Place needs a deep cleaning and several repairs. The dishwasher marginally worked after we cleaned the filter and drain area (disgustingly filthy). Hot water was spotty at best and overall water pressure was weak. Pool needed cleaning. Grass was not cut. Overall cleanliness was poor. Location was good. Needs TLC in many areas. Garage was nice item but it was trashed inside.

Great oceanfront home

Cute older beach house that is first row, direct beach access, and spacious. Layout worked well for us and the owners stopped by (after calling) and were extremely nice...even helped us get the pool heated after going back and forth with Vacasa about it. (just FYI, it's not explicit in the listing but you must pay for pool heating for the entire stay and they can turn it on from their end very easily).

Perfect in every way.

First of all there was a glitch with reserving the pool and management spoke to me online and on the phone and we solved it amicably. Hey, mistakes happen but it's how they are handled that makes or breaks things for us and it couldn't have been handled better. And for the record, my family really enjoyed the pool.Back to the stay. It was perfect. We were looking for a place to relax with our teenagers before the oldest heads to college in the fall. Teenage boys need their own space, Mommas need their boys nearby and Dads need a bit of both. This property was perfect. The fact that it was all on one floor meant the boys could each have their own space but not disappear. The kitchen was open so all 4 of us took turns making the big meal of the day but we were all around and available to help. The wall of windows looking out to the poarch and ocean was magnificent. We spent a good bit of time sitting out there with a cozy blanket and warm coffee's. One of the very best things was the walkway to the beach. Some houses we've stayed in have been beachfront but still quite a distance from the actual beach. Not this property. The walk to the beach was short and sweet, you didn't feel like you were committing to a hike just to go stand on the beach and gaze out to sea for a few minutes. Being near the ocean is our families happy place--this property only enhanced that. We will be back.

First time in Holden Beach

Great stay. Clean property, great use of the space. Direct beach access. Management responsive to issue with pool heater; refund received during our stay. Great shelling! Would recommend. Note to owner: the sliding doors for the shower in the Jack and Jill bath are installed backwards - if renters don’t notice this, they could flood it.

Great place

A little small for a large family but great location and well cared for house. Had we come in warmer weather having the little pool would be nice for the kids.
