Needs some love
We always have a great time wherever we go so we wouldn’t let all the little things ruin our vacation but there were some disappointments - for the expense the care of the property needs some improvements - landscaping (dead palm trees, weeds, no flowers, old wood decking thrown on property - needs painting outside - broken umbrellas and stands for no shade from the hot sun - broken table - luckily we had wire ties to hold up umbrella on broken table - grill filthy and only worked on high and burnt our dinner - broiler in oven didn’t work - linens just thrown on beds for us to make our beds. Ocean front was gorgeous - Management of the property had quick response to issues. With some love could be a 5

This was by far one of the best vacation home we've been to for memorial weekend where the beach is packed. Not here! In a gated community with private beach so we didnt have to battle with the crowd. House was spacious and clean. We would definitely come back.

Fantastic house for all adult groups. No bunk beds! Comfortable beds and great gathering areas throughout. We didn’t realize how nice it was to have 2 refrigerators. That really came in handy for us with 8 people. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and bowls etc. They provided a starter pack of dish detergent with sponges and dishwasher pods. We didn’t have to use the ones we bought and we washed dishes every evening. There was a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and was nice to have upon arrival. We brought our own linens/towels so cannot comment about linens provided in the summer. There were a lot of places to be in and out of the sun while outside. The neighborhood and beach area is fantastic! It was too chilly to use the pool but several enjoyed lounging by the pool. There were a lot of beach items under the house but we didn’t utilize them. We were kind of leery about using the elevator at first with all the cautions posted, but eventually we warmed up to it and used it especially to load on departure day. The owners have updated the beach walkway which was long but nice. The only cons were outdated, in need of repair, living room recliners and sofa. They were comfortable but recliners were a bit rough. The house was “surface clean” but we felt like it could use a good deep clean and vacuuming under furniture. The plus’s of the property far outweighed the few cons. We would definitely stay here again!

House was very well maintained inside…beautiful kitchen. Outside could use some TLC. Private pool was nice. You can’t see the ocean unless you are upstairs so while “on the beach”, it’s 225 steps from back porch.

Location, location ,location. Loved that the first floor as the gatherings floor. Enjoyed the pool and the private walkway to the beach. Would have liked a hot tub but the house had most all we wanted. I tried to rent bikes but the rental store was sold out- I didn't pre-rent because the house we stayed in last year had bikes for our use.

We loved our stay, the gated community made for a more private beach experience, the owners were easy to get ahold of, the house was HUGE and everything was super clean… only complaint id have which isn’t even really a complaint bc we got the house for such a good price.. the deck and a few other areas could use minor updating but wasn’t a big deal to us!!

This is one of the best places we've stayed at the beach! The pool was heated for our stay in early May and we had a private boardwalk to the beach, which was practically deserted. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and had two refrigerators. The beds and living room furniture were very comfortable. The home was very clean!! The host and mgmt co were very responsive and communicative. We'll definitely be back!

We stayed at this property for 5 days . It was perfect for our group of 4 older ladies. We were so thankful for the elevator, especially when unloading the car. The pool is wonderful. And of course the beach. The furniture is very comfy. The house seemed almost soundproof-no noise from tv’s or the elevator. The kitchen is well stocked with anything the cooks will need. We plan to come back to this lovely property.

Great Property, Great Beach
Our family stayed here for a little off season get-a-way in mid March. The house was fantastic inside and outside. The kitchen is large with lots of seating, 2 refrigerators, dishwasher, well stocked with utensils pots/pans and much more. The kids and us enjoyed the heated pool, ping pong, walking down to the beach, playing games inside and we had a couple movie nights on the giant TV in the livingroom - there was Netflix, Disney +, and more options. Each bedroom also had a TV. The beds were comfortable and each bedroom had a bath attached which was so nice. Everything was really clean and we felt comfortable right away. We brought our own pack/plays for our twins but i saw there was one pack/play in the master bedroom closet, which is a nice extra. All closets had extra pillows and blankets, which we didn't need but still nice. There are some games/cards stocked in the livingroom, so we had fun playing games with the kids on our colder day. The outside of the property was great for our family. There were a couple patio sets, lots of patio furniture/seating. The pool area had lots of lounge chairs. The outdoor grill was brand new. There were things like pool noodles, boogie board, inflatables for the beach and pool stored under the house. We left our beach toys there. We stocked up on groceries at the Food Lion (located 15min away) and just hung out at the house and enjoyed family time. It was a great property and fit our family well. We walked down the boardwalk multiple times a day to enjoy the beach - we had the entire beach to ourselves mid March, it was fantastic - very much a family oriented area. The walkway to the beach was not a problem for us at all but it does include steps and is further than I thought but like I said, didn't bother us. I talked with th property manager, Rob, on the phone prior to our stay and he was great answering my questions and helping me navigate the area. He also checked in with us after we got there and we actually ended up extending our stay at the house. Overall, we loved the property and our stay.

Only negative is house is 20 + years and all original decor so it’s dated. Not unusual for Holden Beach accommodations. Overall I give it an 8 out of 10.
