This property was extremely clean and suited our family perfectly. It is a short walk to the beach and a very quiet neighborhood. The heated outdoor pool was nice and a definite plus. Would definitely rent again. Holden beach in March is so nice. No traffic and no wait times.

Nice house, close to beach

The house was just as described and what we saw in the photos. Parking was easy for 2 cars. The house was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of cups, plates, utensils and cookware in the kitchen. The outdoor pool and sitting area were perfect for our group with 4 kids. We were glad for the pool towels that were available at the house. We loved the short walk to the beach. And the host was friendly and responsive. Thank you for hosting us in your lovely home.

Family mini vacation

Our family truly enjoyed staying a few days at the house. The pool was a plus and made the trip that much more fun. The beach was just a short walk across the street and was not over crowded. Pretty much everything was provided in the home and the beds were super comfortable. We will return next year and highly recommend renting this house. The host responded to messages quickly and very gracious.

LOVE!

Perfect distance from the beach access & amazing private pool. We had kids as young as 1 year old and this property was perfect / very safe. There’s an alarm on the sliding door to the back porch that can be turned on and off to ensure no children get out alone. We spent so much time out back by the pool. I couldn’t rave about this house any more! It accommodated our family perfectly. The only thing about being this far down ocean Blvd is that there isn’t much that is close by. It’s about a 10-15 min drive to any restaurants or coffee shops. We didn’t mind this too much though. We can’t wait to book again!

Lovely Family Vacation

Absolutely fantastic beach house for our family vacation! From the breathtaking ocean views to the spacious and beautifully decorated interiors, every aspect exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was fully equipped, making meal prep a breeze, and the bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed lazy mornings on the sun-drenched patio and evenings looking at stars on the beach. The proximity to the beach was unbeatable, allowing us to easily come and go throughout the day. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring our stay was flawless. We couldn't have asked for a better home base for our beach getaway. Five stars all around – we'll definitely be back and can’t wait to swim in that pool!

A great beach retreat

We enjoyed our stay very much at this house. It was exactly as pictured online, everything was clean, had a well stocked kitchen, and super convenient beach access. Our kids enjoyed the yard and we enjoyed relaxing on the back deck. Communication with the host was always helpful and prompt. We would stay here again for sure.

This property was fantastic. Short walk to beach. The house was clean and spacious! We were 7 women on a week long holiday all the way from NY. One small recommendation… the beds are not of greatest comfort. However we will be back and we will share this location w all our friends and family :)
