It was really good! Perfect location for our family and easy walk to the beach. Comfortable set up. Outdoor shower is helpful for post-beach clean up. Great amenities. Would come again.
Communication with the owners was quick and easy. This place is the perfect little house for a beach stay. It was clean and cozy within a short walking distance to the beach.
We had an amazing stay at The Blue Anchor. The property was clean, quiet and within a short walking distance to the beach. Looking forward to a return visit in the future.
This property was perfect for our family vacation. It was clean and had many essentials needed. The beach is just a short walk and the property owner was great to communicate with. We visit Holden Beach a couple times a year or more and will definitely stay again.

It was a pleasure hosting you and your family! So glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next visit!
This was the 3rd year myself and my family have stayed at The Blue Anchor. We always rent the bed & bath apartment on the ground floor as well. We absolutely love it! The location is great! It's a short walk to the beach! I never have to worry about cleanliness or if the kitchen will have cookware I might need. There is a gas grill we have also used for delicious meals. We all love the floor plan of this charming vacation rental!
We had the best time in Holden Beach. We’ve never stayed here and it is the cutest little beach town. Our family of 5 felt right at home in this adorable beach cottage. Short walk to the beach, short walk to the intracoastal waterway and a short bike ride to the fishing pier, General Store and ice cream. Laura’s place is decorated so tastefully and it was so cozy. The kitchen was fully stocked, beds were comfortable and the den area was perfect for family movie nights. We will definitely stay here again now that we are head over heels for Holden Beach.

It was a pleasure having you and your family! I am so glad you fell in love with Holden Beach, just as we have. We hope you visiting again soon!
The house worked great for our family. We appreciated the short walk to the beach and use of the beach supplies in the basement. We did have some issues with the internet but the owner was always very responsive in trying to quickly resolve it for us. Some of the utensils and dishes were a bit dated/worn but otherwise the house had everything we needed. Thanks!
The house is absolutely lovely! Plenty of room very close to walking on the beach! Neighbors were so polite and welcoming. Plenty of parking space. My only suggestion is prior to arrival having more directions on where to locate items. The lock box holding the key was well hidden, we actually did not see it several times upon going on main porch as there are several entry doors. My suggestions do not alter my experience, we stay in many places and those houses that give written directions and even a book (binder) to reference rules or simple directions like trash or washing machine, expectations are easy to reference. I got nervous waiting for information prior to our arrival. I’m a planner and even 24 hour notice was pushing my anxiety. We were getting in late, and waiting for the message was nerve wracking because we were already on the road. Push that aside, the place was lovely, beds comfortable. Clean! And Holden beach is always great! The restaurant on the island was great! So much food!! Safe area! Kind people.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We had trouble with both AC units. Owner didn't leave the mini-split remote temp control available to us. AC Service had to come out twice, but it didn't help much.Some areas were not cleaned, hair in drain, trash in can and AC filter vent dirty
The same group stayed there last year with the exception of my husband. He passed away this past April. Myself, my son, his girlfriend and his youngest daughter go. We are also able to take my pet and my sons girlfriends pet. Both older female dogs each weighing less than 7#. And my oldest grandson was unable to make it, he got to go last year and stay a few days with us. We always meet up with my daughter and her family who are already at Holden Beach in a separate rental with her boyfriends family. They are all from Maryland, we are all from Georgia. We so much enjoy our time there at Holden Beach and we do love this rental!! We have also rented the downstairs apartment this year and last.
We loved our Blue Anchor beach rental at Holden Beach, NC this July 2022. Finding it on VRBO made the experience so easy. Everything we needed in my search was right there at my fingertips! And we were a short walk from the beach! Looking forward to years to come in future rentals!!
We had an amazing time at Holden beach! We loved the house we stayed in! Everything was decorated beautifully! The owner of the house was very prompt to respond to us! Can’t wait to come back!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay! We do offer discounts for repeat guests so let me know next time you are looking to get away! We look forward to hosting you again soon!
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Anchor. Really enjoyed the sitting on back porch with the fire pit after cooking dinner on the grill. Look forward to returning in the future.
We had an enjoyable stay. The house was clean and comfortable. The beach chairs and boogie boards were great to be able to use. Laura was easy to communicate with, responsive and accommodating. When we booked, the listing didn't state anything about a downstairs tenant. That was a bit of a surprise, but there was only one occasion when we had to wait for the outdoor shower. Overall a great stay.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again soon!
The Blue Anchor is a nice place to stay. The pictures online don’t do this house justice. My biggest like was the beach furniture & supplies that were provided. My family and I had a nice week.

This was a fantastic place to stay at Holden. The pictures don’t do it justice! Perfect size for a family. It had ALL the beach accessories you could imagine which was really helpful (our toddler decided she wanted to be a big kid at the beach and needed her own chair). Short walk to the beach and wonderful patio area to rock on after a long day. Great and quick communication with Laura! Will be looking to come back for our next visit.
