Holden Beach

We have been going to Holden Beach for over 10 years. It is our favorite place. This by far was the worst experience we have had with a rental property. When we arrived the house was not cleaned at all. We had to wait almost 3 hours for the cleaning crew to complete their cleaning. The garbage bags were removed from the garbage cans but the bottom of them were still dirty. The shower curtains in each bathroom had mold on them and the house had not had a deep cleaning done. There was dust on the vents and dirt on the doors and walls. The house is not well maintained as the hardwood floors are swollen and the doors in the closets and out to the porches either couldn't be opened or stuck. Good thing my husband had WD40 as we had to spray the doors to the porch in order to open easier. The toilet in the master bedroom on the 2nd floor wouldn't flush. A maintenance man was sent out and fixed it but later that day it still did not flush all the way so we did not use that bathroom. The toilet paper holder in the bathroom on the 3rd floor was coming out of the wall so we did not put the toilet paper on the holder. We had no lights on the stairs in the front or back so trying to walk down the stairs was dangerous. A maintenance person did come out 3 days later and replace the front fixture and we then had light in the front but none in the back. The stairs on the porch in the front were very dangerous and uneven. We paid for linens and were only give one towel each.

Great views and without overwhelming crowds

Our family really enjoyed our time together. The views and beach location was fantastic. We enjoyed the surrounding area and were happy to not be overwhelmed by crowds. The house was spacious and the elevator which serviced the top floor only was nice for bringing in and packing out our luggage. The house was beautifully decorated. Although, an update to furniture and mattresses is needed though as they are showing there age and usage. Lastly, while the house was overall clean, there was an obvious lack of detailed cleaning. Accumulated, dust and dirt in corners and dried food in the garage can was unappealing. The deck and furniture also needs to be cleaned and refurbished.

Excellent Location

We had a nice Spring Break in spite of the nasty weather. The house is in an excellent location: very quiet and excellent views! We were able to bring our dogs which made it a lovely vacation for the family. For future renters, note that the elevator does not stop at the main sleeping floor, so luggage needs to be ferried to the top floor, that has only one queen bed, and then carried down to the bedrooms. Also, the beds are not especially comfortable. The kitchen and living area are well equipped and have lovely views. The balconies are wonderful for taking in the sea air and relaxing. Overall we recommend this rental, especially if you have dogs.

"Holden" on to Fond Memories

Property was great and met all of our family needs. Pet friendly, which is so hard to find in a beach front home. Access to the beach was great and the elevator was a life saver for the senior members of our family. We will forever "Hold-On" to the memories we made at Holden Beach.

Gorgeous views! Challenging landscape for pets.

Hold-On-Beach is a lovely property sitting ia a perfect location! We stayed for 4 nights for my birthday weekend. It had everything my husband and I, and our fur-baby needed. They even put out dog bowls for him! You cannot beat the sweeping views of the beach, sunrises and sunsets! I loved enjoying coffee on all the decks and enjoying the heavenly views. I’d give it 5 stars if it weren’t for the landscape which was covered in sandburs. Sadly, our puppy’s first steps onto the property landed him in a yard covered in these. He suffered miserably. I cannot recommend this property for pets. It is a lovely home otherwise.

Spectacular and peaceful beach home

We were visiting with our oldest son, daughter in law and grandbabies. This home was perfect for all of us to be together. We were all able to have our own privacy when needed. We had easy access to the beach. The view from both balconies were incredible. The kitchen was well stocked for us. I definitely would recommend this home.

We had a great week at Holden and enjoyed this house. It was clean and the views and beach access were superb. The elevator was fantastic. My dad has mobility issues and the elevator allowed him to enjoy the week. It was also nice that the house manager, Gina, met us and showed us around upon arrival. I would definitely recommend this home.

Everything you would want in a beach house

Very Clean sizable house. Stayed in the property with a golden retriever and my wife and 2 kids. More than enough rooms for everyone and could easily add a few more people. My family of two girls and wife are very picky about cleanliness and they all gave this place two thumbs up. Amazing views from the two decks and couldn’t really be any closer to the beach, with very convenient access. Elevator was a nice feature for carrying in luggage and groceries. If you are heading to Holden Beach, you couldn’t go wrong with this rental.

Great location, very responsive owner/mgr, and love elevator!

We've been coming to Holden for about 20 yrs. and this has been our favorite property. We love the East side, the elevator is a god send for our older dog (and us), and the place is very spacious. It's hard to find nice places with pets on the water, this is the best!

About the host

Hosted by Meredith Altieri

Host profile image
Thank you for stopping to look at our new home. Just like you, we found Hold-On-Beach on VRBO, while looking for a relaxing family beach get-a-way. At the time, the three most important things to my family were being close to the beach/ocean, cleanliness and the ability to work remotely from the house. Hold-On-Beach succeeded my expectations and the fantasy of owning an ocean front home become a reality. Now that this is our family home, it is important to me that visitors to our house are able to have the same experience I did. I strive to make sure the house is clean and everything is in working order so guests can relax, have fun and can also feel comfortable that, if necessary, they can schedule an important business video conference call from the home. I have two young children, so I look forward to my kids growing up in the house and making a lifetime of memories. Hopefully you can make some great memories here too.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. This house is as close to the beach as possible, without being directly on the sand and without a private path, which is ideal to me. The dunes and street in between the house and the ocean give us added protection. We are located on the east end of Holden-Beach, which is extremely quiet and experiences very little traffic compared to the west end. The location is also wonderful because it allows you to sit out on the deck, watch surfers and the sunset, all without every leaving the house or getting sandy.
