Bright, Beachfront Family Home w/Central AC, WiFi, Ping-Pong Table, W/D, Deck

Great location! Step back in time to the 50’s. The living room furniture needs replaced. We enjoyed our time here.

We so enjoyed our stay here. Perfect for a family of four. The house is retro, and extremely clean. So charming! The outdoor shower isn’t the most accessible, but that was our only complaint. We had to contact Vacasa for a maintenance call and they were fabulous. We had someone out within an hour of our text. We will be back!

Location, location, location! Old school beach house. Felt like we had stepped back into the 50’s. Our family enjoyed our time here.

Pros: Nice porch to enjoy the ocean breeze and see a little water. The beds were comfortable and thank goodness the air conditioner worked well. I would say kitchen was relatively well stocked. CONS: The front burner on the stove was broken and worse than that the dishwasher had black mold inside. The air conditioner vents above the couches had condensation and would actually drip on our heads at times. The blinds in the cottage were filthy. Furniture quite old as well as furnishings, but I expected that. The day before we left I saw a roach. I will say I made VACASA aware of the stove and dishwasher problem and they were to quick to send someone out and even gave me a credit on our payment. I did not say anything about the other things because I had only a few days left. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Nice location, short walk to beach, quiet

Will stay here again

Nice porch , ocean in the front yard. A gr8 little house.

This house is on a great spot for the beach. Plenty of beach to enjoy. The house was well equiped in the kitchen. The house has the old beach bungalow charm. The house was very clean when we arrived.

Quiet almost private beach A Sea turtle nest was hatching nearby!

The location is exactly what we wanted! We had stayed here years ago and not much had been updated. One of the burners did not work, the closet door was off the track, the living room lamp’s switch was broken, and a chunk of the blinds in the living room were missing. We reached out to Vacasa and they offered to fix these things while we were there. We did not have them fixed while we were there. We missed having a kitchen table, but enjoyed our stay here.

Quick summary? This house felt neglected and made more work for us instead of more relaxation for our family of five. GOOD: the house stayed cool in the 100° temperatures we had. The washer, dryer, Keurig, and dishwasher all worked great. BAD: The full bath is attached to the master bedroom and the half bath is the main bathroom in the hallway. Mouse droppings on top of the refrigerator. Goldfish crackers under the beds in the 2nd bedroom from previous tenant. A 2” cockroach in the master bath. Rotting wood in various places throughout. Broken closet door in the 2nd bedroom. Unusable lamp in the living room. Large burner on stove didn’t work. The frying pans are scratched up with the black non-stick surface peeling off. Bathroom doors don’t latch. Screens on the screen doors were broken and the spring was missing on the back door. Deck was a splinter waiting to happen with many of the rusted nails sticking up causing tripping hazards. Available beach equipment was broken. Hose to clean yourself off after being on the beach was split without much coming through the actual nozzle. Pictures show five chairs at the counter but there are only four in the house. Not helpful for a family of five. Add this all together, the house felt neglected. We wondered just how long it’s been since the owners have been in the house. We loved Holden Beach and want to bring our family back in the future but it will NOT be to this house.
