our family stayed here and loved it. the property backs on to marshland with plenty of wildlife and a great way to do some bird watching. The front of this property looks out at the ocean and you can hear the waves. Much more spacious than we thought. Eric was so easy to deal with and we are considering renting this home again.

We stayed here for a week with our 3-year-old daughter last July and had a wonderful time. The condo was comfortable and had beautiful views that helped get us into the relaxed, beach vacation spirit (we live in NYC!). Eric was so helpful and easy to work with, and even mailed us some items we left behind without charge. I vacationed at Holden as a kid each year, and our experience here brought back all of my great childhood memories; was thrilled to pass that on to my daughter. We look forward to staying here again and would recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing, easy vacation.

We vacationed with our family of five and had a awesome time. The cottage was really nice and you have the best of both worlds a view of the ocean and one of the waterway! Also you have a added bonus of open land behind you with deer and other wildlife to view. This is the first time we have rented from just the owner and would do it again!Eric was very easy to work with and never minded if you had a question he said just call him! We booked it at the last minute and everything was just as he described.I would recommend renting thru Eric he was a pleasure to work with he made the whole process very simplified. Also you cannot beat the awesome neighbor you will have a chance to meet! Eric FYI the deer do swim to the Island very interesting! Thank you Eric for a wonderful vacation will remember you in the future. Cottage is very clean and well kept up.

Just returned from Holden. The duplex was very nicely decorated, and loved all the decks and views. The two bedrooms both appear to be the master; we couldn't tell the difference (other than the view). Enough space for two friends and their 5 children. Walk to beach takes approximately 5 minutes. Neighbor has lived in opposite side for 20 years and she's very sweet. Would recommend.

I brought my daughter and her husband for their last vacation before the arrival of their first child. We wanted a beach trip that had the best beach and waves for boogie boarding and raft wave riding as well as a wonderful relaxing beach home. The views are unrivaled with the intercoastal waterway in the back and the ocean in the front. It was perfect and pristine. The sounds of the seabirds, sights of the sailboats, and smell of the salt air was the absolute best! The place is roomy, yet intimate and well appointed. I will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay at your home. It is hard to find a home small enough for just 4, but close enough to walk to the beach & nice! Your home fit the bill perfectly. This was our first time at Holden Beach & we loved it also. The beach was never crowded at the access near your home.

Just returned from Holden Beach on Saturday. Duplex was very plesant and beachy. Loved sitting on the deck and listening to the ocean. Very peacful. If you like frogs this is the place for you. Home is decorated with lots of them. Such a nice quiet area. I'm sure we will be back.

My family was staying at Holden Beach and asked for my girlfriend and i to visit. We couldn't stay with them, so my sister gave me the site with the information on this place. We called Eric and the day we were supposed to leave, he agreed to let us rent on 2 days notice. The place was so relaxing. The 2 days felt like a week. We were able to see my family and then retreat back to our own little place. We will definitely be staying again.

I stayed for a solo retreat in this beautiful duplex, got lots of writing done, took long walks along the back streets and lots of swims out-to-sea, picked several quarts of blackberries from around the neighborhood (in May!), and thoroughly enjoyed the decks and porches and watching the sailing ships glide silently by from the upstairs rooms. The owners were extremely gracious and cared very much for this dwelling and its guests; they were very accomodating about arrival and departure times, and allowed me to call with any questions. It was my first time renting a place site-unseen, on-line, from an owner, so I was slightly worried. It turned out to be the perfect solution and could not have gone better. I recommend it to any person or family who wants a quiet view of the inland waterway (and, from upstairs, the ocean!), a quick path to the beach, a wonderful, quiet and kind older neighbor named "Happy," and a bright, uplifting sunny kind of interior. Please take care of this treasure! from Liza, a Virginia writer

What a great get-away! We vacationed at this house over a weekend and wish we could have stayed longer. It was very neat, clean and we would definitely visit again! This is a great place for family, a group of friends or just a couple of people!

We had a wonderful stay at this house.The house was spacious and beachy with only a short walk to the beach. The beach itself is never crowded. Holden beach is a great vacation spot and this house exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to return next summer.

We loved staying at Holden Beach!! Being able to enjoy the veiw of the ocean from the front and the intercoastal from the rear was an added bonus. Your home is very family freindly with careful thought given to all of your guests needs. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.

Peaceful & quiet! A quaint area and very cozy home, nice neighborhood - bbq'd every night on the deck, sipped coffee on the front porch in the warm beach breeze. Little bit of a walk to the beach, but it was worth it! Look forward to a return visit next year!

If you are looking for a wonderful family beach location, this is it! We had a wonderful experience at this house. Each bedroom has it's own private deck facing either the ocean or the inlet. There was plenty of room for my wife and I and our 4 kids. We are making plans on coming back in the near future. Thank You!
