Only ONE room and bathroom. The refrigerator was full of food from other people (condiments, luncheon meat and eggs) AC/HEAT did not work, (claimed it was user error) dirty dishes in the cabinet, (claimed they were stratches) towels and couch cover smelled like wet dog, bed was so squeaky you couldnt roll over without it waking us, door was standing wide open when we arrived.When we addressed the problems with the owner he made all sorts of excuses or blamed us. DO NOT RECOMMEND

About the host

Hosted by Mike Field

Host profile image
Born and raised in Miami Fla. I love the opportunity to hosts and interact with guests and my properties in Holden Beach.

Why they chose this property

Holden Beach a quaint beach town that is unlike any other beach due to its lack of high rises and small town atmosphere.

What makes this property unique

Egret & Sandpiper are original beachfront cottages that allow you to enjoy the beach without having to stay at a huge house with unwanted space. We cater to couples and small families and provide everything they will need for their stay. I am local and always available should an issue arise.
