Torn down to the frame and completely rebuilt, this Holden Beach charmer is ready to be your home away from home! Located right along the water, the sand and surf are mere steps from the house, giving you unparalleled beach access. Even better is the fact that scenic parks, charters, a water park, golf courses, and numerous local restaurants to sample are only a short drive away.

Back at your oceanfront retreat, step through the door to be greeted by a completely remodeled house with new appliances, an updated kitchen and bathrooms, and a new mini-split system to ensure everyone remains cool while here. Unwind comfortably in the living area watching something on TV or gaze outside at the sparkling water nearby. The well-equipped kitchen is sure to please the group chef and has everything needed to make small snacks, entire meals, and everything else in between. Indulge together at the table before heading out to the deck to lounge comfortably as the crisp North Carolina air brushes against your face and the sun sets. After exciting days of exploration and frolicking in the sand, know all of the bedrooms will provide a serene night's rest. Additional conveniences include a washer/dryer, free WiFi, and three of the bedrooms having their own TVs for private viewing.

Not too bad

We watched this home get remodeled a couple years ago, and had high hopes for our stay. However, for being so recently renovated, it fell a bit short. The flooring is new, along with the bathrooms, and the mini-split system is very nice. However, I will pile on with everyone else, the furniture that is there needs attention. I feel like they just put in the old furniture after the remodel, and it doesn't feel cohesive. The beds are maginal at best - some of the worst nights sleep I've had. The chairs at the dining room table are worn and very uncomfortable. There was a lack of hanging space, especially in the front east bedroom that has the water heater in the closet. Cleanliness was ok - the shower curtain liners were moldy at the bottom. We saw more than the typical amount of Oriental Cockroaches - we killed at least 5 and but couldn't get the one that would keep hiding in the dishwasher. Another curiosity is that none of the windows facing the beach have screens - so opening them exposes the home to bugs. Overall, this place is just ok.

beautiful location, could use upgrades

The location was great. The house was set up nicely for 6 people. 8 would have been a stretch.The furniture is old and some of it even broken. Very uncomfortable even a for rental.The rocking chairs on the porch are falling apart.There is no outdoor table on the large deck.

Cozy

The property was perfect. Cozy, comfortable. The view from the deck was breath taking. I wanted to be able to feel the breeze from the ocean, hear the waves and smell the salt air. We have been looking for a place to rent yearly. This is it. I think we have found our spot.

Great location

This is a great little oceanfront house. Perfect for 4 couples or 4 friends. The separation of the air conditioning for each bedroom was great.
