Great place to stay. Nice and clean, quiet neighborhood.pet friendly. Just a short walk to the beach, this is our second time staying here, so you can tell we liked the place .
The kitchen had everything you could ever need. All the rooms and bathrooms were very clean. Very short walk to the beach. Yard was very pet friendly. Loved our stay
This rental was in an excellent location, being a very short walk to the beach. The house was roomy, kitchen was well stocked, & nice front & back porches to enjoy with a small view of the ocean. There were books, puzzles & games furnished. The host responded promptly during our communication and was very understanding when we requested to make a change in our reservation at the last minute. The neighborhood was quiet and it was a relaxing place to stay.
Cute little house and location had everything we needed will definitely be back

Older house one block from the beach. Area was empty of people, but it was a wintertime visit. Home is old but very clean and tidy. Excellent wi-fi and TV reception. Had to call owner for correct wi-fi password. He was very helpful. Would return.
The home was a great size clean and in a great location the manager was easy to stay in touch with overall 10/10 experience definitely will be booking again
We very much enjoyed our stay at “Gone Fishing.”It was the perfect size for our family and the beach was easy to get to. Byron was a great host, and available when we needed something.. we will definitely come back.
Love the rockers on the front porch, comfortable beds and seating. The only negative (out of the owner's control) is that a neighbor diagonally from the back of the property hosted a loud party one night, which has not been an issue in past years at this location, but could be drowned out by the tv.
We arrived Friday evening to a clean house. Everything we needed was provided for. It was a great weekend getaway. We appreciate the hosts for the stay.
This property was exactly as described. It is a simple, cute little classic cottage that was perfect for us and our dogs. The owners provided thoughtful amenities that many properties lack. If we go back to Holden Beach, I would definitely rent this house again!
I grew up visiting Holden Beach as a child and the Ritter’s home brought back so many memories. The home is located in a prime area in between the ocean and intercoastal. We had lots of space to spread out, plenty of beds, and the kitchen was fully equipped. We look forward to staying here again.
We had a wonderful time!! The location of the house in relation to the island was great. A short walk to the beach access was very convenient. A great place to make memories with family! Would definitely stay again!
We had alittle hiccup when we first arrived, Byron was quick to fix the problem. The kitchen was well stocked, we cooked wonderful fresh seafood dinners almost every night we were there. The house is very comfortable, wonderful vibe. Our kitty cat was very happy from the moment we arrived. Easy walk to the beach. We would stay here again if its available.
