    We totally enjoyed our week on the beach. The house was everything it claimed to be and more. We had a minor repair needed and they were there within a couple hours. Just a beautiful location. We will be back.

    The house clean and just perfect for our family. We really like having bathrooms in every adult bedroom. Would definitely book this house in the future and recommend. We also loved the location.

    This home was very neat and clean with some recent updates in bathrooms and doors. The kitchen was equipped with plenty of dinnerware and utensils, and a wide variety of pots, pans and baking dishes - helpful for a large family making and eating all our meals at the house! The house fit our family of 8 very well (ages adult down to 2y.o.). Though the dining area was a little cramped, it was functional and did seat all 8 of us (again, this may only be a factor if you are looking to eat all your meals in-house). The access to the beach was easy and the outdoor shower set-up was very handy. The porch and deck were well stocked with comfortable rocking chairs which we enjoyed very much! We really did not have any problems or complaints and are happy to give a good review!

    The house fit all of our needs for a group of 11. The community and beach was beautiful. The house was exactly as explained. The furniture and refrigerator could use some updating but overall a comfortable retreat!

    Great location with direct access to the beach. Spacious house with plenty of room. Property in need of some repair and not as clean as we would have wanted. Main living area carpeting should be replaced.

    Great location on ocean and front porch was great. House was just the right size for us but needs some updating and repairs. Carpet felt / looked dirty and had to clean ocean facing Windows when we got there. Decent bedrooms and bathrooms.

    Clean, well stocked, amazing beachfront house. My only issue is that we couldn’t stay longer. We will definitely be back.

    My daughter and I searched for weeks for the perfect house. We spent many summer vacations in a motel at Myrtle and decided to visit a new beach this year. Booking an ocean front house was a big step for us. It was all about location, the view, the porch, and ease of booking for us. When our search took us to High Cotton on Holden Beach through VRBO we knew we found exactly what we were looking for! Located on the east end of the island it provided us a magnificent view, two huge porches, wide open beach space and lots of room for our family of 8. Not all reviews on High Cotton were 100% positive, but mine is! Sure, there are small things you can nit pick, but nothing that deserves a negative review. (However, I would suggest you take your favorite frying pan!) The kitchen is fully stocked with everything, including a potato peeler! The kids loved the outside shower, and we adults liked the size of the master bathrooms. One of the showers upstairs had a wonky sliding shower door, but it was easily worked through. High Cotton is a great house and if it doesn't suit everyone they had to spend too much time inside! We can't wait to go back next year. I just can't say enough about the porches and their view from the rockers, or the ease of the walk to the beach. Holden is a beautiful beach and I feel so lucky that our search landed us there! Until 2022, thank you for the BEST vacation we've had in years!

    Good property to stay at minus a few things that reflect a 3 out of 5 rating. The upstairs door leading in from the top deck is hard to shut and our kids (any kid in general) couldn’t close it properly. That seems to have caused the water stains on the carpet and caused the floor baseboard trim to take on damage too. 2 upstairs queen beds are squeaky as well, pillows are basic for all beds so bring your own if you want something more comfortable. Also during some heavy rain we had during our trip, the top bedroom window(s) facing ocean had water seeping in. Also, one morning opening up our box of doughnuts I was surprised by them being covered in ants. Overall decent/average place to stay but next trip I’ll be finding another place to stay for that amount of money it costs for my families 1 week vacation.
