Great location, excellent property

We stayed here the whole month of March as we had recently purchased a business in Holly Ridge. The house was clean, we had everything we needed to cook meals, and we loved the outside spaces.The house is convenient to so many great restaurants, grocery stores, and the beach. We always felt safe, and the area is quiet.We have already reserved additional days as this is a great place to stay!

Stunning, just stunning

Property was beautiful, new and well appointed. Plenty of light and all electrical switches and controls placed for intuitive operation. Thresholds we're all level and floors were attractive. Not one thing was out of order or inoperable. Plenty of things to do outdoors or inside during inclement weather. Absolutely a great place to stay and close to everything!

Best getaway place I could have found!

We are so happy we found Sound Haven for our first family vacation! From the moment we booked, the communication was top notch and stayed that way throughout our trip. When we needed something for our son, the owners were so helpful and quick to accommodate. The house itself is so beautifully decorated and clean. We loved the vibe of this place. We enjoyed the fire pit and the playground across the street. We really couldn't have found a better place to stay for our beach trip. EVERY detail was so well planned and carried out. I was so impressed and I hope to come back soon! Thank you so much for having us!
