Super close to the beach access. Had everything you need for a beach vacay! ##### Christina P. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Carolyn J. 30 Nov 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Dirty It has a lot of potential. However, it needs upgrading and repair. The stairs leading down to the unfinished garage where the 2nd full bath is located is dangerous as the hand rail is cheap and the stairwell steep. The stairs leading from the top floor to the street are also steep and there are rusty nails on the bottom of the hand rail. My biggest gripe is that the entire place was filthy. I am sure the cleaning woman needs to be replaced. Dust and wrappers etc were under every bed and the cabinets in the kitchen. The fan blades had a half an inch of dust as did the drapes that touched every bed in the home.the washer and dryer were rusty. To washed the blankets as they were dirty and I washed the throw rugs on the floor. The pots and pans were crappy. There was a long piece of tape in the kitchen that hung freely to catch any flying insects. The sofa and loveseat cushions were stained and needed a good wash. The positives: the killer view of the ocean across the street and the new wood chairs on the deck. Sorry Keith but you really need a crew to get in there and make it smell good. ##### Carolyn J.

Had a view of the ocean from deck, house was clean and the property manager was easy to contact if we had any questions. My family and I were very comfortable. The fire stick needs to be upgraded as we were having trouble pulling up movies to watch. But overall the house was great! We plan on using it again in the future. Thank you so much! ##### Richard S.

Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tamie H. 5 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming home with easy beach access This was our first visit to Holden Beach. The house was exactly as pictured except the owner has added some very comfortable outdoor seating on the deck. We spent mornings and evenings sitting outside watching and listening to the ocean. The location was perfect for us - close to restaurants (I highly recommend Mermaids Island Grill) and Sunset Slush (Italian Ice) within a 3 minute drive along with a Public Beach access diagonally across from the driveway. There is also another Public Beach access one block away from the house. Keith, the owner, was very responsive in answering my questions prior to us arriving and also messaged us the day after checkin to ensure we had everything we needed. The home was very clean, seemed to be recently updated, and had a nice and comfortable charm to it - we look forward to our next stay!! ##### Tamie H.
