backyard was beautiful, and we enjoyed sitting on the back porch in the evenings it was so peaceful. Thank you for a wonderful time and we look forward to coming back.

Great Place with Beautiful Views

We loved the close access to the beach, which was about a 5 minute walk. The house is beautiful and well kept. Plenty of room for six adults to spread out as well as plenty of space for kids to play. Our family loved the waterway access for fishing. The dogs really enjoyed being able to run around in the fenced yard. Will be returning in the future.

Peaceful location

House was very clean. My two beagles enjoyed the fenced in yard. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. It worked well for me, my son and his girlfriend and two dogs. I was kind of glad that my parents and grandfather couldn’t make it to this one. The only inside stairs are a very tight spiral staircase and the outside stairs would have been too much for them as well. I’d stay here again but would not recommend for the elderly.

Nice Beach House

This house had everything you could need. House was ready when promised and clean. Probably the most well-appointed kitchen of any house we have ever rented. Plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys if you forget your own. The beach is a quick walk up the street. The boat dock was great for launching kayaks and fishing. Plenty of parking. Communication with Linda the house manager was timely and informative. Great vacation for our family.

Why they chose this property

Having the dock to park your boat was a seller for us. Don't have a boat? You can fish, swim, raft, paddle board, kayak right from the dock of your fenced in back yard.
Boat rentals and Fishing Charters available in the area.

What makes this property unique

We feel that this property has a unique location offering so many nice places to walk your puppies. Also a nice quiet road to ride bikes with the little ones. The view of the marsh from the front porch with your morning coffee is my favorite way to start the day!
