This is great for a very basic beach getaway. The living room furniture needs to be updated but the kitchen table is large and great for a family meal. The beach access across the street is very close. Some water views seen from the front deck. Overall, we would book this property again because it’s affordable.

Terrific location close to beach access. Interior was clean and inviting. This is a classic little beach house so if you need elegant updates keep looking. This fit our needs perfectly. Our only wish was a covered porch for some shade on the front deck. Dining table was big- beds were comfortable- good water pressure and the drinking water out of the tap tasted great. Will definitely keep this on my list of keepers

I started coming to Holden Beach in 1973, age 15, when most of tge houses were beach cottages like this one. To me, the beautiful wood paneling, big deck and a bit under stocked kitchen are part of a beach get-away. My biggest qualm is the lack of a true enclosed outdoor shower, though there is a partially enclosed. We’ve rented this house twice and will definitely rent again!

We had two children (6 and 1.5) in the house. The proximity to the beach was great.

The pictures tell the tale. It is a nice place for a single family, but a little dated. Everything worked well and it was clean. It has been remodeled at least once, and the light switches are in some strange places. That aside, we'd stay there again for sure!

Loved the close access to walkway to beach. While the home is an older one we had everything we needed. AC was great.

We love the simple, but beautiful wood paneling, hardwood floors and windows galore of this old-fashioned beach cottage. We were even able to have the house opened up to let the ocean air blow through and hear the sound of the breaking waves and cicadas at night. What a glorious big front porch for meals and evening visits with family after grandkids went to be; fairly ample views of the ocean horizon. We will return for sure! It already feels like home.

This was a great place to get away. Steps to public access to the beach. Had everything we needed. Quiet and peaceful. Loved the open floor plan and the large table for meals and games. So nice to sit on the deck in morning and evening. A few minor things that could be repaired or upgraded but nothing that would prohibit us from staying again. Loved it.

I loved the convenient location. I loved the house with the nice large deck. The house is a little dated but very cozy and the price was right for me. Check in was simple and it had everything we were needing for our trip. Exactly as advertised with no surprises.

We have rented this house two years in a row. It’s nothing fancy but it is close to beach and comfortable. Deck is great to sit on in evenings.
