Jul 13, 2025 #### Almost a perfect house The view from this house was amazing. I spent so much time sitting in the rocking chairs, enjoying the breeze, and the ocean. It was perfect! I knew from other reviews that the beds were horrible, and I agree! My husband spent most nights on the couch. If they upgraded their beds and got some comfy chairs for the living area, then this place would be incredible! Everyone had a great time at the beach, and we appreciate that this house is dog friendly. We would definitely rent this house again and hope that they will upgrade the mattresses. Thanks for a great week at the beach! ##### Kelley H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicky J.

Otherwise incredible cleanliness and location! ##### Thomas P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Ana S. Jul 19, 2025 #### Great location, VERY outdated furniture and houseware This area of Holden Beach was not very busy but still convenient. This was a big plus for us. We brought our dog and the fenced in area made it so easy. The fence does have some holes so it would require supervision of a small dog. The home is quite small (looks bigger in pictures). We lucked out that the days were nice so we didn’t have to be stuck inside. The beds are squeaky and old- like old spring mattresses. Dining room chairs need to be replaced. The kitchen lacks silverware for the number of guests allowed. Washer and dryer is in one of the bedrooms which was very convenient. Very specific for those with small kids- there are no curtains so the bedrooms are BRIGHT early in the morning and during nap. Ours adjusted quickly but FYI in case yours are not used to that. Overall, we liked the home location. It fits my small family well. We would love to return if furniture was updated. ##### Ana S.

The location was great, view was wonderful and there was a short walk to the beach from the back porch. Kitchen (well stocked) and bathrooms were updated. Negatives: They need to replace mattresses. Yard is not usable for pets due to the large amount of cockleburs. Need new covers on couch, one cushion had broken zipper. ##### Vickie B. ### 8/10 Good #### Randy A. Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Not too bad We watched this home get remodeled a couple years ago, and had high hopes for our stay. However, for being so recently renovated, it fell a bit short. The flooring is new, along with the bathrooms, and the mini-split system is very nice. However, I will pile on with everyone else, the furniture that is there needs attention. I feel like they just put in the old furniture after the remodel, and it doesn't feel cohesive. The beds are maginal at best - some of the worst nights sleep I've had. The chairs at the dining room table are worn and very uncomfortable. There was a lack of hanging space, especially in the front east bedroom that has the water heater in the closet. Cleanliness was ok - the shower curtain liners were moldy at the bottom. We saw more than the typical amount of Oriental Cockroaches - we killed at least 5 and but couldn't get the one that would keep hiding in the dishwasher. Another curiosity is that none of the windows facing the beach have screens - so opening them exposes the home to bugs. Overall, this place is just ok. ##### Randy A.

Very nicely renovated home in a quiet neighborhood. Everything was great but they REALLY need to update the beds. They were VERY loud. Every time you got in or out of the bed or rolled over they were squeaked extremely loud and we never got a good nights sleep. Hopefully they accept our feedback and make changes to the beds. ##### KIMBERLY H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Shelly W. Sep 7, 2024 #### Great house, beds need updating! The house was great! Did not have enough toilet paper to last our trip and only had a half roll of paper towels for the entire week, so we had to ask for more and also buy our own to last. There was also no cleaner or disinfectant to use to wipe down or clean anything. The only major thing I would update were the mattresses and the bed frames… they were all very old and out dated. All beds were extremely uncomfortable and made SO much noise with every shift or movement. If the beds were updated, we would rent again! The overall location and the house itself was perfect, just need to update those beds. ##### Shelly W.

Wifi was fast, the kitchen was well-stocked, and we appreciated the toiletries and basics left in the house that made the stay easier. We would recommend updating the furniture and especially the beds because unfortunately they were outdated and uncomfortable. With those changes, we would definitely recommend this house! ##### Andrew K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### DeLyn S.

Jun 6, 2021 #### Had a great time but disappointed The location of this home is wonderful and very close to the bridge to take you off the island. The view was great and very close to the ocean. The reason my family and I have decided to give three stars is because of the lack of basic cleanliness throughout the house. The kitchen drawers were dirty and extremely unorganized. Some of the utensils had dried food on them. It looks like they have never cleaned under the beds or the furniture in the living room. We pulled out the cushions of the couch and it had a ton of stuff in it. There was old dog food underneath the couch as well. It was expected for the house to not be perfect or up to date due to the price we were paying. But we did expect basic cleanliness considering the pandemic as well as the fact that we are paying to stay in a clean home. We saw multiple roaches in the house but we are aware that they are common in beachfront homes due to moisture but still disturbing.
