"Great stay"

Welcome to Irie Vibes!

10/10 Excellent

"Property is wonderful in a quiet neighborhood. Everything was perfect with stocked kitchen, pool and beach equipment, including a cart to wheel everything to the beach. The beach is just a couple minute walk and is never crowded. We will be back again!"

Stunning Ocean Front Home W/ Private Pool 4BR 4 1/2 Bath and Brand New Kitchen

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay! One thing that ended up not being an issue at all but was surprising, was the kitchen/living room is on the top floor and all bedrooms are on bottom! Like I said it was not an issue it was just the first beach house we’ve seen like that! Trip was great and the house and pool were fantastic! Owner is great!"

Holden Beach House / Short 5 minute walk to Beach / Perfect Family Vacation Home

"Property is amazing!"

Isle Oasis. Oceanfront. Elevator, Heatable Pool, Drct Bch Access. Grt Location.

8/10 Good

"Overall we were pleased! The cleaning team could have done a better job with the beds and soap. Great access to the beach! The pool was small and under cover from the above deck and you couldn’t see the beach or ocean from the pool because of the dunes. Kids really enjoyed the television access in their rooms and by the pool. Location convenient to walk to restaurants, coffee shop and candy store! It was comfortable for us-four adults and six kids! The host was attentive to our requests."

"Tides a Wastin' " Private Pool w/Opt Heat, Hot Tub, Tiki Bar, Elevator

10/10 Excellent

"Great house for our 4 families and the host was wonderful. Lots of extras for our 3 little ones and loved having our own bathrooms with each bedroom. The dining room table was beautiful and all 11 of us enjoyed breakfast and dinners there. The high chair and pack n play was a bonus, especially since we flew and were limited on space. The extra beach chairs and umbrella really came in handy and the pool (whole back yard) was awesome. Some things could have used some attention (shower curtains and the air vents in particular) but overall would love to stay here again."

Attractive & Dog-Friendly Beachfront House w/Private W/D, AC, Free WiFi, & Patio

10/10 Excellent

"Great little place on the beachfront! It has lots of charm and character. It's one of the older houses in Holden, which we preferred. If you're not expecting luxury finishes/fixtures, you can score a great deal on this property. It's obvious from the listing, that you don't have an ocean view, because it's not built on stilts (so book elsewhere if that's going to affect your trip). You can clearly hear the ocean, and we could see slivers of it over the dunes, just standing on the back patio. It is a small place, which we loved, so we didn't have to rent a 4 bedroom place for just the two of us. We also loved that we could bring our dog along without outrageous pet fees added on. My only unmet (and very minor) expectation, was that we couldn't use the gate to the beach, or the back patio stairs. Both are grown over with vegetation that will scratch you in the face and catch your clothing. We could easily step over the fence to get around this, but it seems an easy fix to just cut some of the branches away. Otherwise, the beach access was super close and convenient, and besides the occassional car doors or people talking, it was relatively quiet at this public access point. We did see occassional police monitoring the area, even at night. This East end of Holden Beach is so much easier to get in and out of than the West end. AC was nice and cool inside, and the outdoor shower was so nice to rinse off all the beach sand! We hope to return soon!"
