Beach & Outdoor Fun
Your group will love the quick access to the inviting beach and cool ocean waters directly across the street. We provide beach chairs, a wagon, and a cooler to make your excursions effortless. After a day in the sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower with hot/cold water and foot wash station.
Relax on the covered deck and enjoy island breezes, spot local wildlife, or watch breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.

As the day winds down and the cool ocean night air settles in, gather around our glowing fire pit—a warm, crackling centerpiece for slow evenings and easy conversation. It’s the perfect place to roast marshmallows with the kids, share stories with friends, or simply wrap up in a blanket and watch the stars drift across the coastal sky. These are the moments that turn your beach getaway into lifelong memories.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
The owner was really great communicating and answered all our questions before we even rented. The house is in a great spot close to all the action and the beach! Our teens and their friends loved this house for its location! There were bed options for days. If you have a lot of guests or kids, it’s a great choice. Nice big kitchen and den/sitting area. Plus, lots of amenities and beach items that they have on property to use. It was an excellent all around choice for us. Thank you!

We will definitely be staying here again! The hosts were so helpful with some scheduling issues we had come up, the house was clean, and had everything we needed. Lots of space for our family of 6 plus dog.
The way the house is set up felt like it lent itself to quality time and not seperate rooms or tv. Loved it!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
We really enjoyed Holden Beach and hope to return again. The location of the house was really good…short walk across the street to the beach.
We enjoyed this house which was the right size for our family.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2023
We had a wonderful stay at the property it was as listed, clean and very nice.
Midway through our week we lost power in part of the house and noticed the water pressure changed on the outside shower. We turned it off went in garage to place beach chairs back and the garage was full of water. We immediately sent a message to owner, he reached back and plumber was there within 3 hours.
The owner was very kind and partially refunded due to house issues.
My complaint is with the cleaning crew because they evidently accused us of smoking in the home. The owner proceeded to send me a message questioning us, I responded with no response back from him.
This is upsetting to me as we took great measures to take care of his home, making sure the plumbing was fixed, keeping him updated and cleaning up for him.
