We have stayed in homes all up and down the NC shore. This is the best one we have stayed in by far. It felt like home the minute we walked in the door. The cleanliness and attention to detail was evident. It was comfortable, well stocked and the location was superb. This home has been well loved and cared for.

While our stay occurred over the timeframe the remnants of the most recent hurricane came through that required more time inside than hoped, everyone in our family had a wonderful time. The pool and hot tub were heavily used and enjoyed due to the weather as opposed to beach time. The hosts ensured the home was extremely user friendly in every respect that made our stay much more enjoyable. Due to no fault of theirs, given the size of our family, it was challenging for everyone to gather in the living room together to watch football, etc. with a view to the TV. However, this gave my wife and I an excuse to hang out in the upstairs master bedroom and enjoy the wonderful view of the ocean. It's a warm and inviting space. We will certainly look to return sometime next year!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! While we certainly wish the weather had been better for your stay, we're delighted your family made the most of it and enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and all the comforts of the home. We put a lot of thought into the little details that make our guests' stays feel effortless, so it means so much to know you appreciated them. And we're glad you found a silver lining in those beautiful ocean views from the primary suite! It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we'd love to welcome you back next year for more sunshine and beach time! :)

We had an amazing stay at Holden Beach! The home was very clean, beautifully updated inside, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. We especially loved the pool and the easy beach access — it made spending time in the sun and sand so convenient and enjoyable. The layout and atmosphere of the home made it easy to truly unwind and enjoy our vacation.The only minor drawbacks were that the exterior could use a little TLC and the mattress in the master bedroom wasn’t the most comfortable. Even with those small issues, we absolutely loved our stay and would happily return again!
