Location

The house was everything as advertised with lots of convenient extras like beach towels and chairs. And the view was amazing. It was a very easy walk to the beach and being at the far west end gave a lot of beach even at high tide. We had a few little issues that the owner very quickly responded to. We look forward to another week there soon.

Very enjoyable

Everything was as advertised. Plenty of room, excellent location (away from the busier part of the island) and very comfortable. My only suggestion/constructive criticism is that the first floor bedroom was warmer than the rest of the home (especially at night when the door was closed for privacy). The many notes on different aspects of the property was much appreciated. As a side note (unrelated to the rental) i would recommend bug spray or scent avoidance to reduce no-see-um bites. I would definitely stay here and with this host again!

Great location and sweet home away from home

The location could not be better. Bc we were in a gated community, the strip of beaches were fairly empty in front of and around the house. It helped we were just out of peak season too. The house was nicely laid out. There was plenty of room for 10. Amenities were great, from beach accessories to needs in the kitchen. The king mattress was slightly lumpy but the other beds were quite comfortable. My young kiddo cried when we left bc she wanted to go back to her beach house… she had too much fun and didn’t want to leave quite yet.

Whitecaps West

Jan, the property owner, was great and so very easy to work with. We needed to shift our arrival and departure dates by one day and Jan worked with us with no problem. The property was as advertised. Perfect size for eight adults and three kids under the years old. Location was fantastic. We will seriously consider renting here again. Give Whitecaps West a serious look!

Relaxing Getaway

We had a relaxing time at White Caps at Holden Beach. The property being beachfront was ideal in these current times, and allowed for great days even when it was rainy. Upon arrival there were a couple issues with a smell of the linens and dirty paper towels being left on an ottoman, which I made the rental company aware of. The living room and kitchen area we nice and big, allowing for comfortable gatherings. I did feel like the sofas were quite worn and are ready to replaced. The master room is fairly bare bones and could also be improved. Of note, Holden doesn’t allow portable grills on the deck therefore the grill is a park style grill on the grass just below the deck. All in all it was a great place to get away and relax and we enjoyed our time. The owner is very personable and was very communicative during the booking process.

Great weekend stay!

Property is on a wonderful stretch of Holden Beach, great for families and the house was as advertised! Nice property with great views, loved our evenings on the back porch. Property is a little older but maintained well. House was pretty clean on arrival but we did find some things that could have used a little more attention. Overall, a great stay!!

Beautiful and Quiet

This is a very nice home and we loved the area I like that this rental includes linens and towels and that they are a good quality. The kitchen is stocked with just about everything you will need. There was a small issue with the dryer, called the rental company and the handyman was there is about a hour and fixed the problem. We loved the rockers on the porch but wished we were closer to the beach. We knew that it was a bit further than we are used to from the pictures but were surprised it made such a difference to us. This is a very nice home. You will be very pleased!

Family Reunion

We had a great time at Whitecaps West. There was plenty of room for six adults and three children. Easy access to the beach and the duplex came with everything you need for a week's stay. If you don't like a crowded beach this is the place to go. Kids had a great time and lots of sea shells to collect. Outdoor shower and hose were great for washing off the sand. Love the view from the sea side deck. Would do this again with a large group. Owner Jan White was great to work with and Coastal Vacations Resorts were very responsive when we had a need.

Living As It Should Be

It was our first family reunion vacation which couldn't have been better staying at Whitecaps West. The home included all amenities anyone needs. The kitchen was stocked with toaster, microwave, blender, coffee maker, etc. Storage shed included various beach chairs, etc. If the family desires to return to Holden Beach in the future, Whitecaps West would be our choice.

What a glorious place to gather with friends or relatives!! Located on the beach, this bright, sunny, open home has room for a crowd---or a few. The downstairs living area features sofas facing wall-to-wall windows overlooking the ocean, a well-equipped kitchen with generous eating spaces, and even a little library area. I visited with several friends, and many times we gathered around the kitchen island for gab-fests. All bedrooms have comfortable beds, and are spacious and nicely decorated. This home is well-maintained, fresh, and feels new. The shell-strewn beach is wide and private--ideal for long walks, a great place to "get away from it all." Yet the little town of Holden Beach is only minutes away for those who want to explore antique shops or boutiques, run to the grocery store or dine at some neat little restaurants. I couldn't recommend it more highly!

Happy Beach Lover

The sound of the ocean lulled me to sleep at night. The beach is beautiful and you can see for miles in each direction. Lovely vegetation and birds along the beach. Wonderful porch to read and enjoy the ocean view. House was spotless and very attractive furnishings. I can't think of anything that wasn't there for comfort and conveniences. Can't wait to return.

Spotless, no disappointments

The house is fresh, sunny, pretty, with large rooms. High-ceiling living room open to dining and kitchen. The bedrooms are all equally nice--big, bright, appealing decor, good closets. Three bedrooms have ensuite baths; two share. Very clean, it feels new. Everything is comfortable. The view of the ocean is beautiful.

About the host

Hosted by Anne White

Why they chose this property

I spent every summer from age 12 at my family's beach home at Holden Beach. I have wonderful memories of those summers being joined at the beach by my aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends from North and South Carolina. In 1996 I bought a newly built home of my own on the West End of the beach, where the privacy reminds me of my early days at Holden Beach.

What makes this property unique

When I walk onto the beach from my home I can look both ways and see a beautiful unpopulated vista of white sand that stretches to the end of the beach to the West and several miles to the East. The water is warm for swimming, jumping waves, or body surfing. I can walk to the end of the beach from my home and find shells that have washed up. Because the West End of the beach has only two rows and the lots are large, it is quiet and I can relax and read on the beach by myself if I want or sit on the landing atop the dunes in front of my home. I can see the sunset from the landing. I also have a private porch off the Master bedroom that overlooks the sound and inland waterway on the other side of the house. I have water views from both sides of the house. If I want entertainment, especially for guests, there are lots of good golf courses and Myrtle Beach for the teenagers.
