The location of the house is at the end of the island so it is super private. The pool was great but the pool furniture was in rough shape. The house could use some TLC. Small fixes and improvements could go a long way but the house was clean enough for us and we had a great trip! ##### Rebecca P.

Beach town was small but clean. Several nice restaurants. House location was at far end of island which made the beach much less crowded. Beautiful beach and dunes and sunsets. House was spacious but furniture old. Deck furniture was falling apart. Kitchen very well stocked. Would definitely return. ##### Randall P.

Furniture was comfy and homey. The house was clean and check in / check out process was easy with electric keypad lock. We did have to bring our own bath and beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, soap, toiletries, laundry detergent, cooking supplies, spices etc so just be prepared to stock on supplies! Overall, was a great house with plenty of rooms and baths for 5 girlfriends. ##### Megan S.

The area that we stayed in was quiet and peaceful. My problem was that it looked like it had prior damage but that was minor. And the hand rail in the pool was definitely something that should be repaired. ##### Cindy H.

The location at the end of Ocean Blvd in a gated area with very few homes nearby was perfect - the beaches were very quiet and open. We found shells, held hermit crabs and sand crabs, walked out on the sandbar at the inlet at low tide, caught bass and blues from the shore, pet sharks and horse-shoe crabs at the pier. The only negative is that we couldn't stay longer! Amazing place that we would book again in a heartbeat. Proactive Vacations was great to work with, too - they were incredibly responsive to our questions and gave us a lot of guidance about our stay. ##### Brooke K.

House was great and loved the pool and hot tub. Plenty of TV’s which means a lot with large family and some rainy days. Kitchen well supplied. Would stay here again. First time at Holden and enjoyed the laid back beach. No wait while eating out. ##### Fred H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joan S. 25 Jun 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house and beach!
