Tiger Den - Oceanfront Home, 4 Bedrooms / 4.5 Bathrooms

Host (Proactive) were very responsive

We came to the Tiger Den to stay the weekend with our two kids. It had everything we needed and more!

The week was extremely enjoyable. Location perfect. Beach access outstanding. House average. Kitchen utensils poor. 2 of 4 bed mattresses not adequate.

I loved the location. Plenty of room and beautiful views. House was clean and equipped with all essential needs. We enjoyed the time we had with our son and his future wife.

We loved this place. We all had our own bedrooms and bathrooms. The location is perfect and being right on the beach is perfect.

Tiger's Den is a perfect place to retreat!

I'll start by saying the location is perfect. Easy access to the expansive sandy beach, and beautiful views from the decks. My wife and I rented this for ourselves and did not make full use of the property, but the rental is great for four groups of people who want their own private bedroom and bathroom suites. The kitchen is well appointed, and the furniture is comfortable throughout. The large windows on the main floor are perfect to enjoy the ocean view when sitting inside. Now for the negative aspects: - We have rented waterfront homes annually for 30 years, and we have never felt more unwelcome to a home than we did with this rental, due to contract provisions. All homes specify check-in and check-out times ... no problem, and we always abide by them. But this one states that early arrival or late checkout will be considered trespassing. Heavy handed and unnecessary. They also nickel and dime you for things like bedding, leaving a clean dish in the dishwasher or a piece of trash in a wastebasket. There is a charge for everything. They made us so uneasy that we took pictures in all rooms before unpacking in case we needed to dispute a charge. This beach has an abundance of rental homes, so next time we will try Holden Beach Vacations or Hobbs Realty to see if they are more hospitable than Proactive Vacations. - We also were surprised by some items that were not provided, bathroom and kitchen towels being our biggest concern. We drove to NC, but this would be more challenging after flying into town. The type of rentals we book typically provide those. - The windows facing the ocean on the upper floor will not stay open. Either they are broken, or the owner removed the counterweights that hold them open. Ocean-front properties always benefit from open windows for the breeze and sounds of the surf. It also is dangerous as we thought a window was staying open only to slam shut violently nearly catching a finger. The windows facing the street did not have this problem.

Lots of space for large group to vacation together. Our families enjoyed the space and the area was a favorite destination.

Our family has vacationed in Holden Beach for the last decade and we had a wonderful time this year! The house was perfect for us with four teens, the kids loved having their own living room area upstairs! It was also nice to try a few new restaurants along with our old favorites this year! Already looking forward to next year!

Great living space and dining area. All bedrooms with private baths was so nice. Loved the deck on back of house.we had a wonderful time relaxing!
