Oceanfront w/ beach access, amazing views, hot tub, kitchen, & smart TVs

The property was on the beach. It was peaceful & quiet. Exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed sitting on the deck & being able to walk out the door & take walks on the beach. The house was generally comfortable & clean. The only negative was that the utensils & dishes were not clean, and I had to wash them before we could use them. The pans left in the oven were coated in baked on food & grease, and one of the large cooking spoons was so coated in dried on food, that I had to scrub hard to get it cleaned off. All thing taken in to account, We liked it enough that we would consider staying there again.

We spent a long weekend here with the kids and the grandkids. It was wonderful to walk right out to the beach. The place is a little worn and could use some updating but the price was great, the location was awesome and it was clean. The kitchen was well stocked. It was great to have an empty cupboard to put our food items in which we often don't find in rentals. The rooms were good size and the beds were comfy. The listing states it sleeps 12 and the bedrooms would comfortably fit that many. However, we do think that 12 would be a snug fit for the living space and the kitchen. We had one issue arise on arrival and reached out to the rental company and they were very responsive and the issue was resolved quickly. There are lots of beach toys, chairs and boogie boards available for use. There is a small charcoal grill.

Family vacation with In-laws and 8 small children and babies. House accommodated us well. Would have been nice to have larger kitchens and a 1/2 bath on bottom floor. But there are issues that need to be addressed!!! I did contact Vacasa and they were accommodating to find solutions while we were there. However, most solutions were not able to be met while occupying the house especially with babies. Here are some of the issues: No storage in kitchen for our food we needed for the week because all cabinets were packed full of needless junk. Example, 6 gallons of interior paint stored under sink, 4 full shelves in pantry crammed with Nick Nack decorations, another pantry shelf stuffed with boxes of various items. Kitchen cabinets stuffed with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, etc… with no organization. They were scattered all of the place. Dishes, pots and pans were greasy and some dirty. Literally had to wash everything we wanted to use. Kitchen counter and stove was filthy. We cleaned the entire kitchen before setting up. Bed in small bedroom upstairs was broken and being held up with scrap wood from a project they had been doing recently. Which meant they knew the bed was broken. Door shelve in on the the refrigerators were missing. Killed at least 10 large cockroaches throughout the week. There were cockroach droppings inside a coffee pot inside one the the stuffed cabinets.Again, Vacasa seemed to try and make things right and listened to our concerns.

The home is right on the beach and access was super. We had a great time.

We absolutely loved our time at this property! The entire house was perfect for our group — every bedroom was clearly designed with adults in mind, with comfortable queen or king-sized beds throughout. It made for a truly relaxing stay, with no one stuck in bunk beds or small rooms. There was plenty of space for everyone to gather, whether we were lounging in the cozy living room or sitting around the table playing cards. But hands down, our favorite spot was the porch. The covered area with rocking chairs was such a peaceful place to unwind, whether it was morning coffee or evening chats. Another big plus was the ample parking, which made arrivals and departures super easy for our group. We would book this property every single year if we could — unfortunately, it's already booked for summer 2026! But we'll be keeping an eye out for future openings. Highly recommend!

Loved the home all said and done. Beautiful view on the ocean!! Being able to be able to walk straight outside was awesome!!!

Just the view and easy access to the beach

Our family is unique. 5 kids ranging from 35-45. 12 grandkids ranging from 1-22. Two families have 4 kids each. This place was perfect beyond belief! Two separate houses connected together. We could walk from one to the other with no problem. But everyone has their own space, own kitchen, own washer and dryer and both units had hot tubs. We normally go to Ocracoke 3 times a year but decided to try Holden Beach 6 hours closer. Not only was the house beyond belief the coffee shop, Aunt Irene’s Cinnamon Buns, the pizza place and Castaways were all fantastic. We also had the beach to ourselves. We plan on booking again for next year TODAY!! Thanks to the owners for such a great trip!

Good location. Unit needs some repairs ( very minor). Kitchen is full of ‘stuff’ but pots and pans are badly scratched. Knives are almost unusable. Great place for a large family if you rent both sides. Overall good place.

I will say overall we were happy with the experience and our stay. The details from the title refers to our first night experience after checking in. With in 30 minutes I killed 4 full size roaches/water bugs out in the open and on the walls. My 4 kiddos were not wanting to go to sleep or enter other rooms for the fear of the bugs. The management company offered to come and take care of it. However it was a little too late at this point. The bugs are already in the house and I already killed them. Pest control should be consistent and taken care of before guests arrive. Pros: The house location on street and beach. The cost of staying 3 nights. Having a washer and dryer! Clean linens. Cons: The kitchenware was okay. The pots and pans need major updating as all of them are scratched with peeling non stick surfaces. We’ve made note to bring our own pans on any future trips because the ones provided are unreliable. No clocks worked in the house.

We loved having 2 kitchens and 2 sets of washer/dryer units. Both kitchens were pretty well stocked. Homes were supplied with laundry pods, dish soap and dishwasher pods. We will definitely book for our next visit to Holden!

Love the view and the short walk to the ocean!

Great location. The rental rate was at a good price point, but it did lack some basic amenities like clean dishes and working appliances when we arrived. The bathrooms were adequate.
