Charming Oceanfront Cottage on Holden Beach-Dates still open August-October

What a lovely house and location! I’ve never stayed at a cleaner vacation home - spotless. Claire was lovely to chat with and was clear on everything. Thank you! We hope to return!

We had a wonderful time at this charming oceanfront property, Claire is always available to meet any needs or answer any questions that you have.It is easy to access the ocean and is a wonderful ocean for walking and for enjoying the surf.The view from the front porch is wonderful. You can see up and down the beach and even if it’s raining, you never are away from being able to see the ocean.The house is wonderful and I’ve never seen one so fully stocked with any items that you need,This is now one of my favorite places to stay, and I heartily recommend it, and you certainly will not be disappointed

The communication with the host was great. The check in was easy. The AC was so welcoming after our long 2 day drive. The kitchen facilities were great. We loved the long bar and the large table for our breakfast and dinner meals; even did some crafts on the table. The bedrooms were more than adequate. The large living room was nice. Access to the beach wasn't far away. Loved to seat on the front porch, raise the windows and listen to the ocean waves. Watched a few pelicans dive bomb the water in the early morning. Or seat below the house and feel the breeze. The beach chairs, wave boards and beach cart came in handy. The beach at this end of the island was less crowded. Could use some deck lights on the main upper stairs instead of having to count each step. (We didn't want to turn any porch lights on; didn't want to distract the turtle migration.) Also the porch outside windows could use cleaning. It was a really great place to enjoy our family vacation, just wish it wasn't so far away.

It’s our second year staying here and again had an amazing week! Everything we need and more! Owner is amazing and kind.

House was great with a good location and close to beach access.

This is a wonderful home on the beachfront in Holden Beach. The owner is so helpful and available. The house is well stocked with everything needed. The views from the porch are wonderful and it is a short walk to the beach. Holden Beach is a wonderful beach for walking and sightseeing. Highly recommended and I hope we can come again!!

We had a wonderful time at the Mary J ! Took us back to our times at the beach as children- there was plenty of room for my grandchildren and adult children- the best porch ever and steps away from the beach ! We loved it and will be back !

House was spacious and clean. Has a Grandma's house feel to it and it's very cozy! Just a short walk to the stairs access to the beach. We really enjoyed the Mary J!

Our stay was nothing short of amazing! The view from the porch was the best part of it all, rocking in the rocking chairs in the morning while drinking coffee and looking out at the ocean was absolutely breathtaking. The house had everything that we could've ever imagined needing for our vacation. Everything was very comfortable and the area where the house is located is perfect if you want a lot of time alone on the beach and not a crowded stay. Would definitely stay there again!

Great property, great location! Don’t load your car up, this place has everything you need. The most well stocked VRBO property we have stayed at! Kitchen is better stocked than our own, every cooking device, utensil and many spices, seasonings, sugar,etc. Dishwasher, ice maker, coffeemaker, washer, dryer, individual AC units and much more worked perfectly. Comfortable beds, comfortable furniture, loads of games, puzzles and books. Perfect location, uncrowded beach, easy beach access, great views and awesome screened in porch facing the beach. Great restaurants, seafood stores, pharmacy and supermarket within short driving distance. Just remember to bring your own sheets, pillowcases and towels. If you don’t, Walmart is a short drive away. Overall, 5 stars isn’t enough. Property manager was easy to get ahold of before the trip and we didn’t need anything once we arrived. Highly recommend! We will be back with the whole family next time.
