Quiet Beach Front Property

The location felt safe and quiet. Beach access was easy and the beach wasn’t crowded. The house was nice, spacious and well stocked.Would recommend new locks for the doors as not all of them worked. Overall, a great beach rental and recommend to others!

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!

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.

Last Minute Decision

We were lucky to find this oceanfront cottage literally 3 days before leaving. The cottage is great as is the view. Our only challenge was with some door knobs that need replacing. We ended our stay with 60 mph gusts at 6 am, but the cottage held strong as we watched the storms pass. It was a great way to ring in the new year with our daughter with 70 degree days walking on the beach. Thank you.

FABULOUS FALL FOUR DAY GETAWAY!!

My husband and I love Holden Beach and have taken our family there for years. They are all grown, but when we want to take a break, it's the beach we think of first. I have wanted to stay at Hold-on-Beach for years because of its ocean front situation and its seclusion on the East Beach end of the island. We were not disappointed in any way. The house had everything we needed to rest and enjoy our stay to the max. I called Mr. Woods once to make a special request in regards to the television viewing selection, and he acted immediately. He was very accommodating from the get-go. Since it was just the two of us and during October he gave us a rate we could live with. On another note, the weather was outrageously gorgeous for our entire stay. . .in fact, we had not packed enough items from our summer wardrobe. I would highly recommend this place for a couple's get-away (definitely more house than you would need) or for a small group or one or more families. Thank you, Mr. Woods, for making your home available to us!

Hold on Beach

With a little elbow grease, this property could be amazing! I realize it is set to be remodeled, but all the baseboards and under all the furniture was filthy. There was dust on all the fans and air vents. The air had a musty smell. The washing machine had mold inside of it. Old construction debris and broken chairs outside could have been thrown out, some screens were hanging loose, outdoor furniture was not wiped down, and the yard was full of spurs and mosquitoes due to the swampy area next door. We had a good time, but our allergies kicked in big time from the dust. Our dogs could not walk around in the yard without getting spurs in their feet. Thank goodness for the elevator for Mom! We fixed a few screens and cleaned the top balcony furniture so we could enjoy the beautiful view. Every meal we had at Holden Beach was delicious!

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 house for the week! Communication very easy with the property manager, and the couple issues that we ran into were quickly resolved with the manager. The house could definitely use some improvements as it was a little dated and drafty, but the location could not be better!

Location, cleanliness and Realtor were great, but the house needs maintenance. Several exterior and interior doors were very hard to open or close. AC filters were old, dirty and musty. I installed new air filters, but the house (especially lower floor) smelled musty/moldy all week. All 4 bathrooms had been updated and were very clean. The kitchen was clean and well supplied with dishes and cookware, but the cabinet doors are delaminating.

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.

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.
