The location felt safe and quiet. Beach access was easy and the beach wasnât crowded. The house was nice, spacious and well stocked.Would recommend new locks for the doors as not all of them worked. Overall, a great beach rental and recommend to others!
Property was great and met all of our family needs. Pet friendly, which is so hard to find in a beach front home. Access to the beach was great and the elevator was a life saver for the senior members of our family. We will forever "Hold-On" to the memories we made at Holden Beach.
Great stay!
As advertised!
Short walk to beach!
Had an issue with the clothes dryer but they tried to repair it next day, very thankful for their attentiveness!
Enjoyed our week at the beach. Loved the great views. Short walk to beach aces was great! Plenty of room for our family if 8. Great kitchen! The covered porch was the best part of the house!!!!
Beautiful home with amazing views! House was perfect for our trip with with older parents with some health issues. The elevator was perfect for getting up & down with ease. The house was clean & we had everything we needed to cook meals for all 8 of us. We definitely enjoyed our trip & would absolutely stay again!
Great location, very responsive owner/mgr, and love elevator!
We've been coming to Holden for about 20 yrs. and this has been our favorite property. We love the East side, the elevator is a god send for our older dog (and us), and the place is very spacious. It's hard to find nice places with pets on the water, this is the best!
We had a great week at Holden and enjoyed this house. It was clean and the views and beach access were superb. The elevator was fantastic. My dad has mobility issues and the elevator allowed him to enjoy the week. It was also nice that the house manager, Gina, met us and showed us around upon arrival.
I would definitely recommend this home.
We were visiting with our oldest son, daughter in law and grandbabies. This home was perfect for all of us to be together. We were all able to have our own privacy when needed. We had easy access to the beach. The view from both balconies were incredible. The kitchen was well stocked for us. I definitely would recommend this home.
A spectacular home in an unparalleled setting! From owner hospitality to breathtaking sunset views, we could not have chosen a more perfect vacation spot. The home is immaculate and provides an array of relaxing options, from enjoying oceanfront views on one of the two decks to reading a novel or trying your hand at a lighthouse puzzle (also provided by the owners). We highly recommend both the property and the location - it was a memorable stay, and we will return! Thank you!
Recipe to be a family hero:
1. Rent Hold-on-Beach.
2. Invite family.
3. Everybody loves the house and thinks you are a genius.
Seriously, a beautifully and fully furnished house (includes spices!) on a quiet, scenic beach.
We had a nice Spring Break in spite of the nasty weather. The house is in an excellent location: very quiet and excellent views! We were able to bring our dogs which made it a lovely vacation for the family.
For future renters, note that the elevator does not stop at the main sleeping floor, so luggage needs to be ferried to the top floor, that has only one queen bed, and then carried down to the bedrooms. Also, the beds are not especially comfortable.
The kitchen and living area are well equipped and have lovely views. The balconies are wonderful for taking in the sea air and relaxing.
Overall we recommend this rental, especially if you have dogs.
Our family really enjoyed our time together. The views and beach location was fantastic. We enjoyed the surrounding area and were happy to not be overwhelmed by crowds. The house was spacious and the elevator which serviced the top floor only was nice for bringing in and packing out our luggage. The house was beautifully decorated. Although, an update to furniture and mattresses is needed though as they are showing there age and usage. Lastly, while the house was overall clean, there was an obvious lack of detailed cleaning. Accumulated, dust and dirt in corners and dried food in the garage can was unappealing. The deck and furniture also needs to be cleaned and refurbished.
We were lucky to find this oceanfront cottage literally 3 days before leaving. The cottage is great as is the view. Our only challenge was with some door knobs that need replacing. We ended our stay with 60 mph gusts at 6 am, but the cottage held strong as we watched the storms pass. It was a great way to ring in the new year with our daughter with 70 degree days walking on the beach. Thank you.
We had a great stay at this property. The home is well kept but does display some wear and tear as you would expect for the age of the property. There wasn't anything that was a huge deal - all little things. The views of the ocean from both decks were fabulous! From the driveway, you walk about 4 houses down to the boardwalk over the dunes to access the beach so the walk was super short and the beach was not crowded during our stay. My parents could sit out on the deck and enjoy watching the grandkids play out the beach. The elevator is very useful as it opens right to the kitchen which makes bringing your things in and out very easy. We read, worked puzzles, played games at the table and spent many hours at the beach. We did bring our small dog and that worked out great. We were able to walk him on the beach before 9am and after 5pm. We had a fabulous beach week at this home and lots of wonderful memories were made.
My husband and I love Holden Beach and have taken our family there for years. They are all grown, but when we want to take a break, it's the beach we think of first. I have wanted to stay at Hold-on-Beach for years because of its ocean front situation and its seclusion on the East Beach end of the island. We were not disappointed in any way. The house had everything we needed to rest and enjoy our stay to the max. I called Mr. Woods once to make a special request in regards to the television viewing selection, and he acted immediately. He was very accommodating from the get-go. Since it was just the two of us and during October he gave us a rate we could live with. On another note, the weather was outrageously gorgeous for our entire stay. . .in fact, we had not packed enough items from our summer wardrobe. I would highly recommend this place for a couple's get-away (definitely more house than you would need) or for a small group or one or more families. Thank you, Mr. Woods, for making your home available to us!
With a little elbow grease, this property could be amazing! I realize it is set to be remodeled, but all the baseboards and under all the furniture was filthy. There was dust on all the fans and air vents. The air had a musty smell. The washing machine had mold inside of it. Old construction debris and broken chairs outside could have been thrown out, some screens were hanging loose, outdoor furniture was not wiped down, and the yard was full of spurs and mosquitoes due to the swampy area next door. We had a good time, but our allergies kicked in big time from the dust. Our dogs could not walk around in the yard without getting spurs in their feet. Thank goodness for the elevator for Mom! We fixed a few screens and cleaned the top balcony furniture so we could enjoy the beautiful view. Every meal we had at Holden Beach was delicious!
Thank you for stopping to look at our new home. Just like you, we found Hold-On-Beach on VRBO, while looking for a relaxing family beach get-a-way. At the time, the three most important things to my family were being close to the beach/ocean, cleanliness and the ability to work remotely from the house. Hold-On-Beach succeeded my expectations and the fantasy of owning an ocean front home become a reality. Now that this is our family home, it is important to me that visitors to our house are able to have the same experience I did. I strive to make sure the house is clean and everything is in working order so guests can relax, have fun and can also feel comfortable that, if necessary, they can schedule an important business video conference call from the home. I have two young children, so I look forward to my kids growing up in the house and making a lifetime of memories. Hopefully you can make some great memories here too.
Location, location, location. This house is as close to the beach as possible, without being directly on the sand and without a private path, which is ideal to me. The dunes and street in between the house and the ocean give us added protection. We are located on the east end of Holden-Beach, which is extremely quiet and experiences very little traffic compared to the west end. The location is also wonderful because it allows you to sit out on the deck, watch surfers and the sunset, all without every leaving the house or getting sandy.
