The heated pool was an excellent cherry on top after a day on the beach. Because there are large empty lots on either side of the house, the house feels very private. It was the most beautiful stay I've ever had on the coast of North Carolina. We often felt like we were on a private beach. September sounds like an excellent time to visit! ##### DY O.

Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was our first visit to Holden Beach and we enjoyed everything about our stay. We loved the convenient boardwalk to the beach, to get out to watch the birds and look for shells. We especially appreciated the privacy and quiet provided by the expansive property. The Babington House is a beautiful home with everything we needed. It was clean and thoughtfully prepared for our stay. The upstairs porch offers sweeping views of the dunes and ocean for sunrises and sunsets and quiet moments in between. From the beginning of our planning until the end of our visit, Robert was responsive to all our questions and pleasant in all communications. We highly recommend the Babington House at Holden Beach for a memorable vacation. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d8c26355-73cd-4ead-9a04-ddc5549a552d-1761595857276.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ron A.

It was very helpful to have separate bathrooms and adequate spaces (beach, pool, upstairs and downstairs decks, and lower level parking) for alone time when needed. Perks like multiple coffee pots, an ice maker, a very-well stocked kitchen, multiple hoses for spraying off, and a fish-cleaning station were all very convenient. ##### Leslie P.

The owners are top notch communicators and help with anything needed. We were in a bind due to storm that dropped two feet of rain and left us houseless for our vacation at our original booking in Bald Head Island. Within hours we were able to pivot and secure Babington and had a perfect rest of our vacation with friends from around the country ##### frank c.

You just can’t beat the privacy you get wit the Babington house. The pool is exceptional!!! Only issue we had was the downstairs master bathroom had an extra moldy shower curtain. I was very disappointed as the price paid for the week I think allowed us clean showers. Overall I’d say 8/10\. ##### Jessica T. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie A.

The house was incredibly clean, with a very well-stocked kitchen! The ice machine was convenient added bonus. The pool and large deck were clean and a great place to end a day at the beach. The beach itself was near private thanks to the sprawling property the house is on. Even with the privacy, shops and restaurants are still less than 15 minutes away. A fantastic time was had by all, and we would definitely return to The Babington for future family vacations! ##### Natalie A. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark C.

We cooked several times and found absolutely everything we needed. The fish cleaning/grilling area is really nice. The pool area is beautiful. The owner is great to communicate with, but we had absolutely no issues at all. The privacy of this house and the beach area will make it hard to vacation anywhere else again!

From booking the house to the end of our family vacation, the process was straightforward and communication with Robert was the best. He responded immediately to every question we had. We even asked for a favor the during our stay and he graciously agreed even though it was more effort on his part. The home was just as described and every detail was was explained in writing so we knew exactly what to expect. The house was super clean and everything worked perfectly. The ice machine was very useful. Four full bathrooms made it really easy for all of us to clean-up after a day on the beach. Walking out the door and down the walkway to the private beach was super easy. The pool made it extra fun for the kids who were too young to spend all day at the beach. We enjoyed a special treat when a nest of sea turtles hatched and made their way down to the water. This was the best VRBO experience we have had to date and the whole family agreed that they would love to visit again. Thank you, Robert! ##### Diann R.

Although mother nature was less than agreeable with beach weather the house was absolutely perfect. Spotless in every way, and had every amenity one could possibly think of. Robert was above and beyond communicative and an absolute five star host. We cooked every meal ant the house and utilized the local fish markets and grocery stores. my experience in the past is that we always have to bring extra things. This house had absolutely everything and more and everything was completely clean, functional and usable. ##### frank c. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### NIchole D.

We have switched up locations a few times based on our growing family needs. Babington was one of our favorites! Love the beach front location, plus pool!! Great porch to chill in the rocking chairs and watch the ocean. Some perks we enjoyed...ice maker, didn't realize how great it is to have!! Pool and Umbrellas! Outdoor shower! All beds have two pillows per sleeper ( as a pillow person, this is rare to find in a rental- pleasamt surprise). If you haven't stayed on this end of Holden, the house is less than a mile from the west/south end of the island....great for low tide!! You can walk around and explore a private island. A few of us got up to watch the sunrise, not very visible in the peak of summer, however we watched some deer frolic. Birds are very active. Saw a hawk have dinner:) Great moonrise from the end of the boardwalk! We will stay again The Babington's were great hosts! ##### NIchole D.
