Three Steps To The Beach - Oceanfront Home with Private Pool, 5 Bedrooms / 3.5 Bathrooms

We loved the house, private pool, and location. However, we gave the house a 4 because of a few issues. The first, and biggest, is the master bedroom shower, leaks down into the first floor bedroom. This is a major problem that needs immediate attention! The second thing, house was not very clean. First floor bedroom shower had mold in it and living room/dining room floor had spilt stains and dirt/dust all over it. One of my grandsons is 11 months old and crawling everywhere. After just a little while, his little knees were black and he was picking up and trying to eat crumbs that had been left from a previous stay. You could also set on one couch and see tons of dust under the other couches. My daughter vacuumed with the vacuum we found in a closet, but it didn’t work very well. We couldn’t find a mop so we had to wipe up spills by hand. Thirdly, none of the showers had hardly any hot water. The only place that did was the master bath tub. And lastly, there was several light bulbs that were burnt out, including pool light, and living room ceiling fan didn’t work. I know this sounds like a lot, but we did have a great vacation! Thank you!

The house was great. Everything about it was very good.Wasn’t there supposed to be a refund of a deposit. I’m pretty sure everything was left in good shape. I have seen nothing.

We really enjoyed our Fall visit to Holden Beach. The house is right on the beach and slept our family well. My only suggestion would be to add dimmers on the overhead lights in the kitchen and family room which are too bright to leave on.

Pros: The house was very nice and was great for a large family. Common area was large and a lot of seating for everyone. Staying beachfront with kids was fantastic. The kids loved the bunk bed room and they spent hours in the pool after each afternoon at the beach. Cons: There is minimal public parking in Holden Beach and the real estate company managing this property will not allow you any access (even parking) to this property until 4pm on arrival day. Therefore, I would not advise coming any earlier than 4pm. Also, the property is very far from anything other than the beach, therefore no need for a golf cart rental. The house was surface level clean, but needed a deep clean. One shower had mildew buildup on the tile. There was some other basic cleaning that had not been done on arrival. There was a faint smell of cat urine in one bedroom. The house was also absent of some basics, for instance, the ice maker was inefficient and some kitchen supplies were absent. Other properties on Holden we have stayed at in the past, were better stocked with greater attention to detail. Overall a great stay, however, would have liked more attention to detail given the amount we paid for the stay.

Excellent experience all around!

Great location. Loved house. New pool was an awesome addition to the property.

Home was perfect for our family and grandparents who joined us! Enjoyed the comfort and coziness of the house, location was perfect, and thank you for the wonderful memories!

3 Steps to the Beach was not over exaggerated. Everyone in our group enjoyed the stay. The walk to the beach was perfect, with a great deck and furniture to enjoy the view during the day, and star gazing at night. Very convenient to have a shower in the car port to wash off the sand before going in the house. There were tv's in every room, and the internet was very reliable even with a lot of people using it. For management, the Master bedroom could do a better job on cleaning, and the windows through out the house as well. Overall opinion is that we wouldn't mind staying here again!
