Pair your afternoon swims with fruity concoctions prepared at the tropical bar.

Inside Glimmering Shell Hideaway, you'll be pleased to find an open-concept layout. Sit back and catch up on your favorite shows in the living room, or show off your cooking skills amongst the full kitchen's stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space. Prepare to spend fun-filled hours gathered around the pool table in the downstairs family room.

Follow the home's vibrant nautical theme into each of the bedrooms, equally charming with their soft linens and natural lighting. With sizable bathrooms and a separate laundry room, you'll find that your daily routine is easily practiced. Elevator and internet access round out the home's perks.

House is spacious, could use a thorough cleaning.

Very spacious! Short 5 minute or less walk to the beach! The beach access was directly across from our street. The kitchen table was huge, plenty of seating. Enjoyed many family meals and game nights there!

Overall the house was fine. As mentioned in the above, a few things that we would have never expected and neglected. Addressing the items above would have made this the ultimate vacation home. BTW: The Vacasa attendants did a great job in retrieving our sodastream that was left behind. Thanks again Gloria!

Some tv remotes missing, pool furniture rusted and/ or broken, no outdoor shower head on shower, deck screws need resetting. Bedroom carpet needs attention. Whole house needs some cosmetic updates. Second time staying so it was evident of the differences. Had a great time with family overall!

Large Home

The home is well laid out with satisfactory furnishings and good beach access. But needs major repairs of its systems and a good cleaning.

Overall attractive home. Perfect for young families.

Public beach access is just a short walk down the street from the house. Intercoastal waterway is too far to enjoy the boats traveling through.

Family vacation

The house was less than 5 minutes walk to the ocean. 4 king size beds meant everyone got a "big" bed! The house was clean and gorgeous, the elevator made moving luggage up and down stairs a breeze. One of the best homes we've ever stayed in!

Beautiful Home, great vacation!

We stayed the weekend of 3/22-3-24 at Glimmering Shell Hideaway. When we arrived we didn’t have the right code for the front door, staff were immediately responsive and available. They checked on us throughout the stay to ensure everything was ok. The home is beautiful and beautifully decorated. It was extremely clean and smelled fresh, stocked with extra linens, towels, etc. The home had all of the amenities that you would want and need for a beach house. We had a great stay and experience and look forward to coming back!

Helpful pros and cons

This review is intended to be helpful and is in no way to be considered angry or malicious. I only wish to convey pros and cons of our stay as helpful feedback. Pros: nice size pool, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, well priced, quiet street, great to have 4 king beds. good variety of baths (walk-in and tub/showers), appreciate the suitcase stands in each room, very nice size dining table, great availability of TVs, enjoyed the pool table. Cons or areas of improvement: pool furniture is in need of replacement (rusted out frames, torn upholstery), 2nd floor center sliding door will open but does not close well (has to be lifted up and pulled strongly), would like shades/blinds on the kitchen and living room windows, would be much nicer with dimmer switches on the lights in the living room and kitchens, the grill is in desperate need of replacement (stand is collapsing).

Plenty of room

The rental had plenty of room for my big family! My husband and I, along with three grown children and six grandchildren all had enough space! The bedrooms were separated so we had our space when we needed it. The kitchen and family room were big and roomy so we had a great space when we were all together. The kids loved the pool! We will definitely return to this rental!

Family Beach Week

Our two sons, daughter in law, grandchildren and dogs descended on Holden Beach for a week in August. House was perfect for our needs, located directly across from public beach access. Five large bedrooms, five baths, great pool, and an ELEVATOR which made move in and move out infinitely easier. We loved the house and would book it again
