Can't beat the location!
Let me start with the positives of this place! You can't find a better location. The walk to the beach is so doable! Especially with kids we were back and forth for breaks or food or whatever we needed and it wasn't a hassle at all! While you can't see much of the ocean from the house, the marsh views were absolutely exquisite! We hired a photographer and used both the beach and the marsh views! Havung your own pool was fantastic also.... not many houses have a private pool and are so close to the ocean! Being on the canal is such a cool feature too! We brought our crabbing boat and used it though out the weekend!
We loved Holden Beach as a location also. It was our first time visiting and it was very clean, quiet and family oriented.
However there were some drawbacks. First and foremost. They need a new cleaning company. When we arrived, the counters in the kitchen were still dirty, there was hair left in the sink in the laundry room and the drawer of bathroom. When we went to make the bed, we found a dead bug (not a bed bug) but if the cleaning people had pulled back the duvet, it would have been seen right away. There was also a water bottle left up in the bunk bed. I let the rental Company know all of our complaints and hopefully they address it with their cleaning company.
My only other complaint is that the pictures are outdated. There is no longer a jetski launch attached to the dock. We brought our kayaks hoping to utilize that. There also is no gas grill or hammock on the bottom level like pictured. There is a charcoal grill available but that looks like it has seen better days. A positive though is that there is a TV in the living room now.
If they can address the cleaning problems, this rental is a fantastic location and was plenty spacious for our family (me, my husband, my inlaws, and our 2 kids). And there was still more room if needed. We had a great week!
