Luxury Accommodations

The spacious oceanfront primary suite is truly a retreat of its own, featuring a private sitting area that's perfect for morning coffee, reading, or remote work. Step onto your private balcony to watch the sunrise from custom Adirondack chairs, then unwind in the newly renovated spa-inspired ensuite with double vanities and a luxurious walk-in shower.

Two additional bedrooms feature private ensuite bathrooms, while two others share a Jack-and-Jill bath; offering the perfect setup for families. The kids will love having a retreat of their own with custom bunk beds, a Smart TV, gaming chairs, board games, and plenty of room for movie nights and sleepovers.

Outdoor Living at Its Best

Life at the beach is meant to be lived outdoors, and Keys offers countless places to soak it all in.

Spend your afternoons beside one of Holden Beach's largest oceanfront pools, soak in the oceanfront hot tub beneath the stars after a day on the beach, enjoy lunch at the custom oceanfront picnic table, or fire up the Weber grill for an evening cookout for seating for 6 at the oceanfront poolside dining table. We also provide 12 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, pool floats, and sand toys so you can pack lighter and enjoy more.

One of our favorite things about Keys is its location. You're within walking distance of local restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, candy stores, the Holden Beach Pavilion, live music, pickleball courts, basketball courts, and family-friendly activities—making it easy to park the car and simply enjoy island life.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Stoner

Host profile image
We first discovered Holden Beach while vacationing here with friends and instantly fell in love with its quiet charm, natural beauty, and relaxed pace. In 2015, we purchased Keys in the Conch Shell, and three years later added Sunshine in My Soul so we could share this special place with even more families.

After our son, Nathan, left for UNC Chapel Hill, we moved from the Charlotte area to Holden Beach in 2024 because we believed being local would allow us to provide an even better guest experience. Today, we're building the home we've always dreamed of—a reflection of how deeply we love this community and the life we're creating on the North Carolina coast.

For more than a decade, we've welcomed families from across the country, and it's a privilege to know our homes have become part of so many cherished traditions. As local owners, we personally care for every detail of our homes and love helping guests discover Holden Beach through our favorite restaurants, boutiques, local experiences, and hidden treasures.

More than a place to stay—an experience to remember.

Thoughtfully curated homes. Local hospitality. Lasting family memories.

Why they chose this property

Holden Beach captured our hearts because it offers something that's becoming increasingly rare—a slower pace, uncrowded beaches, breathtaking sunrises, and a genuine sense of community. It's a place where families reconnect, children make lifelong memories, and time seems to slow down.

Living here gives us the opportunity to share the Holden Beach we know and love. Whether you're looking for the best seafood, a relaxing spa day, unique boutiques, boating adventures, or the perfect spot to watch the sunset, we're always happy to share our favorite local experiences to help make your vacation even more memorable.

What makes this property unique

At Keys in the Conch Shell, luxury isn't just about the home—it's about the experience.

In 2025, we thoughtfully renovated every space, transforming the home into a beautifully curated coastal retreat designed for today's families while preserving everything we love about oceanfront living.

With breathtaking ocean views, private beach access, a heated pool and hot tub, spacious gathering areas, and multiple oceanfront balconies, Keys offers the perfect setting for everything from peaceful mornings watching the sunrise to evenings spent reconnecting after a day at the beach.

As local owners, we continually invest in thoughtful improvements, quality furnishings, and the little details that make every stay exceptional. We believe true luxury is found not only in beautiful surroundings, but in personalized hospitality and genuine local care. Our goal is simple: to create the kind of vacation your family will treasure—and look forward to returning to—year after year.
