Charming oceanfront retreat, Sea Shanty / 153 Marlin, with 3 beds in Holden Beach.

Sea Shanty was all we hoped it would be and more. Beautiful home with wonderful outdoor space. We look forward to returning in the future.

This was the most beautiful home I have ever stayed in with Vrbo. Everything you can ever imagine is there for you. We enjoyed staying in this house so much we did not want to leave. Fantastic location, and unbelievable kitchen. A huge thank you to the owner for sharing your home.

Very clean, well appointed, everything possible needed for your stay is provided. Game room was a “Blast”! Love to stay there again sometime. Jerry

This house was amazing! It has a great living room area and the kitchen was fully stocked. The grill is a gas grill, so now worries about bringing charcoal. We were also pleasantly surprised with all the board games and family games the drawers were stocked with. We played a game every night after dinner! The beach was just a short walk away. And if that isn't all, they have a mini arcade downstairs with pinball and pacman! The only thing bad about that arcade room was it was super hot! Just want to enjoy a cup of coffee and sit on the back patio? Perfect! The seating out back was great for our family. We just sat and enjoyed being by the waterway and getting to see all the boats go by. This house was truly a home away from home. It was very affordable too. If we go back to Holden, I will be looking for this house again!

We have been coming to Holden Beach for a really long time but this was our first time staying on a canal so we were a little hesitant at first to give up the ocean view. During Covid we purchased kayaks after talking about it for year so we decided to stay at this property because of the access to the inter coastal from the house's canal dock. I really can't begin to say how much we liked this house. First off it is like staying at someones house in that the interior is really very nice. I am an architect and honestly I'm pretty picky. The furniture, layout, interior design and even the lighting design is really nice. The outdoor spaces are also fantastic. We spent a lot of time on the back deck. The furniture there makes it seem like an outdoor living room. We love to cook and this house is extremely well equipped. The kitchen is also large enough for several people to cook at the same time. The outdoor landscaping is well done and there is actually grass that is nice to walk on. The living room/tv watching area is super comfy as is the carpet throughout. The house was extremely clean when we checked in. There are lots of games and puzzles as well. We wouldn't hesitate at all to stay at this house again.

This home was amazing. By far the best rental property my wife and I have ever stayed at. The décor and attention to detail were phenomenal. The dock was great for paddle boarding and kayaking. The game room was great for us almost 50 somethings that grew up on pinball and Pacman. Would love to stay here again!
