There were 10 of us: my daughter and husband, children ages 15, 13, 12, my son and wife, children 9, 6 and myself. We really needed another bed to sleep 10 comfortably so we brought a single blow up bed. But it worked. Also could use more chairs for the dining room table - only 6 for a house sleeping 10. The kitchen was well stocked but we did need a CAN OPENER.
Loved the location on the beach. And with the porch which was shady most of the day we were all comfortable - that was the pleasant surprise. I was surprised that we did not feel crowded. Great outside shower that helped us keep the rental clean. We had exceptional weather and a great stay. Holden Beach is great.
