This property was extremely clean and suited our family perfectly. It is a short walk to the beach and a very quiet neighborhood. The heated outdoor pool was nice and a definite plus. Would definitely rent again. Holden beach in March is so nice. No traffic and no wait times.

A great beach retreat

We enjoyed our stay very much at this house. It was exactly as pictured online, everything was clean, had a well stocked kitchen, and super convenient beach access. Our kids enjoyed the yard and we enjoyed relaxing on the back deck. Communication with the host was always helpful and prompt. We would stay here again for sure.

This was one of the best vacation homes we have stayed in especially for the price. Very short walk to the beach with a private ramp access, making it easy for adults and kids to get straight to the fun! Check in/out was really easy. It was immaculately clean and we had everything we needed for a week long stay! Thank you for a great experience and hope to rent with you again soon!

Family mini vacation

Our family truly enjoyed staying a few days at the house. The pool was a plus and made the trip that much more fun. The beach was just a short walk across the street and was not over crowded. Pretty much everything was provided in the home and the beds were super comfortable. We will return next year and highly recommend renting this house. The host responded to messages quickly and very gracious.

Nice house, close to beach

The house was just as described and what we saw in the photos. Parking was easy for 2 cars. The house was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of cups, plates, utensils and cookware in the kitchen. The outdoor pool and sitting area were perfect for our group with 4 kids. We were glad for the pool towels that were available at the house. We loved the short walk to the beach. And the host was friendly and responsive. Thank you for hosting us in your lovely home.

Family Vacation July 2023

Our family had a great time at Holden Beach and enjoyed the stay at Lil Sunshine. The property manager was prompt at answering any and all questions we had when booking and throughout our stay. The home was wonderful, the only problem we had was the bed in the master bedroom was uncomfortable so we bought a foam mattress topper to use on it and that fixed the problem!

Perfect location in Holden Beach!!

A++++ owner!! This was home away from home for our family; the location is perfect just a short walk out to the beach! The house had everything we needed, linens, towels, kitchen supplies, and even the outdoor shower was stocked with full privacy. We highly recommend "Lil' Sunshine" for anyone looking to spend time at Holden Beach! Thanks again for everything Anna! We'll be back next summer for sure!!
