Awesome week at the beach!

The house was great! The home was just remodeled and had everything our family needed. The property was very clean. The owner even checked in on us. The property was beach front with a beautiful view. The pool and hot tub was an added bonus. This was our first time staying at Holden Beach and this place has won our hearts. Will be coming back again. Very nice to not have to fight for a parking spot, waiting for an elevator or finding a spot on the beach. They had our tent put up on the beach every morning by 6 and they took it down after 6 in the evening. If you have little ones, this is the beach for you. All beach chairs, beach toys, and pool tools were provided.

Beautiful house!

We had a fabulous long weekend stay at the house! It’s walking distance to things to do & yet far enough away it’s a quiet retreat. The pool and hot tub were definitely a bonus to our stay (because some only like to look at sand/ocean)—we really enjoyed our visit!

Lovely house

House was very nice and clean. Kitchen equipped well for cooking. Fully stocked keurig was certainly appreciated. Refrigerator could be a little bigger. Loved the complimentary beach tent service and the chairs and toys available at the house. Outdoor area and the pool are wonderful. Grandkids had so much fun in the pool and hot tub.

Perfect Stay!

The rental was very clean and provided all the amenities of home! The owner was wonderful about communicating with us and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We would definitely stay again and recommend this property to others. My only suggestion would be a little note in the instructions or on the fridge that the trash runs on Tuesday. Thanks for an awesome vacation!

Perfectly relaxing

Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed staying at Keys in the Conch Shell. The view is stunning, the beach is not nearly as busy as some other places, and the pool and hot tub are an added luxury. Jenny was quick to respond to any questions or concerns and even provided some rainy day ideas for the one morning it was raining. The kids loved the the bunk beds and all of the beds were quite comfortable with especially nice pillows and linens. Our stay was relaxing and we were sad when it was time to leave.

fantastic family reunion

The home and location couldn't have been better for our every other year family get-together. Plenty of room for all 11 of us and every convenience we could possibly need. The kids were torn between spending beach time and pool time...the pool and hot tube were both large and very enticing...the hot tube particularly on our rainy beach days!!! Thanks for sharing this lovely property with us!!!

Loved everything about it

Beautiful beach setting, the house was nicely decorated and well maintained. It had plenty of room for my adult children and their partners and we each had some space to ourselves. Everyone enjoyed the pool, the hot tub and the ocean front decks, as well as easy access to the beach and the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were already made! We would certainly recommend this home, and hope to return next year ourselves. The Walshes

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Stoner

Host profile image
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 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. We spent 5 months renovating and redecorating the home, giving it our personal touch. 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 Keys in the Conch Shell, 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 first enter Keys in the Conch Shell you will be blown away by the expansive views of the ocean! The beach is just steps away from the large deck which boasts an 8 ft custom picnic table and 6 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.
