Charming Coastal Home with private pool, Ocean Views, & Short Walk to the beach

We had the best week in a very clean well kept beach house!

We've been to Holden Beach several times, but this trip was our best yet. This house had plenty of seating for the eight of us, comfortable beds, and a well stocked kitchen. The pool was great and well secluded behind the house, and the storage closet was full of pool and beach toys, beach wagons, and anything else we needed! If we go back to Holden Beach next year, we definitely plan on renting this house again!

This house was perfect for my family! It was very clean and had everything we needed!

This little property is located on a corner lot of a pleasant little area set off from the beach but still an ocean view. Beach access is a straight shot from the house and the walk is not far. The pool is a wonderful added bonus!

Really good place to stay. Will probably try to stay here again!

Oak Island was an awesome beach location and we really enjoyed the area. The house was good and served its purpose. A few things to note-there are only five coffee mugs in the home and one had a crack in it so it was unusable. The only baking sheet in the home is very small so if you plan on cooking anything that may require a baking sheet (lasagna, etc.) you may want to prepare ahead. The size and condition of the outdoor grill was a little disappointing as well. For a house that can sleep 12, I feel there should be enough mugs and a grill big enough to accommodate the number of guests. We didn’t realize the pool gate was not directly connected to the house which would have made it easier for letting the dogs out to use the bathroom. To access the pool, you have to go down the steps to the house, under the carport, and then access the gate for the pool. We weren’t able to get the tv to play ‘live shows’ the whole time we were there. Not a big deal, but after a long day on the beach sometimes you just want kick back and watch tv. Lastly, not a huge deal but the combination code to enter the home is 10 digits long and not something that is easy to remember. We had to keep pulling our phones out to get the code to enter the home. Overall, the home was nice and clean and we would recommend. I hope the homeowners/rental company will take our comments into account and make some adjustments where they are able.

Many things at this property were not functional and there was no working internet during our stay which was a huge bummer. There is a Sliding glass door in bottom floor bedroom has no window coverings. There are no cooking sheets/ baking pans in this house, or spices (not even salt and pepper) so plan accordingly.

Master bedroom and Bath are awesom. Would like to see 2 double beds instead of singles. Close to beach access. Great open space in family room to play games and also cook while watching the game. We’ll be back. Would like to see a pantry or cabinets designated for dry goods.

The place is beautiful! We loved having our own pool! There are tons of pool/beach toys, chairs, and floats (more than I’ve seen at any rental before). The pool is awesome! The TVs in each bedroom was a plus.

Location is great! Clean and spacious house.

The house was perfect for our expanding family. Everyone had their own space and there was plenty of room when we wanted to get together. The kitchen, dining area and living room was open and large enough for everybody. Under the house and the pool saved our vacation.Tropical storm Debby came in while we were there. We were able to play cornhole, cards on the picnic table, grill out and swim (when it wasn't raining). Communication with the owners was first rate and despite the weather we had a great time.

I for sure will be back!

This house was perfect for us! It provided enough room for our family. We had children from 15 all the way to 2 and it met all of our needs. The walk to the beach was perfect, especially with two little kids and the pool was great to cool off after the beach. Our kids actually had a pool day instead of a beach day a couple of times. The deck around the pool was relaxing. We will definitely be looking to stay here again!

This house was very comfortable for our family of 5. The proximity to the beach access was nice. We also enjoyed afternoon swims in the pool. We hope to be back next year.

We had a great time at One Happy Place. Very clean, nice pool,

This house had everything we needed. The pool was a big hit as well as the easy beach access. The inside was very clean and looks like it was recently repainted! There were plenty of beach toys in the storage area. We will definitely consider staying here again!

My family has always vacationed at Holden Beach, but there was no availability. We took a chance and hit the jackpot! The pool was amazing and the house was very cozy! We rented a golf cart and had easy access to all of the stores, restaurants and Dairy Queen. We even booked and extra night!
