We loved the house and the location was perfect, walking distance to ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. We wish the pool was a bit more in the sun and a view of the beach, but for rainy days it was perfect!

Loved our family week at the beach!
This house had everything we needed for a relaxing week at the beach with family! We were 11 adults and two dogs. The private walkway to the beach was so nice to have. The breeze that comes off the ocean and through the pool/grill area was heavenly. We had minor electrical issues when first checking in, but the owner was very responsive and had it fixed right away. Holden Beach is clean, safe and family friendly. We walked across the street to the all the restaurants and for ice cream in the evenings. We loved our stay!

Long Weekend Birthday celebration
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful house on Holden Beach. It was so well equipped and had everything we needed and didn’t know we needed! It was great having 2 restaurants basically right outside our door and a cute coffee shop to get our morning coffees. The owners are wonderful and so accommodating. Thanks so much for a great weekend and we look forward to another time we can enjoy it. Lisa

Beautiful beach home
Our family had an amazing time at this house. The checkin process was seamless, the house was clean with ample space. The beach was only a short walk away. We absolutely loved our stay.
Restaurants and ice cream were within walking distance as well as a little park for the kids to play at.
We saw dolphins swimming daily. Absolutely beautiful location. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved this house. The pool was great, and the indoor activities were great for a rainy day. The kids had their own floor and loved it. Great views.

Beautiful home, great location
We loved our stay - plenty of room to spread out. The house is absolutely beautiful. My only nit was the cleanliness of the house (we spend the first day cleaning the floors, elevator, etc). I would also suggest that the bunk bed rooms both be at the back of the house so that all rooms facing the ocean are for adults.

Our family of 18 comfortably fit in this house. It was clean, updated, and had a fully stocked kitchen. The direct beach access was key. The heated pool was used everyday. The hosts were super friendly and helpful with any questions we had. There we’re restaurants close by and a food lion 4 minutes away. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful home with a beautiful view!!
This house is the perfect home for a large group or a few families. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The elevator was great for bringing everything we brought with us up and then back down when we left. Enjoyed the short walk to both bar restaurants close by and the golf cart was great to get to the little store down the road and for site seeing. I would highly recommend this home and Stellar Beach Realty. Allie was absolutely great to deal with :)

Right on the water
I thought this was a very nice property. The listing was accurate and the house worked well for my family and extended family. Loved the outdoor shower for getting the sand off. Loved the access to the beach. Would have liked the path to have been clearer but it was nice that there was a direct path from the property to the beach.

Great place to celebrate a birthday
We had never stayed at Holden Beach and thought we would try something different. The check in process was seamless. The house is right on the water and was played out perfectly for our group of 8 (4 couples). We cooked most of our meals, but did walk the 3 minutes to one of the local spots for dinner. The best thing about this property is the property management company. They have amazing customer service and are so friendly. Also, the pictures and descriptions are true to their word. We will definitely be back - when it’s a little warmer . 5 stars all the way around!

Wonderful!
The house was perfect for our needs. The manager and owner were pleasant, very helpful, and responded quickly to our questions. They went out of their way to get new things in the house for the two toddlers we had in tow. Above and beyond! Kitchen well appointed and there are 3 refrigerators! The beach closet was well stocked with all things “beachy” which was great that we did not have to bring our own chairs and toys. We loved that the pool was in the shade after the hot sun on the beach. Proximity to 3 restaurants was fantastic. We did not encounter any street noise even though several bedrooms are on the street side. We can’t wait to return. Thank you Hypnotic for making our family vacation special!

Large Family Vacation
The house is large and right on the beach with adequate access. The shaded pool was a nice break from the sun on the beach and the owner was able to heat it remotely upon request. The kitchen did not have a lot of storage for a large family’s supplies and the beds were uncomfortable, but otherwise the house was spacious and had what we needed. The house is very close to the bridge and to public access, so traffic was audible from street-facing bedrooms, and the beach filled up quickly in the mornings. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Large family gathering
Four families stayed here with kids 4-17. Everyone loved it! Plenty of space to spread out. Excellent beach location! Some reviews mentioned not having private beach access, but it does now. Excellent communication with management. We plan to return!
Some things for the owner to consider:
- Better mattresses - hard and uncomfortable.
- Bigger and more comfortable couch upstairs
- Heating the pool in the off season

So bright and clean
Excellent location with 3 restaurants that you could walk to across the street. The beach access is closer than we thought it would be so we didn’t mind not having our on private walkway. The house looks brand new with new kitchen appliances, and new TVs in every room that have access to Spectrum cable, YouTube, Hulu, Prime Video, and Netflix. It was very clean and nothing looks very used at all. The elevator was perfect for my elderly mother in law and we never had any problems with it.

Hypnotic Review
The house was everything listed plus some. The location was fabulous! It was very spacious. The cleanliness was alright. Dishes were put away dirty and we had to wash them prior to using them. The was sand on the floors and dog hair in the stairwell. I would recommend heating the pool. It would have been nice to have been able to swim in it on rainy days. The air conditioner on the top floor stopped working two nights prior to leaving. Side note: I would definitely stay here again!
