About Susy Wrenn
We live in a 90 year old home Greensboro, NC and love to travel and have actually used VRBO ourselves several times!
Susy Wrenn purchased this cottage in 1999
Why Susy Wrenn chose Holden Beach
We bought "Gimme Shelter" in 1999 because we both love the beach and grew up spending summers on the coast. It has become our perfect sanctuary for getting away from it all and totally relaxing. During the difficult times of our life it has provided just the therapy we needed and in good times it has and continues to be the most wonderful place to bond with family and entertain friends.
What makes this cottage unique
We chose this house because of its easy floor plan and of course its Porches! No matter the season or the weather, we spend a lot of time enjoying the front and back porches. Our house is the basic "H" plan which is 2 bedrooms on each side with bathrooms between and a big open common area. It offers great times all together but also privacy when needed. The front area is paved as is underneath the house which provides good parking as well as another area to hang out. We love our outside shower with paintings done by a family member. We decided we wanted the décor of our house to be geared more towards comfort and an "older" beach house feel so we have enjoyed decorating it that way. So if you are looking for shiny, new beachy furnishings, this is not the house for you, but if you are looking for a quaint, interesting, relaxing house, it is for you!

Reviews
Excellent!
4.3/5 -
(6 traveler reviews)
The house was spacious and clean.
Very comfortable for our family of 5 and could easily have shared it with another (perhaps smaller) family. The beach chairs and cart were a nice addition with lots of puzzles and books to entertain the kids. The Wifi worked great even on the rainy day when my son and I played on the Xbox (which we brought) and two others were watching Netflix on different devices.
Good location, air conditioner very inefficient, got up to 80 plus degrees in afternoon and evening.
Good location, poor air condition got up to 80 plus degrees in afternoon and evening, some beds very uncomfortable, too many “whicky wacks” everywhere.
Great beach getaway!
Convenient location, easy access to the beach. A short drive to restaurants and local shops.
Lovely get away, great location!
We loved staying here for a family reunion -- great location, well-equipped house, clean, up to date, nicely laid out and furnished. Great porches and easy, comfortable home. Hosts are very friendly and easy to work with! Holden Beach is a wonderful place, lots of great beach and some good restaurants, wonderful waterway, beautiful setting. We will definitely be back!
Very Relaxing and Great Views
My family and I had a fantastic stay at Gimme Shelter. The house was plenty big and had fantastic views from the front and back porches. Lucky for us the lot across the street has not been developed so for the second row price you get a front row view. I may have brought my whole kitchen down with me, but I did not need to because the kitchen was well stocked. I grew up coming to Holden Beach to visit my grandparents who lived there full time and this house gave me that comfortable and nostalgic feeling I was looking for. Thanks again!
Loved it!
Brought my parents and other family members to Holden beach for the first time. This property was perfect. Within walking distance of beach access, ice cream parlor, general store, peir, diner and souvenir shop.
More than enough dishes and cooking utensils. A Weber grill which we used to cook steak, chicken and hot dogs all in one evening. An outdoor hot/cold shower which makes it sooooo nice after coming back from the beach.
I had a few questions upon arrival which the owner answered promptly and was very helpful.
Spent every morning drinking coffe on the back deck which overlooks the inner coastal water.
Hoping to visit again next summer.
Map

The intracoastal waterway, beautiful sunsets, fresh seafood, great restaurants make it a special place to enjoy a vacation. In addition the historic, quaint town of Southport is only 27 miles away. The beautiful port city of Wilmington is only 37 miles north and Myrtle Beach SC is 52 miles south.
