SB73 The Respite

So, here’s the deal. Our family has been going to Sunset Beach for over 40 years. The first decade or so, we were trying a different beach house every year. Most were fairly nice, but we wanted to try a new house every summer. That is, until we found The Respite. We loved the place so much, we’ve kept coming back year after year, decade after decade. :-) There’s much to like – lots of light, the roof deck, but especially, especially if the two large living areas. It’s great for our family, with one area for the kids to play in, and another one for the adults to use. My only hesitation in posting this review is that more people will find out about this hidden jewel, making it harder for our family to make a reservation. So, we’ve already made a reservation for next year… :-)

The house was perfect for our family with 3 kids, wife’s mother, and our two small dogs. One house back from the main beach road, with very close and easily traveled public beach access.

Home was great for our needs. Loved the outside area and easy walk to the beach. Wish there was a little more seating in the living area but it didn’t bother us as we used the dining table for meals and outdoor area for hanging out.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The house is in a perfect location nestled in the marsh but also within close walking distance to the beach boardwalk. There is a beautiful deck up top that is great for watching the sunrise or sunset over the marsh. The property is quite spacious with extra parking in the adjacent lot and perfect for family games or grilling. This is a great spot for the island and the house was perfect for our family. We will definitely be back!

Clean, cozy and convenient. Great place for outdoor activities.I had a great time kayaking on the intercoastal waterway, and my husband enjoy surf fishing.

This house has plenty of room for a large family. The included lot next door was a great place to play corn hole and even set up a volleyball net. This extra lot is such an added bonus !!!The walk to the beach was easy and the views from the top deck are breathtaking. I will definitely be back!!

We love the layout of this house and have been here three times now. It's very convenient for our dogs to have the easy-to-clean fenced yard and we LOVE the included waste station! The water pressure in the shower is amazing and the beds are soft and comfortable. Vacasa hasn't been great for us in the past but was so good this year. The local agent reached out just before we checked in with some info and then checked in once we were there. We didn't need anything but it would have been easy to contact them if we did. Thanks for a great weekend!!

The house was clean, well stocked and in a great location. Enjoyed the dock and screened porch. Great for the dogs and great areas close by for extra dog exercise.

Great location, plenty of room and amenities. The only thing missing was live TV. We had a really good stay and love the property.

Great location to get to the beach - so close to beach access

David S. -

We had an awesome stay, it was close to the beach and we love the screen in porch to sit out there to enjoy the sunset. The back yard was great for our dog. Would stay there again.

Pamela C. -

Seconds away from the oceans and also the boat dock was great for the children to fish off of.

Santana W. -

The pour house was great! Had everything you could need. 2 min walk to the beach. Nice cold AC. Super clean and the vacasa team was very accommodating. Will come back again. This will probably the house we always stay at.

Travis S. -

Great location, very close to beach access, clean and tidy house. Will return!

Andy H. -

It's been a while since we've been to Holden Beach; the Pour House was the perfect place for our visit. The dog-safe fenced yard and screened porch were perfect for our crew. We loved being on the waterway but also just the shortest walk to the public beach access. The neighborhood was great for walks with beautiful views around every corner. It was quite, which is what we wanted. There are a couple restaurants on the island and the grocery/ABC stores aren't far away. Fantastic stay and we hope to visit again next year!

Shannon V. -

Overall, great. Very clean, kitchen equipped well, decent layout and great location. Would rent again!

Kevin W. -

Home was very cozy and clean! Would definitely recommend. Would book again for future vacations.

Amber H. -

We spent approx 3 weeks at the Pour House and were very happy with the stay. This was our first experience with Vacasa and certainly will book again. Location was very convenient to the beach and just far enough from road to have no noise. Our dog loved the deck and dock. It was easy to work remotely and property is well laid out. Only negative was the beds were a bit soft. Thanks for a great winter getaway!

Susan O. -

Pet friendly, close to the beach, peaceful setting on the canal.

Sue C. -

The property was clean, conveniently located to the beach and had a well stocked kitchen. I would definitely stay again.

This is our second stay at this property. We were disappointed at check in to find the water off and we had to find a phone number to call Vacasa and deal with that after traveling all day with dogs and kids. They solved the issue by sending someone out within thirty minutes and we had a great time after that. The layout is great for two groups, in our case grandparents and then our family of four. Two rooms on each side with a shared bathroom between. The yard is very easy to clean up after the dogs with the white rocks and having a fenced area for them was so nice for all of us. The beach public access is a very short walk and we had a wonderful time.

Anna H. -

We love the set up and being able to watch birds and fish in the canal. All of enjoyed our stay. We had some electrical issues but were addressed promptly after the holiday. Cotton electric was very professional and friendly to talk with. Thank you Pour House for another wonderful Christmas!!

Laura O. -

The house was great! Location, fence for the dogs and canal for caring bait! Great time!

Lara B. -

Everything was great! Closeness to the beach the boat dock for our pontoon boat. The kids loved crabbing and fishing from the dock. The fenced yard was wonderful. We’d rent again for sure.

Peggy B. -

Excellent

Whitney G. -

Very compact house with four bedrooms, great beach access and a beautiful view from the porch.

Loved being able to sit on the porch when the weather warmed up. Saw lots of birds, red tail fox and even dolphins.

Laura O. -

Easy access to beach, fenced in yard was great. Clean and well equipped house. Would definitely book again.

Thomas W. -

We loved our stay at the Pour House! The house is so close to the beach, which is awesome even in the winter. We loved how pet friendly it is, especially the fenced in yard. We would definitely like to stay there again!

Great house, well appointed with super comfy beds!! We loved it & pup did too. Fenced yard was A+!!

julie W. -

This is our 2nd year in Holden Beach, 1st stay at the Pour House. Very nice clean house. Short walk to beach. Would recommend this area/house !! The Lucas'

Mark L. -

First all-family vacation. Great experience

Nell B. -

It’s a great house, just lacking a bit of storage space in the kitchen and bedrooms. It’s clean, functional and the kitchen is well stocked. It’s close to public access to the beach. But the star of the show is the master shower. That shower head is the gold standard of every shower head ever made. Five stars.

James W. -

Cozy house close to the beach access.

Wayne C. -

Excellent communication with property management. Had a minor problem and a team member was there within minutes.

Beth L. -

This home was perfectly located near the beach and had all the amenities needed. We loved having our coffee on the screened porch and my son was particularly fond of the dock where he caught a couple of fish! The fenced yard was perfect for our Aussie to enjoy himself as well.

Allyson W. -

Absolutely beautiful home, sensational location, only negative was there was not enough light in the kitchen. Dogs absolutely loved it!!!

Martina J. -

Very convenient location; very usable kitchen; love the screened porch!

Sherry W. -

The Pour House was just perfect for our month long vacation to celebrate my retirement. This house is well appointed with all the comforts of home, great view of the canal and close access to the beach. Definitely hope to go again next year!

Teresa B. -

Everything!

Kevin A. -

I HIGHLY recommend this house for a quiet and pleasant stay. Very nice house with all the amenities. You can tell the owners care! So nice to watch the sunrise on the screened in porch with a cup of coffee. Quiet area and just a very short walk to the beach. Love the park grill. A very nice stay. I will recommend this house to all my friends! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
