My husband, daughter and I stayed in this home for our yearly family October vacation. Holden beach is beautiful, quaint, and quiet. This home is good for the money, but could really use a better cleaning and some updates. The carpet was peeling up in the downstairs bedroom, the ceiling was peeling in the upstairs bathroom, there was a blanket in the closet that smelled like it needed to desperately be washed, the lights on the stairs outside were burnt out and there was a piece of wood missing from the back porch which a small child could easily fall through. Toaster smelled like it was going to catch fire when we tired to use it and made a horrific buzzing sound, air conditioning will not go below 68 degrees and the downstairs bedroom got extremely warm at night. Good location, great view of the ocean, and house is spacious with comfortable furniture.
