#### Great location some essentials missing for prices
Loved the location of this house, beach front and walkable distance to restaurants. Bedrooms were nice and clean. Be aware that several of the doors including bathroom and bedroom doors were slated (like shutters) which reduced privacy. The kitchen wasn’t as well stocked as we are use to in rentals missing strainer and limited knives, pot sizes ect… the back porch had a beautiful view but the porch was small, not covered, and plastic chairs made it less comfortable to sit on. The ground level back had no beach view so using the swing was nice but unable to see beach or any view.

#### December cottage in August
House was very nice. First stay at Holden Beach. Loved it. The decor of the house was not my style. Kinda dark and museum like and kitchen was not well stocked but would definitely consider staying there again.
