About this property

Footsteps from the wide beach and rolling waves, you and your family (including the 4 legged ones) will create memories on this peaceful, relaxing and safe beach. Only a 5 minute stroll down the beach and you'll be grabbing a bite to eat or a cold drink at one of the local restaurants, a slushy at Sunset Slush or picking up some saltwater taffy at the local candy shop. For maximum relaxation time you'll be rocking away on the cozy, large back porch and enjoying a sunrise or sunset view (from late fall to early spring you will enjoy both sunrises AND sunsets from the back porch on the same day!). Welcome to Life is Shore-t!
Many books, games, and puzzles await in the living area with plenty of space for everyone to spread out. A well-equipped kitchen is ready for you to make a family meal that can be enjoyed in the spacious dining room or at the outdoor picnic table. Two large, enclosed outdoor showers provides plenty of space to relax and cleanse after a long day at the beach. Even a fenced in dog area is available and ready for your pup. If some time away from the beach is in order, stretch your legs at the Holden Beach family park, basketball court and children's outdoor splash area, a 5 minute walk away. High speed (1 Gig internet) & fiber to the home.

This is a great beach house! They don't make them like this anymore, right? I love the familiar layout with the 4bd/2ba like so many beach houses we've rented over the years. It has gorgeous unobstructed views, and is dog friendly but still very clean. It made me wish I had a dog still. Plenty of pots and pans, glasses, coffee mugs. Great appliances too! We'll definitely be back!
The host was fantastic and incredibly accommodating! We really enjoyed the location! The house was super comfortable and relaxing. We appreciated how welcoming the house was for our two dogs.
Owners were great - prompt replies.House has all the little things done that make your stay like home - esp the plug in extensions for all electronics, phones, tablets.Very short walk to the beach & adequate beach depth once you access the beach.Very convenient getting on/ off the island.
Life is Shore-y is a comfortable, cozy, welcoming property. The view was terrific- lots of time on the porch. Our pup, Abby, made herself right at home on the dog bed. We enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants. Kym was a lovely host. A very enjoyable stay.
Overall, this house was the perfect choice for us. It's quiet and private with still being close to everything. The layout was awesome for 3 separate families.

Thank you so much for your response! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again in the future.
Large, comfortable beach house; many utensils, pots, pans, appliances, etc. good location, easy stair entrances, gate on back porch to keep dog safe; many restaurants, sandwich shops with a mile or so; we enjoyed our stay.
It was beyond perfect for our family as well as our dogs! You can tell the owners of the property really love dogs! Super close to the bridge and super close to the beach!
Absolutely the perfect location. Water was out the back door. Had a beautiful back porch facing the water. Very PET FRIENDLY!!! Everything about this location was perfect. Home was clean, comfortable bed. We only used one! Easy access in and out. Communication with owners was so smooth. Had everything we needed. Besides our own linens and towels. Which was clearly stated before we booked this beautiful home. We will stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our extended weekend stay at this delightful oceanfront home. The house is clean and comfortable, for us and for our dogs. We enjoyed being steps from the beach during fair weather, as well as enjoying the ocean beauty from the full-width covered porch or through the many windows from inside during wintry weather.
Enjoyed our stay immensely in this lovely home on the beach. Very clean and well maintained. My son and I visited Holden Beach for the first time and although the weather was cool it was a wonderful getaway.
We had a great time! The property had everything in place to ensure our stay was perfect. Noise makers by every bed, night lights, end tables where they were needed & blankets for the family room. The kitchen was very well stocked & the location is perfect! We will be back!
We had 3 generations plus dogs for a family vacation. This house was perfect for all of us! Close to the beach, beautiful view from the porch and walking distance to a coffee shop. We’ll definitely go there again!
The hosts were great and worked with us to make our stay enjoyable with four very young kids. Beautiful beach a stone throw away from the backdoor and two locations to wash down. Would definitely come back.

Thank you so much for your review! We are glad you had a wonderful experience and enjoyed our home!
This has been by far my favorite place we have stayed in Holden Beach! The location is perfect, such a beautiful home. Beds were comfortable and place was very clean! Very dog friendly(my pup loved it) I loved the dog guest book such a great touch ❤️Kym was very responsive if we needed something! My Brother even extended their stay for the rest of the weekend it was such a great place to stay and we will definitely want to book again!
Everything about this property was fabulous. The house layout is great. Even though it is a smaller house, the layout is open and feels bigger than it is. Everything we needed and more in the kitchen was provided. It was very dog friendly with a dog bed, bowl and toys for the pups. The proximity to the beach is just a short walk away. We loved the hose at the walkway, so we could rinse off after enjoying the beach. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing. The porch has plenty of seating. The hosts were responsive when we had questions and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I celebrated my 60th birthday here and it was everything I could have asked for. We enjoyed our time and wouldn't hesitate to return.
Great beachfront house! Very well outfitted. Holden is a wonderful family beach, and this house is in a great location. If you need a break from the beach you can walk to the beautiful intercoastal waterway in 5 min. Go and enjoy!
