Great mini-vacation

Adorable and eclectic A-frame. Only steps from the beach with a great front porch. Just a view of the dunes but the sound of the waves is very relaxing. Was able toake some grrat meals and the area was very quiet.

Rustic and Cramped

I don’t like leaving bad reviews, but this property is not up to what I expect for a VRBO rental. There is so much bulky furniture and home decor trinkets everywhere… making it cramped and uncomfortable. The worst part for me was the multitude of stains on all carpets and rugs. It was a disappointing stay at a lovely beach.

Picture perfect

This tiny home has so much character!! Spent a long weekend here with my 13 year old son and our beloved dog. We loved the home, the beach, and the area. The house is small and cozy. It’s adjacent to the public beach parking giving easy access. This house is not on stilts so you can not see the ocean from the back porch. The ladder to the loft area is cumbersome but worth it! Absolutely charming!!

Great stay and value

This is a great little place to stay for 1-3 people! It had everything we needed for 5 full days. You cannot actually see the beach from the back deck but you can hear it and the boardwalk to the beach is right next to the gate. We had a wonderful stay here and would come again!

Cute House, Excellent Location

House is much larger inside than it looks! Super cute and eclectic. Recommend having someone with a ladder clean the cobwebs in the rafters, but it was good ambiance for an October stay. Lol. Would definitely stay here again. Perfect for our 3 person family and easy beach access!

Pet friendly = run down

The property is old and run down. It reeks of dogs and cats and show knows what else. I guess whe a property is no longer worth investing into, then it becomes "pet friendly ". It's very small and cramped.

Perfect little hideaway in Holden

The A Frame is what drew us. The quaint decor and set up is perfect for small family. We had 2 adults and a cocker. The parking next door is quiet and monitored often. We had no problems. The people are so nice and the location is a must for those that wake, have coffee and head for the breach. We will definable back!!

Great spot for a couple

My partner and I had a great time staying at Anchors Holding, it was perfect for the two of us. The house has all of the necessities for a comfortable vacation, plus some. There’s plenty of kitchen tools for cooking and dishes if you prefer eating in. Lots of ocean and beach related books are laid out and the overall decor makes it a cozy place to stay. The bathroom is rather small and a taller/larger person will have trouble navigating some spaces in the house, like the shower or the stairs to the loft. We did have trouble getting the WiFi to work consistently for streaming but the cable worked okay. The outside shower was great to have and the deck was a comfortable space to hang out on and listen to the ocean, even with the public access right outside the gate we still felt we had privacy. There were of course other people using the public beach access but only found it to be noisier on the weekend days, through out the week it was very quiet. Overall we had a great stay and this is a home we would definitely consider renting again in the future.

The “Triangle” beach house

This cute little A frame provided a wonderful respite from everyday life! The decor is clean, beautiful and comfortable! We brought items like salt, pepper, towels and sheets with us but ended up not needing them because they were included with the house. It is important to know that you cannot see the ocean from the front porch of the house even though it is beach front.

Just say no

Listing was ethically and blantently misleading. Listing states new furnishings, well-equipped kitchen, central a/c, dvd player. None of that was true.

A quaint gem on the ocean

The house was simply adorable. We had a party of 4, so it was a little cramped but we knew that it would be when we rented it. Though the house is on the ocean, it does not have direct access to the beach. You have to slip out a side gate and utilize the public beach access. Again we knew this going in and felt that for the price, it was still well worth it. The back porch is not high enough to see the ocean, however you could hear the waves which was enough for us. Overall we loved this house, but would not recommend it for families with small children, as the stairs to the loft would not be suitable. The rental company, Vacasa was great to work with. We had a small problem with the outdoor hose and deck chairs and they went above and beyond to remedy the problem the same day.

No view of the Ocean

This was our first trip to Holden. I was unaware that this side of the island contained the public parking so the beach was quite busy on the weekend. During the week is what less so. I also did not expect the oceanfront home to not have a view from the deck of the ocean. The home has immense potential with a little rearranging and some TLC. It is a nice size for a couple. It does not have a full bath, just a shower and if you are a larger person you may have difficulty navigating the shower/bathroom.

Cozy Cutie

Overall our stay was good. The little beach front a frame was adequate accommodation but needs a little TLC. The A/C went out the first day we were there but the host had to window units installed quick which worked fine until the next morning when a repairman came and fixed the unit. The A/C worked fine afterwards but is completely rusted out and needs replaced. The house gave a feel of old rustic cabin that needed the cobwebs cleaned from the ceiling and an overall deep cleaning. The place is very small but works. The master bedroom only has a full bed so for a 6’3” man that feet hung off the end it wasn’t the most comfortable, not to mention my wife who is not short but we made due. The little loaf area has two twin beds and very cute but a little sketchy getting up to with the portable stairs/ladder and I would not recommend for small children but like 6 and above it would be mystical. The old boat in the ceiling is awesome! If you could get a queen bed in the master it would be nice. Bathroom extremely small, it gives the feel of a camper size bathroom but works fine. Overall we had a great time but the stay would have been much better if the little house was updated with new lighting, better bedding in the master, updated sofa and chairs throughout and just a overall deep cleaning. This place could be adorable, a true gem, it just needs some TLC.
