Perfect Beach Vacation!

The perfect everything... Perfect location, especially if you don't mind not being at the beach. Perfect house that's loaded with everything you need in the kitchen, with pool toys, beach chairs, kayaks, and a bonus game/ arcade room. If you have a house full of teenagers and young adults like we did, it's got something for everyone. Never heard one complaint and they all want to come back next year. That goes for the adults too. I would definitely recommend a golf cart to make getting to the beach a little easier.

Great location and communication

We had a great time at Yacht Watcher and the owner was quick to respond to a leaky dishwasher (the only issue we had). The young adults in our group loved being on the ICW - we brought our paddle boards and the house had kayaks available. Great house for a large group.

June 2023

The house was beautiful, and perfect for our family. We loved the location. It was very accurately advertised. We would definitely book the very same house again. Just some small suggestions. There was only one or two of the bathrooms that had hand soap, and there was not enough toilet tissue. If it is not supplied, I would suggest that to be me noted so quests could come better prepared. Also, maybe I missed it, but I didn’t read where you supplied so many Beach chairs, umbrella , wagon boogie boards, etc for the beach. This is great, however, but we packed all that too. It is extremely nice that so much is there for guests to use, but it could save from packing so much if it is advertised. The refrigerator in the garage and sink were very dirty. I cleaned it before placing items in it We could not get onto WiFi , and I was informed by the downstairs guests that it was very warm at night. The thermostat was programmed to be high at night. All in all, it was a very wonderful experience.

Great house with lots of perks!

Our extended family of 15 gathered at Yacht Watcher for a fun and enjoyable week - we took advantage of all the "toys" including kayaks, ping pong, pool, dock, fishing, game room and more! Great location near bridge with easy biking access to restaurants, candy shop, general store, coffee shop and slushies. Watching the boats float by was fun and entertaining. Beautiful sunset views too!

Multi Family Fishing Trip

The check in process was quick and easy. The property was clean and well maintained. The home layout seemed to have a lot of wasted space. The kids loved the heated pool that heated up quickly and felt like bath water in 50 degree windy weather. Great fishing off the dock and walking distance to multiple restaurants!!

Plenty of space, beautiful views

Our family of 16 stayed here for just a few nights over the Thanksgiving holiday. The younger folks in the group enjoyed sleeping in the large room with multiple beds on the top floor. There was plenty of seating in the family room for football watching. We enjoyed watching the boats go by on the waterway. The kitchen was well-stocked. It was a short walk over to the beach, although it did take us a minute to figure out where the beach access was located. We had a nice stay and enjoyed the town of Holden Beach.

Family Vacatio

We decided to stay in Holden Beach for the first time. This house met all of our expectations and more. Julie is such a nice person and was so on top of everything we needed. The dock off the back yard was such a wonderful treat to have. We fished every day and caught so much fish. Boy is there a lot of different species of fish in the waterway. Our 12 year old son even caught a small shark right off the dock. Will definitely look at staying here again in the future!!

Trifecta Vacation Rental

Great beach! Great beach house! Great beach house owner. Our first time in Holden and we loved it! Truly a family beach town. As little or as much as you want to do, it’s there. The house was perfect for our large multi-family group. The amenities were great, and we used them all: private pool, large yard(we set up a volleyball net), ping pong table, kayaks, game room, outdoor shower, dock, list goes on and on…Also, the furniture throughout the house was of higher quality than you’d expect at a beach rental, especially the beds, which is so important. Lastly, and to me most important, the owner was fantastic. Answered my questions quickly and completely from booking to departure. Every time we had a question, Julie responded. It’s comforting to know that if you have question or concern the owner of your rental will be there to assist, Julie is THAT owner. I can’t recommend Yacht Watcher enough.

We loved our stay at your property! This was our first time at Holden Beach and we really enjoyed the little town. The house was clean and perfect for our group. We loved having the dock in the backyard for fishing and the short walk to the beach was not problem at all. Thank you for helping us to have such a wonderful trip and stay! We look forward to booking this house again!

The perfect house in a perfect location

We loved our time here. The house has everything you need for a great vacation. You can relax on the deck and watch the boats go by, jump in the pool, hit the arcade, relax in one of the many sitting rooms, cook in the spacious kitchen, and of course walk to the beach anytime you want. Don’t pass this house up! Holden Beach is the perfect non touristy beach destination.

Gorgeous Home with Plenty of Room!

What a pleasant surprise! What I mean to say is, I had challenges trying to picture how this house was laid out based on the pictures. It turned out to be FAR better than what I thought we had! The main floor is open with plenty of seating for meals and gathering. The bedrooms were well positioned and it all made sense. It's beautiful home! As soon as we walked in, my husband said, "We're staying here forever, right?!" LOL Beds were comfortable, we had everything we needed in the kitchen - there is both a keurig and a coffee pot. The entertainment seemed never ending - game room, kayaks, fishing. If one was bored, it was their own fault! We loved sitting on the covered decks overlooking the intracoastal; even on the one day it rained! Easy walk to the beach! Thank you for a great stay! We would definitely consider this house again!

Holden Beach - year 8

We have stayed in this home for the past 4 years of our 8 years at Holden. For our family, it provides everything we love-private dock, pool, close access to beach, Incredible amenities. We have never rented a home that has the perfect number of bedrooms, beds and personal space for everyone until we found this jewel! The new owner(s) have made so many wonderful upgrades and we all had a great time in the new game room. We hope to return to this home next year.

About the host

Your host

We have a large family which is what drew us to this property. When we are all able to come, there is 17 of us total and we never feel crowded.

Why they chose this property

Hello! This house was purchased by our family in the summer of 2020. We have vacationed here several times and loved it so much we wanted it to be ours! We loved the unique open floor plan that you just do not see too often at a beach house. With the huge kitchen, large open living space, and many bedrooms and beds, it fit our large family perfectly! The views can not be beat and the fishermen in the family spend hours on the dock while the other kids splash in the pool. We hope that you enjoy Yacht Watcher as much as our family does!
